Trippy evenings spacing out to this amazing music watching the Earth spinning around me while sniping players from the eternal towers of Facing Worlds. It’s all long gone now, but I will never forget.
was listening to "Øfdream: Thelema" and in this song there is familiar sound to this Foregone Destruction masterpiece so that is why I rushed to search for this particular song its truly hardcoded in me LOL
@@The3InT well ofdream is mainly wave/witch house, while foregone is atmospheric dnb (in case you wanted to know the genre) btw ofdream is dead he commited suicide in 2018
My mom had a coworker who was much into the PC modding/gaming scene and an early adopter of pretty much anything technology. Every week he would give me "samples" of the newest games, if you know what I mean. He also wrote me extensive long e-mails that helped me understand how to build my first PC. In 1999, I finally saved up enough to take the plunge along the help of my parents and was successful, the first boot up was a great feeling. He opened my eyes to so many different games back in this era. Half-Life, Quake, Unreal, System Shock, Motocross Madness, Midtown Madness, Need For Speed, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Thief, Warcraft, Deus Ex and many more. Terry Cochran, you are never to be forgotten!
There's an untold level of happiness Foregone Destruction brings while looking out over that view of Earth. A simpler, happier time online gaming in the early 2000s.
yes back when sci fi games were simpler polygon styles that let your brain fill in the gaps ALSO the world was just way cooler snd you had untill september 11 2001 to party basically
Dude, all these transitions are getting etched into my brain as I keep listening again and again, I'm gonna listen to one of these songs now, I will expect the other one to follow.
Don't be sad, be happy. You lived it. You pioneered an entire video game genre, at least in some small way. I was getting 30-5 DM scores before some of these 'gamers' were even born lol
I could talk all day and night about how special this game is to me. I was born in '95 and my dad had me on PC's very early on so by the time this game was out I was playing daily. Nostalgia aside, there's still something about this game that can never be replicated. The soundtrack, the sound design, the environment, the setting, the color palette, the entire aesthetic and feeling the game evokes with it's imagery is just incomparable to anything else. There is this level of wonder and awe to it's design but also a familiarity, like, your in this ancient mountain fortress surrounded by forests and valley's, or a space station floating above earth, a half built skyscraper in the middle of a city. It gives you the impression of this massive world with centuries of stories on an intergalactic scale that lived on with or without you. Whatever inspired the creation of UT99 is something that could only happen once, and that perfect combination of artists and designers left us with a masterpiece of experience.
Totally relatable. I was born in '88 and UT99 was one of the first FPS I ever played, the other being Half-life. My brother and I stayed up til 3am one night playing the demo on the map morpheus, the start of a long career lol. This soundtrack is a masterpiece and full of nostalgia.
@@JacketAnnDaxter 360 era was where generic annual non-sport franchises began to proliferate and zero day failures/patches became normalized. Can't hold a candle to the late 90s.
The good thing about not being able to read the future is that new eras of video games are yet to come. I think the AAA was an era, where it seems all new games HAS TO be very big and very popular. I think Deus Ex: HR and MD suffer of that AAAmania. UT99, Deus Ex, Half Life... They big, but they were big because the developers and players made it the game big. Now we have a lots of money to make big games arrive to the players. It's not "bidirectional" anymore.
yeeeeeehaw! :D god damn when i saw strangelove i instantly heard and saw it in front of me... damn :( one of the most chaotic mods released when u played at like 11pm and all u heard was that YEEEHAW followed by those taunts. while a midi version of a britney spears song played.
During 2005 (I think) I had a computer class during like grade 5 and 6, and the teachers, cool bastards that they were, would say: "Oh you can play games on the pc, just finish the work faster and you'll be playing games in no time." And so we did, just so we could have 15 minutes of playing the most random games they'd installed in the school pcs. And THEN came lunch break. We had like 1 hour recess, and those same teachers would open the computer classroom and let kids play UT2004 for the whole time. I know like next to nothing about the series, but hearing Foregone Destruction just sent me on a freaking trip. I remember every damn kid rushing everywhere in hopes of finding the Redeemer and blasting the enemy team to bits. I remember the snipers on top of the tower. I remember people spamming the translocator. Man what an awesome game. :) Edit: apparently the "Facing Worlds" map in UT2004 doesn't actually feature "Foregone Destruction", it features "Corrugation Rise". Meaning, even though they are completely different songs, my dumbass brain just imagined an alternate reality of the past lmao Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
I managed to play UT 2004 on pentium III pc, with 384MB ram and only 8MB graphic card while recommended was 32MB video memory, it lagged hard, but i managed to play on low details some maps. Now i got PC with 32GB of ram and 12GB graphic card, i forgot how was it back then when you had to reduce even resolution to make game playable
I got a summer job at my high school in 2005 helping install a new computer lab. We included CS and UT2k4 in the norton ghost image that went on every pc in the schoo.
I got even better one. Fridays on first year of secondary technical school were awesome. First 3 hours: workshops. First machine shop (lathe, milling cutter), then electrician training room, but in the winter it was forge. Yes, we had been taught blacksmithing and we all enjoyed it. Next 3 hours: information technology. But our teacher had always planned work to first half. Second half: 'i had started CS 1.6 server, anyone care to join me?' Bastard had quite a few years of experience ahead of us but eventually we caught up with him :)
We had Similar Chad on High School. Our Networking Teacher gave us a Challenge, "Beat me in Quake 3 and you will have no Exams from me, so just Theory and Assisted Labs". Well, let's just say we tried ... we got our Asses handed to us on a Silver plate :D ... although we still got Exams, we enjoyed this moment A LOT :D
I want to make a positive reply. I get it. Oh the Music. Love it. Old memories. I think I can relate. I've never been tested for ADHA. That idea/term did not exist in the 60's when i was a child? I can't say I know ADHD. I was told I was a hyper active child in the middle 60s. I had to stay active. Keep my mind active. Was that a ADHD thing before it was known as that? I don't know what your age is. I'm almost 66. Durring my waking hours I do have a song or two in my head that just keeps repeating and keeps me happy. LOL. Skyward Fire has been stuck in my head for a week. ,,,, it's good. I like I.
ahah same here ! At that time there were plenty of game with those kind of tracklist :) Was fond of the Xtrem-G2 tracks on Nintendo 64 as well ! ua-cam.com/video/BIn23_BynUU/v-deo.html for those who gotta check !
I'm a bit disappointed Epic didn't seem to have planed something for it. UT99 released in November in the USA, and around December in Europe, so there's still a possibility... (A shadow drop of Unreal Tournament X, maybe?). Unreal Tournament is one of the corner stones of any modern FPS we got today (with Half-Life, Quake and Doom).
@OnafetsEnovap Yes. This is the strangest thing about it. Who does that? Close the server of an old game is one thing (UT3 is only from 2007). But pull back all the games of a entire series (8 games with unreal championship 1 & 2) from every single digital store is a whole other level. It's as if they were preparing a total reboot in the grandest of secrecy. This, or they have some sort of legal problem leading to a kind of cease and desist (can you lose your own exploitation rights of something you own yourself?). My bet is the latter.
Still to date the best soundtrack in any game ever for me. Just how well it worked in game play and fit into the mood of the game in every situation. Also every track fits perfectly to the atmosphere of the map it is associated with. Tension building at the start of a map, when the action hasn't yet started, but can await behind any corner. Then you hear the first shots and shouts. The music pumps up the adrenaline while running through corridors trying to find a battle as fast as you can so you won't be dropped behind in frags or points. And when you hit that flow state where the game just goes your way: you keep hitting well, evading shots and fragging like a monster (MO-MO-MO-MONSTER KILL!). The uplifting music just builds on top of that. The feeling was like riding the perfect wave, so smooth.
Interesting to hear; i always think im biased since i was young and impressionable when this came out... but I feel like this was the golden era where games dared experiment with music in a very game defining, in your face manner. At some point it seems to have become universally accepted that game music should be three barely audible notes per minute in the background, in a way that could be exchanged between games without you even noticing. Maybe they are affraid to be tacky; to be accused of 'trying to be a recreation of X'? Dunno. EPIC those days had no qualms with making their soundtrack sound epic, at least.
UT1's been installed on every computer I've had since it came out, including my Steam Deck. My all-time favourite FPS, tied for spot of my all-time favourite game, and a golden standard that nothing that comes close to even understanding anymore, much less rivalling.
Lololol I thought I was weird doing this. Born in 94 so I was very young when it came out! This and Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror. Big oof! Loved the monster mod for TO:AOT... so ahead of its time. It was like Turok... but in a counter strike style wrapper
Sadly EPIC took all the Unreal and UT games down from storefronts. You can't buy them any more. They don't want your money. WTF - it's like if id (Bethesda) deleted all the Doom and Quake games. I don't know what's going on at EPIC but this is a travesty. Thankfully these games don't have always-online DRM self-destruct functionality so we can still enjoy them on community servers, or single-player. Not sure about UT3. I'm glad I bought at least my favorite of these games from GOG and backed them up. EPIC FAIL.
Used to play this after work with the IT department on the fastest machines the company had, being designers we had better graphics cards than them and always kicked their asses. Those were awesome times.
@@hushed6160 We also played Medal of Honor occasionally. And ordered in pizza. The studio always stank of onion and cheese the following day. Once, I got shouted at by one of the nerdiest coders because I acquisitioned ‘his’ machine for the tournament the previous night, and it got cheese grease on the keyboard. He was incandescent with rage and almost slapped me.
Brings a tear to my eye - what good times man, being young - playing this skilful game with friends, the world was a much nicer place then, much nice. Still, we have memories right. The Course used to be my favourite. When I first started playing, I had just come of a 10 year drug binge, going to raves, clubs and pubs - getting smashed on drugs, smoking every week. Then I met my partner, got into computers and started my first IT course. I went from being out with assholes every weekend, into staying in studying and playing PC games. What a rush, specifically when you would start a map, with this track specifically - you would get tingles and feel like a warrior.. Haha, my look at it anyway. Great game!
I still have it, and I spent COVID playing with a friend... One of the few games that marked me forever... Nostalgia for the 90s when I was just a kid...
@@socalion90 Indeed I am, although my IT career has been OK, I never reached the top levels. But I think, due to the huge amount of drugs I did, I was lucky to survive - so being a middleman, in terms of career progression, is fine for me. Less stress.
The amount of people video games helped keep off the streets is understated. I met a lot of people at LAN parties back in the day that were addicted to q3, sc, or UT because it kept them off real drugs and inspired them to be better people. Miss those days
Progressive sound at its finest, golden age of 90s for Acid Techno and all sorts of Psychedelic edm which is offcourse imprinted in all of the game of this generation. Proud to be a 90s kid and proud to be part of history in the making back then
i had so so so so much fun only playing against bots when i was a kid, what a great game god damnnnnnit, sniper was delicious to use and the MOMOMOMOMOMONSTER KILL KILL KILL sfx where so good
oh god you're right. The two sound so similar, presumably becuase of the audio synth limitations at the time. The UNATCO theme plays rent free in my head oh god
I cannot explain why, but this melody 7:43 always makes me tear up. It hits me on an emotional level that I cannot explain cognitively. And it's super rare for music to do that. Something about UT99, and Deus Ex soundtracks are so beautiful to me.
Reminds me of my AP Comp Sci class in 2003. We had the UT99 demo .exe hidden on the server so our teacher didn’t know. He was out often because he had a kid on the way, and the sub we had would let us do whatever we wanted. We played the crap out of that UT99 demo. And got Saturday schools for it when we were caught lol. Worth it.
played it as i was 13y old with my friends on a "Lan-Party" and this game and its concept was totally new... man such a sweet memory, the sound, the music, the open areas... that feeling was indescribable
There’s something incredibly strange about how it feels to simply look around. Like the dpi is wrong or no matter what I do the sensitivity is too high. After thousands of hours of others games. Unreal just doesn’t feel right.
This music is an amazing artpiece. It got little 10 yr old me triggered, I'll never forget it. The music was so strange, so alien, so different from anything I've ever heard. It got me into D&B and those beautiful ethereal and spacie sounds. It got me hyped up and in moments dreaming and thinking. Thank you creators for spreading this beautiful art and love. ❤
I was barely 4 years old and I was already learning to use the WASD keys with Unreal Gold, with Unreal Tournament 1999 my family and I played with LAN cables up to 8 computers for hours and hours. That feeling of being the champion, passing by laughing and listening to funny insults with the music in the background that gave you adrenaline even in your blood. It is the atmosphere, the colors, the sounds, the architecture of another universe. Feeling like you were in the league, that you could get lost in space, being one on one with your weapon. Their maps are perfect, the emotes, the hidden weapons and augments. I wouldn't change anything. One of the best experiences of my childhood, I always carry it on a pendrive in case I want a quick game. This video shows that his community cherishes it and that no one can change the GOTY that it is. A hug to the developers, artists and musicians of this franchise ❤
It's always good for me to see those mixes being recommended, one of the best moments for me using UA-cam, it's just so good to find those randomly; they're ethereal and good in many ways. I love this sense of nostalgia that Jungle brings to me, absolutely love it, keep doing more please!
@@johncasarino5627 lol I was just about to type this same comment before seeing your reply. Kinda hilarious to see what UA-camCore mixes of classic dance music has done to people's understanding of the genres. Now some people call everything jungle or techno
UT99 and Quake3 Arena were the best multiplayer FPS ever made. I played both in LAN partys with my friends almost each weekend and Forgone Destruction will be remembered forever. The 90s were incredible, irrepetibles, I'm going to miss it forever.
"god bless" a game where You kill others for sport and for fun. Well, umm... I started writing this comment as a criticism, but then I remembered that god killed so many people (in the old testament alone), that killing is surely an activity he does for fun.
UT GOTY would've been a fine game if it didn't have a soundtrack. But man I'm glad they chose to go the extra mile. Having Alexander Brandon and Michiel Van Den Bos on the job really took this game from being good to great, in my opinion. Ambitious, catchy game music like this always sticks with me long after I've played the game. And this is a great edit, hearing it with the transitions. Thanks for putting it up!
I always loved UT music alongside with some older game soundtrack like Tyrian or Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Then one day when I was well in my 30s I learned that Brandon worked on all of them and the connection suddenly clicked
High school in 2001, used to hang out in one of the computer labs in study hour with friends. Some how one of the other kids got administrator access and was able to install the demo version of Unreal Tournament on a bunch of the computers in the lab. Playing those LAN multiplayer games was so awesome, thankfully the teacher over that lab was super chill and didn't babysit us so we got away with it for the entire second semester. And Unreal Tournament online multiplayer was epic, those low grav instagib CTF games were nuts.
I remember my childhood, first pc and UT among many small games on CD signed with "mini games". Since that time I haven't experienced that same feeling from games, it's some kind of magic
the transitions in this video are the real gold. this video makes those 20 year old songs hit different in a way I haven't experienced since childhood. nailed it good sir or ma'am!
So many games from the late 90’s had a massive influence on my interest in electronic music. UT99, Tetrisphere both had amazing music though many more could be cited. A lot of it seems to have come hot off the heels of the British rave and drum&bass movements.
@@arkgaharandan5881 sure, here is my eclectic shortlist: dream dolphin - love eat alien gas - 0095 goldie - timeless freaky chakra - lowdown motivator john beltran - earth and nightfall klf - the whiteroom la sythesis - matrix surfer larry heard - alien leftfield - leftism mouse on mars - audiotacker orchalcum & the deviant - s/t robert leiner - visions of the past spacetime continuum - sea biscuit springheel jack - these are strings underwolrd - second toughest in the infants younger brother - a flock of bleeps
Never played Unreal Tournament but this DnB is godly. Seriously it's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for uploading and props to Michiel for making it
You should play It's the best game of the time, between Tomb Raider Duke Nukem and Half life... this stood out as the best multiplayer game and best singleplayer game for replayability. Quake 3 was it's own beast and competitive players went nuts on it, but Unreal tournament setting, music and world is perfection. (i'm bias I love this game a lot lol) Quake3 is lit too! If you haven't played these staples consider dipping your toes in one that seems like it would be something you enjoy.🤩
my father had managed to make the Multiplayer in UT99 work in my laptop's old hard disk, i always came from school to play with others and learn even more about the game, i remember i even got to the point of using controlled rocket jumps to make insane trickshots with the sniper rifle. but one day the disk decided to stop working, and i could never play online again, all my progress was lost too, but the memories where never lost, as i remember how i named my character, which used the Xan skin all the time "Rush Kriegor"
this game is masterpiece, especially most rivals like quakre arena and counter stike were good games and have lot of fans, But UT was something like for adult , have this extra something, btw wanna another great soundtrack? try nfs porsch unleasched starts from psychonaught ;]
It is funny how the more dangerous maps (lava giant with well lava all around, ocean floor with the risk of drowning, facing world and phobos with the risk of falling into space,Fractal with its electrical pylons) have the most relaxed and chilled music)

All we getting now days are Kids game like Fortnite xD
@@shotz1313 Yeah you obviously don't know what you're talking about
Quake 2 was -the- one.
Half life was truely next level, but nothing touched Q2 for me.
@@shotz1313 Come on, OG Fortnite was dope!
@@ElStink4K Every kid is playing fortnite and every kid has your profile picture. You're mindless drones
This game turns 25 this year. A quarter of a century! Wow. Happy Silver Anniversary, Unreal Tournament! :)
I'm a bit disappointed Epic didn't seem to have planed something for it. UT99 released in November in the USA, and around December in Europe, so there's still a possibility... (A shadow drop of Unreal Tournament X, maybe?). Unreal Tournament is one of the corner stones of any modern FPS we got today (with Half-Life, Quake and Doom).
@@R4diateur What sucks is that the game is no longer available on Steam, and I understand the servers have been shut down as well. 😢
@OnafetsEnovap Yes. This is the strangest thing about it. Who does that? Close the server of an old game is one thing (UT3 is only from 2007). But pull back all the games of a entire series (8 games with unreal championship 1 & 2) from every single digital store is a whole other level. It's as if they were preparing a total reboot in the grandest of secrecy. This, or they have some sort of legal problem leading to a kind of cease and desist (can you lose your own exploitation rights of something you own yourself?). My bet is the latter.
and not a single fucking competitor in existence of non-playable character game developer's history rivaled Unreal.
Too bad EA and Activision are busy with ANXIOUS COMPULSIVE MASTURBATION, because they can't make the game that is this good.
not gonna lie unreal tournament, and deus ex have the best music of any video game. always a tune for the vibe
I agree, Michiel van den Bos is a god
I can’t really debate this..
Michiel van den bos and Alexander brandon are the GOATs
And Quake
No. It's just your nostalgia that makes you say that.
Still to date the best soundtrack in any game ever for me.
Just how well it worked in game play and fit into the mood of
the game in every situation. Also every track fits perfectly to
the atmosphere of the map it is associated with.
Tension building at the start of a map, when the action hasn't
yet started, but can await behind any corner. Then you hear
the first shots and shouts. The music pumps up the adrenaline
while running through corridors trying to find a battle as fast as
you can so you won't be dropped behind in frags or points.
And when you hit that flow state where the game just goes your
way: you keep hitting well, evading shots and fragging like a monster
(MO-MO-MO-MONSTER KILL!). The uplifting music just builds on
top of that. The feeling was like riding the perfect wave, so smooth.
Nail on the head ! Classic classic memories ! Strider theme begins , pulse rifle is heard ! YOU LIKE THAT ?
take a listen to the motorstorm soundtrack :D
One of the best games & soundtracks ever made.
Countless hours at LAN parties were spent playing UT99. Those were the days!
Can fully agree with you!
LAN-Party - Times when homework was our biggest problem
It truly was. 🙂
do you still play online?
@@youtubeuser9832 I tried the other day, couldn't find any servers, I have version 436 which is the last version I think.
I looked at the ut player stats page after ut2004 died out. The hours. Days.. weeks 😮
amazing how a long-forgotten beat transports you back in time
As a person born in 2002, words can't describe how jealous I am that games had this type of music. Why is it so sick
Industry was less about money, more about passion. Just like most.
Interesting to hear; i always think im biased since i was young and impressionable when this came out... but I feel like this was the golden era where games dared experiment with music in a very game defining, in your face manner. At some point it seems to have become universally accepted that game music should be three barely audible notes per minute in the background, in a way that could be exchanged between games without you even noticing. Maybe they are affraid to be tacky; to be accused of 'trying to be a recreation of X'? Dunno. EPIC those days had no qualms with making their soundtrack sound epic, at least.
It's not as if UT2K4 (and the like) have disappeared, go play them! The servers could probably use more players.
It was simply a time when the world was less bleak...
it's crazy what a decade or so difference can make
UT1's been installed on every computer I've had since it came out, including my Steam Deck. My all-time favourite FPS, tied for spot of my all-time favourite game, and a golden standard that nothing that comes close to even understanding anymore, much less rivalling.
Lololol I thought I was weird doing this. Born in 94 so I was very young when it came out! This and Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror. Big oof! Loved the monster mod for TO:AOT... so ahead of its time. It was like Turok... but in a counter strike style wrapper
how can you make it run right in win 10 and full hd with the "right ratio" and no mouse lag?
@@evilzinabyssranger5695 I never had any issues. You might need to manually enter your resolution in the preferences or an .INI file, I think.
UT2k4 best of all
Sadly EPIC took all the Unreal and UT games down from storefronts. You can't buy them any more. They don't want your money. WTF - it's like if id (Bethesda) deleted all the Doom and Quake games. I don't know what's going on at EPIC but this is a travesty.
Thankfully these games don't have always-online DRM self-destruct functionality so we can still enjoy them on community servers, or single-player.
Not sure about UT3. I'm glad I bought at least my favorite of these games from GOG and backed them up. EPIC FAIL.
Used to play this after work with the IT department on the fastest machines the company had, being designers we had better graphics cards than them and always kicked their asses. Those were awesome times.
@@hushed6160 Competetive prime is infinite in gaming. Ceiling unlimited :)
@@hushed6160 We also played Medal of Honor occasionally. And ordered in pizza. The studio always stank of onion and cheese the following day. Once, I got shouted at by one of the nerdiest coders because I acquisitioned ‘his’ machine for the tournament the previous night, and it got cheese grease on the keyboard. He was incandescent with rage and almost slapped me.

Brings a tear to my eye - what good times man, being young - playing this skilful game with friends, the world was a much nicer place then, much nice. Still, we have memories right. The Course used to be my favourite. When I first started playing, I had just come of a 10 year drug binge, going to raves, clubs and pubs - getting smashed on drugs, smoking every week. Then I met my partner, got into computers and started my first IT course. I went from being out with assholes every weekend, into staying in studying and playing PC games. What a rush, specifically when you would start a map, with this track specifically - you would get tingles and feel like a warrior.. Haha, my look at it anyway. Great game!
I always love seeing slice of life stories like these. Are you still in IT to this day?
@@socalion90 Agreed, it's interesting how old games carry many life stories
I still have it, and I spent COVID playing with a friend... One of the few games that marked me forever... Nostalgia for the 90s when I was just a kid...
@@socalion90 Indeed I am, although my IT career has been OK, I never reached the top levels. But I think, due to the huge amount of drugs I did, I was lucky to survive - so being a middleman, in terms of career progression, is fine for me. Less stress.
The amount of people video games helped keep off the streets is understated. I met a lot of people at LAN parties back in the day that were addicted to q3, sc, or UT because it kept them off real drugs and inspired them to be better people. Miss those days
Progressive sound at its finest, golden age of 90s for Acid Techno and all sorts of Psychedelic edm which is offcourse imprinted in all of the game of this generation. Proud to be a 90s kid and proud to be part of history in the making back then
i had so so so so much fun only playing against bots when i was a kid, what a great game god damnnnnnit, sniper was delicious to use and the MOMOMOMOMOMONSTER KILL KILL KILL sfx where so good
Mechanism Eight. My god, it still gives me chills.
Forgone Destruction is tied to SO MANY memories as well.
Mechanism eight is my favorite!
This was and forever will be my home, our home.
our home
amen brother
Man…. The skyboxes in the game were truly amazing. The imagination that this sparked in me as a kid mixed with the music is just….. amazing
My friends and I played the hell out of UT back in the day. I miss this game.
I miss the play. I was good back then 20+ years ago. Not any more.
Skyward Fire will stay in my head until the end of my days
I'm still playing UT 2004, playing UT 99 music with the in game built Music Player. The design of the games were amazing amazing amazing.
2004 still has active players? That was an amazing game. I'll have to try and get it up and running again.
I just discovered alternative master servers. Great to play 2004 again!
@@MrGeekGamer tell me more
@@MrGeekGamer now that sounds fun count me in

bro skyward fire dude…. who’s feeling this song ?… I mean seriously it’s my favorite song in life period no joke…
SO true its unreal
haha with those awesome glasses @@aleksgold7540
Me too man, i want to be buried with this song
bro EASILY...@@rorokaws1620
Check out Theorem - Ring, a cool record in the similar genre
old eletronic music, sounds straight out of the uk and european scene, with breakbeats and deep acid with stabs and pads, amazing
Ssoundtrack from Unreal and UT should be included in UNESCO... these songs will be listened to for hundreds of years :]
Let's see. it's 2023 when I type this. So that's 24 years later already. We're almost a quarter on the way there!
That made me lol. Uniseco digital worlds
Unatsco Deus Ex.
oh god you're right. The two sound so similar, presumably becuase of the audio synth limitations at the time. The UNATCO theme plays rent free in my head oh god
I wish i had a pair of old school sound blasters to play this on. What a great time to be a kid.
I cannot explain why, but this melody 7:43 always makes me tear up. It hits me on an emotional level that I cannot explain cognitively. And it's super rare for music to do that. Something about UT99, and Deus Ex soundtracks are so beautiful to me.
Reminds me of my AP Comp Sci class in 2003. We had the UT99 demo .exe hidden on the server so our teacher didn’t know. He was out often because he had a kid on the way, and the sub we had would let us do whatever we wanted. We played the crap out of that UT99 demo. And got Saturday schools for it when we were caught lol. Worth it.
I remember playing unreal for hours during a y2k party my brother was throwing . Games were always fun back then .
Whenever I can't decide what music to listen to, I can always come back to the UT1999 Soundtrack.
Memories of playing this game with my dad when I was little. He’s still alive but we prefer to play Counter Strike nowadays. Love you old man.
played it as i was 13y old with my friends on a "Lan-Party" and this game and its concept was totally new... man such a sweet memory, the sound, the music, the open areas... that feeling was indescribable
This whole playlist is such a dope experience. Makes me miss the 2000s
Me too
I always install this game for a LAN party. It's still a great game and the music got you in the right mood every time
I used to play this game 60+ hours a week. This music is embedded in my DNA.
That's not how DNA works
Holy shit bro how'd you have that much time

@@Needleer this makes me proud ! did you ever put any time in the other unreal tournament / championship / awakening games ?
Skyward Fire is an absolutely intense vibe, i love it.
I just want a modern remake of UT 99, same gameplay, same levels, same AI, just updated visuals. It still holds up incredibly well.
There’s something incredibly strange about how it feels to simply look around. Like the dpi is wrong or no matter what I do the sensitivity is too high.
After thousands of hours of others games. Unreal just doesn’t feel right.
I’ve a laptop geo book 😢
@@carlsonbench1827 that's just how unreal engine 1 is unfortunately, most games on that engine are like that
@@carlsonbench1827 it's probably the FOV, newer games won't let you crank that shit up to 110+ like older games would
Shame they finally pulled the plug on all their unreal games including the pre alpha ue4 version..
This music is an amazing artpiece. It got little 10 yr old me triggered, I'll never forget it. The music was so strange, so alien, so different from anything I've ever heard. It got me into D&B and those beautiful ethereal and spacie sounds. It got me hyped up and in moments dreaming and thinking.
Thank you creators for spreading this beautiful art and love. ❤
I was barely 4 years old and I was already learning to use the WASD keys with Unreal Gold, with Unreal Tournament 1999 my family and I played with LAN cables up to 8 computers for hours and hours. That feeling of being the champion, passing by laughing and listening to funny insults with the music in the background that gave you adrenaline even in your blood.
It is the atmosphere, the colors, the sounds, the architecture of another universe. Feeling like you were in the league, that you could get lost in space, being one on one with your weapon.
Their maps are perfect, the emotes, the hidden weapons and augments. I wouldn't change anything. One of the best experiences of my childhood, I always carry it on a pendrive in case I want a quick game.
This video shows that his community cherishes it and that no one can change the GOTY that it is. A hug to the developers, artists and musicians of this franchise ❤
It's always good for me to see those mixes being recommended, one of the best moments for me using UA-cam, it's just so good to find those randomly; they're ethereal and good in many ways. I love this sense of nostalgia that Jungle brings to me, absolutely love it, keep doing more please!
lol most of this isn't jungle
@@johncasarino5627 lol I was just about to type this same comment before seeing your reply. Kinda hilarious to see what UA-camCore mixes of classic dance music has done to people's understanding of the genres. Now some people call everything jungle or techno

Keep coming back! I think I trained myself being hyper focused when i hear these tunes.
Been looking for "Skyward Fire" forever. God I LOVE the old tracker music.
i cried a bit around 9:30. thanks for the mix ma dude/sis
UT99 and Quake3 Arena were the best multiplayer FPS ever made. I played both in LAN partys with my friends almost each weekend and Forgone Destruction will be remembered forever.
The 90s were incredible, irrepetibles, I'm going to miss it forever.
Never played this game but I recall listening religiously during UA-cam's earliest days, probably 2008, so it's nostalgic in that way
Brings tears to my eyes, there will never be a game with everything 10/10 like this, I thank you for creating this masterpiece. God Bless! †
"god bless" a game where You kill others for sport and for fun. Well, umm... I started writing this comment as a criticism, but then I remembered that god killed so many people (in the old testament alone), that killing is surely an activity he does for fun.
@@TransAmDrifter I love God and wish you were in the game so I could have a "deathmatch" with you.
Yeah, it would be nice if everyone could know the difference between a game and reality, sadly this is not the case.😟 @@TransAmDrifter
Greatest multiplayer game of all time.
@@TransAmDrifter - Dude....
UT GOTY would've been a fine game if it didn't have a soundtrack. But man I'm glad they chose to go the extra mile. Having Alexander Brandon and Michiel Van Den Bos on the job really took this game from being good to great, in my opinion. Ambitious, catchy game music like this always sticks with me long after I've played the game. And this is a great edit, hearing it with the transitions. Thanks for putting it up!
I always loved UT music alongside with some older game soundtrack like Tyrian or Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Then one day when I was well in my 30s I learned that Brandon worked on all of them and the connection suddenly clicked
High school in 2001, used to hang out in one of the computer labs in study hour with friends. Some how one of the other kids got administrator access and was able to install the demo version of Unreal Tournament on a bunch of the computers in the lab. Playing those LAN multiplayer games was so awesome, thankfully the teacher over that lab was super chill and didn't babysit us so we got away with it for the entire second semester. And Unreal Tournament online multiplayer was epic, those low grav instagib CTF games were nuts.
I remember my childhood, first pc and UT among many small games on CD signed with "mini games". Since that time I haven't experienced that same feeling from games, it's some kind of magic
*_HOLY SHIT!_* This soundtrack is *_GODLIKE._*
The Course was always such an absolute banger.
the transitions in this video are the real gold. this video makes those 20 year old songs hit different in a way I haven't experienced since childhood. nailed it good sir or ma'am!
"Foregone Destruction" and "Mechanism Eight" the best! ❤
So many games from the late 90’s had a massive influence on my interest in electronic music. UT99, Tetrisphere both had amazing music though many more could be cited. A lot of it seems to have come hot off the heels of the British rave and drum&bass movements.
Holy molly, first man i met that tag Tetrisphere as a work of fine music, bro nobody can beat Extol. Bro amazing!!!!
My people, half the reason I loved tetrisphere so much was the music
Definitely influenced my musical tastes. Found myself going down the hardcore and jungle rabbit hole.
i am looking for music like this any recommendations?
@@arkgaharandan5881 sure, here is my eclectic shortlist:
dream dolphin - love eat alien

The blends between the tracks have me coming back to this upload when I could go anywhere else, RAD.
Hearing "the course" brings back memories of playing the game for the very first time, great times.
I can't stop looping this over and over, send help please
Never played Unreal Tournament but this DnB is godly. Seriously it's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for uploading and props to Michiel for making it
oh shit there's also some amazing breakbeats techno
I have never played this game in my life but wow these are some nice sounding tracks
You should play
It's the best game of the time, between Tomb Raider Duke Nukem and Half life... this stood out as the best multiplayer game and best singleplayer game for replayability.
Quake 3 was it's own beast and competitive players went nuts on it, but Unreal tournament setting, music and world is perfection. (i'm bias I love this game a lot lol)
Quake3 is lit too! If you haven't played these staples consider dipping your toes in one that seems like it would be something you enjoy.🤩
you are missing out
Phobos Moon.....that track...after all these years, still hits me.
this is actually great mix. nothing superfluous and all the bangers are in place
Oh the eternal joy of music. This soundtrack stood the test of time and will continue.
my father had managed to make the Multiplayer in UT99 work in my laptop's old hard disk, i always came from school to play with others and learn even more about the game, i remember i even got to the point of using controlled rocket jumps to make insane trickshots with the sniper rifle.
but one day the disk decided to stop working, and i could never play online again, all my progress was lost too, but the memories where never lost, as i remember how i named my character, which used the Xan skin all the time
"Rush Kriegor"
It's kinda funny how these chill liquid beats and breaks are a background to the slaughter.
Thank you 🙌
This game and its OST will always hold a very special place in my heart
I only played Unreal Tournament 2004, but I was fortunate to experience player-made legacy content like this.
Damn they all hit HARD, but mechanism fight really gave me goosebumps. I need to go back to this, sounds AMAZING on my hifi setup
Thank you for sharing this. Unreal Tournament means something to me nothing else ever could.
Forgone Destruction is straight up one of the best pieces of music ever made. Hits them feels every time. Great mix btw.
the art I been drawing ever since I found the UT soundtracks again....
BOTPACK N.9 is by far my best track in what ever games i've played!!!
ut99 FOREVER! :D Love it so much
wow, It was like yesterday when I heard these great tunes while spending hours on ut99 and ut2004.Great times!
Seeing these maps brings back so many memories
been playing this game since i was a little kid, and i still play on the community servers to this day.
and i can't get enough of it
I thought they were all shut down!?

@@ch0wned there are still dedicated servers up, check the ut99 forums if you need guidance on setting it up
I still miss this game. Best memory of my childhood.
2024. Excellent mix for study and decompress.
I never even played unreal tournament but i've been listening to this mix nonstop for a month
this game is masterpiece, especially most rivals like quakre arena and counter stike were good games and have lot of fans, But UT was something like for adult , have this extra something, btw wanna another great soundtrack? try nfs porsch unleasched starts from psychonaught ;]
same I was born too late to play this game but youtube randomly put this in my suggestions. I listen to this at all hours of the day
There's no connection, it's just to attract attention my dude.
I love the transition between Nether animal and foregone destruction at 9:50 . The whole playlist slaps tho. Thanks for uploading
Nice old memories:) I wish back those nice days, not days, months, years I was playing this masterpiece. R.I.P. unreal Tournament:(
This make me feel so nostalgic. This game is a important part of my life
Skyward Fire and Botpack Nº9 are the best, as a kid i spent countless of hours playing AS-Mazon on Windows XP....
once you start listening to this you can't stop until it's over
It is funny how the more dangerous maps (lava giant with well lava all around, ocean floor with the risk of drowning, facing world and phobos with the risk of falling into space,Fractal with its electrical pylons) have the most relaxed and chilled music)
Mechanism 8 is relaxing and chilling music??
The course is simply and utterly unreasonably hard
Dude this mix rocks, you should totally make more stuff like this
