Last year, it was LEGO Universe music to celebrate the game's tenth anniversary. This year, it's BIONICLE music to celebrate the franchise's twentieth anniversary! Twenty years? Good grief, how is that even possible? I feel so old...

Among BIONICLE fans, this track is better known as the "three note summary theme". It was used in various BIONICLE promotional media from 2002, providing synopses for the 2001 storyline and introducing the Bohrok. For years, the BioMedia Project only hosted the shorter version from these videos (in fact, until I was writing this video description, I wasn't even aware that their most recent update actually added stock songs to the website!), but there doesn't seem to be any uploads of the full-length track on YouTube. So, of course, that's where I find myself stepping in.

I've always loved this track. Perfectly encapsulated that mysterious and otherworldly vibe of the Mata Nui setting.
