@StringPlayerGamerOfficial U should check out songs from Warhammer games Like from Mechanicus, Darktide (Mainly Darktide) and Vermintide, Jesper Kyd is an awesome composer And Warhammer has a huge fan base ;)
@StringPlayerGamerOfficial U should check out the Hyper Light Drifter soundtrack Cool weird electronic stuff with piano, some atmospheric some intense, Disasterpeice/Richard Vreeland is a super cool composer
the reason that "the calm" sounds similar to "ROBOTS!" is actually because they feature the same enemy, they're both are songs that show off the robots. :>
15:10 I can’t believe he got “Go Go Go” from art of war specifically. In the meet the team for soldier (where this song plays) he shouts “Go Go Go” while he charges in. He’s so insightful when it comes to music.
Dreams of Cruelty is an interesting song. It's the theme of the Pyro, an Offense class that's centered around burning pretty much everything in their paths. There's a part of the song that sounds like childish laughter and there's a very good reason for that. The Pyro doesn't see the world like we do. He's sees it as a pastel-colored candyland where all the other mercs are babies in his eyes, and where he thinks he's blowing bubbles and giving them lollipops, he's actually shooting them with flare guns and chopping them up with fire axes. Also, in the trailer the song plays in, it actually transitions into "Do You Believe in Magic?" by the Lovin' Spoonful after the childish laughter.
It's pretty cool in this form. You almost think you're entering his manic state of Pyroland, but suddenly it pulls out at the last second and keeps you in the burning world.
i think the idea is moreso that Pyro is a pyromaniac in the purest sense of the word, they LOVE fire, and so they see setting everything and everyone on fire as a good thing because fire is good, setting things on fire is good, pyrovision then is not literal, its just their twisted view of the world where they see fire as a good thing
@@TokyoDrift456you literally get to see what pyro sees in his Meet the Team video, he's just schizophrenic and sees fire as literal rainbows, nothing more to it
@@SolidoNaso.I’d say it’s pretty strong, but the only thing is I’d say it should deal a bit more damage. Maybe a rework is in order for the flame particles too. The only part of pyro I find annoying is the hard range cap, but even that can be improved upon with a shotgun or flare gun.
@@8-Blitz The one time I've seen gaben mention the number 3 is when soldier counted to 3 using his fingers, but he probably just went "One" "One" and "One"
@@LionmightOfficial I think at least a 4th TF2 video is in order for the songs A Little Heart To Heart and Intruder Alert Could also do It Hates Me So Much, Playing With Danger, and Faster Than A Speeding Bullet
@@CounterfeitDuck still stole a rocket launcher and hunted down nazis so effectively the army let him go at it until after the war, where he continued to hunt nazis
It's hard to suggest specific tracks. They're all worth listening to. But I'd suggest probably... "Mercenary Park" "Saxon's Dilemma" "Soldier of Dance" "It Hates me So Much" or "RED Bread" In that order
You need to do all versions of "more gun" back to back. The fact that there are three versions is a great callback to how Engineer's sentry can be upgraded to be more powerful and complex.
For Dreams of Cruelty, this part in particular- (9:01), is where they built up to "Do You Believe in Magic?" By the Lovin' Spoonful for the Meet the Pyro video. Because what everyone else sees is entirely different from the world that Pyro sees. So when the "Do You Believe in Magic?" song plays, it's what he sees which is sunshine and rainbows. Dreams of Cruelty is what everyone else sees: chaos and destruction.
The funny part about your realization with The Calm being a callback to ROBOTS! is that The Calm actually comes first, and leads _into_ ROBOTS!, which is why The Calm ends as how ROBOTS! starts!
Its amazing how much of a character these meet the team songs manage to portray in such a short time, and a testament to how well the composer knows music and theory. The title 'Art of War' is of course a Sun Tzu reference, as Soldier quotes "if fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!" In meet the soldier. It absolutely nails that marine band drumline feel and really captures the intensity of soldier's jingoistic "cheerleader for america" personality, and the fast paced intense nature of playing a rocket jumping soldier ingame.
Mike Morasky cooked with jet fuel for the TF2 soundtracks. Also, I love how "full" the original music already sounds like that it's hard to pair it with anything else, but you managed to slip your violin in. That's very impressive.
In "The Calm" soundtrack, when the electric guitar plays, It symbolizes that both teams have officially teamed up to fight against the robots, just a fun fact! Orchestra is for RED team. Electric guitar is for BLU team.
Art of War normally: It's like Agni Kai, I wanna get into a martial arts fight Art if War with the violin: Silver and Steel, I wanna fight someone with a saber.
this guys face is so expressive as he listens, my face was completely blank as i listened, but inside i felt the exact same emotions he showed on his face
The art of war in a sense is to Rick may . A legend who we lost not to long ago and was the voice of the rocket jumping America himself the soilder RIP Rick. You will be missed greatly but never forgotten.
would probably interesting to see you reacting to the corresponding trailers, where these soundtracks are used. eg. Meet the Pyro for Dreams of Cruelty and Meet the Soldier for Art of War
As a brazilian Tf2 enthusiast I went completely nuts when you recognized and mentioned the batucada. A good batucada is more than enough to completely send shivers down someone spine. The pacing and the frequency of those drums just messes with your whole body. And since I'm here I might as well send my suggestions: Deep Rock Galactic or Risk of Rain 2. Sci-fi bangers!
Damn, your violin elevates the frantic percussion of The Art of War to a whole different level. You make the fight sound so passionate in an almost desperate sort of way, like we're fighting for our lives now. For a semi-TF2 related comparison, I was reminded of the use of strings in the Blackmore's Night song used in the TF2 fragmovie called The Storm.
I like the way you handled the TF2 community, during Dreams of Cruelty. We're always excited to see new videos about the game, and can't _wait_ to unnecessarily tell you the lore! Aside from that, a heartfelt thank you from the TF2 community 🍻
I do hope you'll continue with reacting to these and eventually get to the prelude to "MEDIC!". That being, "A Little Heart to Heart". Not to mention "Seduce Me!, "Intruder Alert", and "Petite Chou-Fleur"!
It takes skill from a composer to put a story into a piece, but is takes even more skill for someone to pick out so much of the story; especially with so much accuracy! You're so in-tune with the composers of these tracks one could think you were one of them!
Finally, a proper reaction vieo. A reaction video is supposed to add depth to the topic by either explaining it, giving more details, insights and sometimes by showing the content creator's opinion. And you nailed all of it. You even gave it a huge bonus by playing your... idk... "violin" and turning the artwork into a freaking masterpiece. Good job!
I recommend you take a listen to the halloween tracks "Haunted Fortress 2" and "Misfortune Teller" (even though it's a little late for halloween, they're still interesting pieces) Edit: Also! "Intruder Alert!" is a really fun one to listen to! I recommend that one as well!
Red Bread has a good, TF2 feel to it. Together with Intruder Alert, they definitely define two ends of a spectrum, the "business" side and the "taking care of business" side.
The Art of War is easily one of the most intense soundtracks I've heard in any game. I recommend listening to some soundtracks from an indie game called "CrossCode", specifically "Valse d'Ahoge", "Ba'kii Kum" and "Vermillion Wasteland", I think you'd enjoy it a lot,
I loved you violin addition for "The Calm." That was beautifully done! The others were fun too, but that section for "The Calm" was my favorite. As for other video game music to check out I'd say the music for Frostpunk is definitely worth looking into if you haven't already. It's a gorgeous string heavy OST. "The City Must Survive" is the "boss" soundtrack of the game and very fun. The main theme sets the tone for the game and my favorite track, "The Darkest of Days," hits a feeling I'm not quite sure of how to describe other than you hope to make it through it aren't sure if it will happen.
Hey, I love your reaction. It reminds me of myself when I was younger just opening game and not even playing, just listening to game soundtrack. I do not have any background in music and I felt shame, when someone found me just listening to music in menu instead of playing the game, so seeing you vibing to my favorite games soundtracks made me enjoy these soundtracks once more. Anyways, I have just one hope and that is, that this message will reach you and you will listen to Original War (game made in 2001 by Altar Interactive) soundtrack as I spend crazy amount of time listening to its music in menu, most of the time with goosebumps. I do not beg for reaction video, at best I hope you can share your feeling once you hear it. Lore of the game might add something to experience of soundtrack. Game is about different nations, discovering new material that have great value due to its production of energy. They also discover artifacts that can be fueled by this material and they decide to travel back in time in order to secure most of this material for their nation by relocating it. Here they figure out, they are not only nation who found such artifacts and had the same idea, begins World War 0.
The Art of War just...awakens some primal part of me that's ready to run straight at an entire legion with nothing but a loincloth and spear with no doubt in my mind I could kill them all.
Fun fact: the song”dreams of cruelty” actually cut in and out of “ do you believe in magic“ in meet the Pyro because the character the song is for is the most cool but through his eyes thinks everything is sunshine and lollipop. Literally. Watch meet the Pyro and you know what I mean.
fun fact about dreams of cruelty: it's one of the songs featured in the meet the pyro video. specifically the parts where the pyro is shown off as menacing. (btw it would be cool if you reacted to Roar of the jungle dragon from the calamity mod)
I'm amazed by how you assume the plot pretty accurately just based on the music. I'd love to see another video featuring the Scout's theme (faster than a speeding bullet) and maybe the Sniper's theme as well. Great video!
One crazy good soundtrack that you'd never think you'd find on that game is for GunGirl 2. Josh Whelchel has it available on Bandcamp. It's hard to know what tracks to recommend... Opening Themes, No Looking Back!, 12-Gauge Rave, Kyrie Immanis, Anomaly (with Rachel Denlinger on violin), Phantasmagoria Ex, Heartless Abyss and Libera Me (also with Rachel Denlinger), Sing Gloria. But plenty more great stuff.
I love these videos, they're making me realize how unique each of these themes are when I otherwise didn't pay mind to them. I find that "Faster Than a Speeding Bullet" might be a good listen
Art of War is like a huge hype song when it come to final moment of the match. It hyped you up to either defend it with all you have, or push! PUSH! PUSH LIKE YOU MEAN IT!!! It's a song from The Soldier trailer where he's rushing into battle like a madman, pushing himself to the final point while obliterated the entire BLU team before his winning capture.
You should really do a reaction video on the Frostpunk soundtrack. The Game is about surviving in an apocolyptic winter set in the 1800s as the last city on earth. I recommend listening to 'the city must survive' from the main game, to 'the last autumn' and the 'on the edge' theme from the two dlc's. It's entirely orchestral, and my personal favourite soundtrack of all time. I always love watching these reaction videos, because I love learning about what makes the music I listen to so captivating.
void stranger is an indie game barely anyone seems to know about, but it has a great chip tune/symphonic soundtrack (i hope i used those words correctly lol). songs that i recommend are "void symphony", "buzzing boogie", and "voided". bth, when you were playing over the art of war it was sick, you really added even more emotional intensity than there was before. it would be cool to see a full version in the future.
Every time i hear the song calm or robots I literally intrinsically tap my foot in time with the way the robots rattle which I guess follows the baseline
I'd also suggest listening to "Saxton's Dilemma" or the "Mercenary Park" they are a little bit underrated and my personal favorites. However, there are also halloween themed musics too like the "Misfortune Teller" or "Haunted Fortress 2".
The start of "The Art of War" is also being used as the sound effekt when someone calls for a vote. So I will always associate this tune with "Kick Player: in the balls"
Mega ich liebe deine Videos, kannst ja mal in Soundtracks von den alten Warhammer Games reinschauen klasse lieder die richtig mit den Emotionen spielen können eine klasse arbeit von dir und von Musikern, haben wieder richtig gute Musik bekommen danke dir dafür. :D ^^
You should check out the music for the game "Rebel Cops", specifically the 3 songs, "Rebel Cops", "Listen up" and "At ease". Not a well known game but damn those tracks are pretty good
There's one song i really love, which is Rise of the Living Bread, hope to see you react to it one day, i really love the fact you analyzes some aspects of the soundtracks, and i am really curious to know what is your opinion about it.
The Calm is always great in how it perfectly conveys the Mann vs Machine trailer it's from even without the visuals. As for recommendations, here's three tracks from Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character that you could listen to: - Dullahan Under the Willows (Sekibanki's theme) - Primordial Beat - Pristine Beat (Raiko's theme) - Inchling of the Shining Needle - Little Princess (Shinmyoumaru's theme)
I'd one up you on that and go Touhou 10: Mouthain of Faith. Fall of Fall (Stage 4 Theme) The Primal Scene of Japan the Girl saw (Stage 5 Theme) Cemetary of Onbashira - Grave of Being (Stage 6 Theme) OR Dark Side of Fate (Mina's Theme) Faith is for the Transient People (Sanae's Theme) Native Faith (Suwako's Theme)
Tf2 definitely has a really interesting soundtrack! I'd also recommend you the Blazing Beaks or Subnautica soundtracks, both create an awesome atmosphere.
The mvm soundtrack actually paints an image, the first part is the western theme in the mercs, then it transforms into an unsure suspenseful track to show something is coming, then the overly robotic modern theme showing the robots and then the two themes at once showing the mercs fighting against them
Context for "The Calm" and "ROBOTS!": Mann Co., the corporation the mercenaries work for, is under attack by a man with an army of money-fueled robots. Setting aside their feud, the mercenaries from both sides band together to stand against the mechanized army, and protect what they work for. Context for "Dreams of Cruelty": All of the Mercenaries are afraid of pyro. As spy puts it, "one shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask... what dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?". As it turns out, Pyro is a delusional schizophrenic, and the music portrays the actions of Pyro, from the view of those on the wrong end of his flamethrower. Context for "The Art of War": Soldier, despite his name, never was a soldier. In fact, he was rejected from every single branch of the military. This, however, didn't stop him from buying tickets to Germany, and going on a rampage killing Germans in the name of America in WWII. Turns out, WWII had ended, and he was just a crazy, lead-poisoned loon killing Germans. His crazy militaristic character bleeds into this track as it's one showing off his behavior on the battlefield, rocket launcher in hand. Each pause gives way to a cutaway of him lecturing a bunch of troops, which turn out to actually be severed heads!
You should make a video where you react to the "Meet them all" playlist made by Valve, most of the music you reacted to is in those videos and you get to see the mercs in action!
"The Calm" is basically the mix of theme signatures for the 6 characters that are shown in the video: Heavy, Scout, Engi, Soldier, Demo an Medic, which make up the basic team for Mann Vs Machine. Heavy kicks it off with the neutral drone, then Scout shows up and brings the drum roll, Engi appears with his guitar and that's where the melody comes in... then the breakdown and silence, enter Soldier and Demo as the drum picks up again, and finally Medic for the last stinger with a trumpet. then, "Robots!" begins, with the electronic theremin sound and the militaristic beat. that's the trailer for MVM.
The reason why the baby laughing was heard in Dreams Of Cruelty is because of copyright issues, the character this is based off of has a gas mask that transforms their vision into cute and cuddly not realizing whats happening in reality. (meaning the song was switching back and forth from intense too calm or rainbows and sunshine, but unable too in the ost for copyright)
So art of war, i always pictured as drums of war sounding to arms, with drum line battalions answering the call and reporting in, with line infantryman drummers sounding to order and formation, to amass and prepare for the battle ahead with horns blaring to sound the advance, the march of thousands to war.
Art of war is very similar to a lot of the marching band pieces I would do with my drumline when I was in it. It’s taking advantage of the fact that you have multiple percussionists doing different parts on the same instrument. Also that sound that almost sounds like a roar isn’t added in later, it’s actually a really fast Bassdrum roll between about 4-5 drums There’s a lot in it and it’s 100% in the style of a marching band drumline and every instrument there is something we could and have brought into the field and marched with for various pieces before.
I'll once again recommend the soundtrack from Gunpoint (released June 3, 2013) Some specific track recommendations (in the unlikely event that a reaction video is made): Main Theme (Melancholia) 'Round Gunpoint The Five-Floor Goodbye The Five-Floor Goodbye (Crosslink) Stealth Crawls and Dance Halls Electric Fedora
If you havent yet, id highly recommend checking out some of these songs with the animated videos that they were made for to see how the vibes match, or dont. I also think youd really enjoy the videos themselves as they still hold up all these years later.
People definitely already said it, but the reason "The Calm" ends with the melody of "ROBOTS!" is because in the MvM promo short, "ROBOTS!" play right after it. The Calm represents the team banding together and waiting in anticipation for the bots to come out, while ROBOTS! illustrate the all out attack of the robots.
Be sure to check out the rest of my Team Fortress 2 reaction videos in this nifty playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLwRZyK9G5xi4UA_ojDXU04SOSFmq4aMgA.html

The main theme sets the tone for the game and my favorite track, "The Darkest of Days," hits a feeling I'm not quite sure of how to describe other than you hope to make it through it aren't sure if it will happen.
You have to listen to "Soldier Of Dance", it's one of, if not, THE most iconic tf2 track next to its theme song
Hey, I love your reaction. It reminds me of myself when I was younger just opening game and not even playing, just listening to game soundtrack. I do not have any background in music and I felt shame, when someone found me just listening to music in menu instead of playing the game, so seeing you vibing to my favorite games soundtracks made me enjoy these soundtracks once more.
Anyways, I have just one hope and that is, that this message will reach you and you will listen to Original War (game made in 2001 by Altar Interactive) soundtrack as I spend crazy amount of time listening to its music in menu, most of the time with goosebumps. I do not beg for reaction video, at best I hope you can share your feeling once you hear it.
Lore of the game might add something to experience of soundtrack. Game is about different nations, discovering new material that have great value due to its production of energy. They also discover artifacts that can be fueled by this material and they decide to travel back in time in order to secure most of this material for their nation by relocating it. Here they figure out, they are not only nation who found such artifacts and had the same idea, begins World War 0.
Thank you so much for your support!!
The Art of War just...awakens some primal part of me that's ready to run straight at an entire legion with nothing but a loincloth and spear with no doubt in my mind I could kill them all.
Fun fact: the song”dreams of cruelty” actually cut in and out of “ do you believe in magic“ in meet the Pyro because the character the song is for is the most cool but through his eyes thinks everything is sunshine and lollipop. Literally. Watch meet the Pyro and you know what I mean.
for some reason it looked like string player was having ptsd when listening to "dreams of cruelty"
ong pyro face reveal? pyro from tf2 was string player on god fr fr??1!!1one
The way the synths from ROBOTS! started and his eyes just popped open... oh I love this soundtrack
fun fact about dreams of cruelty: it's one of the songs featured in the meet the pyro video. specifically the parts where the pyro is shown off as menacing. (btw it would be cool if you reacted to Roar of the jungle dragon from the calamity mod)
The guy who's behind this music (Mike Moraski) did the sound track also for Half-Life Alyx. Very synthy. Credits song made me tear up
and also the portal 2 OST. pretty talented guy
I'd love to see a Splatoon 3 Ost reaction, the music throughout the entire franchise has always been very unique and memorable
13:38 "Batucada" is a Brazilian slang for "lots of thunk sounds". I can't tell if it is originated here, but it is definitely a very common word here.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batucada
@@LionmightOfficial yep exactly.
I really want a series now where you react to the actual videos and see just how good the music really fits to the on-screen assemble
I'm amazed by how you assume the plot pretty accurately just based on the music. I'd love to see another video featuring the Scout's theme (faster than a speeding bullet) and maybe the Sniper's theme as well. Great video!
Recommend you check out the Half Life 2 soundtrack “Something Secret Steers us” and “Combine Harvester” are my favorites
yes
Definetly! Good recommendation!
Next time do the Conga!
Because I LOVE THE GONGA!!!
One crazy good soundtrack that you'd never think you'd find on that game is for GunGirl 2. Josh Whelchel has it available on Bandcamp. It's hard to know what tracks to recommend... Opening Themes, No Looking Back!, 12-Gauge Rave, Kyrie Immanis, Anomaly (with Rachel Denlinger on violin), Phantasmagoria Ex, Heartless Abyss and Libera Me (also with Rachel Denlinger), Sing Gloria. But plenty more great stuff.
i loved your playing over dreams of cruelty, it really made me consider the song in a different way
I love these videos, they're making me realize how unique each of these themes are when I otherwise didn't pay mind to them. I find that "Faster Than a Speeding Bullet" might be a good listen
Art of War is like a huge hype song when it come to final moment of the match.
It hyped you up to either defend it with all you have, or push! PUSH! PUSH LIKE YOU MEAN IT!!!
It's a song from The Soldier trailer where he's rushing into battle like a madman, pushing himself to the final point while obliterated the entire BLU team before his winning capture.
You should really do a reaction video on the Frostpunk soundtrack. The Game is about surviving in an apocolyptic winter set in the 1800s as the last city on earth. I recommend listening to 'the city must survive' from the main game, to 'the last autumn' and the 'on the edge' theme from the two dlc's. It's entirely orchestral, and my personal favourite soundtrack of all time. I always love watching these reaction videos, because I love learning about what makes the music I listen to so captivating.
15:21 i want a full version this is amazing
void stranger is an indie game barely anyone seems to know about, but it has a great chip tune/symphonic soundtrack (i hope i used those words correctly lol). songs that i recommend are "void symphony", "buzzing boogie", and "voided". bth, when you were playing over the art of war it was sick, you really added even more emotional intensity than there was before. it would be cool to see a full version in the future.
Every time i hear the song calm or robots I literally intrinsically tap my foot in time with the way the robots rattle which I guess follows the baseline
I'd also suggest listening to "Saxton's Dilemma" or the "Mercenary Park" they are a little bit underrated and my personal favorites. However, there are also halloween themed musics too like the "Misfortune Teller" or "Haunted Fortress 2".
The start of "The Art of War" is also being used as the sound effekt when someone calls for a vote.
So I will always associate this tune with "Kick Player: in the balls"
Your reactions are mesmerizing to watch. Love your in-depth insight to each piece
Mega ich liebe deine Videos, kannst ja mal in Soundtracks von den alten Warhammer Games reinschauen klasse lieder die richtig mit den Emotionen spielen können eine klasse arbeit von dir und von Musikern, haben wieder richtig gute Musik bekommen danke dir dafür. :D ^^
I don’t play this game and have never heard of it, but yeah, SPG is an amazing producer and listening to him talk about music is just mesmerizing.
I love the switch from dreams of cruelty to do you believe in magic by a lovin spoonful
The musical additions you make are always awesome.
You should check out the music for the game "Rebel Cops", specifically the 3 songs, "Rebel Cops", "Listen up" and "At ease". Not a well known game but damn those tracks are pretty good
Perfect timing! I've been listening to the calm and imagining all sorts of western scenarios :D
One thing about dreams of cruelty is “ do you believe in magic” starts playing half way through in the trailer it was used in”
There's one song i really love, which is Rise of the Living Bread, hope to see you react to it one day, i really love the fact you analyzes some aspects of the soundtracks, and i am really curious to know what is your opinion about it.
I think you'll like "Seduce me!" And "It hates me so much"
He absolutely has to
always glad to see another video!
(p.s, i think you'll enjoy the track called "more gun")
Watch part 1 and part 2 of my TF2 reaction videos.
The Calm is always great in how it perfectly conveys the Mann vs Machine trailer it's from even without the visuals.
As for recommendations, here's three tracks from Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character that you could listen to:
- Dullahan Under the Willows (Sekibanki's theme)
- Primordial Beat - Pristine Beat (Raiko's theme)
- Inchling of the Shining Needle - Little Princess (Shinmyoumaru's theme)
Touhou mentioned *Yui celebrates*
shinmy!!!! banki!!!!!!!!!!
I'd one up you on that and go Touhou 10: Mouthain of Faith.
Fall of Fall (Stage 4 Theme)
The Primal Scene of Japan the Girl saw (Stage 5 Theme)
Cemetary of Onbashira - Grave of Being (Stage 6 Theme)
OR
Dark Side of Fate (Mina's Theme)
Faith is for the Transient People (Sanae's Theme)
Native Faith (Suwako's Theme)
My favorite TF2 song is "It hates me so much"
Tf2 definitely has a really interesting soundtrack! I'd also recommend you the Blazing Beaks or Subnautica soundtracks, both create an awesome atmosphere.
The mvm soundtrack actually paints an image, the first part is the western theme in the mercs, then it transforms into an unsure suspenseful track to show something is coming, then the overly robotic modern theme showing the robots and then the two themes at once showing the mercs fighting against them
Context for "The Calm" and "ROBOTS!":
Mann Co., the corporation the mercenaries work for, is under attack by a man with an army of money-fueled robots. Setting aside their feud, the mercenaries from both sides band together to stand against the mechanized army, and protect what they work for.
Context for "Dreams of Cruelty":
All of the Mercenaries are afraid of pyro. As spy puts it, "one shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask... what dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?". As it turns out, Pyro is a delusional schizophrenic, and the music portrays the actions of Pyro, from the view of those on the wrong end of his flamethrower.
Context for "The Art of War":
Soldier, despite his name, never was a soldier. In fact, he was rejected from every single branch of the military. This, however, didn't stop him from buying tickets to Germany, and going on a rampage killing Germans in the name of America in WWII. Turns out, WWII had ended, and he was just a crazy, lead-poisoned loon killing Germans. His crazy militaristic character bleeds into this track as it's one showing off his behavior on the battlefield, rocket launcher in hand. Each pause gives way to a cutaway of him lecturing a bunch of troops, which turn out to actually be severed heads!
The calm is just a prequel to robots!
You should make a video where you react to the "Meet them all" playlist made by Valve, most of the music you reacted to is in those videos and you get to see the mercs in action!
Nah
@@LionmightOfficial oh ok
"The Calm" is basically the mix of theme signatures for the 6 characters that are shown in the video: Heavy, Scout, Engi, Soldier, Demo an Medic, which make up the basic team for Mann Vs Machine.
Heavy kicks it off with the neutral drone, then Scout shows up and brings the drum roll, Engi appears with his guitar and that's where the melody comes in... then the breakdown and silence, enter Soldier and Demo as the drum picks up again, and finally Medic for the last stinger with a trumpet.
then, "Robots!" begins, with the electronic theremin sound and the militaristic beat.
that's the trailer for MVM.
I'd love to see some music from the game Wizard with a gun, I recommend, ballad of the bog and take your shot and chaos reigns
The reason why the baby laughing was heard in Dreams Of Cruelty is because of copyright issues, the character this is based off of has a gas mask that transforms their vision into cute and cuddly not realizing whats happening in reality. (meaning the song was switching back and forth from intense too calm or rainbows and sunshine, but unable too in the ost for copyright)
So art of war, i always pictured as drums of war sounding to arms, with drum line battalions answering the call and reporting in, with line infantryman drummers sounding to order and formation, to amass and prepare for the battle ahead with horns blaring to sound the advance, the march of thousands to war.
I like how 'The Art Of War' has it's instruments used as the actual games sound effects, implying that the game is made with war
The vid was so good, i ate while seeing it
Thank you!
I highly recommend ost for first medieval total war, it can be divided into arabic, viking and european parts of soundtrack
Man you have to listen to The most Fashionable Faction, a tf2 fan song
Art of war is very similar to a lot of the marching band pieces I would do with my drumline when I was in it. It’s taking advantage of the fact that you have multiple percussionists doing different parts on the same instrument. Also that sound that almost sounds like a roar isn’t added in later, it’s actually a really fast Bassdrum roll between about 4-5 drums
There’s a lot in it and it’s 100% in the style of a marching band drumline and every instrument there is something we could and have brought into the field and marched with for various pieces before.
I'll once again recommend the soundtrack from Gunpoint (released June 3, 2013)
Some specific track recommendations (in the unlikely event that a reaction video is made):
Main Theme (Melancholia)
'Round Gunpoint
The Five-Floor Goodbye
The Five-Floor Goodbye (Crosslink)
Stealth Crawls and Dance Halls
Electric Fedora
Favorite TF2 track: "It hates me so much"
Luigi and TF2 in the first ten seconds this is a great video
If you havent yet, id highly recommend checking out some of these songs with the animated videos that they were made for to see how the vibes match, or dont. I also think youd really enjoy the videos themselves as they still hold up all these years later.
0:03 is that the looigis mantion teem
People definitely already said it, but the reason "The Calm" ends with the melody of "ROBOTS!" is because in the MvM promo short, "ROBOTS!" play right after it.
The Calm represents the team banding together and waiting in anticipation for the bots to come out, while ROBOTS! illustrate the all out attack of the robots.
The goosebumps when the tune in The Calm links up with Robots!
