Jared Emerson-Johnson appreciation thread
I always liked the jazzy music in season 1 and 2 - but I just love season 3's music! Anyone else think the music of season 3 is pant-spoilingly awesome?

Wasn't that him in the 205 trailer as well? Or is that someone else?
Music is important in videogames. Luckily, Telltale and Jared know that
And as if he wasn't awesome enough for his music, he had to go and be awesome for his voice as well.
One thing I'd love to see someday is more video of the recording sessions, particularly with him. I dunno why, I just love getting to see these familiar voices coming from the original, yet unfamiliar, source.
Now, I have a lot of favorite songs, (The Office, Ted E. Bear's, World of Max, the Tiny Tiki song, The sewer in season 2, and more.) But one of my favorite songs is still 'Attack the Dog", you know, the finale of Season one's Culture Shock. I actually just stopped playing for a few minutes just to listen the the game music, the 1st time I played it. Very well done.
And Season 3's music is some of the best yet. I really liked the 'Little Artic Circle' song in 302, it really captured the sound of the early 1900s. Keep up the great work.
However, I'm music dumb. Unless there are lyrics to listen to or it's the center of attention, I don't notice that there is music playing when it's good. I only notice music if it's so bad you have to turn it off or something.
Which isn't the case at all in the Sam and Max games.
I like his singing, too.
I think that the flute/trumpet duet in 4:59 and the sax section in Radical! are two of my favorite musical moments ever.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I have HAD IT with this motherf'in appreciation threads on this motherf'in FORUM!
That said, this season does indeed have great music.
I can't wait for the season 3 soundtrack!
Here's the Hermann piece for you to compare:

He did do the singing as Superball(s) though.
Oh yeah. Well, uh, ignore my last post then.
Took you long enough to find it!
We're still hoping for that Devil's Playhouse Official Soundtrack. Some day....
I still love what he did with the original theme song... a jazzy take on Hit the Road... I may or may not loop that theme on my iPod >.>
We love your work, Jared, may you always grace our ears with your awesome score
