It's cool how they got Yanni to do the music...

Yeah, kinda like tinea, or a yeast infection

I'm trying to find the MP3s so that I can replace 'em. I unplug my speakers every time it starts into that one that sounds like Classical Gas.

The music is awsome, the middle ages music is the sweetest music i've heard in a computer game.

Please go play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night/Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight right away.

That would've rocked the freakin' house down!

the modern age music kicks ass!

I find myself jamming out to the guitars (not real guitars, just computer generated stuff). Almost as good as Metallica

Really? The modern age is when I had to turn it off. The "cool jazz, soft rock" mix was driving me nuts. But I liked the first three ages. EVERYONE seems to be bugged by at least one of the ages. Matter of taste, I guess.

Anyone out there like all four?

[Whammy]

Didn't really pay attention to much of the music, but I know I didn't like it. All I know is, is this modern music sucks. The damn saxaphone is driving me insane.

[Roland Ehnström]

What's wrong with the music?

Personally, I think the music is GREAT, and especially the moder-age music. But that's just me, or is it?

Peace!

I don't mind all four... I don't really like electric guitar though, but I got used to it in the modern age because it's not so.. loud and brutal

I just switch it off and play my own CDs instead. Winamp runs well underneath... You need a relatively new sound-card, though, my AWE32 couldn't handle two simultaneous wave sources. One of the reasons I bought a Live! Platinum 5.1.

Lol, I was just reading this thread when Kenny G showed up on the Macy's parade.

[Slingshot]

The spirit of Kenny G runs rampant in the modern era.

They could have picked more epic themes. Movies like Crimson Tide (e.g. "Roll Tide" by Zimmer) and the Hunt for Red October are filled with good music that should have been used instead.

After a couple of games, I turned the music off.

I'd have liked special themes when war is declared, something like the Empire's theme from Star Wars, just to set the mood. Musical cues, as in the Heroes of Might and Magic series might have been good as well.

I just wish the game wouldn't crash in 5 mins with music enabled...funny thing is that I can play MP3s trough Winamp and play Civ3 at the same time w/o any problems.

I really kinda dig some of the tracks.

The Ancient Era redeux of some of the Civ 2 music is pretty cool, especially with the variations on the older theme. The Middle Era isn't bad, but not particularly *great*. I'm not a big fan of the Industrial Era music- too Victorian for my tastes: something a little more baroque or even grittier would've been kinda cool. I really don't like one of the Modern Era tracks, but the other two sound like something off of Kid A, and I can definitely dig that
