Everytime I listen to it I feel proud of something. Don't know what to be proud of but still be proud of something.

From the same time you can get a few nifty other things.

They probably went and hired some really good composer to write it. Just like the Russians, neh? [Smile]

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :

Actually a man by the name of Tekosky oh umm... I can't spell it, a russian name. But yeah a russian wrote it after wwii.

I feel rather stupid. How exactly do you download it? I go to the page, then what?

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

Never mind the inferior site linked to by that HoI-playing noob. Here is a site with lots of good music! I recommend 'Gettysburg' in the US/UK section when you're done with the Soviet National Anthem.

Posted by ProverbialSunrise (Member # 7771) on :

Are there any other songs you would recommend from that site?

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

"Katiusha", from the USSR, and "Lili Marlene" (not the Wehrmacht version) from the German. I also like "Song of the Plains", "Kossack's Song" and the "Red October Hymn" from the USSR. For some reason, most of the good ones seem to be Russian.

Every time I hear it it reminds me of Red October. The movie, that is. [Wink]

Posted by Susie Derkins (Member # 7718) on :

That's a cool site, KoM!

I discovered that one of the songs in our Hymn Book, called Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken is not only a lovely Haydn tune, but also the German National Anthem! Now every time we sing it in church, I have to squelch the desire to sing "Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue, Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang!"

tee hee hee

Posted by ProverbialSunrise (Member # 7771) on :

I played Glorious Things of thee are Spoken on Trumpet last year. It was a hard piece.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

I thought Tchaikovsky wrote the USSR National Anthem.

Either way, it IS a very powerful piece of music, I love it.

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :

Yes thats who wrote it but I couldn't remember how to spell his name.

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :

And I'm not a noob.

I am an proffesional gamer. *smug*

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :

oh and thanks for the link.

Posted by Susie Derkins (Member # 7718) on :

Edit: Wow, was that the wrong thread or what?

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Sorry, man...IMO you are a nOOb, at least here.

That is just my opinion though.

I know. I discovered that song my freshmen year. It really does make you want to be courageuos and die for the motherland or fatherland or androgynoussexland or whatever.

You need to hear Dmitri Hvorostovsky sing Katyusha. It's so cool

Wow. I had no idea there was such a thing. You play games for a living?

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :

I wish, though there is a career called "Beta testing" though you aren't payed for it.

I AM NOT A NOOB!

And yes I want to be a game developer/designer.

Posted by Beanny (Member # 7109) on :

From some reason, I can't find the link on the page that actually allows me to hear it. [Blushing]

Can I have some technical support?

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

That's an awesome music link! Thanks! I wish I could find a page with all the lyrics to the Russian songs in the English alphabet, but still in Russian. I've totally forgotten how to read Cyrillic.

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

Anyone who prefers HoI to Vicky is by definition a noob. As for game development, have you made a Tetris clone yet? Until you do, you can't even aspire to the title of wannabe.

Incidentally, are you a member of this site? Very useful indeed.

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :

How am I supposed ot have a preference? Hoi2 is the ONLY game by paradox I own. I'm certain that they are good games I'll become obsessed with them when I get to it.

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

So, you own one game and yet you consider yourself a non-noob? Something is wrong with your logic there, young padawan.

okay finally the link worked I'll register once I have free time today, recently justplayed EU2 it was so and so never had a game that was both HARDER and EASIER then Hoi2. as for Vicky asap. As for only owning *one* game I own about 50-60 games with 12~ installed at any one time, recently I've been more tuned to FPS since with my comp time compresse a little I can do alot more in less time. o I have to wait for my sister to move back to her apartment then I'm free.
