David Rovin, Audio Director, Pandemic Studios,
LLC,
said,

Our
vision for the music on FSW2 was a subtle mix of western military themes
and middle-eastern timbres.  Garry understood immediately what we were shooting
for, and he nailed it.  In some pieces he leaned more on the traditional
orchestral ideas, weaving in subtle ethnic sounds.  In others he let the Arabic
instrumentalists and vocalists create the dominant atmosphere
.”

Schyman’s previous video game soundtrack credits include THQ’s smash hit
Destroy All Humans!™ developed by Pandemic Studios.  Schyman’s score for
Destroy All Humans! has recently been nominated by the Game Audio Network
Guild for "Music of the Year 2005," "Best Live Performance Recording" and "Best
Original Instrumental" – Destroy All Humans! Main Title. This nomination is
considered, by many, to be the most prestigious of all music nominations because
it is voted on by the leading composers, musicians and audio directors in the
video games industry. Winners are announced on Thursday, March 23, 2006 in San
Jose, California during the Game Developers Conference.
