Civ 4 Music :)

[Backside]

If you like Baba Yetu then I recommend tracking down the soundtrack to the film 'The Power of One' by Hans Zimmer. It's a great album and fits nicely with the African choir sound.

In a curious coincidence, I used Charles Darwin to rush Medicine.
It seems that they didn't really remove ToE, since the Biology civ advance has taken its place. Note that it's not Enlightenment-era naturalism like the Linnaean system, but seems to represent the modern synthesis of biology.

btw, not a word about Dvorak yet? He fits the Industrial Age perfectly! Hearing the second movement of "From the New World" saved my whole day. Perhaps the finest track in the game. (filename Dvorak9 2)

It's wonderful. The other Dvorak pieces are nice too, but the Dvorak9 2 is perfect.

It'sa nice piece of music, but I can't separate largo from the Hovis advert.

Yes, but don't you think it sets the scene for the industrial era with the instant Lancashire mill-town vibe. Small child climbs hill of two-up two-downs against grimy backdrop of chimneys and dour proletarian toil.

(Modern version of Hovis advert for UK posters : "ay-oop .... new neigbours")

Dvorak was nice, even great, but personally I prefer the Brahms peices. They add a nice touch of pathos.

I have not looked hard enough, is there ANY Mozart?

Another fine example of thread necromancy, and only due to the search button.

You haven't. There is.

But another question is the real reason to post:
Has anyone an idea who is singing the medieval era music? They are performing very well. In fact, this is the reason why I usually use the oracle to trigger Christianity, and why I try to defer the transition to Renaissance. The music of the medieval era is Renaissance music, btw.


So, you may go on discussing off-topic about religion, but only after answering my question, please.

I would say they are not unlike Judaism catholicism is not a race as well as a religon. "non-practicing non-believing catholics are not catholics.

So you say jews are a race ? Here is one piece of advice: Never say that in Germany ! You might get into jail for it. Wether true or not, it contributed to alienating the jews to the rest of german society and justifying the holocaust. Ever since then, it is political education agenda to make sure jews are concieved as a religious group - not a race. Actually the whole race thing itself is not PR in Germany at all.

I don't know about Germany, but the Jews consider themselves to be a "race" (or whatever you call a homogenous group of people with a common ancestry). You can be an atheist and still be a Jew (I had a teacher who was); and you can believe in Yaweh and still not be a Jew.

I'm not sure I'd consider the modern day Jew to be a race exactly, given how there are several 'races' of Jews with quite different ethnic ancestry post-diaspora; but ultimately I think it's just splitting hairs...
