Free Music Review: A great companion to the game
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is well worth the buy, especially as a companion to the game. The music is haunting and joyous, the perfect sound for the right place in the game. The music in the game can be easily heard, and, if you've played the game, you can really see where the music is placed in the game while listening to it.
The long version of the "Main Theme" is not heard in the game, just a shorter version at the end. This song was not very appealing to me, as it just didn't have the same feel as the other songs. "Opening Titles" is a shorter version of this with a little bit of a different instrument mix. This is heard at the beginning, and you can definitely tell where Atrus is supposed to be talking, because that part is just repeated verses. "Atrus' Study" is the music heard while in Atrus' study. This sounded more familiar, because the same song without the percussion is used for the J'nanin Theme, omitted from the soundtrack (probably because of the similarity). "Saavedro Enters" is the short cue heard when Saavedro enters the study and sets it on fire.
"Saavedro's Theme" and "A Heartbeat Away" are mainly heard while searching for a way to get into the observatory, and have a similar tense but almost serene feeling. "Saavedro's Lair" has a more tense, echo-ey feeling to it.
"Theme from Amateria" sounds almost ambient, but strong. You can almost see a vision of the purple clouds and ocean with the red pagodas and the store. "Libra's Lever" is more serene sounding; it almost sounds like you've solved something and are ready to move on. "The Spider Spinner" is more ambient, and you can almost hear the water rippling in the background. "The Wheels of Wonder" is very haunting; it's my favorite piece in the game. You hear it when you're solving the final two puzzles in Amateria.
"Theme from Edanna" is a little bit more fun-sounding. It sounds almost sunny. "Deadwood Ridge" is a little bit more ambient, and sounds more like the Nature Age. "The Swing Vine" has a nice violin solo, with some Edanna-like background. "The Forest and the Swamp" sounds almost like you're about to emerge from the darkness into the sun, with not much of a melody, but many joyous sounding background sounds.
"Theme from Voltaic" has a nice melody, and there are many background noises that definitely make it sound like the Energy Age. There is some background singing, also. The background noises and melody are almost haunting, but some part of the whole thing almost makes you want to get up and move around. "The Airship Chasm" is a little bit more ambient; there's a background noise that you can really hear in the game. Because of that, you can positively identify the music from that part of the game. The beginning melody of "Energy Island" made me skeptical that this was from Voltaic, but I soon recognized the rest of it.
Many of the Narayan songs are a lot like each other, and they're hard to place in the game. "The Confrontation" is from when you finally confront Saavedro on Narayan, he realizes that you're not Atrus, and threatens you. It almost sounds blank without him talking, but the different instruments at different times tell his emotions while talking. This one is actually pretty good. The same case with "He Sees Hope," which is from when Saavedro sees that Narayan is still alive, but then realizes he needs your help to get to it. The piece ends with a bit on confusion, then anger. "Let Me Go!," "You've Been Followed," "Into Oblivion," and "All is Lost" are haunting, with a feel of despair and anger, and it bothers me that I cannot place these in the game. "Trapped" is from when you trap Saavedro, and you can completely feel the despair. "The Tide has Turned" has a feel of despair and anger from Saavedro, but it shows your power over him also. "The Dilemma," also known as the main Narayan theme, is from when you decide what to do with him. It has the same feeling as the previous song, plus a bit of puzzlement, and those feelings grow greater as the song plays longer. "All is Well, my Friend" does not portray that all is well, and I know I heard it in the game, I just can't figure out where. "Going Home" is a nice piece for when Saavedro rides joyously to the alive Narayan.
This is a great buy, especially if you have played the game. There is a bonus track, but it does not add anything to the soundtrack, although it is a nice song. I recommend this CD to everybody who has beaten Myst III: Exile, and maybe those who haven't but like this genre of music. Jack Wall also wrote the Myst IV: Revelation Soundtrack, which is wonderful as well, but unfortunately Amazon doesn't sell it!
