@freejaytea Dear Jeroen Tel ; THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES! This is pure art at its BEST! What a great composition! Thanks a ton. I still remember the good old days of Commodore 64 and how this tune amazed me (and it still does)
@jeroen tel , you are a legend bro . This tune is best c64 tune . i bought this game in the end of 80's and when listen the music i stop playing the game and just dance :-)
Yep! I'm 38 now, but when I first loaded up Myth and this tune exploded from my 12" CRT TV from my C64 in 1989/90, it blew my fucking mind! I still have a C64 set up to this day for retro gaming. Jeroen Tel, Martin Galway, Tim Follin and Steve Rowlands are absolute legends in the C64 music scene :)
I think one of the most masterful aspects of this track is at 2:49 when there is this major transition, and the classic C64 arpeggio takes on a carefully timed rhythm that adds a beat that aligns perfectly with the syncopated melody of most of the remainder of the song.
Its a rare thing to immediately groove and vibe with a game soundtrack. The composer should feel incredibly proud of this work. Despite the limitations of the technology this is the result of unbridled passion.
I'm 44 years old, the legend playing while I'm waiting for the game to load while I'm adjusting the commodore 64 head still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.😞
i remember first time i loaded this game on my c64... i was 13 years old in 1990!! imo this is one of the best c64 music ever. I use this as ringtone on my phone :)
Takes me back... So glad I was born in the late 70s and to grow up in the 80s with the c64 and later the amiga but c64 was with me for most of my childhood years and music like this and outrun and turbo out. Is all timeless
He brought up this game in his review of Conan games and said the music was amazing. Conan for the NES is a clone of Myth, but with less than stellar music.
I remember this song from my childhood, me and my best friend LOVED this song, didn't mind that it took like forever to load the game. The game was good to, but the song??? Still love it!
I was quite surprised, when I found out, that Jeroen Tel is only one year older than me. So he was very young, when composed this tune and the Iron Lord tune.
Back in these days. Most games you couldn even turn music off. So the music played a bigger role, annoying music meant you wouldn be playing very long. Today it seems that music is often times an afterthought. Back then music could easily be 50% of the game.
I remember I had a pretty neat metal cover of this in my mp3 folder back in the Day. Not sure who made it, maybe that band that did gianna Sisters and stuff like that? I remember it sounded in flames like
for some strange reason i could not complete this on the c64, when u get to the pyramids level really got stuck on it, but when it was re-release on the Amiga smash it like i was playing zelda very strange, might be to do some thing with the frame rate
The font used for Myth looks exactly like the font used for Styx’s album The Grand Illusion. Search up a picture of it and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.
Is there some version with drums/percussion added/mixed in? I know this doesnt have them because of hardware limitations, but it would be great if someone add them.
Filters. Sweet, sweet SID filters. Also, having a good ADSR envelope and not being stuck with a choice between square waves or white noise like its peers helped a tonne.
When I composed this tune I hardly had a clue how much impact it would have on the scene. Thanks for the upload cheetahman91! :-)
Yes, occasionally. :-)
Thanks man!
I wonder how difficult was to compose these themes with just 3 voices.
But those were great music times and wonderful tracks!!!
I loaded this game when it was new only to listen to this music too many times.

This has been the ringtone on my phone for the last 2 years.
Honored ! 🙂
I'm only a little baby boy of 30 years old and I'm here because of an older friend of mine, but this is fantastic sound regardless!
Which is praised for it's awesome music.
*Plays theme*

Jeroen Tel is a frikkin MASTER of the SID chip. Awesome compositions.
Thank you! :-)
wow.... the SID king is here! Thanks for the awesome music!! ;))

Imagine the kids that loaded this up the first time and heard this awesome shit.
Well i was that kid back in 1990 when my dad bought me C64 and this game on tape. Today 36 years old and still listening to this epic tune!

One of best C64 title music ever!, still in my head after all these years🎶🎧.

This is pure magic! Jeroen Tel, you belong in the composers' hall of fame!
Gives me goosebumps this. Great memories rushing back from the store aged 15. A classic that even now sounds modern. The step change is mind blowing.
This is awesome even by today's standards.
Also, who found this thanks to JonTron?

There is something about the melodies that Jeroen came up with that just 'had something'. (And that something was bloody good!)
+Matt Finch : Thank you! I think I know what that "something" is. ;-)
@@JeroenTel Melody nowadays seems to take a back seat, which is a sad affair in my eyes. It was ALL about the 'tune' for me. :)
It comes and goes, Matt... it comes back gradually already. =)

Awesome! :-) I feel honored. I was 16/17 years old when I composed it, sir!
We could've played marbles together.
nooooooooooo, if we played a marbles you would not Had the Time to Write this masterpiece, aahahahaha!!!! seriously, thanks again for this song :)
Haha! xD

It's always a bit confusing hearing the title theme, while the loader screen shows. What about the Loader music?

Thanks, Chris ! 😎⭐
@@JeroenTel you welcome every now and then I come back to this and play it
This is like 7 songs in one and there all the best song ever
Can someone explain to me how a song composed in 1985 on the c64 hardware is better than pretty much 90% of the music out there?
1989*
@@user-cp9id1mj8b because these synthesizers breed creativity
It's not. It's better than 99.9%
Limitation is creative fuel
You can take your fuckin' fully orchestrated soundtracks, we need more proper chiptunes in our game soundtracks, or at least fakebit.
0:31 reminds me of DOOM.
TheScoutPro I dont think DOOM was out at that time
Jim Kallimanis It wasn't. Thats just what i think of when I hear it.

Holy crap this is amazing thank you Johntron!
Thank you Jontron!
it truly was "history in the making"...
why jontron?

Such a quality tune from my younger days. Excellent version! All of your compositions are top quality
Ugh this gives me Goosebumps!
Ez . . . valami fantasztikus !
Köszi Jeroen tel !
Still loving the c64 tunes it had some of the best composed for the time
JT's so good at composing original melodies, as well as understanding how to get the best out of the SID.
I remember this song from my childhood, me and my best friend LOVED this song, didn't mind that it took like forever to load the game. The game was good to, but the song??? Still love it!
still holds it this game does, the style the tune the O.G in me will commit a crime if i keep listing to this
You give Jeroen Tel a sound chip to play with, you're gonna have a good time!
I was quite surprised, when I found out, that Jeroen Tel is only one year older than me. So he was very young, when composed this tune and the Iron Lord tune.
I swear the must have put more effort into making this tune than they did the rest of the game! But hey it was c64 times whatcha gonna do!
Back in these days. Most games you couldn even turn music off. So the music played a bigger role, annoying music meant you wouldn be playing very long. Today it seems that music is often times an afterthought. Back then music could easily be 50% of the game.
It took me one long afternoon after school only, but many 1000's of hours to get good at composing Commodore 64 SID music.
I recorded this from c64 to the cassete tape back in 90s.
**snaps** now that’s what I call music.
Awesome track!! My favorite part start at 2:49 :)
Yes it still sounds great but to hear this back in the 80s was magical we had future EBM under the hood of our 8bit beasts!
this is one of my all time favourite game intro's. thank you for posting this =)
MEGA! ENDLESS! MASTERPIECE! Keep this song with 0 dislikes!!
You. Dirty. Jinx.
Maybe he jinxed it, but it'll always be 0 dislikes in our hearts.
great tune
ngl, quite a banger
One of the best c64 game tracks, love it!
Set it to 1.25 speed and it sounds epic
Makes me wanna C69 the C64
More like game and bang
Plug and play

HOLY ****! This is soo good!
That's why most of the old gamers and nerd became metalheads!
I remember I had a pretty neat metal cover of this in my mp3 folder back in the Day. Not sure who made it, maybe that band that did gianna Sisters and stuff like that? I remember it sounded in flames like
Even in comparison to today's high tech world, this STILL sounds amazing.
Even though (as far as I know) Myth: History in the making had only 2 songs, this still beats new game soundtracks
for some strange reason i could not complete this on the c64, when u get to the pyramids level really got stuck on it, but when it was re-release on the Amiga smash it like i was playing zelda very strange, might be to do some thing with the frame rate
Fantastic game. Fantastic music.
Tho whole track ist great especially the part 2:49 -3:03, i use that in a lopp as a ringtone. Thnx
La migliore colonna sonora sul c64 😃😃

sweet musics!
Hallelujah?! Holy SHIT!!
gives me goosebumps
Which episode piano lessons can be murder? If so its not the pianos ya need to worry about it's these killer tunes!
Is there some version with drums/percussion added/mixed in? I know this doesnt have them because of hardware limitations, but it would be great if someone add them.
Listen until the 2:49 mark.
How did the SID have such a fat bass on it
Filters. Sweet, sweet SID filters. Also, having a good ADSR envelope and not being stuck with a choice between square waves or white noise like its peers helped a tonne.
Why does this sound so modern?
Mozart van het begin digitale tijdperk !
Is this song in the public domain yet or is it still copyrighted
Still copyrighted, but the copyright holders don't bother enforcing it unless someone's attempting to profit from it, which is pretty fair.
sounds like you could make some sick vaporwave
2:49 and onward sounds like Julian Casablancas lmao
Welcome to Myth.....Title Music was the best in the whole game, game itself was crap :(
Play this over the stranger things intro and be amazed.
I loved this tune so much that I learned to play it. Then I claimed it as my own in music class.
Hahaha; Well, *I* wrote an English paper, based on "The Staff of Carnath" C64-Game Instructions and CLAIMED *THAT* as MY Piece of "Fiction..." 😜
the best!
Holy christ balls im pretty sure Doom ripped off that little riff starting at 30 seconds!!
This's like an 8 bit Luca turrili song
Thanks Jontron!
