From the official Path of Exile Audio, i bring you this fine piece of music. I don't claim to own any of this music, all credits goes to Grinding Gear Games.
That was the most missing soundtrack for me in the new version. I remember that this one gave me this "different" feeling about PoE, as if the story had something hidden, something to reveal. Now it's just... casual.
I will never forget the first time I first set foot into the 2nd level of the Lunaris Temple 3-4 years ago. At first glance, it looks and runs just like the previous level, but, as you progress further, it gets far more dark and grisly, to the point where you start seeing mountains of corpses pile up as a result of Piety's experiments. This, along with this soundtrack at 1:58, and the inhumane screams and cries of pain and agony in the background, has really unsettled me for a good minute or two, and I loved every single second of it. THIS is DEFINITELY what makes Path of Exile put ARPGs like Diablo III to shame. GGG holds no punches when it comes to horror. They made a complete masterpiece of this game, and it shows flawlessly, especially with this scene.
I just came to sense now, this theme (Solaris temple) actually also played in Lunaris temple Cause: instantly attached the description of corpses and dark / intense horror 'increasingness' to this theme
I do not blame GGG. Licensing issues are licensing issues. I understand. I do not blame Kamil. He had big shoes to fill, and mostly did it -- a lot of his "replacement" work is AT LEAST a "sidegrade", and some of it is a straight upgrade. The new Dominus battle theme, for example, despite being a lot shorter, is utterly fantastic. I do not blame anyone involved. But _god_ I will miss this specific track. The new one isn't even close. RIP old Solaris theme. You gave me chills when I first entered the location.
No, see, what bothers me is that Adgio's original tracks were also removed. For example, the intro theme and Lioneye's Watch were 100% original works, and not licensed music or others' music that was hacked up and played as a straight 2 minute sample. Those were the biggest losses.
@@BottomOfTheDumpsterFire Would _you_ want to trudge through Adgio's work, never knowing FOR SURE if the remaining themes are original? It's a lot of work and risk for comparatively little gain. But yes, intro theme and Lioneye's theme are two huge losses. Another one is Solaris/Lunaris, but IIRC that actually was a stolen licensed track, so that had to go.
@@destruction42k Before they invited Kamil, they had Adgio Hutchings do some of the acts 1-3 music. For some reason, despite being more than capable of producing fantastic work on his own, he decided to supplement it by ripping off some royalty-free music and passing it off as his own. My guess is that he actually did _buy_ the licenses, which explains why this was only found much later on... or maybe he did just steal the tracks and this wasn't found until much later. Regardless, either this was discovered, or the Adgio-bought license time ran out, but GGG was in hot water and had to replace all the licensed tracks. Since they also had no easy way of knowing which Adgio tracks were original and which weren't, everything he ever wrote for this game had to be axed and Kamil wrote replacements. A lot of them were really good, but this old track (IIRC one of the stolen ones) is amazing and was a pitch perfect fit for the Solaris/Lunaris temples. The new track is just not as good.
And then we cry out to God for why he had allowed the hell to occur. Humans continually lack their individual responsibility to clean up their own mess. Yes. I say "mess", and when you see the Lunaris Temple, with congealed blood staining the ceilings...
The Lunaris Temple scenario, that was a really creepy location, tons of corposes, river of blood, screamings of dispair, a true hell envyroment, no doubt about, true hell made by humans (no need for demonds to make it creepy). This track fits so well in that scenario.
+Marco Aurelio Martínez de Escobar Martínez Yes the hellish location. Filled with many atrocities that are incomprehensible to the normal human mind but understood by those twisted and reviled. Those abominations created by Piety in pursuit of her goals towards a greater power; indeed the Lunaris Temple is a hellish place. The detritus everywhere you walk, the blood and bodies, the twisted monstrosities waiting in the light of the burning pyres. Truly a place out of hell itself. Well now... I had to get that out of the way. Its my way of describing something like that in the tone of a narrator. Also the music does seem to suit it.
Haven't played the game for about 4 years. Nostalgic on TH-cam listening to music. I came back thanks to this music. And she's not in the game. Why did the developers change everything?
@@АлексейТкаченко-о1ш Apparently the composer and GGG had a falling out and they couldn't or wouldn't keep the original music. Which is odd since some of it's still there
I loved Malachai. He gave me gems, divine jewels for his Gemling Queen. For his dead Queen. But I didn't want me dead! Malachai begged: for him, for the Empire. I chose me... selfish me. The Empire died, and I live. I live, and live, and live, and live.
I will admit, I did not like this game when it first came out. I made a duelist and got him to the early-thirties before deciding I didn't want to continue on. PoE felt a little lacking, dry and low-budget. Mechanics were odd, stiff, and content felt lacking, which coincided with the smooth gameplay of D3. Years later, D3 turned out to be a failure. It sold well, but it never captivated its player-base like the previous titles did. After playing many seasons and realizing the game wouldn't change from its poor release, I downloaded PoE, because I remembered how fast my attack speed was on the Duelist. I kind of wanted to see that again. I ended up making a Witch instead. After leveling through the game up to 'Act 3' of 'Merciless' difficulty, I realized that the early stages of the game gives players a slow beginning. Once you make it to mid-game, the content begins to blossom beautifully. I began to notice all of the attention to detail, the music (like this one!), the ambiance; I noticed something that I did not before: a passionate development team that was not going to stop improving the game. I realized that my Witch build wasn't very optimized, but no matter - Ascendancy was about to release. I remade her and planned her differently for my next go. I ended up turning my next rendition into a bad-ass Elementalist with Glacial Cascade. The AoE size, the INSANE amount of cast speed and cold damage that I had spec'd into was surely something that gave me much pleasure to witness, as demons broke into icy chunks and melted all around me. Still, her build had flaws. I would either need to buy a ton of Regret Orbs or remake. I chose to make a Scion, and when I did, I realized the beauty of the game's enormous customization potential opened before my eyes and I was hooked. Since this time, Hundreds of hours of fun have been had, and this is still my primary game. If I didn't have such demanding life commitments, I would easily be glued to this game for thousands of hours. Part of me is angry with myself that I didn't give PoE a chance when it first came out. Maybe it was because I was a little younger, a little less-wise - and with it, impatient. Nonetheless, I am glad that I came back and decided to play once more. I love everything about this game. PoE rocks!
I had almost the exact same experience. I was somewhat disappointed with D3, the action was good and satisfying, but I missed the RPG elements. PoE open beta came around at the time but it felt very slow and clunky. I also didn't really like or get the concept that every character could learn the same things because I was so used to the standard class fantasy of Diablo. It just seemed like all the characters were the same. I came back after a long time, and I viewed the game differently. I saw how each character started out differently on the passive tree, and that they truly were more like "characters" with certain talents, born with a gift but nothing predetermined like a class. The Marauder had a natural affinity for easily getting physically stronger and getting more health, but if you really wanted to you could make him a spellcaster, despite his brutish nature. Scion ended up becoming my favorite because she starts in the middle of the passive tree; a jack of all trades with the natural talent to become anything she wants. So I found a build online, told myself not to be so dismissive of the game's early start, and I actually managed to get an Arc witch in her mid 50's, which was a big accomplishment for me. Suddenly the combat was fun, and it was so satisfying to fry hordes of helpless enemies with blasts of chaining lightning. The sound effect of Arc is something I still love to this day. I learned about support gems, and I no longer had to resort to play the game using only Heavy Strike and Whirling Blades. The build possibilities are just tremendous, and there are so many interesting combination that surprise me, like spell totem + righteous fire. What I'm trying to convey I suppose is that the game has come a long way the last few years, and it's a shame to see people still being critical about it because they tried it in the open beta, but never gave it another chance. My friend always complained about PoE, because he tried it once in the early days and gave up, just like me. I was actually able to convert my skeptic friend, by trying to play together, explaining to him how things work, and handing him some leveling uniques and currency to speed up the slow beginning. I taught him how to buy things from PoE trade, not to spend much currency at crafting low level stuff and how to follow and chose a good starting build. Now today his eyes are opened to this game, and the vast amount of theorycrafting, building and replayablity that is possible. This went on longer than expected but your comment was just such a joy to read. For me and my friend to have such a similar experience just goes to show how much this game has improved. People really ought to give this game another try.
D3 is still fun nowadays.It's aged now and they need to do a sequel but it still feels really good to kill shit in that game. PoE never felt as good for me, even though it's the better game the combat just didn't grab me and that is what is most important IMO. I also completely hate the early and middle stages of PoE the story is just so boring up until you get to Lunaris Temple. I can see why people love it but D3 is still more fun imo, the combat just feels better.
I played through d3 and it was enjoyable. It was more fantasy WoW based. D1 and d2 were insidious and macabre. I believe PoE to be the true spiritual successor to d2. But i am just 1 guy.
@@Timotheus24 It "sold 13 million copies" and is named to be a "success" for only one reason: People these days are much more inclined to stick to comfort, over complexity. That is, people are more inclined to buy something that is simple to understand, over something that actually requires a mind to comprehend its worth. There are many game-developing companies that chose this route. The route that says, "Let's choose a different approach to gather a larger audience." And those two key words, "larger audience" are most prominent, because with such a route to take, quality is always abandoned. The human brain is incapable of possessing two primary focuses. The human brain is instead, capable of possessing a primary and a secondary focus. That means that a game-developing company is forced to choose between focusing primarily on quality, over quantity, over to choose quantity, over quality. You cannot focus on both, at the same time. D3 went the route of focusing primarily on quantity, over focusing primarily on quality.
I had this experience with StarCraft. The storyline was incredible but at the end of the first one I felt it was lacking. StarCraft 2 was incredible. Then I met PoE and failed 2 college classes...
Tise music shook and still does shake my nerves. The story of path of exile is too extraordinary to pass over, and i do suggest it to people looking for something to do.
@@lordcasper3357 Yea they redid the soundtrack as the old soundtrack had copyright issues or some crap, so this one along with others are not in the game anymore.
Imagine copying a quote and still making the mistake of "your" and "you are"/"you're" "You are not a cockroach!". I sincerely hope English isn't your first language.
Best one. Almost alwyas got chill on lots of differemt charasters. Kinda sad looks like they changed many tracks in game and last couple of years i didnt hear it, but whatewer. Will always remember.
Моя любимая тема из Path of Exile. Прочему-то этот голос вызывал чувство стыда и вины, когда я шёл по храму Солярис. Чувство стыда и вины, вместе с тревожным чувством грядущего справедливого возмездия... мне. Возмездия, которое так и не наступило.
Such a good soundtrack. I cant believe this is gone from the game. What amazes me is that whoever produced this music is soo selfish that they would let this die. Why on earth didnt ggg renew the license with these guys? Oh because they needed to save money.
This track is godlike. First time hearing this in the Solaris Temple made my mind wander off and just observe the surroundings. It was like interacting with a movie...
I had lots of fun with D3 (and yes, you can play and enjoy the hell out of both), but Path of Exile managed to create a soundtrack far more reminiscent of Diablo 2 that adds to an already amazing atmosphere. Take the atmosphere and music of PoE, the story of D2 and the combat and gear of D3, throw in some Blizzard quality cinematic and you would have an amazing game. I can only dream though.
Gay Albert I don't know, Path of Exile comes pretty dang close. The part in act three when you are going through the temple and seeing MOUNDS of bodies lying in pools of blood, with disfigured bodies hanging from the rafters and crucified everywhere was pretty brutal. I will agree with you on the amazingness of the D2 music, and I think PoE comes pretty close.
FallenTemplar D3 is a shame, it's hollow and cartoonish compared to D2. Path of exile is the real successor wjile D3 is a mre spinoff tabling on Blizzard fanatics and the name of Diablo to get $
You can hear this soundtrack already on one of the 60 (or 61 - I don't remember) maps :) . It has all tiles (like floor etc.) as well as this song from Act3 :) .
Found the waypoint at last after been encountered by 1392312 ribbons, fireball throwers thingy, moving statues, and... some holy water summoned by The Goddess of Something. Desperately looking for Portal Scroll because it will be so disgusting if you die and don't have a portal so you have to run through everything again... ultimately if the maps before have been destroyed already due to the 8-15 mins limit :|
As much as I like the aesthethics and music of the Solaris Temple, I think that places like Lunaris or the Aqueduct are far more befitting to PoE's dark, gritty theme.
Personally is the best song of the game,is so calm and by some part of the song make enter more in game. btw is look like Devil May Cry 3 song, the first 2 min especialy.
the problem is most poeple playing this played diablo 3 maybe even 2 and possible torchlight 2 so ye then it feels like a grind but its still just a amazing game if this were released 5 years later or earlier it wouldve been a total hit
The day they screwed around with the games soundtrack I was a bit taken back by it, for I'm there, in the game, and enter Lioneye's Watch to completely new music, just like with Solaris Temple, all new music! I know GGG had some copyright and licensing issues with some of the games tracks, but come on, it's GGG, I'm sure an amicable arrangement could have been made with the music owners. But perhaps GGG thought about the legal hell they's have to go through in order to keep the OST, changing some of the tracks was most likely the "path of least resistance"! I just didn't like anyone messing with the game, I got used to it the way it was and I thought it would always stay the same.
RIP PoE. Just tried the game again after a one year break, and the game has become so easy it makes me sick. Came here to pay my respects to the noble, haunting and harrowing masterpiece the game was in its prime. This is the song that best expresses what I felt towards this game, and now that it has been ruined, all that is left is a beautiful memory.
beotho Well, the mobs did roughly three times the damage relative to your health so yeah. Mobs that used to be able to kill a character in three or four hits aren't even dangerous anymore.
Poe has definitely become Diablo, but with effect all over the screen, making normal enemies very easy to kill. I don't remember it being like that when it first released, but I may be wrong. I'm not a fan of bullet hell stuff in video games. :/
@Khatack Maybe you'll want to give the revamped "hard-mode" of the game another go. They got rid of 'Cruel' and 'Merciless' and instead added 'Part 2,' which is like jumping from 'Normal' to 'Hell' on Diablo 2. You will find it hard. Trust me.
Some of Adgio Hutchings work turned out to actually be licensed stock music (!) and I guess the licenses ran out. Rather than pick out which tracks can and can't be used, GGG decided to nuke Adgio's work out of the orbit and replace it all with Kamil's work that's guaranteed to actually be original. I really liked pre-Oriath main theme, old Lioneye's Watch and this track. Old Sarn Encampment theme, too. Now, in all honesty, main theme, Lioneye's Watch and Sarn are, at the very least, sidegrades (if not upgrades), the new tracks are just as good... but not with this one. The new track is OK, but the old one was just unbeatable. A sad loss for the game's atmosphere in Solaris and also Lunaris temples. This track's modifcation for Lunaris being the lead up to Piety was so good.

Now GGG bring me a region with snow! D:
liquidpersuasion Because they make squishy tomato sounds when you kill em.
Here you go!
prepare yourself they listen you
This is the Eternal Way, Pretty, and silent.
Very silent yet it tells a lot my friend...
Best one. Almost alwyas got chill on lots of differemt charasters. Kinda sad looks like they changed many tracks in game and last couple of years i didnt hear it, but whatewer. Will always remember.
I used to grind the shit out of Solaris, just for the music
And now you're sitting in your Zana's hideout just for the music
I miss you :(

Моя любимая тема из Path of Exile. Прочему-то этот голос вызывал чувство стыда и вины, когда я шёл по храму Солярис. Чувство стыда и вины, вместе с тревожным чувством грядущего справедливого возмездия... мне. Возмездия, которое так и не наступило.
Indeed.. The music is perfect for those two maps. It just works together very well. Incredible deep thinking.
3:55 to 4:30 sends shivers all over my body.
Something eternal lives here, the question is how...
1:59 makes me shiver how awesome this is, and how well it fits into where it is put in the game T_T
Comment is so old, it doesn't have a time link! :O
1:59
@@thealarm7057 it may be old but its still relevant, this song is great, too bad its not in the game anymore. all the new music is amazing aswell tho
Magnificent track, very atmospheric. Music from Diablo 3 has a rest.
Великолепная песня, очень атмосферная. Саунд из Diablo 3 отдыхает.
Когда я узнал, что его вырезали, как и немаленькую часть других саундтреков, я очень разочаровался
I've played through both temples hundreds of times and every time I stoped to listen to this theme.
Never forget GGG. Just make it happen! Buy this song!
Such a good soundtrack. I cant believe this is gone from the game. What amazes me is that whoever produced this music is soo selfish that they would let this die. Why on earth didnt ggg renew the license with these guys? Oh because they needed to save money.
just a very solid game devs did a great job with this
POE is just the best F2P game ever ever
Lunaris was my best part of the game I really enjoyed it
Mountains of mutilated and mutated corpses floating serenely on black marble biers in a sea of blood....
POE shows Diablo what TRUE terror is.
Durance of Hate in Diablo 2 was kind of similar.
YES! I approve this statement
Is it weird that I found that scene awesome?
3:55, entering temple level 2..
This track is godlike. First time hearing this in the Solaris Temple made my mind wander off and just observe the surroundings. It was like interacting with a movie...
I had lots of fun with D3 (and yes, you can play and enjoy the hell out of both), but Path of Exile managed to create a soundtrack far more reminiscent of Diablo 2 that adds to an already amazing atmosphere. Take the atmosphere and music of PoE, the story of D2 and the combat and gear of D3, throw in some Blizzard quality cinematic and you would have an amazing game. I can only dream though.
d2 atmosphere and music was greatly superior to poe. poe has a good currency system though
Gay Albert I don't know, Path of Exile comes pretty dang close. The part in act three when you are going through the temple and seeing MOUNDS of bodies lying in pools of blood, with disfigured bodies hanging from the rafters and crucified everywhere was pretty brutal. I will agree with you on the amazingness of the D2 music, and I think PoE comes pretty close.
Gay Albert lol no way man. But i guess that's your opinion.
FallenTemplar D3 is a shame, it's hollow and cartoonish compared to D2. Path of exile is the real successor wjile D3 is a mre spinoff tabling on Blizzard fanatics and the name of Diablo to get $
"It seems that even time loses its will in the face of Nightmare"... Scion 4ever :3
This song is so good.. I want to thank the composer. Deep respect!
You can hear this soundtrack already on one of the 60 (or 61 - I don't remember) maps :) . It has all tiles (like floor etc.) as well as this song from Act3 :) .
and this kinda soundtracks are amazing this lvl its in also kinda have the feeling they put most attention to this lvl plus this soundtrack
Who here is listening and plays Poe in 2020 thumbs up
When I'm in Solaris temple, turn off the effects and turn up the music. Awesome
one of the best soundtracks in this game it burns in the memory sector
yeah ;(
Times when PoE was dark, bloody, creepy...
It's far too mainstream now for my taste. I still enjoy the new PoE, but the old one was a masterpiece!
Great soundtrack, I can't wait to enter the Solaris Temple...
Totally reminds me of Frozen Synapse... Particularly the "Welcome to Markov Geist" track...
My favourite part 3:54
I just got near the end of act 3 this is my favrote track in the game. its the only one ive turned the sound effects down to just listen too so far.
One of the best POE soundtacks if not the best.
Found the waypoint at last after been encountered by 1392312 ribbons, fireball throwers thingy, moving statues, and... some holy water summoned by The Goddess of Something. Desperately looking for Portal Scroll because it will be so disgusting if you die and don't have a portal so you have to run through everything again... ultimately if the maps before have been destroyed already due to the 8-15 mins limit :|
This music (and the temple itself) completely caught me by surprise. So damn good.
It sounds a bit like something from Lord of the Rings movies. Very nice track
This music plus the perfect scenario of the dungeon , those things combined made me droll
I hate you, GGG, for delete this. I will never forget and never forgive until you return everything
Godlike!
tata, not-a-cockroach
I love those dialogues that comes out of her mouth.
Hell yeah man, it's actually freaky as hell, such a great game!
the best *.*
Can't find it no more in game. :(
Can't find it no more in Digital downloads (((((((
well not quit since the first part of the solaris sound track differs a bit then rolls into the part where they're are both relatively the same
As much as I like the aesthethics and music of the Solaris Temple, I think that places like Lunaris or the Aqueduct are far more befitting to PoE's dark, gritty theme.
Personally is the best song of the game,is so calm and by some part of the song make enter more in game.
btw is look like Devil May Cry 3 song, the first 2 min especialy.
i love the choir !!!
WOW!!!
I think the music is really what sold.the game to be honest.
the problem is most poeple playing this played diablo 3 maybe even 2 and possible torchlight 2 so ye then it feels like a grind but its still just a amazing game if this were released 5 years later or earlier it wouldve been a total hit
they hit quite hard for a small mob on higher difficulties though
RIP best theme, gone in 3.6.0
Why did they get rid of the best sound track!?
Mighty music!
спасибо ggg за такое отношение к музыкальному сопровождению и атмосфере в игре на протяжении стольких лет! СПАСИБО!
Hope they will update the OST with the new track from Lioneye's watch &c.
Would be worth a new microtrans
😃
Who only listens to the first 2 minutes?
I actually listen only to the stuff after the first 2 minutes. That's the part that I like. Especially the part that begins just after 3:54
absolutely fucking brilliant
Why they changed music in this levels? is there in the game this track yet?
Does anyone know who is singing in this song? I love her voice and can't find anything on her. Please help!
That song is so much like a song i've heard in the background of some movie, from 2:05
I never denied it's not awesome.. It's fucking awesome :D
+asdd loll Older Resident Evil games had track like that also
+cr4yv3n You got me finally.. Resident Evil it was. EXACTLY.
+iProphet3 Addendum: A track from The Matrix also has the same style of music.
Don't remember the name though, It's really cool though
Scream, Sidneys Theme, too (but only the beginning) watch?v=iT_-VIO7TUA
01:59--> plaese throw the toaster into my bath now
My favourite area on PoE
I wonder who really made this song.
Sadly it's gonna be gone in 11 days, so that's irrelevant now :(
th-cam.com/video/S3K5ynOKs8g/w-d-xo.html
What is this genre called? I luv this shit. Also what L2 had. Can anyone help me out? Gimme a list of similar "choir" style fab music? plix plox
+ReeYuuJee L2 had different style of music.
*****
Yet never said they are the same nor similar. I just said that I like what L2 had as well.
Nah, L2 stands for Lineage 2
ReeYuuJee
Oh..yeah especially C1,C2 and C3.
After that it went to shit imo.
darkwave
They changed it
I was there to play PoE with this soundtrack but to be honest, I still prefer new one.
The day they screwed around with the games soundtrack I was a bit taken back by it, for I'm there, in the game, and enter Lioneye's Watch to completely new music, just like with Solaris Temple, all new music! I know GGG had some copyright and licensing issues with some of the games tracks, but come on, it's GGG, I'm sure an amicable arrangement could have been made with the music owners. But perhaps GGG thought about the legal hell they's have to go through in order to keep the OST, changing some of the tracks was most likely the "path of least resistance"! I just didn't like anyone messing with the game, I got used to it the way it was and I thought it would always stay the same.
I guess the miscreations can be handled as demons o.o
So there are 4 types of enemys. Undead, Demons, Animals & humanoid.
I remember getting kaom with 1000hp !!! Poe for the win real Diablo 3!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know any way one can download this track or the original soundtrack?
loved this one. but i cant find the lunaris temple soundtrack?? (that place was fucking creepy)
RIP PoE. Just tried the game again after a one year break, and the game has become so easy it makes me sick. Came here to pay my respects to the noble, haunting and harrowing masterpiece the game was in its prime. This is the song that best expresses what I felt towards this game, and now that it has been ruined, all that is left is a beautiful memory.
just started the last days with poe. was it alot harder at the beginning?
beotho Well, the mobs did roughly three times the damage relative to your health so yeah. Mobs that used to be able to kill a character in three or four hits aren't even dangerous anymore.
Poe has definitely become Diablo, but with effect all over the screen, making normal enemies very easy to kill. I don't remember it being like that when it first released, but I may be wrong. I'm not a fan of bullet hell stuff in video games. :/
@Khatack Maybe you'll want to give the revamped "hard-mode" of the game another go. They got rid of 'Cruel' and 'Merciless' and instead added 'Part 2,' which is like jumping from 'Normal' to 'Hell' on Diablo 2. You will find it hard. Trust me.
I literally had to cry of nostalgia... this game.. I love it and hate it at the same time.
Bye bye not a cockroach...
Sounds like Lord of The Rings music.
I can't seem to find the answer as to why POE changed its soundtrack? This stuff was NOT broken, in need of fixing!
Some of Adgio Hutchings work turned out to actually be licensed stock music (!) and I guess the licenses ran out. Rather than pick out which tracks can and can't be used, GGG decided to nuke Adgio's work out of the orbit and replace it all with Kamil's work that's guaranteed to actually be original.
I really liked pre-Oriath main theme, old Lioneye's Watch and this track. Old Sarn Encampment theme, too. Now, in all honesty, main theme, Lioneye's Watch and Sarn are, at the very least, sidegrades (if not upgrades), the new tracks are just as good... but not with this one. The new track is OK, but the old one was just unbeatable. A sad loss for the game's atmosphere in Solaris and also Lunaris temples. This track's modifcation for Lunaris being the lead up to Piety was so good.
