<p>Esteemed Codexian GarfunkeL is in desperate need of your help! <a href="http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=58499">He's trying to find a song</a>:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="postbody">This one song has been stuck in my head now. It plays in BG1 when Xan talks with the protagonist and the fucking BG1NPC-mod doesn't list it, as it's "unknown", which is bullshit since it's used in several films - none of which I can recall at the moment. It sounds western-y, maybe with pan flutes or something, no words, very melodic - maybe something that Vangelis would do. It's quite slow too, slowly building up. <br /> <br /> I know this isn't much to go but maybe if the description brings up ideas, folks could list them here and I'll go through them. <br /> <br /> It's a bit similar to Conquest of Paradise but slower and more haunting. <br /> <br /> Edit: the beginning of Ennio Morricone - Duck You Sucker - Giu' La Testa, watch: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxTTF_8Pyso&amp;feature=BFa&amp;list=PL3ACF6B4752885650&amp;index=54" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxTTF_8Pyso&amp;feature=BFa&amp;list=PL3ACF6B4752885650&amp;index=54</a> <br /> is pretty similar, just replace the "whistling" with pan flute.</span></p>

Not buried deep enough
You say that it plays when Xan talks to the PC. Are we talking about that first bit of conversation when you meet him in the Nashkel mines, or is it a recurring thing? I don't remember BG1 ever using specific musical cues to go with Party dialogue, but I could be wrong. It's been a long while since I played Baldur's Gate.

well, I played about 2 years ago and I believe you want to know a music added by the BG1NPC mod, not those above which are from the original soundtrack. I see they have a list with the tracks and where they borrowed from.

They used the dying swan for dynaheir's romance dialogue, and yet it's one of the songs not listed in their aknowledgements.

I'm downloading the music pack right now, because I have to hear a music rather than a description, since it can lead you in a another direction.

???

Why even suggest that - one of the most iconic pieces of movie music in history and one everyone is sure to recognize.

Insert clever insult here
Hahaha, this is awesome, thanks DU!

It's not part of the official soundtrack, as it was added by the BG1NPC-mod and as stated, the fuckers didn't list it in the readme.

Not the Good, Bad and Ugly theme, either.

Friend GarfunkeL, most of the music from the BG1NPC mod and its ilk is sourced from iconic RPGs and movie trailer music (Two Steps From Hell; E. S. Posthumus etc).

Though Conan is not sure of the piece you are referring to, he would narrow his search to those.

Argh, Conan thanks you Virtz. He was browsing the Kill Bill soundtrack, and he decided to check if anyone had found it. At least the Barbarian was on the right path...

And this GarfunkeL's quest is resolved and Virtz earns 1,000 Kodek Kool Kredits.

What an intelligent reply. Are you 10 years old? :salute:
