Falling Thunder - Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai Soundtrack

"The days of the bow and sword are over. But courage is eternal."

-Samurai hero

[@dannyp9210]

Good lord, I miss Jeff Van Dyck. His music was perfect for Total War.

[@Nephastion22]

Without a doubt.

[@looker999997]

This makes me think of snipers picking off garrison levies while Parrott guns punch holes in the walls and naval artillery turns half the fort into a lunar landscape.

[@wenhao9543]

Snipers? Maybe they are called sharp shooters?

[@wojszach4443]

add to that oversized fleet on the shore

[@Ligierthegreensun]

@@wenhao9543 The term "sniper" was well in usage by the time of the Boshin war. The units are called sharpshooters but the term sniper is used interchangeably.

The best way I could describe this music is the feeling of "the calm before the storm, but you *know* there's a storm coming, you don't just know it, you can feel it."

[@Raffney]

This 👍

[@theamorphousflatsch2699]

This song is so powerfull, it gives you those "before the storm" vibes, when the defenders are lying at the ready, waiting for the enemy forces to charge their frontlines.

[@TheThedisliker]

I think the song symbolises the industrial revolution in japan. The feel of sudden change.

[@pelinalwhitestrake5055]

This got me on edge while 3 Nagaoka stacks were encircling my Satsuma castle

[@ervanaugusto791]

Without artilleries, enemies are harmless if you keep your troops at the very inner castle

[@pelinalwhitestrake5055]

@@ervanaugusto791 true. I had two units of line infantry each, mostly imperial guard, form a v to create kill zones when the nagaoka attempted to scale the walls.

[@tiffles3890]

The bit from 3:30 to 3:42, right before it picks up, is just so maddeningly good. You feel as if something momentous and poignant, perhaps event tragic, is about to happen.

[@malinsky6434]

When this music plays while moving my units, i first let them walk, and then start making them run when it comes to this part 3:40 for extra dramatic effect, gives me the chills !

[@wojszach4443]

Sounds like a battle that changes fate.

[@Enfield82]

Best track for unit deployment.

[@MuradBeybalaev]

The microtonal emulation effort on the plucked part is well-appreciated, Jeff. Especially the two stray detuned notes found between 2:20 and 3:20. Honestly became the pinnacle of my listening experience for this piece over repeated enjoyment.

[@lorenzdaks2213]

SWEEP DEM FRUM DA FIERD

[@PikeEnthusiast]

3:42 is when it just hits. So powerful

[@MuradBeybalaev]

It's worthless without the buildup. Come on, man. No point to timecode it. Don't be rushing art when its entire purpose is to tease you into a climax.

[@Supertuottaja]

Every time I hear this while playing Fots, I wait to the end of the song before I order my troops to attack the enemy.

[@Sirxchrish]

WE WILL FALL UPON THEM LIKE WAVES UPON ROCKS

[@Its_shiki_time4876]

This definitely feels like the movement on the field before a clash

[@vikashmbhakta1]

3:42, man.
