You can now download a 1:51 long .mp3 of Oblivion's theme music.
Enjoy!
Oh.. I like..
It sorta reminded me of a morrowind song, but much more lively. Awesome

definatly his best composition so far. more epic stuff and definatly more evolved than his earlier works! cant wait to hear more of his works fpr oblivion.
Hmm alright I've listened to it several times, it is a very well rounded song. I like it more than morrowinds, yet it reminds me at times of pirates of the caribbean. Very well composed 
I just downloaded it and so far it is great and I can see were you got the pirates of the carribean

It's growing on me. To surpass the Morrowind theme, though, it'll have to overcome a lot of positive associations I have with that music.
However, I have no doubt that I'll be getting a whole lot of positive associations with the Oblivion theme some time soon (soonohpleaseohplease)
in my head i can see glory knights riding down a grassy hill into battle while listenign to the oblivion fanfare. it captures a nice pathos, thats always a plus for RPG themes 
something, the morrowind theme didnt have. it was kind of sadder.

excellent.
you can put the music behind a good or evil guy so it makes it well rounded.
edit: saw this on a lower update:
Gavin Carter: There are innumerable elements that we wanted to improve from Morrowind. The AI was a primary focus, so we developed the Radiant AI system to allow us to breathe life into a world with well over 1500 characters. Physics are another feature that we made a priority from the start and they are incorporated into every facet of the game from magic to combat to traps. Other things we�ve done as direct improvements to Morrowind include jacking up the view distance to extreme levels, providing mounts for the player to ride, and changing up combat to be less of an abstraction and more of a visceral, kinetic experience.

Yeah I saw that too. It reifnoriced my opinion earlier when everyone criticized the 1000s npcs they said they'd have. I saw in a nother interview they said 1200, so it's my opinion they realized it wasn't enough and added more.
