'''''Primal (Original soundtrack score recording)'''''<ref>http://www.allmusic.com/album/primal-original-soundtrack-score-recording-mw0000030674</ref> is the official soundtrack for the videogame, [[Primal:Primal|Primal]]. It was composed by Andrew Barnabas & Paul Arnold (otherwise known as Bob & Barn) and was first released online on June 10, 2003.

The score was written by Andrew Barnabas and Paul Arnold, and was composed in recording sessions by Nic Raine. A 77-piece squad from the City of Prague philharmonic orchestra and 32-part chorus performed the score. The five [[Primal:Oblivion|realms]] of the Primal universe are each represented by a separate musical signature, with common classical influences and soprano vocal solos. Gongs, percussion, low choir and brass were used for [[Primal:Solum|Solum]] and the themes were solely for [[Primal:Herne|Herne]] and Jared. The [[Primal:Aquis|Aquis]] realm contained choirs, woodwinds, high strings and two harps to instil a sense of tranquility - the main theme being for [[Primal:Aino|Aino]]. The dramatic nature of Russian music combined with emotive violin made up the [[Primal:Aetha|Aetha]] soundtrack. The Volca themes were few, but consisted of a combination of Egyptian, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern musical influence - the Alto Flute playing an important role.
