544:. On reflection, and the change in the file description, I'd be happy to accept this as a featured sound because it is from a notable game (or so Sven indicates - I thought I was a bit geeky, but I hadn't hear of it!) and uses modern technology. I'd be wary about accepting more than this one file as a FS, unless they became notable.

game? The Wiki page doesn't seem to indicate how popular / downloaded / installed / etc it is, and the reviews on the page don't seem to indicate a widly positive set of reviews. The piece sounds good, albeit as performed by electronic synth orchestra rather than the real thing. I'm undecided about it at the moment.

The performance and engineering are quite good (frankly, it's a pretty easy style to play). In what way is this "representative of modern orchestral music"? Performers were who? That is, the orchestra and the conductor? Preferably, where and when, too. Should italics and/or quotes be used in the file

Tony1's concerns need to be addressed. The summary needs to be rewritten, this isn't modern orchestra, it's modern video game music at best. Play on the fanfare aspect, it's the strongest thing to place in the definition statement. Also, is this MIDI or was there an orchestra, it needs to be stated.

I'd be very wary of using this as an example of modern orchestral style, unless there is a source stating this which is stronger than the blog of the composer (or a web-forum). If this was from a notable game, then I suppose it would be useful and notable to illustrate that - how notable is this
487:
By the way, I just overhauled the description page. It now has dates, makes the fact that it's synthesized explicit, and links to the article for the game. You all might know the technical aspects of music, but I can whip up one mean description page. :)

Also, this marks the first time I've ever been edit conflicted in a featured sounds related page. This is a proud moment for me (it means there's activity in the area) and I'd like to thank Adam for ECing my post. A toast, to many more edit conflicts!
