What comes to mind when someone discusses lost music? Rare concert recordings? Session recordings of never released albums? Bootlegs? Out-of-print and limited-run editions? Those are what most consider. The promotional disc packaged with a non-music product is often neglected, likely due to these recordings often being forgettable. Not this one!
How did one get this promo CD back in the day? You needed to pre-order an expansion for Asheron's Call 2, which required the base game to play, and you needed to pre-order from select Best Buys while supplies lasted. Most didn't seem to care about Asheron's Call 2 and those who would have cared about the CD as well is an infetismal subset.
Geoff Scott captures the essence of the Aun Tumerok, Lugians, Shadows, and more in this masterpiece. Definitely listen, but given Warner Bros is sitting on this with the other products of Asheron's Call IP, you're highly unlikely to find the original any time soon.
