The Archives

The ArchivesUnused name in internal BGMSELECTLIST.DAT file - THE_ARCHIVES (https://tcrf.net/index.php?title=Metroid_Prime_Hunters&direction=next&oldid=48584) is a theme in Metroid Prime Hunters. It was composed by Lawrence Schwedler.
As the name implies, it is the general theme of the Celestial Archives. It begins playing after Samus defeats a group of Psycho Bits in Data Shrine 01. The theme stops playing as Samus reaches the air lock of the Archives, and the music changes to Space Decay, although Space Decay is itself replaced by this theme after she obtains the second Octolith from the area. The Archives is also available for listening as track 10 in the Music Test after Gorea's second form is defeated.
The theme is calm, light, and upbeat, in contrast to the rest of the more brooding and mysterious-sounding music in Hunters. It has a jazzy bass line, a catchy percussion beat, a bright celesta, and echoing vocals similar to those of the Super Mario 64 soundfont.
The theme can be heard here.
