New startup music for CMBO

[pavlov]

Replacement startup music for CMBO. Soundbites from famous WWII radio broadcasts played over the theme music from Band of Brothers.

Look for
Radio Free CMBO by pavlov at the usual place. (http://www.cmmods.com/)

(I just replaced it with a longer version, btw)

For those who are interested, this is a list of the radio snippets in the order they occur:

1) The queen of the Netherlands sadly announcing to her people that the german Wehrmacht has just crossed the border.

2) Winston Churchill's famous "their finest hour" speech.

3) Monty (what a pompus ass eh :rolleyes: ) addressing allied troops just prior to D-Day.

4) BBC announcing the Normandy landings.

5) Ike addresses Western Europe immediately after the landings.

6) The first Americans in Paris record the reactions of the Parisians.

7) FDR fireside chat soon after the Battle of the Bulge.

8) BBC announces the American bridgehead across the Rhine.

9) A BBC reporter broadcasts from the recently captured studio of Radio Hamburg. The same microphone was previously used by William Joyce, AKA Lord Haw Haw, a British citizen who broadcast Nazi propaganda in english throughout the war. Joyce was later captured, tried for treason, and executed.

10) BBC reporter describes the surrender of masses of Wehrmacht in a German village (no doubt, deperately trying to escape the Red Army).

Pavlov,

This is one of the most moving pieces I have ever heard. I get a lump in my throat just listening to it. You have put together a very powerful piece and anyone that hasn't heard it is missing out on something tremendous.

Thank you for doing this.

Ace

I really am enjoying your sound collage. I did alter it a bit. Added a slight 'verb to the VO, merged to center the channels and then panned them hard. Sounds pretty good, I think, nothing too fancy but brings it together a bit.
I could send you a copy if you'd like.
