This music is so good, I wish Hylics was a real game
... Are you implying that Hylics isn't a real game? Now that's just crazy talk!
Well you are in luck, my friend!
Introducing, Hylics 2. The easy way to confuse all your friends but still have a blast!
Come to think of it, hylics absolutely has the style of a game that doesn't exist
Fr. The designs are so cool too, i wish hylics was real
@@lasorman8492hylics doesn’t exist nor has it ever existed it’s all in your head
mason lindroth: okay so its a bonus track dont go to wild
chuck:
Y'know what, I'll say it.
Chuck MUST'VE known what he was doing while making this. Certain parts of this song have that stereotypically "sexy" sound of guitar. WAYNE IS THE EPITOME OF COOL DUDE. LEATHER JACKET, GUITAR, SOMETIMES EVEN SUNGLASSES. this guy is MEANT to make you jealous.
wait how the hell does Wayne wear sunglasses
@@user-burnerHe rests his comically wide shades between his two horns. (?)
You know, sometimes dying over and over again is not as bad when you are with good company.
Everyone and everything has a limit, though… (😉)
Preach brother
It's Wayne's World. We just live in it.
Its been year my dude
"An Endless Cycle" Yeah, i know. Because I keep playing the song on repeat endlessly.
lol, that's my bad.
the artist is so fucking genius
After saving the world twice, I think we can all agree our main cast deserved their own theme's. Thanks Mason, and Chuck for these amazing compositions!
I actually found Pongorma to be my top favorite character, but yeah Wayne's cool
your pfp is goinf to haunt my dreams. help
just found the creator first game is like hylics, but you... destroy the world lol
I love that this song is named An Endless Cycle. It's pretty well known by now that the game, or at least the dynamic between Wayne and Gibby, is a metaphor for the cycles of the moon. Wayne representing a waning crescent, and Gibby representing a waning gibbous. It's made clear in both their head shapes and their names. Judging by the sort of colony of Wayne "clones" in the beginning of Hylics 2, the idea of multiple Gibbys being out there as well isn't too farfetched.
Maybe the pattern of a Gibby taking the throne and a Wayne overthrowing him really is An Endless Cycle.
This is a solid interpretation. I was writing it solely about Wayne's life cycle, but I like your ideas, too!
@@chuck_salamone where do the baby waynes come from
@@Terminally_Radical "I don't know, shouldn't they be teaching you this stuff in school?"
- Generic Father Figure
Yeah... Of Waynes becoming Old Waynes', maybe Decreses are involved too, of an Afterlife you can always leave (I think), of Gibbies straying away from the path of righteousness and stuff... Like, I can't help but wonder if Gibby is of the same species as Wayne and Decres. He's gotta be, right?
the game is actually about how the moon spin and spin and then the spin light sun shadow wayne
Reject humanity. Become Wayne Larvae.
I wish
dude, this is just a bonus song from the soundtrack of a niche indie rpg, y'all didn't had to make it a masterpiece
I mean, I felt like I needed to say more. Mason obliged and uhhh...here we are.
@@chuck_salamone thank you for sharing your vision
Mason Lindroth: it's just a silly trippy RPG, no need to go too over the top.
Chuck Salamone about to drop the hottest, most crispy and ear orgasmic soundtrack for no fucking reason:
LITERALLY. There are some parts of this song that made me STOP BREATHING because of how good they are. I almost wish the music was WORSE for this game bc it's quite literally TOO GOOD.
@@kaknorii9213 Hahaha, damn right.
Such a strange feeling this song gives me. It gives me the image of Wayne just wanting to relax at home watching TV or jamming on a guitar, but has to go and save the world as a chore. Least the journey is with friends.
Saving the world is just Wayne's 9 to 5
This sounds hella accurate, it's really good
with the release of absent moon, this seems like an extremely prescient interpretation
wayne's life is the definition of "ah shit here we go again"
this song characterizes wayne as what we deep down knew he was all along. A sexy biker
cant say i expected this but its not wrong either
I always thought he was an everyman, who sublimates his problems through military training.
he do be lookin kinda fine tho
i.... can't say i wouldn't.
Well, he is a pilot at least. We can assume Wayne flies the ship since you have to stop the ship to wander around and interact with the party as Wayne.
Gibby must have been terrified hearing Wayne's boss theme.
He'd be pissing orange juice for sure.
@@chuck_salamone That is the worst thing I've read from you.
@@bronze1557 Lol.
The names for the other characters themes are more blatant but this one Is in reference to how the Wayne’s seem to be infinitely propagating themselves into a species at the Wayne house
Probably also ties into the underlying theme of the games being about the lunar cycle.
The antagonist is representative of a gibbous moon and Wayne is the embodiment of a waning moon both in design and name
@@casanovafunkenstein5090 that it also is that’s probably the main reason
There's also this concept of Wayne's as protectors living in a violent world where they kinda gotta go out and fight and die and be reborn in the afterlife day after day. This interpretation was put forwards quite heavily in the discussion
Certified Wayne moment
Got this song on recommendations, and I just discovered the world behind it.
lucky day
Have you been enjoying yourself?
@@chuck_salamone indeed I am
@@namuhton3071 That's great, I'm so glad these compositions still have the reach that they do. More hylics music is on the way!
Dies and gets reborn to fight Gibby all over again, grows old and births copies of himself that end up fighting Gibby again. A true Endless Cycle
Makes me wonder if Gibby is part of Wayne's species. He went out and won it all but lost who he was after winning it.
There is just no way to know...
To die and reincarnate for all of eternity, constantly waning but never new.
This is a goddamn excellent theme for Wayne! I'm so happy to finally hear the wild jammage that you and Chuck crafted together! Love how confident the music starts out, what with that wailing guitar, only for it to be overtaken by distortion over and over again yet still retain that steady initial beat throughout. Also I can hear a call back to "Fancy Meat Computer" and "Look Ma, I Fly Now!" at about 1:46 in. It could be merely a reference to the persistent rivalry between Wayne and Gibby, or maybe, just maybe, the two do have some things in common with one another after all...
“To die and reincarnate for all of eternity, constantly waning but never new.”
i don’t know if you came up with that yourself or got it from somewhere else, but either way it’s a sentence i’ve been thinking about for the last 12 hours. incredibly powerful.
@@everythingincorporated4597 I came up with that myself, actually. Glad to hear how much you liked it!
"constantly Wayning"
A prog rock fan channel in Comments
This is so nice
I fully agree with this
damn wayne, you know how to save the world AND hit pretty sick ass licks. shine on you crazy diamond! fuckin love this game
Heh, he certainly is a cool dude, huh?
man you guys are some insanely talented dudes. Recently got gifted hylics by a friend and its one of the best recent gaming experiences I have. need to play the 2nd and im hype for the 3rd
We appreciate you so much! It took us a long time to get to where we both are (independently, as well as together). We have the fans to thank, truly!
the song of someone who just can't stay down.
03:59 god that drop is so fucking good. comparable to pink floyd, even
THATS IT ive been trying to think of what this reminds me of and that is dead on, PINK FLOYDIAN
To be compared to Pink Floyd is a dream come true. Thank you!
The whole song reminds me of led zeppelin no quarter
@@softkonig25 no, u.
@@chuck_salamone you my man are one of the most goated composers
Oh my lord, my ears are crying of happines
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Woah, character themes! This rules.
Oh sweet lord. Chills right down the spine from the second the guitar kicked in. Chuck nailed the tone and dialing on the guitars. There’s a marvelous, dissonant, chaotic, alien tone to this track that really shines among even the more dynamic tracks these two have constructed. I think these theme tracks convey the flavor and character of their tracks marvelously well. They sound like the character personalized through song and it’s such a charming realization of these delightfully mysterious and lovable characters through one of Hylics’ strongest points; immaculate vibes.
🙏🏻 Thank you so much for this. I’m glad you are enjoying these tunes!
@@chuck_salamone You're literally one of the best artists I've ever heard man. I cant even describe how much i love your work lol
@@muze2379 I appreciate that more than you know. Stay tuned. More music for more games…
WE MAKIN IT OFF THE MOON WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼‼‼‼⁉⁉
so gibby gets two themes, and now after both games, the squad finally each have a theme.
As someone trapped in an endless cycle I love this song very much. Thanks Mason.
I remember first hearing a sample of this on Instagram and being absolutely entranced. When I realized this is what it was, I was blown away. This is absolutely the vibe I adore.
Thank you for that.
You know, I was wondering a few days ago if Mason had any other projects for after Hylics 2. Even though this is just an expansion on the great soundtrack it had, it's still fresh and new. Can't wait to see what he makes next.
We do.
I can't put into words how happy that makes me. Assuming that Mason would carry on with these alone was sort of just me being realistic, but knowing you'll be working together in the future makes me giddy.
A silly hope, but I would love to have both Hylics games on the Switch. Nintendo loves their indie games, and Hylics is just the perfect series to show off to confused people on the street (in an hypothetical world without the plague, of course)
@@chuck_salamone Grinned ear to ear reading this. Best of luck to the both of you.
I listen this song over and over in my most atmospheric moment of my life. When I was in depression all I can lean on was my emotions and thoughts and this masterpiece conveys perfectly how it feels to be in endless cycle of grief and joy.
I’m so glad this song was there for you when you needed it. That means the world. Hope you are well.
@@chuck_salamone Thanks for great words. now I'm in better situation and health state. I'm happy and have hope.
Babe wake up new hylics music dropped
This fits Wayne perfectly sheesh
This song loops so good
It’s an endless cycle
I discovered this game when spotify recommended me this at the start of the year, and honestly i've been OBSSESED with it since then. I want to kiss Wayne
Kiss the homie.
"I want to kiss Wayne."
Not if I do it first.
@@Zeppelee We can take turns. I'm sure Wayne wouldn't mind getting a little more love. But i wanna smooch the rest of the gang as well. They all deserve a kiss
Very real I also want to kiss wayne
I'm absolutely living for these leitmotifs
I once half-jokingly told someone, that Hylics 2 ost came with great trippy game for free.
Thank you guys for great music!
this game should get way more attention :(
Jerma is gonna play it really soon!
@@chuck_salamone HECK YES
Leitmotifs are all over these tracks and I love it!
One that I've noticed that hasn't been mentioned to my knowledge is "That's a Big Stick..." at 4:40
Goddamn i love you chuck salamone
Much love to you!
3:25 gives crazy chills
WE GETTIN OUTTA JUICE GALAXY WITH THIS ONE
oh no, wrong obscure surreal computer game with colorful graphics and rpg elements
A strange song with a tasty 70´s guitar, I love it!! 10/10 y GOD
Cheers, thanks for listening!
@@chuck_salamoneWE LOVE YOU CHUCK SALAMONE
The part at 5:06 is so beautiful I wish it went on a bit longer
I like when the best parts of a song are near the end : )
Wayne is a busy moon
Driven, but calm. Has its sinister moments, but overall, the tone is hopeful and victorious. The phrase "an inevitability you have to work for" came to mind listening to this, and I think it's pretty descriptive of what this song is evoking.
Living in an eternal state is terrifying. No rest.
I love the parts were it sounds like gibbys battle theme.
The best surprise drop of the year
I just picked Hylics 2 this week. Haven’t completed it yet, but I’m in love with the soundtrack. This was a pleasant surprise and I’m grinning ear to ear listening it.
i love Wayne so much and this song perfectly encapsulates exactly what makes me love him 10/10
Amazing how, if you showed me all the characters respective themes and asked me to guess who's is whos theme... I would get them all right because the characterization is so fuckin good.
This song screams sexy '90s biker that wears leather and has an atitude, aka, Wayne
im lucky to have lived in a time with hylics
It’s Wayne, the main mang!
Hylics 3 in 4D, travel through the fourth dimension and across time and space
It would be absolutely hilarous to play this live for 24-7, forever. An actual Endless Cycle 😂
This rocks! Tell Chuck he's doing amazing.
I see all, I hear all. Thank you for the kind words!!!
this is absolutely incredible. what a pleasant thing to wake up to
I agree, Judgement Boy
i dont know who you are
@@geencream i assume you don’t know what they call me either
Came back after almost a year, I love how Chuck always replies, he feels so human unlike many other artists!
I see you! You have my thanks for coming back!
babe wake up new hylics tracks dropped
The world you guys created is something truly special. One of my favorite things to exist in all areas! Music, Style, and Flair of it all are so awesome! It really inspires me to try to test what art can be. Love ya guys :]
😭🙏🏻
no wonder it's called an endless cycle bc I've been listening to it on loop. It's That Good
hahaha, cheers!
@@chuck_salamone I always forget that you can see these and I about jumped out of my skin when I got this notification- not mad of course, just startling. Keep up the good work in your upcoming projects! :-]
Hylics 2 is by far one of my most favorite games in the visuals department, and in the sound department too! Great work Mason and Chuck.
this game aesthetics is turning into its own sub genre
Cycle is endless. He is waning moon now, once he will become a gibbous moon, and next Wayne will come to restart the cycle.
Wayne for Smash
I get to pick the tunes for the car ride cause it’s my birftay!
We need a DLC where you have to fight Wayne and the gang as a cultist, and the fight songs are the different themes.
Chuck is always there to impress me with the guitar skills!
what a great thing to wake up to, an ost extension. awesome
This and the Hylics 2 ost has been the one thing motivating me to start my mornings and better my routine, so happy to have found this game
SO happy to read that it is helping you substantially!
Just imagine how legendary these songs could be with lyrics
Man, I’m glad I finally found Hylics again. I’m gonna try to get back into it soon.
You guys never cease to amaze me. This is so damn good!
The start of this song gives me chills. I really love this whole song but the intro is just...yum.
I'm so happy Hylics is still getting love! This was one of my favorite games released in the past couple years.
Simply amazing, from the music to the album art (and not to mention, the series itself).
Oh I get it! An endless cycle, like the moon!
i love every single thing about hylics! from th emusic to the art all of it is so unique and fresh feeling
WHY IS THIS SO FUCKING GOOD AAAAAAAAA
I put a lot of time, love, and care into these tracks. Thank you for enjoying them so much!
My Wayne, this is so fucking good
Not sure if anyone has said this but Hylics 2’s soundtrack sounds like a list Pink Floyd album. It’s that good!
fucking superb you funky lil moon man
I have never played Hylics 1 or 2 (though I have considered giving 2 a whirl) but this and Bolt Thrower give very good first impressions
Play them! They are really unique games. I’m biased because I do music for the series, but the games are so super cool!
Chuck and mason are absolute gods
i'm not too big on games these days, but chuck's input coupled with the hylics style on these few tracks and on the games tracks took me by shock. so glad you two got along so well, the results blew me away. from one musician to another, this stuff really inspires me to make something as confusingly provocative
If you were raised on games like Marathon and Myth, it's no wonder you find the current crop so disheartening.
Noita is a great modern game. This one is great too.
I appreciate that. Get hyped! MUCH more coming...
This is so hot
I will always be dumbfounded with how great these soundtracks are! The Hylics 2 OST is already amazing for what it is, but Moonage Lobotomy is in a league of its own.
Most videogame music isn't stuff you'd listen to outside of the game itself. Mostly because all the "best" OSTs are compositions tailormade for whatever cutscene or setpiece or level they happen to be part of. People have an uncanny ability to pick out "movie/game music", and there are very few games that manage to transcend this barrier. The only ones I can think of that do this are Jet Set Radio, Pathologic 1/2, ULTRAKILL and Hylics 2. It's an incredible feat.
Thank you so much I for your kind words! Mason was cool enough to let me explore here! He’s a great dude. He let me really go far out there with Absent Moon, too. This world of his is so incredibly dense with unknown shit, so I feel like having a ton of music to express that makes it that much more rich!
10/10 good song, would melt my brain again
I'm getting "post-rock" vibes from this and that's a good thing.
This song has been stuck in my head for god knows how long, I listen to this every day. (No joke, my friends have pointed out that I've been listening to this on Spotify for quite a bit ..)
The vibes are just immaculate, and it captures Wayne's whole thing perfectly. I'm so glad I found out about Hylics, man.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I have Fancy Meat Computer in a loop (is just my favorite) and hearing it here is so good
The guitar solo that kicks in at about 1:06 is truly glorious.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
@@chuck_salamone You're very much welcome!
Never played Hylics in my life, but I love the music. I listen to it sometimes while doing my boring work and projects.
良すぎる〜
Thanks for the good new tunes
1:06 this part never gets old for me
You know your song is good when even a character from your game says it
I've heard this style of music here and there, and was always hungry for more. I'm so glad to now know it is "Hylics OST"
I am in love with this song. Chuck you are truly amazing!
Finally, the pinkest Floyd.
