7/11: Music from "The 7th Guest" and "The 11th Hour"

by The Fat Man and Team Fat

sasundog This album still raises the hairs on my arms! Favorite track: Ghost of Bo.

darkplant In the early '90s, in the era of MIDI game soundtracks, The 7th Guest's CD2 contained a full, orchestrated score for the game. And not just any score, it was haunting, funny, jazzy, scary... After 30 years, it's still in my TOP 10 list of soundtracks. Favorite track: Skeletons in my Closet.

Chris These songs were the music of my childhood. My father played the games as I sat by his side watching.

It is great to hear the songs with lyrics and to hear the "clean" versions without the game SFX.

The "live" virtual concert track added in 2018 was pretty neat! Clever use of editing to establish that "concert" sound.

I can't take a breath I can't make a move I can't think a thought I can't sing a song with a minimal groove I can't get away From the singular fact Well I can't take a breath without seeing Mr. Death I can't take a bath Mr. death is washing my back And I can't do the disco Mr. Death will dance on my foot I can't sing the rest Well I can't take a breath without seeing Mr. Death But I can't see Mr. Death if I don't take that breath I can't find my car keys Better ask Mr. Death And I get so lonely We play a game of chess Well I can't take a breath Well I can't take a breath Well I can't take a breath Well I can't take a breath Without seeing Mr. Death

48 years of living, An angel in disguise, 48 years of loving, Smiling with my eyes. 48 years of memories, Neatly tucked away. When daylight dies, I hear them rise, And dance upon their grave. What's that sound, Coming from the dresser On a night as black as pitch? What's that sound Comin from the bureau, Do I dare turn on the switch? Them bones, them bones, them dry bones, All bleached in deathly white. I've got skeletons in my closet and, They're rattlin' tonight. The cheat bones connected to deceit bones, And thereby connected to lies. "I love you's" said indiscriminately, Make the sockets for the eyes. The love bones knock against the hate bones, And fingers click in time. There wont be sleep for the weary tonight, Cause all those bones are mine. What's that sound, Coming from the dresser On a night as black as pitch? What's that sound Comin from the bureau, Do I dare turn on the switch? Them bones, them bones, them dry bones, All bleached in deathly white. I've got skeletons in my closet and, They're rattlin' tonight. (---) Hup, Hup, they're in my closet now. Hup, Hup, Hup, I wouldn't wanna wake 'em. Hup, Hup, they're in my dresser drawer. Hup, Hup, Hup, I'm trying to forsake 'em. What's that sound, Coming from the dresser On a night as black as pitch? What's that sound Comin from the bureau, Do I dare turn on the switch? Them bones, them bones, them dry bones, All bleached in deathly white. I've got skeletons in my closet and, They're rattlin' tonight. Hup, Hup, Hup. Hup, Hup. Hup, Hup, Hup.

Let’s take the time to find out what’s inside Away from all this wind and rain The six arrive, the fire lights their eyes Invited here to learn to play The Game We travel blind and feel along the walls And barely know from where we came The paths divide the players from the rules But we’re the ones who chose to play The Game Let’s take the time to find ourselves again Away from daily stress and pain Though we may find we’ll not come back the same That happens sometimes when we play The Game

Come! Come play the shell game with the madman. (Mystere Fara Asteroth) And maybe you can win his bride! (Manitas Moroto Ra) Or you can try for something better! (Hala Hala Asteroth) You decide! (Hass, Hass, Hass) (Let's Take.) Why dont you bet it all on Seven? (The Time.) Your guess could be as good as mine! (To Find Out What's Inside.) Just roll the bones, you could get lucky! (Away From A Time) For a time. I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour. I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! Hello, you've reached the madman and me, There is no one in the house right now, So, you what to do... don't you? Yes you can set your sights on Heaven, And there's no better time than now. Everybody walks away a winner! Hah, Dont ask how. (---) Now that your luck has gotten colder, Perhaps you'll tell me how it feels, To be the one who plays the Joker! Making deals. I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! And I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! Well, I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! I should be doing stuff, But Id rather put it off, Until the final hour! I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off! Until the final hour! I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour! I should be doing stuff, But I'd rather put it off, Until the final hour!

about

Brand new track for the 2014 release:
TRAIN: The Lost Puzzle Piece

Also known as el03.mid, this piece was not intended to go in the game, but nonetheless it shows up in The Eleventh Hour, while the player is working on the Train puzzle. It was actually an early MIDI sketch for the song "The Final Hour," written to establish and test out the new thematic material to be used in the sequel to The 7th Guest. Note the second vers tries out the 7th Guest melody as a countermelody. Note the chorus is different. Note that the instrumental hook in this turned into the "I could be doing stuff" chorus of the final version. Note the long bass-only section (placeholder for a solo), and the long section at the end that leaves plenty of room for fadeout.

Requests for "the train puzzle tune" occasionally reached The Fat Man, but it was only recently that he received a YouTube link to the train puzzle (from a fan: Thanks, Joseph Grabko!), and realized that the tune being requested was not "Hey Conductor" as he had previously supposed. Going back over old files, el03.mid turned up, matched the YouTube video, and here it is for the first time ever in a fresh, clean recording outside the game.
