    “Chaotic Big Band” is the perfect name for this style of action/spy thriller music. To me, one of the best examples is the Archer theme, which builds up all the 60s secret agent tropes until it appropriately collapses in a hilarious mess of trumpets. Might be worth an analysis?

    On one hand, the soundtrack was SO much better than it ever needed to be. But that's everything about TF2! ALL of it was better than it needed to be. Valve at at its best made games that were really good and would have sold wonderfully well but it went the extra several miles. Let's not forget that the music was recorded by Valve Studio Orchestra. Valve hired a goddamn orchestra! The release of Meet the Medic (and its music) was, in my eyes, the absolute height of Valve's powers.

    I recommend checking out the musical cues in L4D2 (another Valve game) and how they are used dynamically to indicate which types of Special Infected have spawned, how close they are to players, their status, etc. Every single Special Infected has its own little motif and they are all super recognizable, even when played on top of one another. The devs have talked about it a bit in various places (including in-game commentary).
    Also, the L4D1 motifs got reused but restyled with new instrumentation & production to suit the new settings of the sequel.

    1:43 Pretty sure it goes B-B-B-A-A-Bb-B instead of B-B-B-Bb-Bb-B-B. Might be a little different from what I typed but I'm pretty sure it has that A in there because it's played in E minor blues.

    9:28 Fun fact, theres actually another way that you can "growl" on saxophone that I find easier than humming. If you play while making a gargle sound in the back of your throat (sounds like perry tha platypus or when someone rolls their r's) you can get a really nice growl sound.

    It's in my name, it's in my brand. TF2 has been my everything, and boasting a lifeless 8000 hours (and counting) into the game, it's great to see more people take a serious whack at the musical composition of the game. It's catchy, it's punchy, it's both chaos and beautifully orchestrated harmony. If there's more TF2 coming down the pipeline for Charles, I'd ask him to take a look at the more character focused themes. Right Behind You, More Gun, Drums of War, and the (unfortunately) latest addition of Jungle Inferno. All of these deserve their own breakdowns!
