The Rise of the Golden Idol OST: 10 - An Old Flame | by Paul Alexander (2024)

I love the mixture of the like, half-life lab sounding sciencey tones, along with the wailing tones that at the time may seem a bit dramatic, but really fit in the wider picture in this small event being the catalyst for OPIG's usage of the IDOL.

@@somekinnn And it does only fit the bigger picture! The actual event of the chapter is immensely silly, with an overambitious, bumbling moron setting himself on fire in front of his superiors. The theme does ground it, though, especially with Toussaint standing ominously in the darker room

This feels like the most Kyle Misko-y song in Rise, with the unique instruments specifically to fit the lab segment, combined with the strangely ominous vibe, and the grandiosity.

A bit sad they didn't bring him back tbh...

This gives a foreboding sense that they stumbled upon something that should never be discovered by the folly of mankind.
