Nice! His memorable music helped shape past TW games. Who could remember them without remembering their epic music?

Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Did Jeff Van Dyke just do STW and MTW? Or did he do anything beyond that? I just can remember how immersive the music in STW was! Hopefully they have similar voice acting/quotes like in the original STW as well. Whipped dog, running for his worthless life, even the peasants grow fat, poignant poems, etc. All great stuff!

He did the music all the way through Medieval 2.Originally Posted by A Nerd
Indeed. Would be cool if CA managed to get the same voice actors again. The narrator in the teaser trailer sounds like it might the same guy as in the original Shogun, but I can't tell for sure.

Van Dyke did all the Total war music from Shogun up to and including Medieval II. He was originally listed as the musical director for Empire, but for what ever reason he was not involved. It was quite apparent too---the music for Empire lacked variety and was simply not memorable when compared to all the previous titles. Napoleon's new music (what there is of it) was much better.

He did all the non-pukefest games. Meaning everything but ETW and NTW.
THIS. IS. SOOOOO. AWESOME.

I loved the way all would be quiet in MTW's map view when you notice the lute starting.
Re: Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for Shogun 2
Yeah he did it in Rome too, super awesome guy.

I wonder when we'll hear the first songs from the game. :D
