Title theme and ArmsRace song



All,

I'm at an impasse.  :(  So here's some links:

http://benedict.servebeer.com/armsrace.mid

The first is intended to be the title theme and I'd like to have it ready for 
0.4.2 since Crimson just magically got support for a title theme.  :)  The 
main theme gets stated three times (or four, I forgot already) with different 
accompaniment.  It feels pretty disjointed going from phrase to phrase, but 
each phrase sounds good (to me, at least).  So it seems that I need to pick 
one or two and just expand those and cut the rest.  What do you guys think?  
Since this is going to be the very first song ever heard when you start the 
game, and the first you'll hear everytime you start it, don't be shy with 
comments.  ;)  It's also the only song that, in my opinion, is allowed to 
distract the user from time to time, since they're not actually playing the 
game yet.

The second was intended to be the title theme, but doesn't sound like a title 
theme to me.  Jens, offlist, commented that it sounded about like Arms Race, 
so I'm nominally working on it for that, and I'm not intending to have it 
ready for 0.4.2, although if it is ready I certainly won't object to it being 
included (but realistically it probably won't happen, I still have to put 
together the license files and pull the license out of the Default Symphony.  
Not a lot of work, but a chore that has to be done).

Thanks,
Dave
