  • Finally got my hands on this soundtrack and let me just say... I'm in awe of its beauty. This is just so very ethereal and magical. I must admit that I'm kinda sad you didn't put up "A River Canyon". That song made me cry. I fell in love with the voice as it carried me off into far away worlds in my mind.

    Thank you yet again, Garudoh. :)

  • Glad to see you're still getting new stuff, Gypsy. Been a while since I made this one, but I do remember having a hell of a hard time narrowing it down to 10 minutes.

  • If it weren't for you I wouldn't have a clue about all the many VGM gems. I'd never even heard of this game!

    Its rare when I can say there isn't a single track on an OST that I didn't like. Really, you could've thrown up any one of them. "Ghosts" is really quite amazing and was the first to really grab me. "Cathedral of the Lost" is lovely as well.

    Ahh, I'm so in love with this soundtrack! <3

  • Ha, I love reading comments like that. Hopefully you'll keep discovering new stuff and enjoying plenty of great tunes.

  • This reminds me of music from Silver. Have you uploaded those?

  • Not yet, but your comment made me consider it. I'll check it out for sure.

  • I just played THE DIG for the first time about 3 weeks ago...

    Man! 99% of videogames get worse as time progresses. But this one is definitely just as incredible as it was back in 1995. What a glorious story and world that young and adult would love.

    Thanx for the soundtrack upload!

  • This music is actually really good ... I should follow the links to find out more about the game

    And was supposed to be a film. Became a game instead.

  • This is probably my favorite LucasArts game. Not because it's better than Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacle, or the Indy games even, but just for the memories I have playing it.

    I have played all the games again recently and none made me as nostalgic as when I played this one. Full Throttle came close. Beautiful game and beautiful music! 

  • This is so great that you made this music videos with gameplay. Now I can see how it works and if I whod whant to get it..... and I DO. Thank you. Great music proops to you Garudoh

  • @GypsyRed The music is amazing, but so is everything else about this game. You can download and play it on Steam now.

  • I was playing this at uni, and when I stopped, it felt like coming out of a trance.. from another world. I've never had a feeling quite like that, of grandeur and mystery : )

  • Garudoh, I'm glad you put this masterpiece at the big 300 marker in your series of uploads. I think this game may be my favoritre PC game of all time, even though I didn't play it nearly as much as a bunch of other great titles. I had no idea they were thinking of making this game into a movie, but then again, it's been a good 12-15 years since I played it. One thing's for sure - The Dig is magic.

  • 1 of the most EPIC soundtracks, ever.

  • best music, best storyline and best animation for its time =]

    too bad its so underrated

  • Shoulda been a film. Plays like a film. Almost was a film.

  • I think the storyline was inspired by something he wrote.
