David's music has always spoken to me in ways that no other music can. I can't

stop thinking. "Why doesn't he get into Videogame Soundtracks?" His music is so

beautiful and adventurous that I want to hear it in the next hit Role Playing

Game, so far the only composer I can say I truly like in Video Games is Nobuo

Uematsu, composer of many of the Final Fnatasy Series. I'm not sure if David

ever reads these, But Mr. Arkenstone, if you do read this, consider writing

music for video games and movies.

He has, he's done a couple songs for World of Warcraft, do a search for "Taverns

of Azeroth". Though I agree, he should do more!

Are you aware of David's "World of Warcraft: Taverns of Azeroth" album

or his "Music Inspired by Middle Earth" album?

Here's another potential market for gaming music. "The Secret of

Monkey Island: Special Edition" will soon be available as a download

for Windows and X-Box Live. "Tales of Monkey Island", a new game

licensed  from LucasArts by Telltale Gams, will be available as a

Windows and Wii download. These game revive a franchise 20 years in

the making. As a Mac user, I am glad I have a Wii and X-Box 360. ;)

David worked on the music for Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny (and Lands of

Lore III, I believe). Both were Windows / PC games that came out in the late

1990s. Guardians of Destiny was actually the first game I ever bought for my

first PC. Sort of a first-person RPG. Lots of fond memories and memorable tunes.

I dug it out recently and was pleased that it worked under Windows Vista using

Windows 95 compatibility mode. :D
