[QUOTE="Zombie Aladdin, post: 151726, member: 4242"] Oh yeah, that makes sense. You can't have Daft Punk in [i]TRON: Legacy[/i] otherwise, not to mention the tables themed on pop music. I was thinking specifically of orchestrated pieces, or at least orchestral instruments. It is currently exceedingly hard to replicate brass instruments too well, for instance, and in a majority of video games with large enough budgets, they will bring in a brass band if they need such a piece. [i]The Pinball Arcade[/i] is one of the few places where I can hear the background music of non-licensed games, as anywhere else, it's largely too loud to hear much of it, and I've been bugged by how MIDI-dependent even major releases like [i]Medieval Madness[/i] were even though they could have done orchestral pieces. Good to know that the WMS composers have plenty of real musical background though. By the way, one reason I asked this is because I collect video game music, and frankly, it's weird to me that there's been nothing even close to stuff like "[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UYXABAC06s]Melty Monster[/url]," "[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dwr7NCsICk]Moon Princess[/url]," or "[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQY9ZW-MkKg]Checker Knights[/url]" in pinball, even though it's a close brother to video games.
