Sure, from 0:00 - 0:05, it's a harpsichord, French horn and Double bass, then comes in a little lick including a glockenspiel, harp and xylophone. The next motif from 0:06 - 00:16 uses the same instruments, with the addition of the strobing synth at the end of the phrase. It then repeats shortened, but this time with a clarinet doing a repeating downward pattern every bar. Then we have a double bass contrapuntal melody in the back with a ride/rim pattern in the percussion with the occasional pizzicato lick. Then when it repeats it moves up a tone and adds in a clarinet/glock lick at the end of every four bars, with the addition of a bassoon. At about 0:48, it repeats 0:06 but all the instruments come in with the strings and xylophone in the main epic melody. Then at 1:10, We have the French horns playing the main melody with clarinets and horns pulsing in the background. Crash symbols and pizz sections are heard throughout.Shrooblord wrote:RayFan, can you point out which instruments Eric's using in the track of The Precipice named 'The Great Escape' on RayTunes? I can say there's some violins, a glockenspiel, some other instruments, a double bass, etc., but what you can clearly hear is that there's multiple types of instruments playing the same melody at the same time, making it very hard to pinpoint exactly what array of instruments is playing.
(OK, I'll admit that if I put some effort into it, I can probably distinguish each instrument individually, but it's not something I would call simplistic. Perhaps we just have two different interpretations of the word. However, I'm curious whether or not you'd call Origins' music simplistic, since it's also only say 5 instruments playing at one time in there, while the music itself is a lot more frantic.)
That's all I'll be doing for now. I had no problem identifying the instruments at all because they're all very clearly distinguishable for the following reason:
How is it simplistic? It may have a lot going on in a few select pieces such as this one, but for the most part, there are only an instrument or two playing in the background. However, even on tracks like these - it's difficult to explain - the melodies are catchy and simple while having very structured and solid backing; that's a very vague description of simplism.
In Origins however, they have a whole orchestra playing full force on most of the tracks, and they have all these intertwining melodies. That is nearly impossible to call simplistic.
I want Legends to be EPIC!! BTW, Now that the Glade stopped being Cloud Cuckooland and became a medieval world, I think neither the chipmunk voices, nor the kazoo, nor the hilbilly jew harp would be required this time for the soundtrack. Music should be more enthusiastic, dark and Raymanish this time 
Actually "Cloud Cuckooland" is a trope from tvtropes, I was talking about that 
price between 360 USD and 400 USD? Knowing the stupid currency convertions that Sony and Nintendo love to make, it will cost in Europe something between 360€ and 400€. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
