Highlander Soundtrack (Unreleased by Richard Jacques)

2009 · Playstation 3, Windows, Xbox 360

Big orchestral swells crashing into electric guitar. The Highlander game from 2009 got an unreleased Richard Jacques score, and honestly it goes way harder than a middling action game deserved. "There Can Be Only One" opens with exactly the kind of bombastic energy you'd expect from the franchise.

"Temple At Dawn" shifts into something more Eastern and atmospheric, while "Advance of the Mechs" throws in these pounding industrial rhythms for the future sections. The soundtrack time-hops just like the game, from Scottish highlands to feudal Japan to a sci-fi future.

Each era gets its own flavor. "Highlands Lament" is genuinely moving for a game most people forgot existed. PS3/360-era production with a film score ambition. If you want proof that composers sometimes outperform the games they score for, start here.
