This was off a concept art video, which I can't get to load anymore so I can't link it...no idea why. Anyway, it sounds bloody amazing.
 
  

amazing? it sounds super generic, which would make sense if Inon Zur is doing the soundtrack again, but definitely not amazing.

I'm psyched.

Yup, that's fantasy music.

That new song is really fantastic. Had to close my eyes and soak it up with my earholes.

And I thought the music to Oblivion was great. Oh boy simply can't wait. Thanks for sharing links.

Better be a trigger ingame to cue it when you roll into town, at night, in the rain.

Gonna get me a mod that adds in all the Morrowind music too. There will be one.

They've used this in some trailers.

I don't like you.

It won't be one I will have on my ipod, but sounds more than good enough to set the tone of the game. Can't wait for this game. Every part of it should be at least adequate at this rate, most of it looks fantastic.

Wow.

Wish I could listen to the rest of it.

Sounds pretty good! It doesn't have really catchy melodies that would get old after a while (we're talking about a 300hr game here), and that's a plus. I'm curious to hear the "fight" music.

Oh wow, I like the new one a lot.

Sounds like a bad version of a Nick Cave & Warren Ellis song.

Umm... look, I love the main theme. I love it a ton. But that music in that first video there is totally generic fantasy music. It has a nice ambient flow to it, it's good and all, but it's hardly noteworthy.

Strolling through the wilderness, plains, towns and mountains with that kind of music will be perfect for me. I hope Bethesda keeps their file structure like they did in past games so the music will be easy to take and plug into my iPod Touch. It will be great travel and study music.

Sounds pretty good.

Ah, good ol' Jeremy Soule. I still prefer his Guild Wars work to his Elder Scrolls stuff. Even so, all his soundtracks are fantastic.

Ah, it is a bit generic, not that I'd expect ambient music to be any different. Their main themes are always good, but it is recycled material after all.

Ughsdf the beauty of it all somebody quick HOLD MY HAND

I have greatly enjoyed Soule's work with TES in the past, and I anticipate the new sound track with great interest.

Couldn't agree more. Guild Wars is pretty much the only game where I turn all sound effects off while playing and just have the music on

Ah that main theme is still fucking great. Can't wait to play this game.

This. I love Soule's work so much and a big part of the excitement I have for Skyrim is to hear Soule's new soundtrack. This is why i'm not listening to anything in this thread. I want to keep the surprise for the release! :D

I think it sounds great. I seriously can't wait for the game to come out. I was disappointed in Oblivion but Skyrim truly looks like it will be a masterpiece.

Yummy. I want more.

That skyrim theme still gives me chills when it bursts into the main chorus on the first gamplay trailer.

Whatever. I'll be listening to the main theme whenever I play.

This is like chill/goosebumpy music for me. Love that shit!

Fuck if we could get some Bad Seeds in here that would be the best shit.

Y'know what, a Cave/Ellis soundtrack for a gritty fantasy game would be A-OK in my book. It would have to be a real crapsack world to match the tone though.

How are they going to stretch a 1:17 track out for the whole of a 30+ hour game? I don't know, I think this bodes poorly for Skyrim.

That does sound very much like fantasy music!

Oh man, definitely getting a Celtic/Viking vibe from that new song, which is always a good thing. Just 2...more....weeks...

Jeremy Soule is a great composer but the Oblivion soundtrack was very flat and generic and from these samples it doesn't sound like Skyrim's would be any different.

I'm not too impressed with the first one. It's nice, but it's pretty uneventful and meandering without much emotion, though I do like the slight chorus vocals at ~:35. The second one is quite good, though. Has some evocative strings in there. I'm guessing it's dungeon music, which is nice considering Oblivion's dungeon music was always so dull.
