>The soundtrack from the game?

The answer to your question is yes, and no. :) The album was written, performed, and produced by Robery Berry, the man who did the music for the game. Here's a snippet from the review at SciFi.com that explains the nature of the album failry well.

"Even though many of the tunes on "A Soundtrack for The Wheel of Time" were initially composed to supplement the computer game, this album is being promoted as an accompaniment to the novels. Perhaps because Berry has labored to significantly augment and expand the melodies from their original format, the themes do, in fact, work quite well as a complement to Jordan's epic literary adventure."

Also, not only have the songs been augmented and expanded with new instrumentals, but some songs have even been given vocal accompaniment.

You can also find some info, as well as song samples, at Magna Carta Records. Magna Carta is the company that has put out the album.
