Lair is music to my ears

Based on previews and screenshots, Lair certainly looks great. And now it is poised to sound even better. Lair's developer, Factor 5, is pulling out all the stops on this one by bringing in some grade-A Hollywood polish in the form of uber-composer, John Debney. This is fantastic news! I'm a huge fan of large orchestral scores in games and Lair's hot dragon vs. dragon action is just screaming for an epic soundtrack
Debney has scored some great flicks, including Sin City, Bruce Almighty and a 100+ more. It will be fun to see how he applies his talents to Lair. He's sure to take the game to the next level... I can't imagine some games without their music (Halo , Medal of Honor and Resistance come to mind). What's your favorite game soundtrack?

Wait, what? Level-5? I think you mean Factor 5.

When I think if John Debney, "grade A" and "uber" do not come to mind. He's a composer for mostly comedies, low budget fare, and television.
Grade A would be John Williams, James Horner, James Newton Howard, Howard Shore, or maybe even Danny Elfman.
Debney is more of a B-Grade, with his best work being Cutthroat Island, End of Days, and Passion of the Christ.

Final Fantasy 9, 7 and Croc - Legend of the gobbos have the best soundtracks! =)
