If you were trying to call me out and start a flame war in the spirit Leto seems to have intended this thread for, my opinion of the game's music tends to range from "doesn't overstay its welcome" to "good enough for listening on its own", nothing in the vicinity of "could be worse." I made a thread about this once, actually.

There are some bits of the soundtrack I do like, the fan composed Elven Regions material is good, While I'm correcting people, MacLeod's music is royalty free, not public domain. He would not appreciate the implication that you don't have to credit him, and he does require licensing fees for not doing so.

I don't think the provenance of "Elven Dungeons" is known; if you know it, please add it to the wiki.

Guess I can try to answer the thread properly. In the rare case that I'm testing something for the twentieth time and don't want to hear the game music, or am opening and closing the game repeatedly, I tend to listen to instrumental pieces, because lyrics are not conducive to focus. Sometimes this takes the form of piano compositions by Haydn or Schubert, or movements from Beethoven's symphonies, but more often it takes the form of music from other games or arrangements thereof. Here are an arrangement album and two OSTs I recall listening to instead of TLS music. The OSTs don't really fit TLS, but that's not what I tend to be looking for in these situations.
