Ooh, too bad the artist is list as "unknown", as I looked up on Wikipedia. I'm sure that you, just like me, badly want to know the composer & listen to some more of his music. As you stated, these pieces stand out among the soundtracks.
BTW, I don't know about you, but the feeling of knowing someone out there who has the same taste of something, to me, is truly... pleasant. Some other word may fit better, my vocabulary is rather limited. But I'm quite happy typing these words now, just as when I read your post above.
In case you share the same feelings, I think that you don't mind sharing more of your preferences, to prove our connections - at least in music. Now music is a very broad term, and I myself have so many favorites in many types, but I'll dig into them when I have more time. At the moment I'll get to what pops up in my head right now. As in gaming, if you've played AOE: ROR you're surely to like its music (here:
