  • A Remix of the Geoscape view music in UFO: enemy unknown for you X-COM fans out there :)
    I've always really liked the music in the x-com games so one day I decided to modernize this atmospheric piece of music. It should have all the themes that were in the original but I've shortened it a bit by cutting out the almost silent bits where nothing was happening.
    Hope you guys like it. :)

    When I was in school, I would boot up the game, bring up the geoscape screen and just let this music play while I studied for a test or did research on a paper. I liked to think of myself as an X-Com scientist studying alien technology. Pretending my biology homework was like doing a sectoid autopsy, those were the days!
    I had a tough time explaining that this helped me study when my dad walked in and saw the game screen on my computer, though... lol!

    I still come back to this every so often, and one thing I've just realized (in 2024) that makes this remix one of the best I've heard is how it seems to emphasize the original X-Com motifs of "extraterrestrials," "mystery," and "terror" really well. The little (keyboard synthesizer key sequence?) couldn't capture a sectoid's mysteriousness and terror any better than it does. And as it moves off to the final leg of the theme, it seems to transform into "fight back," which is really cool. I don't care what anyone says, the 90s were the golden age of computer gaming: It was right when everything was still being figured out but opened up just enough to give you an idea of where things could go if done correctly.
