[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3869506, member: 4134"] Well, if you play computer games, it usually helps to mine them for soundtracks. Nowadays those are usually in the form of MP3 files or something similar. Maybe you'll have to look into some packed archives, but there's usually good tools to browse those. Other than that, there's always movie soundtracks - fantasy movies like Lord of the Rings work best, of course, but often, other movies also have good stuff, too. Finally, there's always bands that perform instrumental music without singers - not necessarily just those who are sold specifically as game music. In the first category I regularly use the stuff from Heroes of Might and Magic V and its two expansions (the sounds are .ogg files rather than mp3s, but winamp or other music players can handle those, too) - which is a really great game, too - and NWN/NWN2 (in the case of NWN2, I make most use of those sounds as the game is a bitter disappointment compared to NWN1) In the second category, the LotR soundtrack is always good. In the last category, I occasionally use Apocalyptica stuff. The newest Nightwish also comes as a special edition with a second disc containing instrumental versions of the songs (though the stuff I heard of that sounds more like songs with the singer edited out rather than music meant to be instrumental only). I generally prefer music without any vocals as Roleplaying Soundtrack, because singing tends to distract from the actual action unless you turn it down enough to be a mere background splashing) [/QUOTE]
