MOTM

So I was at a gaming convention in Anaheim this past weekend, trying 
out the upcoming Starcraft 2 (and Diablo 3, and World of Warcraft 
expansion), and heard the unmistakable timbres of an MOTM patch in the 
game music.  Later that day, I learned new theme music was written for 
SC2 by Russell Brower, which explained everything.  Figured I'd pass 
that tidbit along...

Russell has done great MOTM work at Blizzard. If you play WoW, most of the 
wind/rain effects are all MOTM. His best MOTM work is the game soundtrack 
for "Black Hawk Down" (Hans Zimmer did the movie). Here is my favorite cut, 
which is like a duduk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duduk).

I hope StarCraft 2 is less 'orchestial' like Wow and more MOTM.

BTW: the first game soundtrack with MOTM was Ureal II, and there are 
probably 12 titles out there with some MOTM content (EA Canada has a 
mid-sized MOTM in their studio).
