Rick Fox – The Pirates Of Dark Water (Genesis) OST (1994)

June 24, 2021

This is one of my all time favourite Genesis / Megadrive soundtracks. I found the game impossibly hard as a child (I don’t think I ever completed it), but its soundtrack will stick with me until the end of time. It is upbeat and jaunty, and other times slow, melancholic and pensive. It is often simplistic, yet other times unfolds into glorious chiptune pomp.

Really, this has it all, and its a long one, too. It’s absolutely beautiful in every single way and I love it so much. My favourite series of tracks are the Citadel themes, but there are so many good compositions here. Timeless.
