Some Hell on Wheels tracks turn up 24 Jun, 2011 / 7 comments

By Jason

Say what you will about how Full Throttle: Hell on Wheels was looking - with a score by Peter McConnell, we were most certainly going to be getting a righteous soundtrack. The maestro seemed pretty excited about his work when we did an interview with him back in 2003 (not that I can link to it). Oh well.


But McConnell wasn't the only composer on the project - contributions were also being made by LEC regular Gordy Haab, and four lovely background tracks that he did for the game have been found online. They're now on Mojo. Here, let me help you with that.

    Great tracks. I'm very visual when it comes to music, and I feel like these would have fit perfectly with the wide open road, vast oil fields, and the red sand as nature tries to take back what belongs to it.

    Makes me sad that this never came out. Even if Telltale or some other company picked this (or Payback) up I really think the premise was solid enough that the game wouldn't suffer from such a disconnect like the new Duke Nukem.

    I remember Peter put on his webisite two or three tracks of his some years ago.
    He was actually SINGING in those tracks, great stuff.
    Hell on Wheels... I would have played the game.

    Oh, Jason. Of course you can link to the 2003 McConnell interview. You just need to know where to look.

    Gordy Haab also did the kick ass soundtrack for the Wii Indiana Jones games. He's good!

    These are wonderful tracks. I love the guitar work... It has a very Irish essence, like something from Loreena McKennitt or Gaelic Storm. Listening to the music, it suddenly occurred to me that Full Throttle would make an excellent movie. Whenever I play the game, I always imagined Ben portrayed by Patrick Warburton, who has the right physical presence for the character. I'm not sure which actress could be Maureen, though. Any ideas?
