Spyro - Year of the Dragon OST: Charmed Ridge

Spyro - Year of the Dragon Original Soundtrack

[@NewTears1]

Jack: “Help me find the golden goose!” Also Jack: *Jumps 50 feet in the air to reach it*

[@PotatoDude09]

Exactly. When I was replaying this game yesterday I was like. "Wait why can't he just get the goose himself?"

[@Enker68]

🤣🤣🤣

[@7hndo_89]

Then says "that's the ugliest goose I've ever seen,"lol

[@boemchak]

I feel like this level was kind of a tribute to the first spyro game. The cats were kind of like druids. The music was more like spyro one-ish. It had the enemies that would turn giant and small. It had the stairs that would turn flat and let you slide off.

[@DrShemp]

Also that piano tune sounds very much like the piano in Lofty Castle

[@Kro-RissaVirus]

boemchak I know this comment is super old and all but the developers said this level WAS in fact a call back to the more basic level design of Spyro 1 and how far they've come in the trilogy. :D

[@TheSBWproductions]

no wonder its the only good level in this game AYOOOOOOO

[@TheFiercestCreatureInTheWorld]

There was also the bright blue water which you'd drown in rather than swim in.

[@Turbogranny93]

And both levels have "Ridge" in their names...

[@bolladragon]

This music and level felt ripped right out of Spyro 1, I loved it.

[@twotailedavenger]

According to the devs, the level as a whole was meant to be a Spyro 1 callback.

[@HarmonySword]

That damned Jack and Beanstalk mini game. I remember getting stuck on that for hours when I was younger.

[@andersonoviedovelez]

This song really made me feel inside a magic story, like this level seems to be.

[@nicks4802]

Anderson Oviedo Vélez its that funky slide string section.

[@Reigndolph]

Almost like Lofty Castle?

[@no-hc6ku]

this song is a perfect example of how much work was put into just the soundtrack by itself

[@samin90]

That's because Stewart Copeland, the drummer for The Police was commissioned to make the soundtrack for the PS1 trilogy And it wasn't just "give me some money and I'll give you some music" deal, he actually sat down and played each level several times to come up with the perfect theme for each one

[@no-hc6ku]

samin90 yeah i saw the video about his process it was really cool

[@Chico50445]

@@samin90 I'm not discrediting Steward Copeland's work or anything but the way you say "Give me some money and I'll give you some music" makes it sound like most video game music is half assed and I disagree with that implication. Good video games always have good soundtracks, its one of those factors that makes or breaks the game.

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

I love how this level, its music, the enemies, mechanics, and aesthetics are one giant tribute to the Magic Crafters and Dream Weavers levels of Spyro 1, which were some of my favorites from the original game. They're strong reasons why the original Spyro the Dragon is my favorite of the original trilogy.

[@maroonkennedy6213]

Omg same! I like Spyro 1 most because it has that whimsical fantasy aesthetic and sound that later games drift away from

[@DaddyGreer65]

This has some Lofty Castle vibes. I love it.

[@EntermateStar]

out of the entire spyro 3 ost this feels the most like classic spyro

[@sweetwheatsy]

This one REALLY showcases his talent for music making. It's by all means meant to sound rather whimsical, has this magic folk-tale sound to it; but it's also groovy, like extremely groovy. I can't help but headbang when listening to this.

[@reizak8966]

Just caught myself headbanging to it. 😂

[@LookingTheBest]

One of my top 10 Spyro Levels. It's so funny, I was little and would always listen to the Police for the Drums and Stewart. I absolutely lost my shit when credits rolled and I realized he was also the one who made these amazing games music. Haha it's just funny how somehow I was unintentionally a huge fan of both these totally different genres of music, and it all ended up being made one dude. All this happened when I was like 4 or 5. I really didnt believe it was the same Stew at first, but It was! :)

[@ricardohuff8774]

This got town square, wizard peak and lofty castle feel and I love it.

[@CrownedJulz]

I've always loved how this track felt like a call back to the 1st Spyro

[@nicks4802]

I really like that wishy-washy sounds on the percussion, mostly noticeable right at the beginning

[@ians4109]

That sound is used in a lot of the Spyro soundtrack. I also like it.

[@sweetwheatsy]

I think it was a sample off SpectraSonic's Distorted Reality; very famous soundpack from the start 00's used in a lot of media, has so many great sounds. Used all the way from Spyro to Silent Hill.

[@thecalmsnow00]

Reminds me of Magic Crafters

[@chrisstanley9477]

More like dream weavers for me

[@cometmoon4485]

Don't you mean Dream Weavers?

[@Galax395]

More of dream weavers vibes for me

[@Galax395]

Dalek Dusty you could be right...hmmm Aha! Alpine Ridge and Charmed Ridge...hmmm...just like I was saying u could be right, though I would go for dream weavers if I were u.

[@thecalmsnow00]

@@Galax395 Yeah, that is a better selection. Also, will you be posting the ReIgnited Trilogy soundtrack too?

[@MB-fr5hf]

This reminds me so much of Lofty Castles…

[@SubSpaceKing]

I love how this takes elements of both Magic Crafters and Dream Weavers from Spyro 1.

[@HystericalDark]

One of my top 3 levels on Spyro 3. Both the music and designs are highly reminiscent of the first game, which is my favorite of the bunch (not a popular opinion, I know, but whatever)

[@mostlywholesome]

Actually, same. The music is awesome and the story of this level killed me

[@megakookat5677]

This is my favorite track from this game. It reminds me of my childhood so much

[@mr.spyro98thedragon24]

I love that piano, reminds me as a kid cant wait to hear this original version in the Reignited trilogy.

[@mysterypotatocat]

this song is too awesome!!!!! It makes me cry!

[@wisdomsparkproductions7916]

Can't wait to hear this in reignited trilogy

This world was one of my favourites :3 I want to see Princess Amy and Prince Azrael in HD :3

[@TripHopJunkee]

Best level in the whole game

[@RexfromIslaNublar]

I loved the Sgt Byrd level. I always thought it was funny when he was trying to hide the secret of him getting nookie with a fairy. “What… what are you giving me that look for?” 😂😂😂

[@Mr.Feather130]

I'll never forget about that beanstalk mission in this level

[@justinheadley9453]

SPYRO 1 VIBES!!!! Music to my ears! I loved the secret skill point in this level. Got there out of sheer curiosity!

this was by far my favourite level in the game :D

[@kaiqueoak8519]

My full childhood 😭 Thanks Spyro, my little hero 😢

[@Galax395]

Those sounds the cat wizards made when they were hit by Spyro, were just out of this world xDD

[@AlexMoby]

Spyro the first vibes OVERLOAD !

[@gy64]

Slowing this song down to 0.75 speed makes it sound more like a Spyro 1 track.

[@astroastra]

I only watched it on KZbin half a year ago and I never grew up with the game and this game sends me so many signals of nostalgia

[@superlombax1561]

A i d a n B o i t r u c k Yeah. I feel that same way experiencing Spyro 2 and 3 for the first time ever. It feels familiar even though it isn’t.

[@chrisstanley9477]

What you mean you never played these classics back in the ps1 days? Woah you must be young

[@KawaiianKing]

@@chrisstanley9477 Right lol not gonna lie tho my cousin had Spyro 1 i had 3 on the PS1

[@mr.spyro98thedragon24]

This makes a good theme song for Spyro if he had his own TV show.

[@FlyyGirl1000]

I liked the charmed, sorcery theme . The cat witches, the snooty green fairies, the princess and her handsome charmer cat boyfriend lmfaooo

[@vGalaxium]

This Level Really Creeped Me Out As A Kid‚ I Never Could Get Past Jack And The Beanstalk I Swear lol

[@GiordanDiodato]

you really have to think with that quest

Giordan Diodato Yes! I think that was the only egg I never got

[@vGalaxium]

Robert Castillo I don't think I ever got that egg as a kid. I'd have to watch a tutorial even now tbh haha

[@Tayce_t]

The fairies were asking spyro to save their princess from the prince but ended up the princess wanting to marry him and they drove away... even sgt byrd was banging a fairy

I remember being stuck on the goose challenge for a while.

This level stressed me tf out. A fairy urgently telling me to hurry up there’s cat wizards storming into a castle to marry a fairy and I must somehow “end” this? I sped run this world only to turn out they were eloping. Haha

[@isabottini]

my favorite song omg I almost cried when I re played this game today (Im 20 and I played 10 years ago). I remember I loved the wizard kitties but their voices were creepy e.e

[@luciferr09]

I'm 25 and played it when it came out 18 years ago. I well up every time I hear the music. I'm going to be a mess when the reignited trilogy comes out XD

[@chrisstanley9477]

This and fireworks factory are the greatest levels in the series.

[@ricardohuff8774]

I don't see how this was a tribute to the first game. Yeah the music sounds a LITTLE similar. But it still uses a lot of Liquid Grooves/Distorted Reality loops and the slide guitar. Edit: this comment was made when I was stupid and judgemental of this game without having played it. I played it and yeah it's a spyro 1 level in spyro 3. put magic crafters assets in their and you could convince me it was literally a spyro 1 scrapped level or that supposed "early magic crafters build".
