8 | The ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'' series of VideoGames is full of dazzling scenery, and music like this. |
9 | |
10 | [[AC:''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'']] |
11 | %%* The [[https://youtu.be/OVIBbYYzNw8 Myst theme]] sets the mood for the adventure to come. |
12 | %%How? What is that mood? |
13 | %%* The [[https://youtu.be/xkniYzS16Cc The Forechamber Theme]] was originally written to show that music would ruin the Myst experience--but showed just the opposite. |
14 | %%How? |
15 | %%* The themes for [[https://youtu.be/9T8SH16elGg Sirrus]] and [[https://youtu.be/o6NuR0t4V0w Achenar]] capture their respective personalities. |
16 | %%How? What are those personalities? |
17 | * [[https://youtu.be/Z3g91zo1tQg The Tower]]. It's perfect for Halloween. |
18 | * [[https://youtu.be/4yfPMlIF0tk Treegate]], with its intoxicating drum beat. |
19 | * The glorious and bittersweet [[https://youtu.be/NpP_NHTxM5o Finale]]. |
20 | |
21 | %% Links from Riven to present have been taken down because of copyright. "Enter Spire" under Myst 4 has replaced the Spire music collection and should now be working. |
22 | [[AC:''VideoGame/{{Riven}}'']] |
23 | * [[https://youtu.be/fcs_Ft5lHQc Link]], simply for being the sound of progress. |
24 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/rMOSTOSyNz8 Atrus' theme.]] |
25 | * [[https://youtu.be/CD3SA8Mt_WM Caves to the Temple]]. It is not in the official soundtrack sadly, but is a nice variation of [[https://youtu.be/ITObGdvx7x4 Temple]] which plays in the shrine next-door. They're nice songs in the way they convey the sense of Gehn's madness. |
26 | %%* The [[https://youtu.be/8eqetqwcWEo Moeity Theme.]] |
27 | * [[https://youtu.be/0ApiVqVNejQ The Red Cave]]. Dark and ominous, a pity it isn't longer. |
28 | * [[https://youtu.be/UwVIwTAwZ-4 Gehn's Theme]]. It's worth getting a bad ending to listen to it. |
29 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/eSnAY95yN-s Catherine's Freedom]], by far the best track in ''Riven''. |
30 | |
31 | [[AC:''VideoGame/MystIIIExile'']] |
32 | %%* The awesome [[https://youtu.be/XFw0gbQk23M main theme]]. |
33 | * [[https://youtu.be/tdFQrKtpQHs Atrus' Study]]. A relaxing, melancholy piece that acts as Sirrus' {{Leitmotif}}. Foreshadows Sirrus' role as the main villain of ''Myst IV''. |
34 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/bKBuOusKfbY The]] [[https://youtu.be/i_ZCSrZE2SM Amateria]] tracks. |
35 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/nZggieOGsgo Edanna]] music. |
36 | * Every note of "[[https://youtu.be/FoCV1AtIFBY Deadwood Ridge]]" evokes a nature hike, especially the drumstick tapping that sounds a lot like a woodpecker. |
37 | %%* The tracks for the [[https://youtu.be/vGv3ojUVS-0 confrontation]] at the end of the game. |
38 | |
39 | [[AC:''VideoGame/MystIVRevelation'']] |
40 | * [[https://youtu.be/WTWLUFlAQHw Enter Tomahna]] is a relaxing home-sweet-home piece. |
41 | * [[https://youtu.be/yRAKzyOW6t4 Enter Spire]] is an absolutely gorgeous adagio for strings and glass harmonica. |
42 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/ph0DX8fLFxI#t=3m57s Serenia]]. |
43 | * "[[https://youtu.be/s4YcGwdHLN8 Prison Level]]" brings to mind a Middle Eastern dungeon. |
44 | * "[[https://youtu.be/JLHDdsckgWg Leaving Spire]]" captures the Stranger's obvious thoughts of "I'm on my way, Yeesha!" |
45 | * This is in sharp contrast with "[[https://youtu.be/ph0DX8fLFxI#t=7m08s The Monastery]]." |
46 | * "[[https://youtu.be/bD3vX3eXhNY Curtains]]" by Peter Gabriel is just wonderful, even if most of the lyrics are incomprehensible. |
47 | * The [[https://youtu.be/yXu6ZYy2WLg Main Theme]] could easily work as music for a castle storming sequence. |
48 | * "[[https://youtu.be/3qAYS04yWs4 Atrus Speaks]]", combining Atrus' relief that Yeesha is safe and his grief at Sirrus and Achenar's deaths. |

51 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/Z3-2aFW3qpo#t=4m18s "Todelmer".]] |
52 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/GRst2mAxnfQ "Time Machine".]] |
53 | %% |
54 | [[AC:''VideoGame/UruAgesBeyondMyst'']] |
55 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/u092jgfqC-U "Badlands".]] |
56 | * The haunting [[https://youtu.be/DlipEo6cBeY Gallery Theme]]. |
57 | * Anything, ANYTHING associated with [[https://youtu.be/7yphjmzp9Ok Kadish Tolesa]], but especially the Kadish Gallery and "[[https://youtu.be/7yphjmzp9Ok#t=4m29s Alternate Vault]]" themes. |
58 | * The [[https://youtu.be/Mw6OaTE5IMc Space Ahnonay]] theme is a soothing synth piece that evokes space travel. |
59 | %%* [[https://youtu.be/FAbU0ZCn44E Er'Cana]] factory music. |
60 | * While ultimately not used, "[[https://youtu.be/4-BOPts42rk Out of the Hive]]" is a well-crafted piece evoking a jog through jungle. |
61 | * It might be more mundane, but [[https://youtu.be/tDLWttoFptM Air Stream]] (playing as you explore the area around the Cleft) is really relaxing. |
