Well, I forgot the name of the Russian composer who did "Defeat Fear," other than the fact that he worked with Aria - (If you look them up on the net, the translated spelling is sometimes written as "Arya" or other alternate spellings), although he introduced himself a long time ago in this forum, you could look way back at old posts.

As for my own tracks, I did those all by myself with a real guitar (Custom-modded Gibson Explorer) and my computer, and in fact I've been working on re-making them in bits and pieces as those versions in the game are quite old.

I have a few WIP tracks in various stages of being (re-)completed, if you want to grab a few partly re-made tracks you can get a few here:

http://www.destructavator.com/92dl/st/mp3U/David02_new.mp3
http://www.destructavator.com/92dl/st/mp3U/David04_new.mp3
http://www.destructavator.com/92dl/st/mp3U/David05_new.mp3

Tracks 1 and 3 I haven't started re-making yet.

I don't recommend using Windows Media Player to open these, as it will probably get confused when it jumps out to the net to attempt to identify the tracks, will get confused when they aren't in any official database, and then end up re-naming the tracks and their other metadata with some random garbage that has nothing to do with me or my music.

They (the tracks) don't really have official names, although I was thinking of giving them names at some point.

Side note:  Aria is pretty good IMO, I actually managed to acquire an official music CD, one of their more recent albums - not an easy task as I live in the United States of America - although I don't know what they are singing about in any of the songs as I don't speak Russian.

That is awesome. I have an electric guitar myself, but without preamp for metal... :(

and my computer

To be honest, i don't like the club music and anything associated with it (i don't know how to call the music genre from this game)... Maybe in the later versions could be an alternative option for rockers and metallists and the original music for others. I don't like downloading!

I do speak russian a bit, but i like their music a lot. It is rock music, isn't it?

To be correct, there are two Aria groups, first one is old, before 2001 year, and second is current band. There are different vocalists in that bands.

Looks like the CD I have must be one of the more recent albums, from the newer group then.

Nearly all the text on the CD and cover artwork is in Russian, so don't ask me what it means, but this is what it looks like.

As I said, because I'm in the USA this was hard to get (guitar not included).

In which album and what song exactly is the defeatfear anyways?

Yeah, I guessed - from the cover artwork picture - that the title would translate to that or something close to it.  I've also wondered what the individual track names would translate to, but I can't just google the titles because my American keyboard won't type those Russian letters.

In which album and what song exactly is the defeatfear anyways?

I don't know, except I know it isn't on this particular CD, it would be from a different album.

Side Note:  I actually listen to quite a bit of rock/metal from other nations, I have CDs and stuff from Germany, Russia, Japan, Sweden, and a few other places, not to mention a huge collection of music videos on my hard drive.  I don't care what language the lyrics are in, as long as the song sounds good.  Heck, half the German words I know come from German lyrics to songs.

I have to say I'm disappointed by most of the American rubbish music that has come out in recent times, the USA-based record labels have made some serious mistakes in the last ten years.  Fortunately, many non-American labels and bands haven't made the same mistakes but have gone in better directions, which is part of why I get music from other parts of the world.

I found the (original album release) "Defeat Fear" track, it can be found translated in several ways on the net, from "Stand, overcome your fear" to "Rise, conquer your fear" etc.  Its from a 1986 album:

If you're looking for a higher-quality version (before size reduction for the game) of the contributed version of the track, you can download it from here, which also lists the composer's name:

Edit: Whoops!  Sorry for the double-post, my last post - now on the first page - has the album the song is from.

Maybe an implemented music player in game would be better for everyone? Think about it: everyone could play their own tracks, just like in unreal tournament series... But i like the original music, though... So this is just an idea...
