  • Leonardo's Workshop Music

    Sorry to ask it here, but the Civ II forums are basically dead.

    Does anyone remember what music that used for Leonardo's Workshop wonder in Civ II is based upon? Song title, album or author? Anything?

    There is a thread about Civ2 wonder music in the other place:
    I went on an e-mail fishing trip and this is what I caught from Tim Train ....Most of the wonder movie music was inspired by certain pieces--we actually mocked them up using the pieces as placeholder, and then the music guys composed music that is "in the style of" that piece. Pyramids...


    In the main post, Leonardo's music is said to be inspired by "cantaloop". There is some more speculation about the origins further down in the thread.

    By the way, I think the Civ2 forums are just dormant, not dead. If you are willing to risk waking someone, you may get a more conclusive answer over there.

      Thanks man!!!!

      It is indeed "Cantaloop" by Us3, which in its own was inspired by "Cantaloupe Island" by Herbie Hancock. That's what I was looking for!

      Thanks again!!!!!!



      Sorry for being too emotional but I was about to give up finding it - you can't just sing "na-na-na" into a google search.

          I remember seeing The Last of the Mohicans for the first time about 7 years ago and thinking, "hey, they stole all their music from Civ2!"
