Intro music?

We are looking for generic war-film music with a Soviet twist. You don't hear 'Rule Britannia' nor 'Yankee Doodle' when you play as the Allies, so we need to follow this example for the Soviets.

I like when you first put on the game you hear the "tat tat tat" of a mg

Why not the intro music to Red Alert 3?

c&c red alert 3 intro music

For once, I agree with him

I must agree too, it has a feel like the soviet union is going to war

I vote too.
A little catchy, a little genetic, a little soviet union going to
war. Now there's just the issue of copyrights ;)

That RA3 song isn't a WWII era song - it was made specifically for RA3. Half of it is gibberish or doesn't make sense.

That doesnt matter. The point of the intro music is the feel (and neutrality apparently). This is both neutral and has that "Russian" feeling. Only problem is copyrights

No no, that Soviet March song from RA3 is not going into this Mod... its a good song, but it was made for a game that was exaggerated to the extreme. As TheBomb says... half of the lyrics are absolute gibberish... that's not going to please our Russian speaking friends  :P

If anything (and there's no fear of copyright breaching), we'll go for a wartime or war themed Soviet song.

ASCAP will not care because it's COMMUNIST!!!!!! hehe no there probably aren't any copy rights though

If it has to be a march what about this one?

Farewell of Slavianka

Wish I was fluent in Russian. Or, at the same time, thank god
I am not... lol.

  I bet my brain would start hurting from the RA3 one :)

Oh, I like that last one, don't understand it, but sounds
nice. What's TheBomb's verdict? :)

All Soviet WWII songs are great. In creating this post my goal was to persuade the mod dev team not to use just any random WWII song and slap it onto the main menu. This seems to be the trend with people who aren't familiar with Soviet era music but are interested in its history. As an example, imagine if someone made an Iraq war mod and slapped on the mission impossible theme song (fitting name though heh..) The song must FIT and jive with the game.

Is there any Soviet War music not involving a choir?

Choirs are the Soul of soviet music but if you dont like them i have this one.

Soviet Assault Waltz - Ola Strandh

Good God I love that! but not very warish

If we're going to go with choir music, we can go with songs that aren't as well known - so they'd be original.

"There March the Soldiers"
There march the soldiers

Youtube quality is not that great, I do have the high quality version of this song though.

I feal Russian ;D great song and if they don't add it I will add it to my own "Russian Playlist"
yes I got my own music for the English I got "Anarchy in the UK ;D" and some other good stuff that makes you proud to be fighting as that country   

I would prefer to go with non-Choir music. Something that feels a little bit more like Company of Heroes.

This orchestral version of Fields my Fields is nice, no choir but still Russian enough(although, it is a Cossack song)

Poliushko Polie

Much more like it! Any more orchestral music of a similar feel?

Has the music been decided for the mod yet? It seems like there isn't much time to decide.

lol @ this one
John Barry - From Russia With Love (Instrumental Version)

from russia with love

Music has been a very low priority, but it takes hardly any time at all to implement once we have chosen.

Here is nice music video xDDD

Dancing russian soldiers xD

Should have that happening in the background for the main menu  ;D

Meh, not Russian enough

Yeah, I have the Band of Brothers boxset, it's typical glorified crap, and the music is the same... sad, heroic, something they wouldn't play if they were making a film about the Soviets.

Speaking of crap, theres always the Enemy at the Gates opening music, but its still not Russian enough imo, even though apparently its adapted from a Ukrainian lullaby...

Enemy at the Gates music

I think this works well

March "The Red Army's Entry to Budapest" S.Tchernetsky

That could work but imo, its a bit to bright. I always imagined something deeper and lower.

USSR Anthem

Why hasn't anyone posted this? Haha!

Wow, he has a good point, why hasnt that been posted.

I think burro wanted something without a choir though, so idk

Well if it is without choris, what about the instrumental version of Katyusha

Katyusha(Катюша)-instrumental version

Ryousan, you have my vote.

Either that or a manlier version of the USSR theme.  The women in the choir make it too friendly sounding.  A Russian hug as apposed to a Soviet smash.

To GI John 412. Thanks man!!

I think there very few songs thata re as meaning as Katyusha or  Sacred War.

If it is not a problem a song with lyrics (but not a chorus) I suggest this one...

Муслим Магомаев: Журавли

katyusha had my vote, great song!

Marsh of Soviet Guards BM-13 regiments:

Soviet/USSR Anthem Instrumental

No choir, and no copyright issues I am aware of...

The instrumental USSR anthem would be excellent for credits or menu music and I recommend that it is implemented in this way.  However, I do not think that it would be appropriate for battle music in game.

how about that as a "VICTORY" song

Agreed. I mean, it worked for Call of Duty 4 didn't it?

Haha, yes the victory.

so...can anyone tell me what music was actually picked for the menu??  it sounds like more than one song, but if not then that effect could be intentional... in particular i'm looking for the section that sounds like the Red Army Choire, deep and emotional sounding as opposed to fast and upbeat...every time i boot up EF and i hear that song start, i sit there and listen to it before i play lol  ;D
Anyone know? ???

Yeah kalkilina makes a great in game battle music fast paced. And Katyusha makes great victory music.

I love the song "Katyusha" and how about "Farewell of Slavianka" thats good too.
