A question that has never been answered is [b]WHY[/b] Music of the Spheres (not excerpts we had on Destiny 1 soundtrack) was never released? Don't care if it's only three, four or ten minutes missing, it needs to be published. Bungie took great care for audiophiles to release Destiny 2 soundtrack, not only as an mp3 digital version, but in high fidelity format as well.
Honestly, I love the OST 2 but one was far superior. It won many awards, here are some I remember:
[b]The Game Awards:
Best Musical Score & Soundtrack
PlayStation Lifestyle:
Best Soundtrack of 2014
D.I.C.E. Awards: Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition
NAVGTR Awards: Original Dramatic Score
GANG (Game Audio Network Guild) Awards:
Best Original Soundtrack Album
Music of the Year & Best Original Song[/b]
Where are the high quality files for it?
Music of the Spheres is a symphonic and choral suite in eight movements, few video games can boast such glorious music. And let's not forget the FREE (for those who ask) Paul McCartney collaboration.
There is a master, it was finished. Studio/Publishing Co. execs took it away from the composer, forbid him to distribute it, or use the music anywhere. That is crazy! Music should belong to the people, not publishers.
I will never throw money at emotes, but boy! Oh! boy! name your price for MotS, and I will gladly pay for it.
I am not privy nor do I want to be, of the studio's internal affairs, but as fans/consumers, we see the results and feel the impact of top executives' decisions regarding artistic content. All we want is the music, it exists but for some odd reason, it's locked up somewhere. I find this disgusting not only because of the giant FU to the artist (who contributed heaps of beautiful music for more than a decade to the franchises, and helped raise it to where it stands today), but to the fans as well.
Games come and go and for some of us with busy lives and little gaming time.
[b]But the music always stays.[/b] I've listened to the sounds of Halo a lot more than I've actually played it ;)
TL;DR
Music of the Spheres was never released in its entirety. Release all of Destiny's soundtrack in high fidelity format.
Studio/Publisher can generate extra revenues with little effort. What's the problem?
Edit:
I love music, all kinds of music and so do millions of others. Music is all those stories words alone sometimes fail to express. The only narrative in Destiny which made complete sense to me was its music.
Recently discovered a musical collaboration while listening to David Bowie's music, which I realize I knew too little about.
Philip Glass wrote two symphonies based on Bowie/Eno's work from their albums "Low" and "Heroes". The result is incredibly awesome. Now if some crazy publisher had gotten in the way for whatever a publisher's reason may be, we could have missed out on this.
The same level of collaboration happened between Marty O'Donnell, Mike Salvatori and Paul McCartney with Music of the Spheres. Three great artists, composers, musicians worked on a project. I hear a little of all of them listening to it, musicians influencing other musicians, classical music introduced to younger generations. It is a beautiful symphony and choral suite in eight movements. It deserves to be published in its entirety (not only excerpts).
Bungie used to be a lot more than just another studio making video games. Respect for art and artistic integrity seemed a high priority. The game gave opportunity for a timeless piece of music to be written, let us hear it in its entirety!
Links to Philip Glass' Heroes and low, for those interested.

This needs to be spread out to the rest of the world, one musical piece from "Music of the Sphere's", the one called "The Union" is one of the greatest piece of action music I've ever heard in my life. The reason is because it evokes the feeling of a journey, fighting deadly foes here and there on the journey to become legend, at the end of it, you feel as if you've become legend after listening to that song :) its sinful alone that its only used twice in destiny (the cutscene where you first arrive at the tower and the final part of the battle against the black gardens heart) While the excerpt is good, it is still only a piece of this magnificent music. infact all of the excerpts of Music of the Sphere's are brilliant, the fact that none of them have a full release makes me feel very sad :(

When I met Mike Salvatori I asked him about this but didn't much info, all I got it is that he hoped it would be released at some point. I think Activision had to do with it but that is solely my opinion. It was sad though because I could tell it meant a lot to him (as does all compositions do to their composers, they are like our babies!!). Completely agree with everything said above. Never forget MotS

由WickedWahine808編輯: 1/5/2016 1:40:28 PMHave been listening to bits and pieces of MotS scattered in cyberspace. There is so much we are missing from those tiny excerpts! It is really tragic, devastating and appalling this masterpiece hasn't been released. Thankfully, as a wise man once said, no one remembers the name of publishers and corporations behind music and songs, but we all remember the artist/composer. That's doesn't make it right though. Free this music from whoever or whatever trapped it in its evil clutches. So angry and disgusted right now. Need to go punch something. Edit: Punched a tree and the tree won but then we hugged. Still trying to understand though how artists, in this case musicians, can compose something as beautiful as Music of the Spheres thanks to their talent, work and years of collaboration and someone else, somehow, has the power to not share it with the public. We live in a strange world.

This was answered - it's all in the judgement which you can google and was for yourself.

I so heartily agree. We at least got to hear a few excerpts from it, a favorite among many being Excerpt from the Union. I really want to know what the full versions of these tracks sound like. The Excerpts by themselves were masterful!
