I imagine lead designer talking to the composer "Uhhh, we've asked for a piece of music for a silly dinosaur game with a funny little guy in sunglasses in it, not a spiritualy transcendent godly song of cosmos. I mean, I guess maybe we could use it, but it's not what I had in mind. "
I never got my hands on the game when I was a kid, but I listened to this epic, wistful track so many times and imagined the game must be an experience out of this world. Then when I was older and the Internet became a huge thing I found it online and played in an emulator. It was... anticlimactic.
@Dave Hanson Being unnecessarily fair here, Hippel-COSO does sound a bit more chippy than .MOD tends to. Still not a chiptune but a mod, of course. These guys probably think the A500 was an amazing keyboard.
@@VastyVastyVoid technically, this is a chiptune. The COSO format isn't like the MOD format, and apart the drums and the chord samples, all the sounds are synthesized.
This was the track that both cemented Hippel as one of my favourite composers, as well as becoming one of my all time favourite pieces of video game music from that era that I listen to regularly.
@BDR198524 As a very nice side-effect while creating my channel, i discovered many many good Amiga game music tracks that were previously unfamiliar to me. It's nice to see others making discoveries now too. Hippel is a wizard with chip-style sound.
Excellent tune... Seems to have been inspired by so many C64 composer legends.. a bit of Chris Huelsbeck at the beginning... the arpeggio that comes in later (2:00), on the right, sounds like it came straight from Martin Walkers Parallax! The ending from Rob Hubbards Sanxion ending and the main theme and backing from Martin Galways Ocean loader tunes.. Wicked stuff !
That’s true. Even superior hardware on that time like arcades machines, can’t compare to amiga tunes. Several factors here: the bet on the amiga hardware for sampling instead FM sintesys, and the quick (too quick for me) transition to CD-ROM audio
I love this version a lot. It's as good as the more popular Jogeir remix. Especially with the C64 imitation vibe a lot of Amiga soundtracks seemed to have.
I like this version more. Jogeir's is good but it uses a little too many elements of modern chiptune music that, in my opinion, make them sound like they were all made by the same artist, or artists replicating one artist. Whereas this version sounds much more unique to me, even among other Amiga tracks.
thanks for putting together this playlist! i havent heard these songs before and now im in love! hopefully your list will continue to be added to over time!
This tune is freaking awesome. I made an attempt at remixing the original intro tune here: ua-cam.com/video/nwfMP1Z0pHo/v-deo.html It's clearly no replacement, but I like to think of it as a tribute.
Yet another tune that I had always assumed was composed by Jogeir Liljedahl! I'm starting to wonder if my all-time favourite Amiga MOD (Jogeir's "Variations") isn't just another cover of someone else's music? Perhaps an old C64 tune, originally?
Jogeir has a lot of original bangers, I'd say his version of this is an homage and obviously cover, but out of respect and not because he isn't original himself. I know you mean't well :) so do I, just saying - Jogeir is definitely a GOAT (but why did he rename the song :). (edit) Oh, and.. Out of all the versions I've heard, this one is my favorite! Killer tune.
The more times I hear this the original "nearly there" I come to like it over Jogeir's . (not that that tribute/rip off isn't very good because it certainly is)..

when the music is better than the game
@@JohnPaulBuce A common occurrence on the C64 and Amiga IMO, but that's speaking more to the quality of the music than the games.
@@JohnPaulBucenothing odd on amiga... infact its the norm
the playability on computer games from 8 to 16 bit was awful. Not the same as consoles on the same era
Never played this game, yet alone touched an Amiga.
Why does a game like this have such an amazing tune like that?
Slaps hard for no reason
Soul
The best composers in Europe at the time were all working on Amiga games
Surprisingly common for Amiga games :)
i think this has my vote for best chiptune ever of all time

Still not a chiptune but a mod, of course. These guys probably think the A500 was an amazing keyboard.
@@VastyVastyVoid What if i told you... The Amiga uses a sound chip? Because it does. It's called PAULA.
@@VastyVastyVoid technically, this is a chiptune. The COSO format isn't like the MOD format, and apart the drums and the chord samples, all the sounds are synthesized.
Amiga maybe,c64 wins it with master of magic
@@daniel_007 it sound like a chip tune to me a very good one i tottaly forgot about. happy its still here
I spent 100s hours listening this music...
only?
#Daniela Dundel - Listen this one chiptune: *www.bitchute.com/video/KUCv0Q2vJdfB/?list=lctvSgQRaFRi&randomize=yes*
I also have spent 100s hours.
2023... I daily listen to future composer / Jochen hippel tunes in my car as MP3 on a USB stick. Call me nuts 😅
"There's nothing like a Jochen Hippel song..."
I am so glad that I got a chance to listen to this in my life time. This is one of the best noises that have ever touched my ears
jochen hippel composer from outer world
This was the track that both cemented Hippel as one of my favourite composers, as well as becoming one of my all time favourite pieces of video game music from that era that I listen to regularly.

Wwwwow... What beautiful music... And those amazing melodies send adrenaline shooting up my spine (give me chills). 👍👍👍👍👍
Was listening to a song called ''nearly there'', was like this is freaking amazing why so rare stuff bout it, now I know why, it wasnt the original
Jogeir is pretty good with his own compositions though. Some of his interpretations are great ("Galway = God", for instance).
Definitely one of my top 10 all time Amiga tunes.
Jogier's version is excellent too, but they always are.
Yeah, Jogeir almost always adds his distinctive spin on it.
Pure nostalgia of 1990, incredible chiptune, I keep coming back for more of that timeless classic! It's so deep!
From the first TEX demo on the Atari ST to this and beyond.. Jochen “Mad Max” Hippel… total legend. Sehr gut!
Jesus this is a rare find. It’s a Christmas miracle
Man I love chiptune music so much, like the composition on this one just scratches an itch
Herrlich das original zu hören!! War das eine zeit, die 90'er!!!!!!!!!!!!TOP TRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooowwww.... finally found it... I was looking for years for this track... thanx for sharing...
Excellent tune... Seems to have been inspired by so many C64 composer legends.. a bit of Chris Huelsbeck at the beginning... the arpeggio that comes in later (2:00), on the right, sounds like it came straight from Martin Walkers Parallax!

so much memories and magic in this music!
This is the basis of one of my favorite keygen songs. Thanks for uploading a bunch; now I have another favorite artist!
This goes so hard
Fantastic composition!! And for me, very nostaligic, right up there with the Wings of death tunes. :)
Amiga forever. I have never found the same sound on other machines
That’s true. Even superior hardware on that time like arcades machines, can’t compare to amiga tunes.
Several factors here: the bet on the amiga hardware for sampling instead FM sintesys, and the quick (too quick for me) transition to CD-ROM audio
How did the person who composed this escape my notice for so long?!? I missed out.
Indeed. Same here. I just discovered this guy… (how many minutes into the song am I?)… 4 minutes ago.
I love this version a lot. It's as good as the more popular Jogeir remix. Especially with the C64 imitation vibe a lot of Amiga soundtracks seemed to have.

And what a tribute.. fantastic remix..!
Urgh, so good I feel sick. I need to hear the STE doing this ;)
the 6 dislikes are from dinosaurs
For me his masterpiece is "Rings of Medusa"!
omg, yes
true banger
Amazing tune. Amiga 4 Life

Hippel 4ever ❤
The more times I hear this the original "nearly there" I come to like it over Jogeir's . (not that that tribute/rip off isn't very good because it certainly is)..
Jogeir is amazing, but I think the clue is in the name: I suspect he was trying to replicate the Hippel sound in Protracker.
Yeeeeeah

Classic! but personally i prefer jogeir's version (nearly there.mod)
I personally prefer Jogeir Liljedahl version, although this is good too.
Jogeir reprised this for a demo : ua-cam.com/video/gEgIbbzY_q0/v-deo.html
