 | The complete gothic, folk and rock "Shadows of Darkness" score, recorded back when I was just 17!
Sit back and mellow/rock out as the Hero of the Lands saves Mordavia from the evil influence of the Dark One, and meets new friends as well as battles old foes.
The double soundtrack CD (from 2003/04) features the original "Quest for Glory IV - Shadows of Darkness" Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 (General MIDI) soundtrack, with Roland MT-32 and Roland Sound Canvas SC-8850 enhancements! Recorded digitally, using a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 SE. | All tracks in this SMC soundtrack are enhanced - including the "SC-55" and "MT-32" only tracks (no mix), which have had reverb enhancements in their creation, and mixing arrangements.
However, some tracks will have 2 versions: their original SC-55 sequence, and a Roland MT-32 'enhanced mix' (or vice versa in some cases). For such tracks, the text '(Enhanced)' appears in brackets following the track title. | All digital tracks are encoded at 44.1 kHz in stereo (CD quality) in two formats for your convenience:
1. Every track links to a MP3 file (formerly, this would link to Ogg's) encoded with LAME at an average 220 kbps, using the VBR method (if you don't care, it's high-quality).
2. The ZIP at the top of the page is the complete score in Ogg Vorbis format, at quality 7 (an average of 210 kbps), using the VBR method (also high-quality). | | For more information, please see SMC's forums and the new MP3/Ogg Vorbis explanation page, as well as the page on how to burn an SMC audio CD (also new!). (Of course, feel welcome to visit the SMC forums/contact Alistair if you have any issues/questions at all.) | ALSO: This rerelease of the old CD has had filenames changed- as lots of tracks on this double CD are repeats with different mixes (there's 17 such tracks), I've marked them "a" and "b" so you can remove repeats if you so wish. If you want to preserve the original playlist, the second "b" track is the special mix track, so the order is the same as the original anyway.
But I understand repeat tracks can be boring, so it's personal taste! (See below the tracklist for more.) | CD 1 Cover Art CD 2 Cover Art Playlist
