LEGO Universe Soundtrack: Valley Of The Kings [Original]
Originally composed by Terry Devine-King for Editor's Series - Middle East 2 1180. "Low drone with light percussion & atmospheric Arabic flute."
On March 10, 2010, I received an invitation to participate in the beta testing of LEGO Universe. Now, ten years later, I am paying tribute to that universe by uploading songs from its beta placeholder soundtrack and promotional materials. Most of these songs are sourced from the Audio Network Limited. While I can't upload everything, I will be uploading as much as I was able to find.
Hey, wait a minute... this isn't how the song sounded in beta testing! That's correct. This is the original version of the song, complete with a flute melody. Since the flute is evocative of Arabian desert music, that's probably why they didn't use this version in the Japan-inspired environment of Forbidden Valley.
