Summary

When World of Warcraft: Forever's beta first launched, I lamented its long stretches of silence and penchant for ambience over theatrics. I still sort of stand by that, but after spending more time in Azeroth (and discovering the loop music setting) I've a new-found appreciation for both WoW's soundtrack and ambient music as a whole. It's also got me thinking about what makes a soundtrack ambient versus something more melodic.
