Civilization 4 - Looking for those music types

[b4u]

Hi,

Many of you may have played civilization 4 game already, well I tried it last night. I'm a civ fan since the first, still I started from the tutorial, to get the new feel of this last game from the series.

Now the first minute I entered into the game, it was a shock! Well, a positive one, in fact ... this game has some of the most beautifull musics I have ever heard! And I want them!

The music from the introduction is called "Coronation", and the even more beautifull one from the menus is called "BabaYetu". Both are creations of this Christopher Tin guy.

Now I've downloaded them (Christopher Tin Official Sample Site) and I would like to know if any of you know of any band that has simillar works, I would like to get some of their works, if they are simillar.

The mix between some kind of African sounds, lyrics and rythm is what makes it an awesome work!


Any of you know where I should look for?

Thanks.

Baka Beyond.
I don't know if they have much lyrical stuff, but their music is African-tribal-esque I believe.

I didnt know that. I just knew i liked the overall sound production they put into the game. the french/spanish/chinese/etc units actually speak mostly accent free native languages. I mean that's quality and attention to detail. I loved the main menu song also. gotta dl that now.

All the songs from the game (opening, in-game, victory, etc.) are in the install folder on your hard drive. Nice and non-DRM'd Mp3s too. Baba Yetu 'til the cows come home.

As to other similar sounding types, I'd like to see what everyone else thinks. Just such a varied set of tunes...not sure where to start.
