Haim Saban & Shuki Levy, Apollo - Les Mystérieuses Cités DOr Bande Originale Du Dessin Animé

Review by Sharon Baseman

Rediscovering the Magic: Les Mystérieuses Cités D’Or Soundtrack Let’s get one thing straight—this isn’t just another kids' cartoon soundtrack. Nope. Les Mystérieuses Cités D’Or Bande Originale Du Dessin Animé by Haim Saban and Shuki Levy is a wild ride through soundscapes that feel like they’ve been plucked straight outta some mystical dreamworld. Released back in ’98 (yeah, I know, it's practically ancient), this French gem blends folk, synth-pop, Latin vibes, and even dashes of electronic wizardry into something that feels… alive. Like, you can almost picture Esteban running around with his crew while these tunes play in the background. Now, let me tell ya about two tracks that stuck to my brain like gum under a shoe. First up, there’s “Les Cités D’Or (Générique).” If you’ve ever watched the show, you’ll know exactly what I mean when I say this track slaps hard. It’s got this epic synth line that builds up so perfectly, it makes your chest swell with nostalgia—or maybe it’s just me getting overly emotional thinking about childhood adventures. The melody screams heroism but also whispers mystery, like you’re stepping into uncharted territory where danger lurks but treasure waits too. Honestly? Every time it plays, I half expect to grab an old map and start hunting for gold myself. Then there’s “Le Vol Du Condor.” Man, oh man. This one hits different. There’s this haunting flute riff that sounds like it belongs on top of a mountain somewhere in Peru—or maybe inside my soul? Hard to tell. It’s folky yet futuristic, kinda like if someone mashed up traditional Incan music with Blade Runner vibes. And don’t even get me started on how smooth the transitions are—it flows like water over rocks, calming but kinda unsettling at the same time. You can practically hear the condors soaring above the Andes as Tao does whatever genius inventor stuff he does. It’s cinematic AF without trying too hard. What really gets me though is how personal this album feels. Sure, it’s tied to the cartoon, but it stands alone as its own beast. Producer Noam Kaniel and arranger Steve Rucker clearly poured their hearts into making sure every note felt intentional. Even tracks like “La Tempête” or “L’Aventure Continue” give off this vibe of endless possibility, like life itself is one big adventure waiting to happen. Here’s the kicker though—this soundtrack doesn’t just remind you of the show; it reminds you of you. Of being young and curious, of believing in magic and mystery despite all the odds. Isn’t that kinda beautiful? Oh, and here’s a random thought before I sign off: Did anyone else notice how many versions of “Les Cités D’Or” exist on this thing? Feels like they couldn’t decide which version was best, so they threw ‘em all in. Bold move, team. Bold move.
