And why the incorrect use of a prime mark?

Because before it was the undevoted fanbase, dummy.

I don't get all the hostility. I haven't played MO but the work Bross did on SW's score is fantastic! I've listened to it several times now and I can definitely see him doing justice to Abe HD even if he does completely new pieces for it.

He's definitely capable of the more subdued sounds in Abe's Oddysee as well (the Mongo Wilds and Buzzarton Sewers tracks in particular). I urge anyone who never listened to the soundtrack alone to give it a chance.

The only thing I can modestly say about this situation is - if Abe HD will have ambient/deep music - im sold ;)

I actually like Michael Bross' work. I am highly curious to hear what he's going to do for Abe HD.
