Civilization 7 Soundtrack/Music discussion

[Leucarum]

I liked the Cree, Maori and Zulu themes in Civ6 too. I guess you don't like the sound of gamelan and other high pitched Southeast Asian instruments then.

Maybe, out of the SEA civs in 6, I liked Vietnam's theme, but that sounded like it used quite a different set of instruments to Indonesia or Khmer. It wouldn't surprise me if it's just a specific musical style I don't gel with.

Vietnam's music is much more Sinitic.

Let's go! I'm not completely tone deaf after all!

Oddly it sounds to me that Civ 7 Khmer theme has the same sang words as Civ 5 Siam theme and Civ 7 Siam theme has the same melody as Civ 6 Khmer, lol.

 

[Baudshaw]

Well, looky here:

It's the best modern age theme by far, goddamn it's so good

You sure about that?

There's definitely overlap in musical styles between the Khmer and Thai for sure.

 

[Baudshaw]

Or...

I could rant about this song all day long...

 

[TheGhostEnthusiast]

Just got the opportunity to listen to this one, and wow... I haven't jived with the Modern themes so far, but this one is one of my favorites in the game! I'm not too fond of the orchestration, but that seems to be the standard for the Age, so what'll ya do?

 

[canadamufc]

Loving Siam too. The Modern Age civ themes are so much better than their Exploration/Antiquity counterparts. Really the only one in Modern I'm still neutral on is France, the rest of them have been really good for me!

 

[Potworny]

I love the orchestra, I love the orchestra, I love the orchestra

 

[Kjimmet]

Some of the youtube videos include new music.

9:10 forward has one track playing briefly (beginning drumming is a bit lost under his voice), 18:35 has another. 24:00 has third.

 

[Guandao]

I've noticed that the music playing during the "Wonder movies" is basically the theme of the associated Civ. The Great Stele's music was Aksum's theme. The Colosseum's music was Rome's theme. The Oracle's theme is Greece's theme etc.

Dur-Sharrukin and Emile Bell have new unfamiliar music, will these be the actual themes for the Assyrians and Shilla?

I actually really liked the melody for Dur-Shurrukin, so I'm probably gonna love the Assyrian theme in Civ7.

 

[Baudshaw]

YESS! Ambient themes! I was a bit scared they wouldn't be there

 

[Guandao]

Angkor Wat's wonder movie music sounded a bit different from the Khmer's regular theme in Civ7 though.

 

[CivLuvah]

YESS! Ambient themes! I was a bit scared they wouldn't be there

This is great news! Hopefully, there will be ambient themes in the modern era as well.

 

[Naokaukodem]

What do you call ambient themes compared to other musics playing while your playing on the map ?

 

[queenpea]

Now that music is tied to a single age, I’m really going to miss the evolving themes from VI. Progressing from the quiet drums at the start of the game to the sweeping, bombastic themes in the late game (shoutout Russia) was a lot of fun.

 

[Weraptor]

And shoutout to @Zaarin as well I guess

 

[Guandao]

if the music for Dur-Sharrukin and Emile Bell wonders are actually the themes for Assyria and Silla/Shilla, I'm guessing they are coming soon in DLCs.

 

[Kankan]

if the music for Dur-Sharrukin and Emile Bell wonders are actually the themes for Assyria and Silla/Shilla, I'm guessing they are coming soon in DLCs.

They could do something similar to what Civ 6 did with city states that became cities in DLC civs where both wonders become associated wonders of their respective civs and are then replaced with a different wonder.
