Music from the soundtrack to the game "Witcher" from the last week's issue of "Gazeta Wyborcza". Beautiful, atmospheric arrangements for orchestra, male and female voices. Can't wait for my game! Bloody post-office!
1. Adam Skorupa - Dusk of a Northern Kingdom 4:33, 8,3 MB - my favourite :) makes me think about a castle in high, inaccessible mountains, first snow, after dark :)
2. Adam Skorupa - A Wolf's Demise 2:09, 3,9 MB
3. Paweł Błaszczak - River of Life 5:19, 9,7 MB
4. Silver Sword 1:31, 1,7 MB - this is only a fragment, but you can loop it and you'll have a background music without a noticeable break.
current mood: sleepy current music: Nat King Cole "When I Fall In Love"

Title: The Last Wish Author: Andrzej Sapkowski Original title: Ostatnie życzenie First Edition: Poland 1993, UK 07 June 2007 Genre: Fantasy Publisher: Orion/Gollancz
This is the first book in the Witcher saga and was only recently released in English. One of my favourite series ever and I stumbled upon it in funny circumstances.
Everybody and their mother was talking about Witcher and Harry Potter at the time. I thought I would puke at another mention of them. I thought that I was well past fantasy books, as much as I enjoyed them earlier. One day on my way to work I noticed a strangely clad young man who was reading a book and was so engrossed in it that he stumbled on his way to the tram seat.
At first I thought that he was some metal fan but his outfit hinted at something medieval. Because I have a soft spot for books, Middle Ages and freaks who live their fantasies I wanted to check what piqued his attention to the point of not noticing his surroundings. When I came closer (OMG! She's stalking strangers!) I had a good view of the cover I already knew ('Oh, no! Not Witcher again!') AND the boy's gloves: they looked like ones the knights have been using. I smiled and I knew that I was defeated: I decided to read this damned saga.
( Read more ) Um... quick question: In Polish original the name is 'wiedźmin' and it's non-existent male counterpart word for 'wiedźma' which means 'hag' or 'witch'. Does 'witcher' suggest that it's a male rather than female? I mean I was always told that suffix '-er' constitutes profession or a maker, not gender.
current mood: enthralled current music: PJ Harvey "C'mon Billy"
