Track Listing

[edit]

I have the soundtrack, and it has 26 tracks. However, despite mentioning that Halo is the 26th track, the track listing only has 16 entries. I'm a little confused, but I'll go ahead and get the complete list off of Amazon. --Phant 23:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On a Pale Horse -- Meaning of name of song

[edit]

I wondered what the meaning was for "On a Pale Horse". I thought, "Pale horse?" What is that? There's no horses in Halo.

Like the "John-117" Biblical reference concept, this also has biblical roots, I found out. Revelation 6:8 says: "And I looked, and beheld a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." Bingo. "On a Pale Horse." Death was riding on this pale horse.

Notice that on the Halo 3 Original Soundtrack Discussion, I also posted this item regarding "Behind a Pale Horse", in reference to the thing following (behind) the pale horse: Hell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.42 (talk) 21:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Halo-soundtrack-cover.jpg

[edit]

Image:Halo-soundtrack-cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA Review

[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Halo Original Soundtrack/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

  • "in medley form for more enjoyable listening" - was this the reason they gave for remixing? Minor POV issues.
  • "The first piece O'Donnell wrote" - and which piece was that?
      • Added
    • "O' Donnell's first piece of music, which would become the "the signature theme for Halo", was written and recorded in three days - again
      • Added
  • "along with Michael Salvatori." - wlink him and say (very briefly, as you did with "As the audio director for Bungie") who he is.
    • He doesn't really have a "title" that I can find, but he has worked with O'Donnell on all three Halo soundtracks and a good deal before that. I could just call him co-worker? I think he co-founded TotalAudio, but if they have a site, I can't find it. Blackngold29 16:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The music sample should probably go alongside the MacWorld intext mention (as well as commentary on it).
    • I put it down there just to limit the "whitespce", I moved it up some.
  • "An instrumental track appears after the final track. The song, known as "The Siege Of Madrigal", is from Bungie's series of real-time strategy games, Myth.[citation needed]" - citation needed
    • I looked everywhere for one, I guess it's kind of like an Easter Egg. I suppose just take it out until a source can be found.

Please leave me a note when done. Cheers, —Giggy 11:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good now - all issues seem resolved. Passing. —Giggy 00:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
