  • David & Stephen Rippy - New Technology (Age of Empires 1 OST)
    Immerse yourself in the iconic sounds of Age of Empires with the track "New Technology" (also known as "Gray Skies" in the remake), track number 10 on the soundtrack. This melody has evolved over time to become the cornerstone and main theme of the entire Age of Empires series, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of gaming.
    Originally composed for the first Age of Empires game, this piece has been reimagined and remastered, gaining recognition as a defining element of the game's atmosphere and emotional depth. From its humble beginnings to becoming a symbol of the epic strategy game trilogy, this track holds a special place in the hearts of fans.
    Sit back, relax, and let the music transport you back to the golden age of real-time strategy games.
    Age of Empires series offers a very unique ambient ASMR experience that I try to showcase in the best possible light I can, using the game's assets and gaming sounds to it's very limits and pushing the boundaries further every time. Let me know what you would like to see next!

    That chess game between 2 kings where pieces are animated will always be iconic.

      Yes I was hoping it would be remade for the DE but they didn't and that was such a bummer

    Shame they didn't remaster the cutscenes in the definitive edition.

      Yes they should have the aoe1 and aoe2 intro were very good

    Side note, the track was actually always called "Gray Sky". Stephen Rippy himself confirmed that. :D

      Ooh very interesting, never knew that. How come that new technology became a thing?

      @@AgeOfAmbienceASMR I was wonderwing about that as well. I think it somehow evolved as an alt title?

    Ironically, I actually consider New Technology/Gray Skies to be the best iteration so far, despite sounding more like a credits theme in AOE1 than a title screen. The Hunt was more apt for AOE1, and then later, AOE1 DE got its own New Technology remake to replace The Hunt in the style of AOE2 and AOE3, which both use the Age of Empires Theme as their title/main theme. It's a beautiful tale, actually, and reminds me of the Fire Emblem Theme, which regularly appears in mainline Fire Emblem games.

    I always loved AoE 1s soundtrack, and I think it is better than AoE2s.

      It's easily downloadable in the mods section for AoE2:DE.

    Was this a CD exclusive vanilla AoE piece?
    Midi tracklist surely did not contained it.
    I had AoE 1 only with midi.
    I had RoR with CD track and it did not had it.
    But of course i know the intro variant. :D

      I have an old CD version from my father and it's there, not RoR, just the original AoE 1

    Nah, for me "Cave" was always the best and most memorable:)

      Yes, also known as Wonder of the world, I believe. But that's not the point of the video. Here I present Gray Skies which turned to be used as the main theme for the whole aoe series not only first aoe game
