'Attention Elder Scrolls and Soule Music Fans!

We at DirectSong are excited to announce that the masses have cast their vote and the first annual MTV Video Music Award has been awarded to Composer Jeremy Soule and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for Best Video Game Score!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion marks Jeremy Soule's return to the Elder Scrolls Massive Role-Playing Universe, having scored its enormously successful predecessor, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Jeremy wrote over an hour of beautiful and epic music for Bethesda's Award-Winning Sequel installment, Oblivion.

"It's truly an honor to be selected by a world audience for this award. The team at Bethesda Game Studios created a truly great game and it was a privilege to work with such talented people. I also want to give special thanks to Oblivion creator Todd Howard for allowing me the creative freedom to experiment with the score. With this award tonight, I feel that Oblivion has been one of the most memorable and enjoyable projects of my career. For those that have followed my music and supported me over the years, please know that I appreciate your kindness and love for my work! Thank you for your vote and for helping to highlight the music of this emerging medium."
- Jeremy Soule'


I must say i'm pleased with this. Soule has always composed some fantastic music and I really enjoyed most of the tracks on the Oblivion OST. I'm surprised MTV even caters for video game music though!

What does everyone else think?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
