Beyond the Indus: Full Soundtrack

Here is my custom full soundtrack for the Beyond the Indus Expansion pack. I wrote and composed these songs myself using various instruments: my keyboard, drumpad, and for most tracks I used the SoundCanvas - the same sampler Stephen Rippy used for composing the original AoERoR music.

Tracks:

1. Beyond the Indus (Opening theme)
2. River Valley
3. Tribes
4. Trade
5. Indian Spices
6. Warpath
7. Conquests in the East
8. Scythian Queen
9. Veni, Vidi, Vedic
10. Urban Turban
11. Eastern Sun
12. Sands of Time

They are all in HQ .mp3 format and should play fine in any sort of media player. Also included are a custom CD front and back cover.

To use these in the background while playing AoE/RoR, you need to use Chab's Binary Patcher, and apply LucTieuPhung's MP3 patch to the .exe:

This is really a beautiful soundtrack, like really beautiful. Do you know anything about when the expansion will be released? I'm dying to play more quality campaigns...

Thank you, glad you like it! It's probably gonna take quite a while for the BTI expansion to be finished (if ever). Progress is... tediously slow... or rather things have come to sort of a halt - which is the main reason I decided to release my soundtrack in advance. Don't hold your horses on the expansion coming any time soon.

Sounds like the AOE and ROR soundtracks' long lost brother!

High-quality, extremely authentic, and plenty of percussion, I could listen to this for hours.

Additional Comments:
The inclusion of CD front and back cover art is a nice touch.
My only complaint is that binary patching is required to get it in-game, but there's also other workarounds, and there's a nice set of instructions here regardless.

There is a movie from about 5 years ago called Mohenjo Daro. It is a drama that uses the theme of the Indus Valley civilization. Here is the Soundtrack for it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmyyrzJIfx0&ab_channel=T-Series

I liked the movie alot. One of the decisions that the designers had to make was whether to use the Dravidian language or Hindi, and they chose the latter. It's a common idea among Hindus that the Indus Valley civilization was Aryan (and thus related to Hindi), whereas scholars tend to take the view that it was Dravidian. In my view after reviewing different information, I think the scholars' view is more likely correct. The Dravidian Brahui clan still lives in Pakistan where the Indus Valley Civilization was mostly based.
