This is my love letter to Andreas Waldetoft and the incredible team who composed the Hoi4 sound track. Every song, start to finish is an absolute joy to listen to. All of them create a specific picture in my head of what was intended behind their creation. The Allies theme is simply incredible and, though I may sound silly, fills me with a sense of what an Allied soldier's emotions and sense of duty was. Its by far my favourite piece, harkening back to those old war films like 'A Bridge Too Far' and 'The Longest Day'. Other pieces like 'A Song for the Children' and the marvellous 'The War's End' I rate pretty highly too as they make me sympathise with the struggle of the civilian and the yearning for liberation and end to the war. The soundtrack is 10/10 in my opinion and good enough to play even when I'm not playing Hoi4. Simply marvellous!

[@barrycabbageM34]

Honestly pretty neat idea, I've listened to it so much already it really is kinda just... soothing. the soundtrack for Hoi will never get old for me and Mr Waldetoft did a fantastic job, I'd personally put the Hoi4 soundtrack up there with the greats like Halo or Project Wingman and even now I feel a sense of nostalgia every time I hear Morning of D-day or A song for the Children of ww2, just incredibly recognisable that have been playing for some of my favourite moments spent playing games, hopefully, he can see how much love is being thrown around in the comments for his work. 10/10 soundtrack. Also, I love the dev dog so much... He's bought me so much pain recently and yet is always a pleasure to see the happy little good boy.

LoFi means Low Fidelity, or imperfections (sometimes intentional) in the audio. It's not necessarily a genre of music. So if there's any imperfections or oddities in this video compared to the OST, then it'd be safe to categorize it as LoFi... ...unless the OST itself already has them, making the OST LoFi already... That all being said, IMO would have been better had this been lofi hip hop remixes of the OST instead of just the base OST.
