If I may throw a recommendation in the hat, anything from Enkonomia is beautifully haunting.
This might sound like a insane coincidence but there is actually a really well made fan animation named "Cyno vs Anubis and the Gods" by Kıeru featuring Across Dimming Asterism. This animation was featured in Hoyofair as well
I mentioned Inevitable conflict in other video because it's actually my favourite track from genshin + the enkaomiya battle themes Undersea Encounters and Combat Beneath the Waves. They are SO good and I never hear them because I don't have any reason to explore the Chasm nor Enkanomiya anymore TT
@@lotticello I often go to Liyue and Sumeru to chill and vibe, but I always forget about Enkanomiya. Maybe because I avoid Inazuma, that nation doesn't pass the vibe check.
I think he'd enjoy listening to Apep theme and three phases. How the music builds up from being de-synched to beautifully harmonized is so cool, the use of whistles of wind instruments carrying the melody higher until the triumphant end.
Yeah! Easily my favourite boss theme as well. Or one of my favourites, since I basically love all of them except the Narwahl (I just haven't really noticed much to grab me except the choir).
"you could dance to it" for Fontaine's main theme is quite correct especially when a character beautifully concucted her last dance on a version of this song. Overall musically speaking Fontaine is the best music for me cuz the music was so so well utilized in the storyline. I can re-feel all the emotions I felt, also the theme playing in the opera with the trials going. The story is so dark and mysterious, it's a whole ass spectacle, a performance (like, literally it is), and the music gives that feel. One of my favorite stories from any piece of media is the one Fontaine story and the music compliments it. (And no I'm not saying this cuz I'm french. I'm also Egyptian so yes I love Sumeru desert but still) Still vive la France and tahia masr
Across Dimming Asterisms is actually super super cool musically, being really accurate to how middle Eastern music is composed, with the scale (maqam) being formulated like they do there, and the time signatures definitely not lining up with modern western music! It's one of my favorite songs in the game, I wish it got more attention
Don't know if you'll want to do a part 3, but if you do please use some of enkanomiya and the chasm's music! I know they didn't quite fit into the way you organized this video because they aren't any of the main nations, but they have some fantastic pieces. Inevitable conflict is my personal favorite of them, but combat beneath the waves and even no turning back which is a remix of one of the first domain songs in the game might be fun for Dean to listen to since he's started playing and might recognize it. Thanks for making these videos they're so chill and your knowledge and passion for music makes them stand out from other channels :D
I'd suggest Hope or Nostalgia from Enkanomiya. I generally don't like the battle music there nearly as much as any other region but the BGM is fantastic. And Chasm is a masterpiece. Inevitable Conflict (and the non-battle version Stories of Remote Antiquity), Seething Animosity, and Irresistible Force & Tremor of Menace (can't really pick one) are my top 3 Chasm pieces/groups of pieces
you can group it as "forgotten past" group lol. If you dont mind spoiler then sorush's zone, eternal oasis, enka, chasm ... Even the ost in Ann's zone and ruu's song are great too. Would be fun if mr Friend can feel the pain/suffering through those
You wanted Mondstadt music, here you go. LOL I personally think where Mond music shines best is VERY exclusive areas of the region, relation-to-character themes & event cutscene music. 1.) Both Dawn Winery Theme (Day ver.) & Before Dawn, at the Winery (Night ver.) **(The one that plays when you walk outside in the vineyard.) 2.)Midday Prospects 3.) Whisper of Weinlesefest 4.) Ripples of Daydream 5.) Invitation of Windblume 6.) Lone Sojourner BONUS not Mond-music/Mond-related but not in-game, just cuz I wanna hear the reactions. LOL: 1.) Unfulfilled Aspirations (Dain Quest Pt.3 OST) 2.) Evening Luxury (Diluc & Fischl Outfit OST)
Jolts in the Forest, Inevitable Conflict, any and all boss themes (especially tartagles, Signora, Raiden's story boss, and God devouring mania), Euphoric Ride, and Embrace of Sea Waves are my recommendations to show him next! I could listen to Inevitable Conflict all day every day and never get sick of it.
Ok I mostly agree about mondstat's music but rite of battle slaps, especially towards the end. These videos are fun as heck, I also like trying to get my friends into genshin music because hoyo is just a music company funded by gacha lol Not mad about the sumeru forest music being not liked, just disappointed... jk jk it's a matter of personal taste, a lot of the instrumentation is more familiar which makes my brain happy but that specific desert theme is honestly one of the best. Also fontaine and the 1-2-3 with the lower strings doing 2-3 gives me so much orchestra ptsd, fontaine is so waltzy. I can't tell if I like it or it's the Stockholm talking If your friend isn't sick of this, I say next round is something from enkanomiya, the chasm, and some other inazuma island (idk why they went and gave every island its own set of songs, how'd they get the time-). Tbh I'm also kinda interested in seeing how he'd feel about the dragonspine battle theme...
You're on point on the Rachmaninoff part, since the composer *"yu peng chen"* was so into his work that he even made a message for him in the form of a composition
Fun fact, the Sumeru battle theme is built around the fibonacci sequence which is like the most fitting thing ever Anyway how about the enkanomiya and chasm battle themes?
31:15 Fun fact: there is a fan-made cyno animation called Pactsword Pantheon by KIERU on UA-cam where he fights against Anubis and the gods, using the same OST.
The Genshin Music never fails to make me emotional! The regional music was always one of my favorites! The Fontaine and Sumeru themes are great! Oh and Genshin Impact UA-cam account have great videos on it with the orchestras! Not to mention Scara's Boss Theme with an Opera singer!
You could also check Mondstadt's battle theme "Photon of Fluctuation". You probably don't like it a lot, but you can't deny its importance in the OST as a whole, since its base is used in several songs thoughout the nations.
Simba, everywhere Photon of Fluctuation is present in falls under the light of the Seven. What about those shadowy places where that motif is missing? That s beyond our borders. You must never go there, Simba.
If you do another video pls consider Jolts in the Forest, God-Devouring Mania and Saltatio Favilae for mini/weekly-boss themes! Some other great battle themes are Inevitable Conflict, Irresistable Force, and Thunderings of the Merciless! Gilded Runner and Where Dreams Putrify are a little calmer but I think they're interesting! All of the titular region themes are so good, Idk if Mondstadt has one, but 'Liyue', 'Inazuma' and 'Sumeru' are all super good along with 'Fontaine' of course.
Love your reaction to the Port Ormos themes!! Very deserved!!! I'd love to recommend some other Sumeru themes with more vibes vibes!: "God-Devouring Mania" -HIGHLY REcOMMEND ; Apep Sumeru desert boss fight theme "Halcyon Times" - tavern music "Before the Light fades" - Withering zone battle theme 3 And it's absolutely beautiful that the Sumeru desert brought us some of the most ethereal music as well: "Maidens of Sanctity"
Dunno if you're still taking recommendations, but anything from Tsurumi Island would be perfect. Specifically Fading Memories. It's just so haunting and sad. I still go to the island just to hear it play.
You should definitely show him the chasm ost, mainly the one that plays in the nail area, and how it transitions from exploration to battle music! also, the lettuce chicken boss is the only one that has a particular song and its so good too! Some of my fav songs are Desert Lullaby, Pensees tranquilles (a song from the recent summer area), Dvalins nest songs , midday prospects (this one was played during a cutscene during the first updates of the game and it made me so emotional and still does to this day), and well, the chasm underground songs like impending danger or inevitable conflict! I had fun watching!
I love seeing your reactions to the genshin music! I would love for you two to listen to my favorite battle themes: "Jolts in the Forest", "Inevitable Conflict" or "No turning back" They are absolute PEAK!
31:15 Kinda surprising he thought of Cyno here, especially since the only time this theme has been used with him is the 3.1 version trailer, which I don't think he's seen.
he seemed to really like cyno's theme in the first episode and also enjoyed his trailer in the second one so he probably kept him in mind as the "anubis desert guy"
If you guys are up for another part I have a few suggestions: You could listen to chasm and enkanomiya music especially inevitable conflict from chasm and combat beneath the waves from enkanomiya. From sumeru i would suggest main sumeru theme. Either way another great video. You guys are actually very fun to watch.
Glad to have come across your channel. Since there is always more great Genshin music to check out, I have a few nuggets I´d love Dean to have a listen to. Across the bank, to cover more different corners of Genshin, some of those would be: God-Devouering Mania, Moon in One´s Cup, Gilded Runner , La vaguelette and Bane of Ambitions. Hope you keep having a blast!
Look, I play a lot of genshin but with all the sound effects and stuff going on I barely pay attention to the music. Watching these videos makes me realize what I miss. And also you're making a great job, hopefully I catch you up on stream ° . °
@@midnashadow8439 plus, I hate that the songs are really good but you just finish the battle too quick, like in "Lamentation et Triomphe" gotta be one of my fav songs but not a single fight lasts for more than 30s because my characters are too strong. But hey, having these while clearing the abyss is awesome.

i love these videos so much and its so interesting to listen to what the both of you have to say!! i hope you'll do a pt.3, and if you do, please consider including some enkanomiya osts!!
Second phase of Andrius BGM is heavily inspired by Mozart's Lacrimosa. It's my favorite Mondstadt track. My favorite thing about music in Genshin in general is how in Chasm all background tracks have two versions, a peaceful one and a battle one and when you get into battle, the peaceful BGM seamlessly transitions into the battle one and then back when the battle ends. It's the same tracks, just more epic when in battle.
yall need to react to the narzissenkruz ordo theme (theres a version with vocals thats absolutely gorgeous). original i believe is called "Nymphs Tea Party" another beautiful soundtrack for underwater is "marscesant floret"
As an Indian, I love Port Ormos' theme so much. It caught me off guard when I first heard it in game because of just how good it is and how...idk...authentic it feels? Makes me wanna dance every time
I'm so disappointed you didn't show Duel in the mist live action recording for the visual, that was a fckin masterpiece. Next video please react to all the music that has live performance recording please, those talented artist need to be seen
If Mondstadt ambient music is something you wanna talk about then I've got a few recs. - A New Day with Hope - Wind-Washed Mountains and Midday Prospects. (One builds into the next so it'd be nice to listen to in sequence. It's also how the songs played in the one cutscene that Midday Prospects plays in back in the 1.1 event.)
If you ever do another part to this I would love to see you guys cover wrath of never-ending performance/monoceros caeli! I think its a little slept on because of how crazy the newer boss themes are, but its still incredibly composed! Awesome content, I love seeing people appreciate the games incredible ost!
there probably is credits with names on CN music sites that hoyo regularly upload on. I know this bc sometimes ppl post credits and new trailer musics from hoyo on youtube by downloading it on there. But... i forgot what was the name for it
glad to see a reaction of rage beneath the mountains, I've always wanted to see a reaction on that considering how much it judt gets better with each section. in general, liyue music is just unmatched in my opinion. and I'm also glad that this oen featured less demos and more stuff from the game. don't get me wrong, demo music is great, but I feel like too much of the last video was stuff you never actually hear in the game. that said, the amount of inazuma music heard was pretty underwhelming. both times actually, you only did one in both videos. of course for inazuma there's the usual recommendations, the area main theme, battle themes, boss themes, demo themes... but a really good one I'd recommend giving a listen is sorrows of strays. it's an ambient theme, but it's so good. it's use of the flute is just so gorgeous. also, hearing some enkanomiya stuff would be great. obviously the battle themes are amazing, but a great ambient track is at dawn and dusk. of course, you don't *need* to include ambient tracks in a potential third video... but I recommend atleast listening to them. I imagine you probably haven't, because who even goes through the hundreds of ambient tracks this game has just to find one good one? me, I did. I heard some of these themes in the game once, and I HAD to listen to them again. it was painful trying to find the ones I liked, but I did it.
Wrathful streaming gold is another amazing desert battle theme! The end is so exciting to listen to Whirling of leaves and petals is also really good (also Sumeru) No Turning Back is the battle theme in Enkanomiya for the bathysmal Vishaps but it’s a remix of Mondstadt’s beats of water drops PLEASE LISTEN TO INEVITABLE CONFLICT AND STORIES OF REMOTE ANTIQUITY
The Genshin Fandom Wiki credits Qian Ding as the composer of Lamentations et Triomphe. In terms of Mondstadt music, I think people overlook it because it's by far the most familiar in style to anyone with even a passing knowledge of classical music. The uncharitable would describe it as 'safe', yet some of my favourite music in Genshin is from Monstadt, in particular 'Midday Prospects' and 'The Edge of the Prairie'.
If you’ll do another part of this, some of my favorites are Thoughts and Prayers and Golden Crescent from Sumeru! A good 4-star theme is Thoma’s Devotion of the Keeper. As someone else mentioned, Inevitable Conflict from the Chasm is also really good.
Just wanted to say that if you want to find specific composer names you can look up the name of the track in the wiki, and you'll find them. I'll list the composers for this video 3:39 (Andrius Phase One) Whirl of Boreal Wind - Yu-Peng Chen (composer) 7:19 (Andrius Phase Two) Symphony of Boreal Wind - Yu-Peng Chen (composer) 13:09 (Liyue Battle Theme) Chasing the Torrents - Yu-Peng Chen (composer) 17:26 (Azhdaha Phase Two) Rage beneath the Mountains - Yu-Peng Chen (composer) 21:17 (Inazuma Battle Theme) Duel in the Mist - Yu-Peng Chen (composer) ------- So until this point, besides in stellar moment albums, there was no distinction between composer and arranger. In the main region albums until Inazuma's first album Yu-Peng Chen was the sole composer. But his student, Dimeng Yuan was arranging his compositions in the stellar moment tracks as far back as Fishcl's theme (Sieh an, mein Sommernachtgarten!). He and few other students, started composing and arranging from the Enkanomiya soundtrack and thats when the distinction between composer and arranger appeared in the main region albums. No idea what this means, theories are he (Yu-Peng Chen) may have made the leitmotif and the students then arranged the song based on it, but theres no official info, to my knowledge. 25:40 (Sumeru Battle Theme (Forest)) Swirls of the Stream - Yu-Peng Chen (composer & arranger) 30:21 (Sumeru Desert Boss Theme) Across Dimming Asterisms - Yijun Jiang (composer & arranger) 34:50 (Fontaine Main Theme) Fontaine - Dimeng Yuan (composer & arranger) 39:42 (Fontaine Battle Theme) Lamentation et Triomphe - Qian Ding (composer & arranger) 44:57 (PORT ORMOS DAY) Hustle and Bustle of Ormos - Yu-Peng Chen (composer & arranger) 46:46 (PORT ORMOS NIGHT) End of the Feast - Yu-Peng Chen (composer & arranger) 49:19 (Fishcl Summer Event Domain Theme) Die Mittsommernacht-Fantasie - Yijun Jiang, Yu-Peng Chen (composers) , Yijun Jiang (arranger) Added Timestamps from @cilm234 (just for ease)
idk if youll do a part 3 but i think one of the most underrated themes (probably bc youll only ever hear it once ingame :')) is Before the Light Fades, the marana world quest boss theme! idk if its as exciting as the other themes but if you guys enjoy the more drum n bass/dubstep/break stuff (im bad w music terms sry) then maybe youll like this one?
really enjoy your chill vibe and i appreciate insightful comments on the music! also, if dean wants to see cyno vs ozymandias fan animation with across dimming asterism playing, definitely check out pactsworn pantheon! it's exactly that except it's vs anubis and not ozy lol
So, on your call for Mondstadt songs, some of my favorites are slower and more atmospheric. "Midday Prospects" is probably my favorite, with "A New Day With Hope" being a close second. Also, "Tender Strength" is cheesy but well done. Also, if I were to throw a random couple of recommendations at you, I would say "Maidens of Sanctity" from Sumeru and "Throughout the Flow of Years" from Fontaine. If you're curious about specific credits, the site VGMDB has all of the credits listed for all of HoYo-MiX's albums. They're VERY thorough. And lastly, though it's probably a bit early to look at the concerts, that may be something to keep in mind for the future. (I'm a bit salty about how they seem to be getting shorter every year and yet keep playing the older tracks because I'd really like to hear the newer music played at least once rather than the older music for the upteenth time, but I digress) The upcoming concert on the 22nd might be one to eye as its short and seems to be focusing on well-known pieces and is being presented in a very visually distinct way. Though the first concert (2021) focuses entirely on early game music, and thus is more relatable to a newer player, it's also very, VERY dense and is thus long. The 2022 concert is a bit shorter and covers the spectrum more widely, and also has some BANGER covers. I've been enjoying the journey you've been taking with these, and yes, as someone else said, the background in music is a huge plus. You can appreciate them more for what they are and also have greater insight into the different aspects that comprise them. I look forward to whatever you continue to make!
When I clicked on the video I anticipated another basic react video between 2 friends where it's just a bunch of "music good, insert silly comment here", what I did not anticipate were insightful comments from someone who clearly knows what they're talking about yet that is what it is! Looking forward to seeing more and interested in Dean's Genshin journey now! Also, shoutout to whoever recommended that desert battle theme! imo one of the most underappreciated battle themes in the game and I'm glad you like it. I think it's because it only plays for desert underground and one overworld boss, but unfortunately a lot of people skipped desert underground
My favourite thing about the port ormos theme is cause its so authentic and me me feel so at home as someone from india, like kost of the other rain forest themes use modren instruments along with the traditional but port ormos theme i could feel the indian barzars in it
I personally fell in love with 2 particular OSTs, one actually being from Mondstadt; another one is from Sumeru. The one from Mondstadt is called "A New Day With Hope" and it reminds me a lot of "C418 - Sweden" vibe wise. Genshin is not that old, but the moment I hear that song I'm immediately struck with an immense amount of nostalgia and good memories. I might prefer it over the song from Minecraft actually. It's just that good for me. And another one is called "For Riddles, for Wonders", but you should be familiar with it already I think.
Mondstadt eye catching music (some are very short): Dawn Winery Theme, Caelestinum Finale Termini, A Sweet Smile, Angel's Share, An Interesting Labour, Cold Night, Tender Strength, Photon of Fluctuation (especially this one, because many battle/demo/event tracks of Genshin are variations of Photon)
Three underrated themes that i would highly recommend: The outlander who caught the wind (the first genshin trailer the me, forgotten in time) Treasury from the Northland (the Northern Bank theme, forgotten since we only are forced to go there like 3 times during the archon quest, but truly a banger that captures the grandiosity of the Fatui and Liyue's external politics) Combat beneath the waves (sadly forgotten since no one really cares about Enkanomiya anymore, but when it dropped it was considered an absolute banger alongside the rest of Enkanomiya OST, if you think "sometimes less is better" you should definitely hear this one)
I think the normal battle theme, the last one you guys listened to, kinda plays like a silly fantastical story book which has its one stupid twists and turns. I love it so much lol.
For mondstadt the first music that I ever stopped to listen to (from the whole game) was just Pure Sky, it's neither epic or badass but really the beauty and nostalgic aspect for it caught my attention
I remember ripping through those hour-long OST comp vids like a maniac trying to find it, the melody is so pulled back and simple yet kind of profound?? It's my fave Mond track
Mondstadt has dawn winery theme and a lot of stormterror lair's osts are amazing I especially like the one that's playing when it's raining naer the top of the tower.
From monstand "A Storm, A Spire, and A Sanctum" is the best one imo. Some other bangers i would suggest: -No Turning Back (enkanomiya battle theme #3) -Halcyon Times (sumeru tabern) -Silent Starry Night (sumeru city at night i think) -Wind of Tranquility (Night) (Aaru Village, sumeru) -Sigh of an Old Friend (inazuma's narukami shrine) -Symposion of Spectacle (fontaine's cafeteria)
Ha, the composer has not been listed for that piece because they have not officially released it yet. It was just the demo so far. We have to wait till they do the entire mix.

How nobody mentioned Inevitable conflict? I love this ost so much, definitely my favourite one from the chasm
It slaps so hard and they nailed it in their latest concert
YES YES YES!!! One I never skip when it shoes up on my playlist.
I mentioned Inevitable conflict in other video because it's actually my favourite track from genshin + the enkaomiya battle themes Undersea Encounters and Combat Beneath the Waves. They are SO good and I never hear them because I don't have any reason to explore the Chasm nor Enkanomiya anymore TT
@@lotticello I often go to Liyue and Sumeru to chill and vibe, but I always forget about Enkanomiya. Maybe because I avoid Inazuma, that nation doesn't pass the vibe check.
They should listen to Stories of antiquity with it (first). I love both ❤
I think he'd enjoy listening to Apep theme and three phases. How the music builds up from being de-synched to beautifully harmonized is so cool, the use of whistles of wind instruments carrying the melody higher until the triumphant end.
Yeah! Easily my favourite boss theme as well. Or one of my favourites, since I basically love all of them except the Narwahl (I just haven't really noticed much to grab me except the choir).
"you could dance to it" for Fontaine's main theme is quite correct especially when a character beautifully concucted her last dance on a version of this song. Overall musically speaking Fontaine is the best music for me cuz the music was so so well utilized in the storyline. I can re-feel all the emotions I felt, also the theme playing in the opera with the trials going. The story is so dark and mysterious, it's a whole ass spectacle, a performance (like, literally it is), and the music gives that feel. One of my favorite stories from any piece of media is the one Fontaine story and the music compliments it.
(And no I'm not saying this cuz I'm french. I'm also Egyptian so yes I love Sumeru desert but still)
Still vive la France and tahia masr
Je commente juste pour dire vive la France mdr
Youhou vive la Fronce (haha)
Across Dimming Asterisms is actually super super cool musically, being really accurate to how middle Eastern music is composed, with the scale (maqam) being formulated like they do there, and the time signatures definitely not lining up with modern western music! It's one of my favorite songs in the game, I wish it got more attention
I AM SO GLAD HE HEARD RAGE BENEATH THE MOUNTAINS OH MY GOD
Sometimes, f*ck it, more is more
I love his reaction to the Fontaine battle theme😭😭😭😭
For monstadt I think Dvalin boss theme is actually very good
Also storm terror lair playlist is so good
There's also Midday Prospects which is from Leonard's cutscene, but a very similar ost plays in Mondstadt
also fischl's domain theme : die mittsommernacht fantasie
very good
edit: i just relize he already did
beat off water drop also quite good
That's probably controversial, but one of my favourite Mondstadt songs is Dragonspine's theme.
Don't know if you'll want to do a part 3, but if you do please use some of enkanomiya and the chasm's music! I know they didn't quite fit into the way you organized this video because they aren't any of the main nations, but they have some fantastic pieces. Inevitable conflict is my personal favorite of them, but combat beneath the waves and even no turning back which is a remix of one of the first domain songs in the game might be fun for Dean to listen to since he's started playing and might recognize it. Thanks for making these videos they're so chill and your knowledge and passion for music makes them stand out from other channels :D
Tysm omg😭
I'd suggest Hope or Nostalgia from Enkanomiya. I generally don't like the battle music there nearly as much as any other region but the BGM is fantastic. And Chasm is a masterpiece. Inevitable Conflict (and the non-battle version Stories of Remote Antiquity), Seething Animosity, and Irresistible Force & Tremor of Menace (can't really pick one) are my top 3 Chasm pieces/groups of pieces
you can group it as "forgotten past" group lol. If you dont mind spoiler then sorush's zone, eternal oasis, enka, chasm ... Even the ost in Ann's zone and ruu's song are great too. Would be fun if mr Friend can feel the pain/suffering through those
I'm late but the lead composer of the Fontaine stuff is Dimeng Yuan with the orchestra being London Symphony Orchestra
You wanted Mondstadt music, here you go. LOL
I personally think where Mond music shines best is VERY exclusive areas of the region, relation-to-character themes & event cutscene music.
1.) Both Dawn Winery Theme (Day ver.) & Before Dawn, at the Winery (Night ver.)
**(The one that plays when you walk outside in the vineyard.)
2.)Midday Prospects
3.) Whisper of Weinlesefest
4.) Ripples of Daydream
5.) Invitation of Windblume
6.) Lone Sojourner
BONUS not Mond-music/Mond-related but not in-game, just cuz I wanna hear the reactions. LOL:
1.) Unfulfilled Aspirations (Dain Quest Pt.3 OST)
2.) Evening Luxury (Diluc & Fischl Outfit OST)
Jolts in the Forest, Inevitable Conflict, any and all boss themes (especially tartagles, Signora, Raiden's story boss, and God devouring mania), Euphoric Ride, and Embrace of Sea Waves are my recommendations to show him next! I could listen to Inevitable Conflict all day every day and never get sick of it.
The fontaine theme always makes me emotional now
It gives me Harry Potter vibes don't know why!!
Same... it makes me want to cry.
@@imranhechaichi9746 its the magician energy haha
You're a wizard @@imranhechaichi9746
Ok I mostly agree about mondstat's music but rite of battle slaps, especially towards the end.
These videos are fun as heck, I also like trying to get my friends into genshin music because hoyo is just a music company funded by gacha lol
Not mad about the sumeru forest music being not liked, just disappointed... jk jk it's a matter of personal taste, a lot of the instrumentation is more familiar which makes my brain happy but that specific desert theme is honestly one of the best.
Also fontaine and the 1-2-3 with the lower strings doing 2-3 gives me so much orchestra ptsd, fontaine is so waltzy. I can't tell if I like it or it's the Stockholm talking
If your friend isn't sick of this, I say next round is something from enkanomiya, the chasm, and some other inazuma island (idk why they went and gave every island its own set of songs, how'd they get the time-). Tbh I'm also kinda interested in seeing how he'd feel about the dragonspine battle theme...
the genshin ost is just phenomenal
You're on point on the Rachmaninoff part, since the composer *"yu peng chen"* was so into his work that he even made a message for him in the form of a composition
Next time you should totally show all phases of La Signora's Battle Theme! To this day I think is one of the best composed boss music in the game
Fun fact, the Sumeru battle theme is built around the fibonacci sequence which is like the most fitting thing ever
Anyway how about the enkanomiya and chasm battle themes?
Wait are you serious LOL
@@jacenstuff Yup, saw someone break it down completely into the segments back when it first came out
31:15 Fun fact: there is a fan-made cyno animation called Pactsword Pantheon by KIERU on UA-cam where he fights against Anubis and the gods, using the same OST.
yea i have seen that one
The Genshin Music never fails to make me emotional! The regional music was always one of my favorites! The Fontaine and Sumeru themes are great!
Oh and Genshin Impact UA-cam account have great videos on it with the orchestras! Not to mention Scara's Boss Theme with an Opera singer!
Yeah, Port ormos daytime can easily catch you off-guard with that beat drop and the ending
I’m glad y’all listened port ormos 💕
You could also check Mondstadt's battle theme "Photon of Fluctuation". You probably don't like it a lot, but you can't deny its importance in the OST as a whole, since its base is used in several songs thoughout the nations.
Simba, everywhere Photon of Fluctuation is present in falls under the light of the Seven.
What about those shadowy places where that motif is missing?
That s beyond our borders. You must never go there, Simba.
Your friend needs to react to gilded runner a sumeru theme that is insane (in a good way) and reminds me a lot of port ormos in its intensity :D
If you do another video pls consider Jolts in the Forest, God-Devouring Mania and Saltatio Favilae for mini/weekly-boss themes! Some other great battle themes are Inevitable Conflict, Irresistable Force, and Thunderings of the Merciless! Gilded Runner and Where Dreams Putrify are a little calmer but I think they're interesting! All of the titular region themes are so good, Idk if Mondstadt has one, but 'Liyue', 'Inazuma' and 'Sumeru' are all super good along with 'Fontaine' of course.
Love your reaction to the Port Ormos themes!! Very deserved!!!
I'd love to recommend some other Sumeru themes with more vibes vibes!:
"God-Devouring Mania" -HIGHLY REcOMMEND ; Apep Sumeru desert boss fight theme
"Halcyon Times" - tavern music
"Before the Light fades" - Withering zone battle theme 3
And it's absolutely beautiful that the Sumeru desert brought us some of the most ethereal music as well: "Maidens of Sanctity"
Dunno if you're still taking recommendations, but anything from Tsurumi Island would be perfect. Specifically Fading Memories. It's just so haunting and sad. I still go to the island just to hear it play.
signora's battle themes are so iconic and maybe add some underwater fontaine music too :)
if this little series gets continued i highly suggest "Saltatio Favillae" La Signora's 2nd phase theme :]
You should definitely show him the chasm ost, mainly the one that plays in the nail area, and how it transitions from exploration to battle music! also, the lettuce chicken boss is the only one that has a particular song and its so good too!
Some of my fav songs are Desert Lullaby, Pensees tranquilles (a song from the recent summer area), Dvalins nest songs , midday prospects (this one was played during a cutscene during the first updates of the game and it made me so emotional and still does to this day), and well, the chasm underground songs like impending danger or inevitable conflict!
I had fun watching!
41:46 Lamentation Et Triomphe's composer is listed as Qian Ding (丁谦) :3!
26:07 I really dig youtubers who do post-video edit/notes lol. Keep doing what you do best mate! :DDD
Great vid! Could I recommend Enkonomia battle theme? It's one of my favorite ost in the game
I love seeing your reactions to the genshin music! I would love for you two to listen to my favorite battle themes: "Jolts in the Forest", "Inevitable Conflict" or "No turning back" They are absolute PEAK!
31:15 Kinda surprising he thought of Cyno here, especially since the only time this theme has been used with him is the 3.1 version trailer, which I don't think he's seen.
he seemed to really like cyno's theme in the first episode and also enjoyed his trailer in the second one so he probably kept him in mind as the "anubis desert guy"
If you guys are up for another part I have a few suggestions:
You could listen to chasm and enkanomiya music especially inevitable conflict from chasm and combat beneath the waves from enkanomiya.
From sumeru i would suggest main sumeru theme.
Either way another great video. You guys are actually very fun to watch.
Sumeru desert battle theme aghhh the oud and the heavy guitar together part is hella cool😭🔥🔥
Glad to have come across your channel. Since there is always more great Genshin music to check out, I have a few nuggets I´d love Dean to have a listen to. Across the bank, to cover more different corners of Genshin, some of those would be: God-Devouering Mania, Moon in One´s Cup, Gilded Runner , La vaguelette and Bane of Ambitions. Hope you keep having a blast!
Look, I play a lot of genshin but with all the sound effects and stuff going on I barely pay attention to the music. Watching these videos makes me realize what I miss. And also you're making a great job, hopefully I catch you up on stream ° . °
I know!! With all the sounds on top of the music, you don’t really appreciate it, like Andrius’s theme actually shocked me how good it was!
Tysm🥲
@@midnashadow8439 plus, I hate that the songs are really good but you just finish the battle too quick, like in "Lamentation et Triomphe" gotta be one of my fav songs but not a single fight lasts for more than 30s because my characters are too strong. But hey, having these while clearing the abyss is awesome.
@@ognamesweretaken5836me with Across dimming Asterisms. I literally just ran around from mushrooms as my shield bot Zhongli just to listen to all of it
@@ognamesweretaken5836 Unless there is that one enemy stuck on the cliff that's a nightmare to kill.

@@jacenstuff
PART 3 WHEN
i love these videos so much and its so interesting to listen to what the both of you have to say!! i hope you'll do a pt.3, and if you do, please consider including some enkanomiya osts!!
Second phase of Andrius BGM is heavily inspired by Mozart's Lacrimosa. It's my favorite Mondstadt track.
My favorite thing about music in Genshin in general is how in Chasm all background tracks have two versions, a peaceful one and a battle one and when you get into battle, the peaceful BGM seamlessly transitions into the battle one and then back when the battle ends. It's the same tracks, just more epic when in battle.
31:15 I mean, theres Cyno vs. Anubis and other Egyptian gods animation by KIERU u can check out. Coincidentally, they use the same soundtrack for this
The Devantaka mountain themes always get buried under the Port Ormos themes.
It's sad. (pun intended)
For monstadt there's storm terror lair playlist music and diluc&fischl skin trailer
yall need to react to the narzissenkruz ordo theme (theres a version with vocals thats absolutely gorgeous). original i believe is called "Nymphs Tea Party" another beautiful soundtrack for underwater is "marscesant floret"
YEEEES! Die Mittsommernacht Fantasie is so good!
I love your videos can’t wait for the next one 👍🏻
As an Indian, I love Port Ormos' theme so much. It caught me off guard when I first heard it in game because of just how good it is and how...idk...authentic it feels? Makes me wanna dance every time
You should show him some Dragonspine themes. They are so underrated.
Anyway, Amazing video!
That album title made me chuckle LMAO *SAND? UNFATHOMABLE!*
Need the chasm battle theme when you are fighting the serpant knights in the Dain quest
I'm so disappointed you didn't show Duel in the mist live action recording for the visual, that was a fckin masterpiece. Next video please react to all the music that has live performance recording please, those talented artist need to be seen
Halcyon Times, is another cool song from sumeru.
If Mondstadt ambient music is something you wanna talk about then I've got a few recs.
- A New Day with Hope
- Wind-Washed Mountains and Midday Prospects.
(One builds into the next so it'd be nice to listen to in sequence. It's also how the songs played in the one cutscene that Midday Prospects plays in back in the 1.1 event.)
okay first of all that pichu jacket is awesome and second of all great reaction as always!
If you ever do another part to this I would love to see you guys cover wrath of never-ending performance/monoceros caeli! I think its a little slept on because of how crazy the newer boss themes are, but its still incredibly composed!
Awesome content, I love seeing people appreciate the games incredible ost!
if u do part three, i def recommend furina's story quest song! it's become one of my faves!!
You and me both:)
there probably is credits with names on CN music sites that hoyo regularly upload on. I know this bc sometimes ppl post credits and new trailer musics from hoyo on youtube by downloading it on there. But... i forgot what was the name for it
God bless Aijina (for the recommendation of the Desert combat theme❤)
You need to do devotion of the keeper if you do this again, its my personal favorit and hits so different
glad to see a reaction of rage beneath the mountains, I've always wanted to see a reaction on that considering how much it judt gets better with each section. in general, liyue music is just unmatched in my opinion. and I'm also glad that this oen featured less demos and more stuff from the game. don't get me wrong, demo music is great, but I feel like too much of the last video was stuff you never actually hear in the game.
that said, the amount of inazuma music heard was pretty underwhelming. both times actually, you only did one in both videos.
of course for inazuma there's the usual recommendations, the area main theme, battle themes, boss themes, demo themes... but a really good one I'd recommend giving a listen is sorrows of strays. it's an ambient theme, but it's so good. it's use of the flute is just so gorgeous.
also, hearing some enkanomiya stuff would be great. obviously the battle themes are amazing, but a great ambient track is at dawn and dusk.
of course, you don't *need* to include ambient tracks in a potential third video... but I recommend atleast listening to them. I imagine you probably haven't, because who even goes through the hundreds of ambient tracks this game has just to find one good one?
me, I did. I heard some of these themes in the game once, and I HAD to listen to them again. it was painful trying to find the ones I liked, but I did it.
Wrathful streaming gold is another amazing desert battle theme! The end is so exciting to listen to
Whirling of leaves and petals is also really good (also Sumeru)
No Turning Back is the battle theme in Enkanomiya for the bathysmal Vishaps but it’s a remix of Mondstadt’s beats of water drops
PLEASE LISTEN TO INEVITABLE CONFLICT AND STORIES OF REMOTE ANTIQUITY
"Virelai des marees" Is a must hear
The Genshin Fandom Wiki credits Qian Ding as the composer of Lamentations et Triomphe.
In terms of Mondstadt music, I think people overlook it because it's by far the most familiar in style to anyone with even a passing knowledge of classical music. The uncharitable would describe it as 'safe', yet some of my favourite music in Genshin is from Monstadt, in particular 'Midday Prospects' and 'The Edge of the Prairie'.
The port ormos day theme is just universally liked, it’s just THAT good, whoever cooked it should do it again bc godDAMN
If you’ll do another part of this, some of my favorites are Thoughts and Prayers and Golden Crescent from Sumeru! A good 4-star theme is Thoma’s Devotion of the Keeper. As someone else mentioned, Inevitable Conflict from the Chasm is also really good.
Just wanted to say that if you want to find specific composer names you can look up the name of the track in the wiki, and you'll find them. I'll list the composers for this video
3:39 (Andrius Phase One) Whirl of Boreal Wind - Yu-Peng Chen (composer)
7:19 (Andrius Phase Two) Symphony of Boreal Wind - Yu-Peng Chen (composer)
13:09 (Liyue Battle Theme) Chasing the Torrents - Yu-Peng Chen (composer)
17:26 (Azhdaha Phase Two) Rage beneath the Mountains - Yu-Peng Chen (composer)
21:17 (Inazuma Battle Theme) Duel in the Mist - Yu-Peng Chen (composer)
------- So until this point, besides in stellar moment albums, there was no distinction between composer and arranger. In the main region albums until Inazuma's first album Yu-Peng Chen was the sole composer. But his student, Dimeng Yuan was arranging his compositions in the stellar moment tracks as far back as Fishcl's theme (Sieh an, mein Sommernachtgarten!). He and few other students, started composing and arranging from the Enkanomiya soundtrack and thats when the distinction between composer and arranger appeared in the main region albums. No idea what this means, theories are he (Yu-Peng Chen) may have made the leitmotif and the students then arranged the song based on it, but theres no official info, to my knowledge.
25:40 (Sumeru Battle Theme (Forest)) Swirls of the Stream - Yu-Peng Chen (composer & arranger)
30:21 (Sumeru Desert Boss Theme) Across Dimming Asterisms - Yijun Jiang (composer & arranger)
34:50 (Fontaine Main Theme) Fontaine - Dimeng Yuan (composer & arranger)
39:42 (Fontaine Battle Theme) Lamentation et Triomphe - Qian Ding (composer & arranger)
44:57 (PORT ORMOS DAY) Hustle and Bustle of Ormos - Yu-Peng Chen (composer & arranger)
46:46 (PORT ORMOS NIGHT) End of the Feast - Yu-Peng Chen (composer & arranger)
49:19 (Fishcl Summer Event Domain Theme) Die Mittsommernacht-Fantasie - Yijun Jiang, Yu-Peng Chen (composers) , Yijun Jiang (arranger)
Added Timestamps from @cilm234 (just for ease)
idk if youll do a part 3 but i think one of the most underrated themes (probably bc youll only ever hear it once ingame :')) is Before the Light Fades, the marana world quest boss theme! idk if its as exciting as the other themes but if you guys enjoy the more drum n bass/dubstep/break stuff (im bad w music terms sry) then maybe youll like this one?
really enjoy your chill vibe and i appreciate insightful comments on the music!
also, if dean wants to see cyno vs ozymandias fan animation with across dimming asterism playing, definitely check out pactsworn pantheon! it's exactly that except it's vs anubis and not ozy lol
So, on your call for Mondstadt songs, some of my favorites are slower and more atmospheric. "Midday Prospects" is probably my favorite, with "A New Day With Hope" being a close second. Also, "Tender Strength" is cheesy but well done.
Also, if I were to throw a random couple of recommendations at you, I would say "Maidens of Sanctity" from Sumeru and "Throughout the Flow of Years" from Fontaine.
If you're curious about specific credits, the site VGMDB has all of the credits listed for all of HoYo-MiX's albums. They're VERY thorough.
And lastly, though it's probably a bit early to look at the concerts, that may be something to keep in mind for the future. (I'm a bit salty about how they seem to be getting shorter every year and yet keep playing the older tracks because I'd really like to hear the newer music played at least once rather than the older music for the upteenth time, but I digress) The upcoming concert on the 22nd might be one to eye as its short and seems to be focusing on well-known pieces and is being presented in a very visually distinct way. Though the first concert (2021) focuses entirely on early game music, and thus is more relatable to a newer player, it's also very, VERY dense and is thus long. The 2022 concert is a bit shorter and covers the spectrum more widely, and also has some BANGER covers.
I've been enjoying the journey you've been taking with these, and yes, as someone else said, the background in music is a huge plus. You can appreciate them more for what they are and also have greater insight into the different aspects that comprise them. I look forward to whatever you continue to make!
31:15 Now i want to see a video where he react to that one Cyno fan animation where Across dimming Asterisms actually does play
When I clicked on the video I anticipated another basic react video between 2 friends where it's just a bunch of "music good, insert silly comment here", what I did not anticipate were insightful comments from someone who clearly knows what they're talking about yet that is what it is! Looking forward to seeing more and interested in Dean's Genshin journey now!
Also, shoutout to whoever recommended that desert battle theme! imo one of the most underappreciated battle themes in the game and I'm glad you like it. I think it's because it only plays for desert underground and one overworld boss, but unfortunately a lot of people skipped desert underground
it has been noted that the Symphony of Boreal Wind (aka Andrius' theme) is reminiscent of Mozart's Requiem
"Inveitable Conflict" (Chasm) is still my favorite song in Genshin. Some of the Enkanomiya songs come really close though.
I love these videos sm omg haha. We need a reaction to all the 4 star character demos :)
I think Signora's boss theme also deserves attention!
Also there's the side regions like dragonspine, enkanomiya , and the chasm
Damn, that desert boss theme is one of my favorites in the game, thx for including it!
OMG U ACTUALLY LISTENED TO THEM LESSGOOOO
My favourite thing about the port ormos theme is cause its so authentic and me me feel so at home as someone from india, like kost of the other rain forest themes use modren instruments along with the traditional but port ormos theme i could feel the indian barzars in it
I personally fell in love with 2 particular OSTs, one actually being from Mondstadt; another one is from Sumeru.
The one from Mondstadt is called "A New Day With Hope" and it reminds me a lot of "C418 - Sweden" vibe wise. Genshin is not that old, but the moment I hear that song I'm immediately struck with an immense amount of nostalgia and good memories. I might prefer it over the song from Minecraft actually. It's just that good for me.
And another one is called "For Riddles, for Wonders", but you should be familiar with it already I think.
For riddles for wonders made me tear up every time I heard it for months
FRFW is such a simple (in a good way) song yet it feels like telling the entire Sumeru story at once
Another C418 enjoyer? 🗿
Rage Beneath the Mountains is so underrated, and I'm so glad you included it into your video!!
you should put in sinners finale from the act V cutscene;D
Port Ormos represents so much of classical Indian music. You can hear the classical veena instrument in the night time version more.
The war flashbacks I’m having with the Fontaine theme because of Act 5 😭😭
Mondstadt eye catching music (some are very short): Dawn Winery Theme, Caelestinum Finale Termini, A Sweet Smile, Angel's Share, An Interesting Labour, Cold Night, Tender Strength, Photon of Fluctuation (especially this one, because many battle/demo/event tracks of Genshin are variations of Photon)
Three underrated themes that i would highly recommend:
The outlander who caught the wind (the first genshin trailer the me, forgotten in time)
Treasury from the Northland (the Northern Bank theme, forgotten since we only are forced to go there like 3 times during the archon quest, but truly a banger that captures the grandiosity of the Fatui and Liyue's external politics)
Combat beneath the waves (sadly forgotten since no one really cares about Enkanomiya anymore, but when it dropped it was considered an absolute banger alongside the rest of Enkanomiya OST, if you think "sometimes less is better" you should definitely hear this one)
fontaine battle theme legit grew on me sooo quick its so whimsical and hype
I think the normal battle theme, the last one you guys listened to, kinda plays like a silly fantastical story book which has its one stupid twists and turns. I love it so much lol.
For mondstadt the first music that I ever stopped to listen to (from the whole game) was just Pure Sky, it's neither epic or badass but really the beauty and nostalgic aspect for it caught my attention
I remember ripping through those hour-long OST comp vids like a maniac trying to find it, the melody is so pulled back and simple yet kind of profound?? It's my fave Mond track
my favourite battle theme still inazuman tho, but hecc yeah that fontaine battle music also goat ! great praise for the composer and the musicians
I genuinely loved all the reactions..
Mondstadt has dawn winery theme and a lot of stormterror lair's osts are amazing I especially like the one that's playing when it's raining naer the top of the tower.
From monstand "A Storm, A Spire, and A Sanctum" is the best one imo.
Some other bangers i would suggest:
-No Turning Back (enkanomiya battle theme #3)
-Halcyon Times (sumeru tabern)
-Silent Starry Night (sumeru city at night i think)
-Wind of Tranquility (Night) (Aaru Village, sumeru)
-Sigh of an Old Friend (inazuma's narukami shrine)
-Symposion of Spectacle (fontaine's cafeteria)
1st Sumeru battle theme is definitely my fav, with irresistible force as a close second
Ha, the composer has not been listed for that piece because they have not officially released it yet. It was just the demo so far. We have to wait till they do the entire mix.
