from ve3d.com

UbiSoft announced today it has signed a deal with Peter Gabriel to do music for Uru: Ages Beyond Myst:

San Francisco , CA - October 8, 2003 - Ubisoft , one of the world's largest video game publishers, has teamed up with Peter Gabriel to add a distinctive sound to its Myst ® franchise of games. Gabriel will pr ovide the song, "Burn You Up, Burn You Down" for the November release of Uru(tm): Ages Beyond Myst ® and the world-renowned artist will also pr ovide an original composition for the next game in the series. Myst ® is one of the most widely recognized game brands in history, with more than 12 million copies sold worldwide.

"When Myst ® came out I thought it succeeded well in creating a feeling of other worlds in which mystery and imagination were the compelling elements instead of the usual action packed 'shoot 'em ups'," said Peter Gabriel, artist. "I think there is some similarity with the way I try and create worlds of sound. I, and my collaborators, are very much looking forward to working with the Myst ® team."

Peter Gabriel is a very talented musician, however, I never got into those "Myst" games...


Maybe I am just too stupid to play them...:)


I love the songs Steam and Sledgehammer...both are classics :beer:

Peter Gabriel is a great musician. I have never tried out any of the Myst games. Not all that sure this will compel me to buy the new one either. Still it is cool to hear that he is getting some kind of recognition these days. He kind of fell off of most peoples radar after his hit videos.

A new Myst? Woot!

I'm an absolute fan of the Myst series.

From time to time I like to try them again even though I've already done the puzzles, just for the beauty and atmosphere.

I'm not very familiar with Peter Gabriel's music, but as long as he respects the atmosphere of the game I'm all for it.
