This viki holds full and popular soundtracks of games, movies and shows, one page each: Aion 2, New World, Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer so far. Every page opens with highlights, the moments inside the tracks where an instrument or a voice comes in or the music peaks, then lists every track in a table that plays it from its first second, with who wrote and recorded it and every edition released.
Fourteen soundtracks are here so far, 520 tracks and a little under 27 hours of music, from Star Wars to Skyrim, and one of them is on a clock: New World, whose Homeland is playing, loses its servers on Jan 31, 2027 (Amazon Games), while a third Conan film was confirmed on Mar 9, 2026 with nobody yet named to follow Basil Poledouris (The Hollywood Reporter). Every page works the same way: highlights first, the moments inside the tracks where an instrument or a voice comes in or the music peaks, then every track in a table, each playing from its first second.
Highlights
One moment from five of the soundtracks to start with; each page has the rest.
All soundtracks
Play starts each soundtrack's best-known piece. Tracks and running times count what the page plays.

Our tiers
We rate every soundtrack S, A, B, C or D, by a rule anyone can check, and say so in the first line of its page:
| Tier | Rule |
|---|---|
| S | Recorded complete a second time by another orchestra, and still played in concert |
| A | One of those two |
| B | Neither yet, but released in full by its maker |
| C | Released only in part |
| D | Never released |
The rule measures what a score has survived, not how much we like it, so it is hard on new music: Aion 2 and New World are B because they are one and five years old, not because they are worse, while Skyrim, at fifteen, has already had the London Symphony Orchestra play it. It is also why Interstellar, the score we would take to a desert island, is an A: nobody has recorded it complete a second time that we could confirm. We think New World's will climb once the game is gone and its players want to hear Aeternum some other way, and we think Conan the Destroyer sits one tier above where its 1984 recording would put it by ear. Where our ear and the rule disagree, the page says so.
How highlights are found
Two ways, and each page says which. Some are picked by ear, as the New World ones were on Heartbeat. The rest are measured: Vi.ki runs the upload's audio through an AudioSet sound classifier (MIT's AST model), which reports every two seconds how strongly it hears a violin, a cello, a choir, a voice, brass, a flute and some twenty other sounds. An entry is the second a sound rises from near nothing and holds. A climax is a track's loudest eight seconds, counted only when they are at least 6 decibels above the track's middle loudness. At most two highlights are kept per track.
The classifier is a machine and hears like one. It lands within a few seconds of where a listener would put an entry (on New World, where a person had marked the same tracks by ear, the two were 2 and 4 seconds apart), it cannot tell a solo from a section, and a quiet entry under a loud orchestra goes unheard. So the wording stays plain ("a cello comes in", never "the cello solo"), only entries it was sure of are kept, and it is checked against what is known: it heard no choir in Conan the Destroyer, which was recorded without one, and found the choir of Conan the Barbarian in Riders of Doom.
What we think
- We think the New World albums stay on streaming services and on YouTube after the servers close on Jan 31, 2027.
- We think King Conan quotes Anvil of Crom, whoever scores it.
- We think the 1982 Conan the Barbarian recording finally gets a complete official digital release before that film arrives. More of our predictions
