Search - Jack Wall, Northwest Sinfonia, Josh Segal :: Myst III: Exile the Soundtrack

Don't be fooled, it's classic stuff.

"Composer Jack Wall took over scoring duties from Robyn Miller for Myst III, and although he takes the music in an entirely new direction, the main Myst jingle is still in there. But it's now evolved into something a whole lot more involving and effective. Replacing the eerie, isolated atmosphere of Riven are a huge orchestra, angelic children's choirs, seductive string solos and the ever intriguing duduk, probably the coolest sounding musical instrument ever. Listening to the score to Myst III is like being taken thru dozens of different moods and feelings. It's an experience on its own. You'll feel power, sadness, loneliness and love. It's not just limited to the game either. Myst III is strong enough to stand on its own and will surely one day be performed as an opera. The CD went out of print pretty quickly but I implore you to find a copy pronto. It lasts for 57 minutes and contains 30 tracks. Tho it's a shame that the unused tracks and the awesome music for the Myst III trailer are not featured, tho they are available from Jack Wall's website."

A perfect accompaniment to a great game

"This is a beautiful and colorful soundtrack to go with the beautiful and colorful worlds of Exile. I love the addition of wind and strings to the usual synthesizer music, which was great by itself but better with real instruments. It always fits the mood of the environment perfectly, and is noticeable without being obtrusive. It's one of the things that I love most about the game itself, and I love having the soundtrack to listen do while I draw. It's quite inspiratinal."

Epic
