EDIT: Never mind, didn't read the notes carefully enough.

The front of the album says that it's inspired by the "best selling series," which sounds a lot more like the series of books and not the game that was based on them. Found several sites that confirm my suspicion that this album is for the books and not the game. This would be why the album wasn't marketed as a game soundtrack.

That said, Bob Berry and Lief Sorbye, two of the composers for this album, are listed under Music Composition in the game's credits. The game precedes the album by two years, so it is possible that some or all of the music on this album was first written for the game.

Is it confirmed that this OST is indeed and exclusively for the PC game?

Is there any port of the game? I thought "Wheel of Time" was a PC only game.

It's still unclear if the music is for the novels, or the game.. but if it's related to a game it's probably the PC version.

Ok, i finally got my hands on scans.

I don't know why Andy1977 stated in the notes the following: "the booklet doesn't contain any hints about the origin of the music"
but i am definitely not agree with that.
Front says "best selling series" that is usually used for books
Booklet 1 says "Music has always been part of my writing. Not only do i write to music, but i think of my writing in terms of music."
Back says "in a way, writing is like orchestrating the characters".

I think this album is for the book series and not the game.
Of course the music could have been used in the game too, it still needs a check.

I fixed everything else on the entry.
