Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

I was lucky enough to be in Hawaii on top of Mauna Kea last night and saw the Geminid meteor shower. No moon, pitch black, so many stars the sky looked white. Put in Reach soundtrack, laid back on the roof of my truck, and watched a show of dozens of shooting stars and huge colorful fireballs. It made me want to thank Marty for creating such incredible music over the years, beautiful, deep, strong and subtle. Last night, that music was even more powerful than the silence of the night :) Mahalo Marty

Not really discussing anything, just wanted to thank Marty for his awesome creations. If you feel you need to discuss something, I think his music is vastly superior to Neil Davidge's Halo 4 which was ok but generic compared to O'Donnells' masterpieces. Feel free to agree or disagree.

Good edit Wolf, now you're getting it. Marty is a genius, which will help Bungie's quest for world domination...

I'm sorry your otherwise phantasmagorical night was tarnished so. Should have stuck some Halo 2 on.

I am Katsu Kage, an assassin trained in the art of stealth. I was on a recon mission when I discovered a blue box hidden among some rubble. Once I entered the blue box it had taken me to a land far away. It was strange and fantastic! There I met PatikaVoom, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She showed me this land, then returned with me to the blue box. She called it a TARDIS and seemed to know how to work it. We left together and have been on many adventures, with many more to come!

All music by Marty is awesome!

I also think Marty's music is vastly superior to Neil Davidge's, I don't mean to put it so bluntly but Neil's music was just terrible imo.

I'm sorry... but I could not disagree with someone any more if I wanted to. I really did not like Halo 2's soundtrack. Even if that is your thing, electric guitar would completely ruin the mood.

Say what you want about Reach, but the soundtrack was absolutely wonderful.

I thought the soundtrack was one of the worst parts of Reach, Marty really let himself down. He's forgiven though, because he's the man who gave us this divine piece amongst others over the years. Halo 2 has the best OST in the series.

There are many many other halo 2 tracks to listen to that don't have the electric guitar..

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Since you have no defined discussion here, let's discuss the amazing soundtracks and music throughout Bungie's existence.

Marty is an awesome composer.

Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

Halo 3 Never Forget. Only good song on Reach was "Brute, Strong, Overtrue".

This, and only this. Everything Marty has done is a wonderful piece and truly unique in its own way. Everything from CE-Reach. I can honestly and sincerely say that none of the tracks done by Marty are bad or horrible in any way.

Marty's works makes me fly high! :D
