It'll never not sound cool. I got in an argument on Discord last night about best game soundtracks and still contend in 2018 that Jazz Jackrabbit and Zone 66 have the best ones to date.
@@spazzypengin If we talk of 90s or older soundtracks that really hold up, Starcraft 1, Age of empires 2, Red alert and Death Rally. Those are only soundtracks I can listen through without skipping tracks. Secret of Mana 2 and Doom 2 get an honourary mention.
It rather fades in comparison to the updated version. The very low-fi taste of it can have distinct appeal, though - making it, in a way, shine through how unpolished and amateurish it is; letting you feel almost as if you were sitting next to your friend while he's experimenting with music on his Amiga computer.
@@Hugmir I see what you mean.... But I honestly can (and have*) put this version on repeat for hours on end, and not get tired of it (or the _"are you ready!"_ ) at all. Looped seamlessly just like in-game for HOURS. (Tube remix just doesn't loop that well, I wish it did, would be the soundtrack to my life) Entire workdays worth of me just coding to this, it was great. Yes. I'm a very balanced and stable individual ;) *With a MODtracker plugin in Winamp on a system long since relegated to the dusty lower shelves of my closets. But I feel strongly compelled to replicate the setup now.
the bass line and following synth lead is so declaring. very catchy. amazing that this one is composed on monochord except the riff of the hook(that part, too is centered on the main chord) and it never gets old. wonder how the composer made the sound that sounds still good. the music really contributes to the major part of the success of this game.
Well not to mention most PC games during this era commonly were output to MIDI and the quality of the sound would depend on what version MIDI sound card you got heh. I remember hearing this music as a kid and it blew my mind.
I have started going cycling more and have added this to my playlist for it as well as other game OSTs, so far I'm enjoying it. This is my favourite theme in the game with Medivo coming a close second. I like the '80s vibes the soundtrack gives even though it was produced in the '90s. The bass drop in this tune is awesome. I also loved the dark blue and black aesthetic in this level and made those floating eye creatures even scarier. I downloaded the game onto my current computer due to the nostalgia and I actually would like to complete the entire game, I'm currently stuck on the magnetic level where these floating drones chase you and shoot at you.
Listening in 2023, first played this game in 1997! Something about the opening just sounds like an early October evening, right as you first notice “whoa, it’s getting dark earlier now”
I wonder why people like JJ2 soundtrack. Personally I've found it quite disappointing. A couple of new tunes were ok (not great, but good enough) but remixes of old ones...
fizikshizik JJ2 doesn't have too bad of an ost, but I do agree that some of the tunes sound uninspiring. After all those years, I still consider the soundtrack of the first game to be the freshest and most innovative.
menslady125 I know. Or do you remember that robot or hovery thingy on "Scraparap"? It followed you through the entire level, shooting from behind you. ARGH XD
Best Jazz Jackrabbit themes: 1) Tubelectric (the craziest one) 2) Orbitus (the do-do-do one) 3) Crysilis (the beautiful one) 4) Technoir (the j-j-j jackrabbit one) 5) Medivo (the gregorian chant one) 6) Sluggion (the weirdest one)
this music makes me picture Baloo from the Jungle Book flying through the cosmos, dodging meteors and clearing his way through Asteroid Fields with his constantly-shooting eye lasers, all the while with a big smile on his face as he bobs his head back and forth to the music. Meanwhile Mowgli is surfing on his back, hunched low as to avoid Asteroid rubble.
I have seen your posts. Jazz Jackrabbit has several Planets with a nature theme (Jungrock,Rainforus,Diamondus,...) wich would somehow fit to the Junglebook, so why do you associate all the industrial dystopias (Tubelectric, Technoir) with it ? The manual discripes Tubelectric as radioavtive contaminated oil rafinery and Technoir a poisionous planet free of plant life. Not exactly the same setting as the Jungle book. Or do you wan't to make a point about pollution in modern India ?
Salvadali That idea is gay and stupid. Why would you even consider comparing Jazz to that cringeworthy piece of shit? THEY ARE NOTHING ALIKE. If you are going to compare the game to another media, then compare it to something that isn't crap instead, such as Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog like the game's developers would expect.
I think this is more Baloo from his tail spin days. He upgraded the sea duck to the space duck, and now fights off the baddies trying to steal his interstellar cargo. Kit could be there too, flying his new space-aero disc, and zapping baddies with an arm cannon. Cool idea, man!
I don't know if I'm the only one, but this music reminds me of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, especially Blue and Red Rescue Team/DX specifically Thunderwave Cave and Mt. Steel mainly. I am ever so happy to have Jazz Jackrabbit as a kid before the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games came out, and I love those too.
yeah, actually, Cliff Bleszinski, the design director for Unreal Tournament and Gears of War, was in fact the co-creator of this game... damn, now I'm proud for playing the hell out of this game as a kid!

This song was so good that it got remixed in the 2nd game!
I REMEMBER IT FROM JJ2!
I'm surprised this theme still sounds so cool

Crazy composition. Remember that only four sounds could play at the same time.
They got around some of that by literally having chord samples! Common trick for MOD files but I'm glad they did it; the result is great.
Actually, listening carefully, I don't even think they used that trick in this tune!

I believe they were composed using Scream Tracker 3, so it's all PCM audio.

To others you appear as Giles Corey.
But secretly, you are a Coroner (Town Traitor).
Ah yes, I can truly track my taste in electronic music right back to this banger. Either it was ahead of its time, or it is simply an ageless track.
this is still the ABSOLUTE SLAP
that BASS DROP. i mean seriously. got dam
Sounds very SNES like (1:24 - 1:39)
Epic truly was the "Rareware" of DOS. Hot damn!
LipServus by Sunshine it was all totally "unreal", right?
Yea dude .. everything they made was "Epic" :D
Listening in 2023, first played this game in 1997! Something about the opening just sounds like an early October evening, right as you first notice “whoa, it’s getting dark earlier now”
Such a good game... I still remember when my dad bought this game at the same time as our very first sound card -- a Gravis Ultrasound. Good times.
jazz jackrabbit soundtrack was amazing, jazz jackrabbit 2's soundtrack was EPIC
I see what you did there.
;)

I always liked the first game
more then the second maybe because I dislike the super zoomed out feel and emptiness of the levels...... nah its just me
This is composed very excellently.
DROP THE BASE! 1:07
You have a badass profile pic!
Glad to hear this from SMW central 😉
How much would you pay for an Jaz Jackrabbit collection for the switch... the answer is yess
My childhood! I hated those sparks, that could noclip through tiles.
***** They are a pain, aren't they? They're like ghosts in Mario.
menslady125 I know. Or do you remember that robot or hovery thingy on "Scraparap"? It followed you through the entire level, shooting from behind you. ARGH XD
*****
OH, yes! HATE 'EM!
***** Yeah, they behaved just like ghosts in Super Mario World.
@115673186515958810543 I was also a little bit scared of them, a fact which now I find to be quite daft and funny.
I hate the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 version of this, it sounds kind of dumb and too "hip"-ish.
Tu as raison
@Esuard Leder Well I'm about 32 years old, so...

would love to see this as a music video :D
great to hear someone else's imagination while listening to music. Sounds great man.

My favorite planet, levels and of this classic and my favorite game of all the times

I am ever so happy to have Jazz Jackrabbit as a kid before the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games came out, and I love those too.
Timeless sound
The 1:08 breakdown sounds like Daft Punk's Short Circuit
Na, na, na, na, nananaaaa 🎶
Good Track♥
Amazing game !
Infancia (:
It’s 2018 and this is still epic.
2019 and it's rockin out still!
Maybe because it was made by....
EPIC games.
Ba-dum-thsh.

2021 and we are rockin out still!
2022 and still rockin!
1:07 into the cyberspace
Stereo at it's best
THIS IS THE SHIT
this and technoir are the best
I like this version much better than the JJ2 version.
I went through some of the remixes of this piece and they are cool, but I still come back to the original.
dat bass drop!
5 people couldn't get to the 2nd planet.
Personally I prefer the JJ2 remix of this track better but this one's still pretty good
I like the verse of the JJ 2 version better, but I think this one has the much more memorable refrain. (1:10)
It'd be perfect if the "Are you ready!?" thing was removed.
I always liked this one because it just sounds so much less chill. Rave to the grave.
I think Jazz Jackrabbitt is the better Sonic - The Hedgehog for the PC. :D
alguien que hable en español
este juego fue mi infancia
Lo mismo digo !
Y de la mía
Quiero volver a jugarlo :( el soundtrack estaba a toda madre
Fast Tracker 2, how i miss thee...
psst! 16-bits.org/ft2.php
here is a working clone for the modern operating systems.
Seven years late, but those were S3M files, Scream Tracker modules.
Cool song!
i came here for hard-panned fifths
better than the remix(unpopular opinion)
Now relistening to JJ is it just me that this song reminds me of Unreal Tournament in the first part? Nevermind, both OSTs were fine then.
i love this soundtrack!
This sounds like music from some Electronics commercial
Jazz Jackrabbit, Epic Pinball, Unreal... miss those soundtracks
Well, it's not the stereo version I grew up with, but it's still a cool track regardless!
Iee iee, iee iee iee, iee iee iee, iee iee iee, iee iee iee, iee iee iee... *ta-da-dah* IEIEIEIEIEIE, IEIEIEIE, IEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEEIEIEIEIEEEIEE IEIEIEIEIEIE, IEIEIEIE, IEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEEIEIEIEIEEEIEE...
Wow wow wow
THIS. This is the shit. ❤
better than stranger things.
01:07 01:24
Tubelectric sound is bombastic
Hey PC gamers! I play BOTH! Mess with me, I dare YA!
This is awesome!
Epic Megagames is actually the Owner of UDK (Unreal Development Kit)...
yeah, actually, Cliff Bleszinski, the design director for Unreal Tournament and Gears of War, was in fact the co-creator of this game... damn, now I'm proud for playing the hell out of this game as a kid!
hagglefaen i tried to develop on UDK but is really REALLY expensive for an indie developer.. !
need remake do not change or update the music
kiedys to bylo ;]
Still crazyest trip back to childhood
Break dsnce music
I like the remix of this track from JJ2 better IMO
It reminds me a part of my childhood..
Ηλία καλημέρα
모두다 죽었다,집에들 못간다,
화려한 분노다 마음껏 울어라.
이유는 없다,
분노한거면 한거지,가드올려!
의문의 분노,너희들 다 덤벼봐 날 못말려 준비해 브롸!
강철의 돈까스,무적의 돈까스,강철의 돈까스,무적의 돈까스
분노의 댄스지롱,
차인표보다 자신도 있지롱!!
would be cool if you didnt look same track many times.
