Though Shadow of the Colossus was released over five years ago and I only played through it twice, it remains in my top ten games of all time. The soundtrack plays no small part in that ranking.

Prologue: To the Ancient Land
Right from the start, this OST lets you know that it means business. The opening is haunting, stirring, and uplifting.
_
The Opened Way: Battle with the Colossus
This track captures the mixture of awe and anxiety that you feel when facing the first colossus.
_
Silence: Battle with the Colossus
Not all colossi have grand themes. The score for the battle above this mountain-bound lake is as subtle as the hidden currents beneath the water’s surface.
_
Revived Power: Battle with the Colossus
In stark contrast to Silence is this track. It is aptly named and gives you the strong feeling that victory is just ahead.
_
Demise of the Ritual: Battle with the Colossus
As melancholy as the game itself, this track from the battle against the final colossus seems to convey the feelings of a hero who has become darkly resolute.
