2009 | Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Greg Edmonson)

**FunnyML** · 10-21-2009, 06:42 PM

EDIT

My last try to rip the music from the game kinda broke my back.
I tried to rip every single cue from the game possible, compared
it to the tracks on the OST and so on. I simply lost track.

I decided to "slightly expand" the official soundtrack on my second
attempt instead - of course all in lossless glory - no analog line-in-
recording.! I am especially focusing on the action cues, that didn't
make it to the CD and breaking up the OST tracks and sort them
in chronological order.

The following chapters are already done:

Cool.

Keep it up, thanks!

**joypad** · 10-22-2009, 10:07 AM

as you manually recorded this from the source is it preserved in lossless or in mp3?
i only mention this as i've read the game audio is in pcm lossless 7.1

Well, check it

Nate's Theme and Cliffhanger comes from the OST, so those tracks are lossy. For the rest, as far as I heard, the lossless quality gets lost with an analog recording, but I don't know for sure. I kept the tracks in APE format to prevent the frequencies being cut off.

By the way, there definitely is a lossy track on the disc played on the PS3 menu while the game is selected, which has a cutoff line at 16000Hz.

ok thanks. i appreciate uncharted 2 wont ever get a proper lossless release. as for it not having the dynamic quality and frequencies being cut off, that is what i meant about preserving the recording.

just 1 question, why have you kept the lossy tracks from the ost and not recorded those tracks manually. surely it would be better quality than the official release?

The quality of my analog recording of "Nate's Theme 2.0" is similar to the iTunes release. My rip features a constant noise, I don't want to denoise the tracks since the sound gets very "metallic". So in fact, the iTunes release is slightly better in my opinion. If you are looking for a true lossless release, I guess we have to wait for the day, where PS3 rips can be easily done like a PC gamerip. Maybe tthe other guy (I think it was hughkeanu) will have a better version ready soon.

And why I used the iTunes cue from the Cliffhanger sequence is obvious, I guess. It cannot be extracted without the speech and sfx layer.

**joypad** · 10-22-2009, 10:35 AM

thanks for explaining.

**Ruffneck** · 10-22-2009, 11:54 AM

Mmmm...

**PatriotDissent** · 10-25-2009, 03:30 PM

Long time lurker, first time poster. Just want to say thanks. Didn't think I'd see an expanded version of Greg's score, but at the same time, I guess it was inevitable. Very nice!

**brandonh83** · 10-25-2009, 04:56 PM

Ohhh god yes thank you so much for this, this is my soundtrack of the year. Including film!

I desire, so much, the remix of the "Among Thieves" theme that plays... well I don't remember how many times but I know it plays during the gunfight when you go through that "mask store" near the beginning of the first city chapter right after Borneo.

I won't include the cutscene cues though, which can't be isolated and are not on the OST. Those cues are marked grey.

2009 | Greg Edmonson, Clint Bajakian

01 - Nate's Theme 2.0 (1:47)

CHAPTER 01 - A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
02 - Cliffhanger (1:37) [Cutscene]
03 - A Rock And A Hard Place - Part 1 (2:14)
04 - The Lost Fleet (3:06) [Cutscene]
05 - A Rock And A Hard Place - Part 2 (1:26)
06 - Nate & Chloe (1:04) [Cutscene]
07 - A Rock And A Hard Place - Part 3 (3:04)
08 - Drake Finds The Dagger (:50) [Cutscene]
[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

CHAPTER 02 - BREAKING AND ENTERING
09 - 4 Months Earlier (:54) [Cutscene]
10 - Breaking And Entering - Part 1 (9:50)

to be continued...

notes:
Track 02 has an extended ending, which is used in the first chapter of the game. In that cutscene, a shorter version has been used. I decided to place that cue in the cutscene.
Track 07 misses a short cue, which occurred once during playing but on all re-plays I never heard that cue again. Since it has some major errors in it, I didn't include it in here. I will keep that cue in mind and see, if I can update the track later on.

Hi you have possibility for flac?????

Thanks

Hm, that's the Urban Warfare level, then. There are two cues there, which are played. On some occasions it's the "Brutal Combo Mambo" theme (I think there are five different versions of this) and sometimes, the "Helicopter and Tank" cue. Haven't heard the "Among Thieves Theme" there, though.

No, I'll stick to APE. It's lossless too and the files are smaller than on the highest compression level of FLAC.

Sorry guys for the long wait. But it's almost impossible to record all the stuff. Especially the action cues are complicated.

**brandonh83** · 10-26-2009, 11:50 AM

Nah it's fine, I really appreciate it, I hope this soundtrack doesn't fall off the radar because it's IMO one of the best game soundtracks ever.

There are roughly 12 tracks played on the main menu. Most of them are available on the soundtrack, I will upload 4 tracks, I couldn't find on the OST at the first listen and one, which is different from the OST version. If you recognize one of the unreleased tracks, and they are on the OST, please tell me.

Edmonson composed more than 120 minutes... If you are missing a specific cue, it's a lot easier to upload this one than to do this chronologically.

**FunnyML** · 10-27-2009, 09:43 AM

added: music from chapter 11.

**frafak** · 10-27-2009, 08:04 PM

Wow.... thank you very much !

**Ranged Weapon** · 10-28-2009, 03:03 AM

Thanks for posting these FunnyML

I'm a little confused how to file/sort these, so i'll wait until you're done.

Sure. But there won't be a complete score, only expanded.
