This theme, originally composed for the Inn, is also used in the final game for the main menu. When Clouds and Darkside are installed on a computer at the same time, the main menu for Clouds of Xeen is replaced with a World of Xeen menu, which instead plays "New Bright Town" from the Darkside of Xeen soundtrack. Therefore, many people are not as familiar with this beautiful piece. Version 1 is the original full length non-looping version of this track (lost for 25 years), while version 2 is the shorter looping version as appearing in the final game. Because version 1 is a 16 channel version, it is impossible to hear the full composition at once with a normal MT-32. Therefore, all channels have been recorded independently and then merged. Information is lacking, but it is likely that version 1 was never even sent to New World Computing. The original commission to Tim Tully reads: "Inn when you sign in, you save where you go training." & "Sign in, create, or delete new character, and add and remove from party. Need sign in music and inside (guy behind desk hands you pen.) Can use this for all the time, or have stuff for creating." From this note, and because the "tavern" are "inn" are designated as two completely different places on the original commission, and the fact that no equivalent theme was commissioned for Darkside, it seems clear that the original concept was to have separate buildings for the tavern and inn, as was done previously in "Isles of Terra". For version 2: The original version's (A) instrumentation may be restored by consulting the text in the original midi file, although the midi file itself and the game version (B) share a slightly different instrumentation: * Flute (A) to Piccolo 1 (B) * Oboe (A) to Bassoon (B) * Harp (A) to Guitar 1 (B) * * * * * The FM version is what most people heard when they originally played the game. The MT-32 version is how the tracks were originally composed, while FM is a revised version for lower-grade soundcards with less channels and instrument selection. But due to a programming error in the game's .M music format, the notation of every single song of every music version in the final game has been lowered by 2 semitones. The FM version (having been made from the original MT-32 versions, and being unable to be altered) has retained this 2 semitone lowering for the soundtrack, while all of the MT-32 versions play at their original tone as composed even though they would be lowered by two semitones in the final game. FM version recorded and donated exclusively for XeenMusic by "cyclone3d" using an authentic "Sound Blaster Pro - CT1330A" equipped with a real dual OPL2.
