Oh my god. You're actually the guy that made the music to this game! I just have to tell you that hearing "Blockade" and "Protect The Gallimimus" for the first time was WAY beyod epic back in the day. I was just thinking about recording blockade for a possible gig intro in the future and how i'd have to ask the guy that did it if I wanted to do it, and here I am, commenting on your video! Seriously, mega thanks for all the childhood smiles with these sounds, first SNES game I ever saw.
The bass is simply a small looping sample of a synth bass and the pitch is manually bent on the bass, strings and other sounds to give a more eerie feel.
I just had a chance encountering a synth preset in Rapture Pro that has those low eerie chords I was talking about all those years ago. It's not 1:1, but close enough for me. Check out "LowSeed" in Atmospheric if you have it.
This music scared me so badly back when I was a kid, watching my brother play this game at night. I spent many nights sobbing into the pillow as this kept playing in my head. I heard it again for the first time since then a couple of years ago and it still made my eyes water. Today I have it on my portable music player. It's an incredibly moody music with a strange oppressive weight to it. I can't recall any other soundtrack on the SNES quite like this one. Great, despite all the tears. :')
ZaLO it would've fit perfectly in Alien Trilogy right at the level just right before the Alien Queen during the first part where you come across the cocooned victims weakly pleading "kill me!"
Omg!!! You really wrote this music?? This game is probably my favorite SNES game of all time and as lioneyejr says its soundtrack is beyond amazing! My absolute favorite track was the one in High Ptera level :D There are no more game music writers like you anymore man, hands down!
This is up there with some of the best environmental music from Super Metroid. Absolutely incredible mood-setting, the tension and the fear is so thick you can scarcely cut it with an axe.
I fucking love this one. So ominous! It's one of my favorite soundtracks, from one of my favorite movies/games, on the best console of all time! Phenomenal work.
ooo i like this music. really dark and eerie and foreboding. like "dont go in there pal thats death mountain aint nobody ever came back from there" and youre like "but this magic crystal must return to the emperor and this is the only way through" and hes like "alright but dont say i didnt warn you" and you hear the wolf howl off in the distance and you walk on towards passing the dead tree ect.
This was arguably one of the first SNES tunes that actually scared me back in the day. This is arguably the only time I've ever heard this particular bass synth that sounded much like the one used in some horror/suspense films and shows of the 90s. Today, I'm currently curious as to how to make or find a bass that has similar effects as the one used in this song (the one that often eerily drops or rises in pitch , most notably at the beginning of the song).
+thehoosierfortheUK yeah right start it off with fog and such then show clippings of dead people the slasher killed while that track is playing in the background
+Sylvester Wallace how about a psychological horror movie where a man is emotionally rejected by his long love and he feels unwanted and it escalates from depression to hallucinations and eerie visions and a sinister entity following him but he doesn't become a killer. He fights a growing evil within him sort of like an anti mr hyde!
Contra Styled? Are You Kiddin' me? I don't Believe! This track it's totally Inside of Dark Ambient Music because it's so dark, deep, and Scary! It's totally appropriate to Terror or Alien movies, or a Death Penalty execution because this name it's totally right to this situation. You are a complete composer, but, in my point of view, you're better like Dark Ambient composer. Congratulations!!!
I know I've heard this somewhere before in a couple of scary movies, but I can't pinpoint which ones this music reminds me of. It's so familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
That's the same Choir synth that was used in that Lawnmower Man SNES game, isn't it? Figures two games with underrated soundtracks would use similar soundfonts!
it's missing the raptor noises... that really completes the tune... and the trick to beating this game is to play it on an emulator where you can slow the game speed down to 77%. i could never get past that pterodactyl level on the cliffs as a kid...
Its too bad you haven't uploaded all the music to this game I really like listening to high ptera and seek and destroy, it would be nice if you uploaded those too.
ah Doom, the masterpiece, entry levels are heavy metal bangers inspired, the more you progress, the more the soundtrack really is tortured gothic, desolate, death. i am death, i am.. the demons.
do you have the music that starts when the gas was activated? That song kicks ass. "Raptor Attack" was hard as hell. The poison gas slowly eating away your life bar while you're getting clawed in the face by the surviving raptors on your way out
Hi, apologies for the incredibly late reply. Yes I do have the other pieces, but I only uploaded what I thought would be most popular. Also the gas music is only a very small looped sequence, I didn't think anyone would want to listen to that. It is similar to the short piece that plays when you need to escape the volcano after placing the bomb. I will however dig out the other JP2 tracks and upload those if people would like to hear them.

You’re a strange fellow
Do you still listen to it?
that level was so dark and deep
it looks and sounds more like Aliens
ZaLO it would've fit perfectly in Alien Trilogy right at the level just right before the Alien Queen during the first part where you come across the cocooned victims weakly pleading "kill me!"
25 years later, this still gives me the chills.
Omg!!! You really wrote this music?? This game is probably my favorite SNES game of all time and as lioneyejr says its soundtrack is beyond amazing! My absolute favorite track was the one in High Ptera level :D There are no more game music writers like you anymore man, hands down!
Loved the synthesized choir, the bass and the stereo panning. Dean Evans and Jonathan Dunn were ahead of their time.
This is up there with some of the best environmental music from Super Metroid. Absolutely incredible mood-setting, the tension and the fear is so thick you can scarcely cut it with an axe.
Glad you liked the music :)
Dean Evans you have GOT to have uncompressed variations
So many years later, and this music still AWESOME!!! U are a genious man!
This gave me the creeps
I fucking love this one. So ominous! It's one of my favorite soundtracks, from one of my favorite movies/games, on the best console of all time! Phenomenal work.
Wow finding this soundtrack again this level and music always made me move cautiously on this level like it was a horror game.
2:49 I am suffocating
3:46 I am alive!!!
Give this dude an Oscar!!!
If you truly are one of the creators of these iconic pieces then I am honored that you have seen this comment
Man Dolby Surround adds a lot to this too
ooo i like this music. really dark and eerie and foreboding. like "dont go in there pal thats death mountain aint nobody ever came back from there" and youre like "but this magic crystal must return to the emperor and this is the only way through" and hes like "alright but dont say i didnt warn you" and you hear the wolf howl off in the distance and you walk on towards passing the dead tree ect.
The fact it was one of the few surround sound games gave it a more dramatic feel.
Incredible moody, Dean you are a legend!

Today, I'm currently curious as to how to make or find a bass that has similar effects as the one used in this song (the one that often eerily drops or rises in pitch , most notably at the beginning of the song).
you could use this song as an introductory of a scary movie that's how awesome it is
Hell Yeah! A slasher movie or a sex based horror movie that's either supernatural or psychological!
+thehoosierfortheUK yeah right start it off with fog and such then show clippings of dead people the slasher killed while that track is playing in the background
+Sylvester Wallace how about a psychological horror movie where a man is emotionally rejected by his long love and he feels unwanted and it escalates from depression to hallucinations and eerie visions and a sinister entity following him but he doesn't become a killer. He fights a growing evil within him sort of like an anti mr hyde!
Totally in agreement. Or Alien movie
Thank you Dean, that's awesome.
No permission needed as it's all out there in the open anyway and I am still composing and doing a little work in the game industry.
Dean Evans great job dean
dean Evans you really did a great job with the music for this game what else have you done
Contra Styled? Are You Kiddin' me? I don't Believe! This track it's totally Inside of Dark Ambient Music because it's so dark, deep, and Scary!

Oh so very very far from complete, but thanks, glad you liked the track :)
I know I've heard this somewhere before in a couple of scary movies, but I can't pinpoint which ones this music reminds me of. It's so familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
This game pushed the limits of the Sony SPC700.
Damn, this song is menacing! It'd be excellent for a horror movie!
Or a scene of death penalty execution by gas chamber because the name
That's the same Choir synth that was used in that Lawnmower Man SNES game, isn't it?
Figures two games with underrated soundtracks would use similar soundfonts!
You are the John Williams of JP games and are a greater contributor to the JP mythos than JP3 on up
Ominous
it's missing the raptor noises... that really completes the tune...
and the trick to beating this game is to play it on an emulator where you can slow the game speed down to 77%. i could never get past that pterodactyl level on the cliffs as a kid...
This would be excellent for a horror film!
Destroy the Biosyn headquarters stage was tough and long.
Reminds me of Castlevania :)
I hope both Ocean JP titles get ported to modern systems!
Any plans to sell this and another pieces on a remastered CD edition?
Ah, meine favorite level!~ If it vere about me, I vould have gassed all of der yaüshi islanden!
for fucks sake, that was the hardest decision in vidya history as sacrificing 100 yoshies !
you poners are horrible
Its too bad you haven't uploaded all the music to this game I really like listening to high ptera and seek and destroy, it would be nice if you uploaded those too.
Humans ancestors maybe. C'est incroyable.
'round here, nopony would believe humans ever existed.
@@PRlNCESSCELESTIAALMIGHTY damn it Celestia! you bloody horse-god.
sounds kinda like the final level of doom 2
ah Doom, the masterpiece, entry levels are heavy metal bangers inspired, the more you progress, the more the soundtrack really is tortured gothic, desolate, death. i am death, i am.. the demons.
Dean evens your the man
do you have the music that starts when the gas was activated? That song kicks ass. "Raptor Attack" was hard as hell. The poison gas slowly eating away your life bar while you're getting clawed in the face by the surviving raptors on your way out
Especially when choose this mission first.

I would listen to the entire soundtrack,
It's similar to escape from T-Rex too.
Oh god.... Fun game, but SO FREAKING HARD!!!!
