    Default Episode III Music: Opening V Castor

    I happened across some of the Episode III songs the other day, and listening to them really brought back some memories. For discussion then, which song do you prefer? The opening music with it's opera/techno/ hybrid, or the even faster music when you fight Castor/Pollux at the end? Post your reasons!

    The Pollux theme (I may be wrong, but I think it is called "IDOLA" the Cyber) is the best theme in the entire game. I have it on my mp3 and i am listening to it right now sorta. I like it cuz it "feels" faster, but in fact it is actually slower than the opening theme (you need a good sense of timing and know music really well to know all this). it starts out as 3/4, then moves to 4/4, then drops back to 3/4. It all moves at about 90 to 120 beats per minute, which is slow cuz the opening them is 135 to 150 beats per minute and is a straight 4/4

    When listening to all the themes for this game, i like the tower of caelum theme the best. i dunno why, its got that mystic feel to it that give it the "eerie" feel.

    Caelum is also a great one. By the way, has anyone chanced to look up the latin translation of Caelum...?

    If not, give it a search -- (and no, don't settle for the "chisel" definition :P )

    I gave it a Google, I learned something new

    "Cælum is a Latin word meaning both "sky, heaven" and "tool with a sharp beveled point, used in engraving or carving stone"
