Never played the uncharted games personally. Did kinda like the almost 80's stadium rock sound you gave this song though. Nice work as always.

On this day, I finally enjoyed something of the Uncharted series. A testament is found here, that one need not necessarily (alliteration just for you, Gav) be a fan of a series to enjoy the music you make of it.

Well, i liked it! Something about it felt ... adventure-y. That`s the best word i can come up with to explain, and I´m pretty sure it`s not even a real word. But nonetheless: it felt adventure-y, or maybe adventure-ish. Haven`t played any Uncharted games either, but I´ve always wanted. Never really had the right console, tho. But I´ve seen enough trailers and gameplay videos to get the feeling that this song suits the game rather well.

And those video clips playing at the background while the song was playing made me want to play an Uncharted game even more.

Anyways, in conclusion, this song was very enjoyable. Well done again, Gavin!

I like it! I've never played the series, but it's always been obvious that it's a light-hearted adventure through numerous locales that's meant to be simple, yet very enjoyable, and, really, I think this song captured that.

I also found the ending section a nice surprise, as it came rather unexpectedly. This is because the rest of the song was very fast-paced and got the blood pumping,but the end managed to be reflective of the serenity of the beautiful environment the game possesses. I imagine this was your intention, as it seems like the kind of game where you can be swept up in the excitement of the action that, when one of the quieter moments pops up, like wandering the desert, it's unexpected and surprisingly enjoyable precisely because it contrasted what you just experienced.

Keep it up!

Really liked this one in general, the only bit I wasn't keen on were the lines "keep drifting, thieves drifting". Not sure what it was, it just kind of grated. Wish I could give you more useful criticism on it, but it's proabably just a matter of taste.

Good job, keep it up.

Been waiting for a song about Uncharted for quite some time. I'm happy to say i was not disappointed :D

The sound of the song felt great with the action of the series, and just like that somewhat haunting bit in the desert the end to the song it came unexpected, but was very much welcome!

Gotta say i love your lyrics, man. Just fits so perfect every time...

Only Nathan Drake could survive being dropped into the Rub Al Khali desert by finding an ancient town. I now like to imagine him mumbling this song to himself, gasping it between pants, as he stumbles through the desert.

...Or not. That would be awesome. I can hear the puns, either in the comments or the song, about his electric personality.

Now, I've never played the Uncharted games, but this would be awesome as the theme song of an animated Uncharted show. I don't know where I got that idea from, but it just feels like some TV theme song for me.

More like a Ratchet And Clank song!

You sir, have created another fantastic song.

This is my new favourite by far. Really fits with Uncharted.

SO GOOD! Excellent guitar riff, brilliant but simple bassline and it fits the game, also the guitars at the end sounded like they were from Devin Townsends Ocean Machine:Biomech.

Really liked this track, the powerful, reverberating vocals and the main riff (along with that very brief keyboard note on the end of it) on the verse, really give the song a vivacious kick. And I really like how the bass comes through on the chorus and the way you hold that guitar note in sync with the 'keeeep drifting, thieeeeeves drifting' which really feels like you're being spurred on, like you've made it this far, so you're not going to let things get the better of you now.

I concur, it did make think that Night was starting up for a second there. XD The outro was a very nice touch to this piece, the tranquil keyboards, Gav's chants in the background the background like an echo from afar makes you feel you've come to the end of a journey yet another is just about to begin. If I have one complaint it's that the riff at 0:16 that repeats throughout and the vocal pattern on: 'There are many secrets there to see, Fortunes in the shrouds of history' and 'Hunting for the stories long untold, Something undiscovered to behold.' etc. sounds a bit too similar to Wasteland Soul (though I do love that one, so I can't complain much :3). But other than that, it's a very nice track, keep up the good work. ^_^

You guys are ridiculously good at looking at a game and figuring out exactly what style of music captures it perfectly. The whole 80s rock thing is PERFECT for this series. Miracle of Sound never ceases to amaze me.

Doesn't conform perfectly to my experience of the game, but it feels like something Drake would listen to while driving to another adventure. It fits well.
