How about something similar to the outskirts in The Witcher 1?

How about something similar to the outskirts in The Witcher 1?

And something new from Percival.
I would listen every language version of Witcher audiobook, if it will have soundtrack like that. :yesI'm listening to the soundtrack... it's so beautiful...

I think the vocals in Bonnie at Morn are a mistake. It just seems too deliberate or illustrative when the scene should take priority. I hope no other tracks put the vocals front and center like that.
Edit- ok so it's designed to be looped...not good. It will break immersion badly and the English VOs are out of place. I hate to sound ruthless but if this pops up while I'm exploring I won't be able to get visions of Julie Andrews out of my head.

I sure hope Skorupa comes back for CP77. I listened to some of his trance music, he is quite good and I think he would fit Cyberpunk perfectly.
The Witcher 1 already had an iconic, unique (and beloved) soundtrack to distinguish it, so all they had to do was go back to that style. What frustrates me is that they said they would, yet I see little evidence of this.
Percival's music is cool, I don't mind it, but there's been far too much focus on it. And, frankly, there are better representations of slavic music than their work.
Hmmm...I personally feel that Skorupa's soundtrack was somewhat generic, but in a good way: It was a mix that made it difficult to pinpoint culturally (well, the bagpipe perhaps, but bagpipes were and are common to most old European musical traditions) but it still sounded fairly unique. The Witcher I definitely had an 'iconic' soundtrack in that regard. And man, is Skorupa a master of mood.
Yup, I would have loved him for Witcher III. He also more or less set a standard I think - we want a soundtrack that is equally good or, preferably, superior. That kind of composer is probably hard to come by... Maybe they could have gone for Knut Avenstroup Haugen? He did a great job writing the Age of Conan soundtrack...
I just hope it's just marketing selling the game on Percival's sound (don't know why you'd want to do that but they seem to be doing it regardless) and it is not representative of the majority of the music in-game.
To be completely honest, I was fairly optimistic of the possible outcome up until:
Yeah, that left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Definitely not as excited for W3's soundtrack anymore (the soundtrack being a huge factor when it came to my enjoyment of the previous games).
As a bit of off-topic, I sure hope Skorupa comes back for CP77. I listened to some of his trance music, he is quite good and I think he would fit Cyberpunk perfectly.
Skorupa and, let's not forget, Blaszczak did indeed create a very good soundtrack. As you said, it uses elements from several different cultures - slavic and celtic primarily. And while no soundtrack that is meant for a wide range of people is ever going to be not 'generic' in some sense, as it can't be by its very definition, they managed to create atmosphere and music that are unmistakable, while still making them appeal to many.
