History AwesomeMusic / JeremySoule

* He did the music for ''[[Website/GaiaOnline zOMG!]]'', which for a game in which you kill animated plungers with jewelry, has some really cool music. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DDrM1mBgQo this]] theme is a particularly epic example, though there are many others, such as the "Village Green (Gnome Man's Land)" theme, and the "Barton Sewers/Undersea Cliffs" theme.) Keep in mind this is music playing while you beat up Lawn Gnomes and Sand Castles. Doesn't make it any less awesome though. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu5KSHohxj4 This song in particular,]] which plays during the endboss battle with [[spoiler: Labtech X and his Sealab X]].

* His work for ''VideoGame/BaldursGateDarkAlliance'' includes the beautiful and haunting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNDZUZKhwRE Elfsong theme]], as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkX0QvqBFMY It's Raining In Baldur's Gate.]] Good boss songs are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V289NMuyAWk The Orb Of Undead]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRznnfHAimQ Sess'sth's]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYqEW0df2eI Xantam's]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxx_WRs7snU Ciraxis']], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uyiI3V22rA Ilavarra's]]. But the absolute best one of all has to be the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq-eJ9M2OIM final boss theme]], which is incredibly heartbreaking and epic. The sequel also has great music such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9icd9u6D9c Aizagora's]], [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsYw9jWNBYs Female Vampire (name is spoiler)]]]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqkUkHaGZyg Zarad's]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrthxFJQRBA Harnac's]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9J-h8Btx0g The Basilisk's]].

%%* [[http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/6578 A few of his tracks]] from the ''VideoGame/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'' video game are pretty interesting.

* One of the biggest {{Ear Worm}}s of all time, the ''VideoGame/DungeonSiege'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ysisxLSfsg theme]], and the rest of its awesome soundtrack.

* He does some ''more'' than passable Music/JohnWilliams impersonations with his ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' soundtrack. The ominous "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-8I-SET1ec Korriban Academy]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUUG7_2fkhY Darth Malak's Theme]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSKvMyruPTA The Old Republic]]", and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeoGAKXsMjE Bastila's Theme]]" are just a sample - all of it is on par with the movies.

* The music for the 2000 TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms RPG ''VideoGame/IcewindDale''. Sadly forgotten, it had an amazing soundtrack, even for the tiny village you start in. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i381VcMpoMQ Listen to it here]]. The best part is the starting town piece, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K7dfP3QlS4 Easthaven in Peace]] and its later, darker counterpart, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJdhYBQj6VI Easthaven in Pieces]]. The main theme, Stark Waste, is pretty cool, too.

* ''Anything'' from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGLphQPp3dc Supreme Commander]]. Company of Heroes has some especially good stuff.

* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'': The whole soundtrack [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=admtLPpr8a8 Tome of Rubicon]]. Actually the entire soundtrack of ''Eye of the North'' deserves mention.

* [[http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/6578 A few of his tracks]] from the ''VideoGame/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'' video game are pretty interesting.

* ''VideoGame/PuttPutt Travels Through Time'' also has a very well made score, despite somewhat compressed sound quality. For instance, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j08gzaBiqvs the third Medieval theme]].

* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'' deserves a mention if only for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=admtLPpr8a8 Tome of Rubicon]]. Actually the entire soundtrack of ''Eye of the North'' deserves mention.
* In ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'', the awesome level gets considerably bumped up from its predecessor. Almost the entire soundtrack is CMOA, but a special mention goes to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gay1Cn2o4i8 main theme]], heard in the manifesto trailer. Good and gracious God, that theme is absolutely incredible; Jeremy really pulls out all the stops for Arenanet. It's no wonder that the fans were so happy when it was announced that he was returning to compose Guild Wars 2 soundtrack.

* ''TotalAnnihilation'' is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mOG3Q8CSoY an embarrassment of riches.]] (Try a few different tracks. Some of them, e.g. "Futile Attempt", are slow and haunting. Others, such as "The March Unto Death", "Fire and Ice", and "Brutal Battle" are war music if ever there was.)

* His scores for the ''VideoGame/HarryPotter'' games have shades of this. Some fans think Soule's ''Literature/HarryPotter'' themes rival those written for [[Film/HarryPotter the movies]] by freakin' JohnWilliams.
* He does some ''more'' than passable JohnWilliams impersonations with his ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' soundtrack. The ominous "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-8I-SET1ec Korriban Academy]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUUG7_2fkhY Darth Malak's Theme]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSKvMyruPTA The Old Republic]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeoGAKXsMjE Bastila's Theme]]" are just a sample - all of it is on par with the movies.

* GaiaOnline's MMO ''zOMG!'' had some pretty awesome tracks, like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c7JxWosQkA Village Greens Frenzy]].

* He did the music for ''[[GaiaOnline zOMG!]]'', which for a game in which you kill animated plungers with jewelry, has some really cool music. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DDrM1mBgQo this]] theme is a particularly epic example, though there are many others, such as the "Village Green (Gnome Man's Land)" theme, and the "Barton Sewers/Undersea Cliffs" theme.)

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu5KSHohxj4 This song in particular,]] which plays during the endboss battle with [[spoiler: Labtech X and his Sealab X]].

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu5KSHohxj4 This song in particular,]] which plays during the endboss battle with [[spoiler: Labtech X and his Sealab X]].
* Soule's also the main composer for ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, starting from ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]''. And yes, his work in those games is awesome, too.
** The ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' theme would be the most triumphant example. Its creation started when Todd Howard told Soule that he imagined a viking choir singing the Elder Scrolls theme.
* ''GuildWars'' deserves a mention if only for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=admtLPpr8a8 Tome of Rubicon]].
** Actually the entire soundtrack of ''Eye of the North'' deserves mention.

** And then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBOv-W_aPjg The Seraph]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuvX26LfjGg Raven Speaks]], both of which actually turn up in some events and story battles.
** Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOMQxVtbkik Fear Not This Night]] plays during the credits.

** Similar to the Perfect Dark example above, one of ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'''s most awesome tracks plays during the autorun menu.

* ''[[VideoGame/DawnOfWar Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War]]'' and its sequel. Especially the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LWGnkCYprU Space Marine theme]].
** And then there's the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qGi9ppL34E Chaos Theme]]. This music has to be responsible for creating at least some villains out there. It is one of the best in the game (subjective of course).
* And Soule has even made his own OC Remix of Terra's theme from FFVI. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_rpLNt81LU Listen to it here.]]
* ''VideoGame/SecretOfEvermore'', which may have been his first game, was by and far little besides ambient noise...[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_LZN6LOa98 Except for the credits.]]
** Some tracks are hautingly beautiful, such as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNsilaWwYH0 Collosia, Chamber 2]].
* Even his scores for the ''VideoGame/HarryPotter'' games have shades of this. Some fans think Soule's ''Literature/HarryPotter'' themes rival those written for [[Film/HarryPotter the movies]] by freakin' JohnWilliams.

* Even a few of his tracks from ''ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'' video game are pretty interesting. They can all be found [[http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/6578 here]].
* His work for ''VideoGame/BaldursGateDarkAlliance'' is also quite good. There's the beautiful and haunting [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNDZUZKhwRE Elfsong theme]], as well as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkX0QvqBFMY It's Raining In Baldur's Gate.]] Good boss songs are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V289NMuyAWk The Orb Of Undead]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRznnfHAimQ Sess'sth's]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYqEW0df2eI Xantam's]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxx_WRs7snU Ciraxis']], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uyiI3V22rA Ilavarra's]]. But the absolute best one of all has to be the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq-eJ9M2OIM final boss theme]], which is incredibly heartbreaking and epic.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOMQxVtbkik Fear Not This Night]] plays during the credits.

** Let's not forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOMQxVtbkik Fear Not This Night]] that plays during the credits.
* The score of ''NeverwinterNights'' and its sequel just goes from one CrowningMusicOfAwesome to another.
** Similar to the Perfect Dark example above, one of ''NeverwinterNights'''s most awesome tracks plays during the autorun menu.

* The martial music for ''VideoGame/{{Supreme Commander}}'' is also ''epic''. Especially [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGLphQPp3dc Bellum Infinitus]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDDQShIqjgk Risk Relief and Victory]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-vKTsqGRDo The Future Battlefield]].

* One of the biggest {{Ear Worm}}s of all time, the ''DungeonSiege'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ysisxLSfsg theme]], and rest of it awesome soundtrack.
* {{GaiaOnline}}'s MMO ''zOMG!'' had some pretty awesome tracks, like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c7JxWosQkA Village Greens Frenzy]].
