Geoff Knorr again demonstrating what an absolute badass he is

[@alexalckminzamboni]

Geoff Knorr once more! So we know this is going to be good!

[@Pan_Iwo]

The way it unfolds really reminds me of civ 4 where tracks moved slowly from simple sounds to adding complicated ones, it was almost like imitating human progression in music. I can sense a similar spirit here and it makes me happy.

[@noaxhmr]

Something i love about this soundtrack is how complex it sounds in the antiquity era. In civ6's ancient era almost every song sounds so simple and sometimes even boring, because they had to follow this "theme" of making the songs more complex as the game progressed. But here, you dont have to wait for the next era to listen to some bangers. After this i really want to see what y'all pulled off for the modern era soundtrack

[@neistrong614]

Civ 7 ost overall really reminds me of civ 4, which is good, because melodies are simple yet charismatic and catchy

[@ereny9465]

You get %15 extra productivity towards your daily errands while listening to this.

[@DeSoLaToR22]

Music in Civ is one of the things i look most forward to the release! i'll be listening to these so much before playing

[@hlibushok]

Hell yeah, the soundtrack is so back! And the best thing is that the Age system allows every culture's theme to truly shine since it doesn't have to build up through the eras. E.g. in Civ6 Egypt's ancient theme was quite boring with just one flute playing while the medieval theme didn't feel as Egyptian anymore because of the medieval instruments used. Now we can get a vibrant composition that also sounds distinctly Ancient Egyptian.

[@HamThePharoah]

@@hlibushok Flute complaints aside, Egypt is a culture that continues to exist to the present day, and the Civ 6 track inspiration is an instantly recognizable piece of music to pretty much every modern Egyptian and embodies the focus of Egyptian culture on cyclicality and agriculture really well. Even for this track on Civ 7, there are recognizable modern Egyptian dance themes all over the place juxtaposed with ancient Egyptian instruments.

[@hlibushok]

@@HamThePharoah Yes, but in Civ6 Ancient Egyptian music couldn't truly shine because of the formula they used for the era-specific themes: The Ancient theme lacked vibrancy because Civ6 tended to only use one or two instruments for ancient era music, while the Medieval version of the theme lacked authenticity because Civ6 always used the later medieval instruments including the European hurdy-gurdy for these themes.

[@itsmeebz]

YESSSS THE CIV THEMES HAVE ARRIVED 😭♥️. For me the civ covers are some of the most significant parts of the game honestly.

[@carpetcrawler79]

I'm blasting this full volume on my STEREO

[@arturofernandez304]

I was listening to it at random and I recognized the "Allah Musau" song from the Nubian theme in Civ VI That was one of my favourites ❤

[@thibistharkuk2929]

What parts reminds you of Allah Musau ?

[@arturofernandez304]

From 1:00 onwards, and when the drums enter It's not at the same speed as in Civ VI, just seem familiar to me. Maybe because of the geographical and cultural similarities between Egypt and Nubia ​@@thibistharkuk2929

[@SirZorgulon]

This is so good. I also love the art, very evocative of those Nile sailing routes

[@AndresStein]

This is absolutely gorgeous.

[@karlgrylls2406]

Super cool soundtracks all of them! Can't wait to hear Persia

[@kaykysoares9152]

@@karlgrylls2406 What did you think? I much prefer the Persian theme from Civ VII than Civ VI. The second part of the song is so cool, I feel like I'm in a palace having dinner with Xerxes.

[@kaykysoares9152]

Caramba Civ VII, isso é estonteante! A melhor trilha sonora até agora. Uau, uau e simplesmente uau!

[@theluigiguy]

LET'S GOOOOO IT'S MUSIC TIME

[@tangsolaris9533]

Good track. By the way, the channel has listed a playlist entitled “The Music of Civilization VII” but it contains music from Civ 4 and Civ 6. Hope this gets fixed.

[@dixTheory]

@@tangsolaris9533 It's fixed now, I think!

[@Thatguyy100]

The music really transports me to the ancient capital at Memphis in the midsts of a religious festival on a hot summer day. Civ never dissapoints when it comes to music.

[@niezwyklesmutnyczowiek2507]

Geoff Knorr Great Musician when?

[@herrmajestat]

I hope we get more original melodies. Knorr is so good at it!

[@singularityraptor4022]

Love the image, this perspective really immerses us to the magnificence of the Pyramids.

[@georgep.burdell7237]

I see there's already a playlist of these. Going to put on loop tonight. ❤❤

[@hamburgerlord7849]

Amazing, just amazing. I'm gonna have this on loop for the next 7 years

So good !!

[@Mini_Knight17]

so... is it based off actual regional folk songs like in civ6?

[@beefusdoesstuff5194]

That's what I'm wondering. Some songs seem to be, but nobody will specify. The Mauryan song is made up of Jain, Buddhist, and Hindu chants, but that's all I know.

[@Inaki199595]

Started slow, ended like a banger. Not gonna buy it on release, but I'll eventually purchase the game (Just do not use Denuvo, please) and enjoy the music like a child.

[@okayrookie]

Can't wait until one of the civ Tubers make a ranking list of civ 7 themes.

[@SK-ki3fq]

Please let the Indian civilization soundtrack be as good as CIV 6. 🙏🏼

Day 59 of asking for Bohemia and Czechoslovakia civs in Civilization 7

[@remousssss]

Would be great 🙌

[@crabieralloy51]

Would love to see Bohemia in the exploration age! I actually think it fits so much

[@hlibushok]

Bohemia would be cool but what the hell would Czechoslovakia's uniques be?

[@SebiSuper9mil]

@@hlibushok Unit: Czechoslovak Legion Civ ability: Skoda Works, gives industry/military bonuses Building/improvement: idk yet, but something could be thought of, like the Sudetenland Forts

[@hlibushok]

​@@SebiSuper9mil 1. Sure. 2. Eh, I don't think there is much uniqueness about having a national automobile industry. 3. Seems like a weird choice since the Sudetenland fortifications didn't help them much, did they? 4. You forgot that each Civ in VI must also have a unique civilian unit and an associated wonder as well as a set of unique civics. Let's be real here, Czechoslovakia is not historically relevant enough to warrant representation in the Civ series. Bohemia, on the other hand, would make for an excellent civ - a powerful kingdom that played a pivotal role in European history. Considering we already had Poland and Hungary before, Bohemia is well within reach.

This is much better than the Rome theme. Still not a fan of the heavy midi-like quality, but melodically this is so much better.

[@vanman266]

Egypt led by Abraham Lincoln! Civ 6 leaders leading the wrong Civs is a sick joke.

[@Gojoseon]

Your comment is a sick joke

Really not a fan of the art they sometimes use as backgrounds in Civ7, it is so... simplistic. Would it be too much to ask to change that?
