Civilization Beyond Earth

This page lacks information about the soundtrack of Civilization: Beyond Earth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.107.123.72 (talk) 18:15, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Notable?

As with all such things, this is not notable without significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. No such coverage is presented in the article and I was unable to locate any. My prod based on this concern was removed without comment. Unless sources show up in the next week or so, I'll take it to AfD for possible deletion. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:02, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

AHHHH!! But I used this wiki to find so many good songs I could not have found without! :*( 75.73.114.111 (talk) 03:28, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Good for you. However, we still need substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:45, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Then by all means, lets add them, deleting this page will get us nowhere. BallroomBlitzkriegBebop (talk) 02:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

If I had independent reliable sources, I would. I don't. Do you? Feel free to add them... - SummerPhD (talk) 03:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Oh well, the page needs to be structured better rather than have any additions anyway, I'll get on that. BallroomBlitzkriegBebop (talk) 02:19, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm in the process of writing a scholarly article on the subject of the use of preexisting music in Civilization IV. I will do my best to make it available to be cited here. There are already cases of misinformation on this page, specifically the citation concerning who performed the works on the soundtrack. For example, the Ay Santa Maria and La Gamba were recorded by Musica Antiqua of London under the direction of Philip Thorby. The tracks were released on the "A Royal Songbook" album under the Naxos Label. I will be sure to include this information in my article so that the misinformation here can be cleared up. I hope my article will lend official validation to the beloved and (I believe) well constructed soundscape for Civ IV. Kertcu (talk) 01:44, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Content

I have identified a prominent motif used in the Civ IV soundtrack part for Charlemagne is in fact an orchestration of the 1998 Dumbrill interpretation of Hurrian Hymn Number 6. I find it interesting that three key ancient songs- the Epitaph of Seikilos, the Hurrian Hymn no. 6, and one of the Delphic Hymns to Apollo have found their ways into the Civilization franchise... the latter in III, the primary in V, and the middle in IV. - 76.118.3.57 (talk) 21:48, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

CIV 2 Hoover Dam

Pretty sure this one's inspired by the Track "Landing complete" - which does not necessarily contradict what the article says, I think both are the same. --92.202.15.250 (talk) 21:10, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Should Civ 5's outsourced music be mentioned?

The way the article is worded is a bit misleading; it simply says, "The soundtrack... was written by...", because that implies the whole thing was written by Knorr and Curan, despite the fact that a vast majority of the in-game soundtrack is outsourced from several music libraries, including APM and DeWolfe Music, and includes tons of classical and folk pieces. Should this be acknowledged in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.21.1.92 (talk) 23:57, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
