It blows my mind how people can come up with so much great music. Lately I have been really enjoying listening to instrumental soundtrack pieces from games and movies and this guy is mosdef right up there with guys like hans zimmer and john murphy

He also did the music for BG2: Throne of Bhaal, Icewind Dale 2, and Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.
Not bad pieces but nothing terribly memorable.

Though, I do really like the music used in New Vegas, even though most of it is recycled from earlier games.(pre-Fallout 3).
