Welcome to the soundscape of 1998!

"Spring" has a irregular intro that seems to go from 4/4 into a 3/4 song. I've tried my best te recreate that part, it wasn't easy! The result is a fun collaboration between the marching band and the flute playing on the same rhythm. 

"Knights and Merchants Revisited" is playlist/album where I recreate the soundtrack of this beloved game.

Listening to the old sound files it quickly became apparent that the quality of those songs sound quite oldskool and degraded. Rescoring them with modern instruments/technology greatly increases listening quality. It was a blast to figure out how the songs were built up back then. Taking some liberties in creating my own versions of those songs was the ultimate goal.

"The Queen" is one of the few mellow tracks that doesn't change all that much throughout. Its a comfortable melody that's extra fitting during early base building. Always loved how this track just doesn't bore.

Your town is on fire! The enemies are targeting your Keep! Focus up!

"Struggle" is pure chaos. The original track goes all over the place,  so i tried making the song a little bit more stable. I did however put in all the small blemishes this track needs to stand out. Adding a string section also enhances the feeling of impending doom.

"Deep Blue" was a hard track to recreate. I had a particular problem with finding the correct sound for the main motif. I ended up going for a combination of Bassoon and Bombarde. Ever heard of a Bombarde? Neither did I! Very happy with the end result.

"Court Dance" feels like a stroll through the castle grounds. A mellow track that plays well while building up your early economy.

"Middle Ages Horn" has a phat Tuba that could be considered the heartbeat of this track. Simple melodies accompany the bombastic low notes.

I always thought that "On the Battlefield" had a strange name for a song that was supposedly played in battle. It has a spring in its step that gives an adventurous vibe. Nonetheless, I tried evolving the song to a minimum. I tried adding some percussion that is only heard on a battlefield, keeping in theme with its name.

"Fanfare" is a short but sweet little snippet of music. It does its name justice and puts centre stage on the brass playing this little melody.

"At Court" is a reimagination of Mozart's Sonata No. 11 in A Major. Its clear that the original composer took quite some inspiration from Mozart and likeminded composers.

"In The Castle" has such a strong brass opening I had to do it justice. I also played a bit with the ending and gave it a brassy exit. Hope you'll enjoy it!

"In The Marketplace" has an ever rising melody modulating up to 4 times! Its predictable pattern makes it an easy to listen song to have on in the background.
