I started the game for the game AND the music 😃😁😉
Hey, as they say: "better late than never".
Are these available for download anywhere? This is amazing work!
Wasn't there a voice in the Intro that said "do not copy this game"?
@@Rapscallion2009 Lotus 2 main theme had it. "You will not copy this game".
This was the time when you started games just to listen to the music :)
I still do. Well, they're all older games...but still....
As a kid I did that with a lot of titles on the SNES. Especially with "Axelay".
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 Axelay was ahead of it's time in terms of music!!
We sit in the same "boat"!
Nyha! Now we turn it around! 🤪
1992, recorded into a cassette tape using my Amiga monitor speakers. 2002 made into a CD and always keep in my car. Childhood dream came true !
Did exactly the same thing!
Love that!!!
Thats a freaking great idea!
I found a very long highway tunnel under Paris that has a very low ceiling (you feel like you're gonna scrape it), has all the repetitive lighting and dull concrete decor, and no traffic at all, like a tunnel in the night city race that lasts for 20 minutes, but thankfully has cellphone signal so I could blast this all the way through. I made it !
I never realised until now how much Patrick Phelan's work shaped what my childhood sounded like.
He started when He was like 12 and did music like this. I had a couple of friend who did similar music like Eurotechno and they where ages 12-16 they are Swedish but Patric is much much much better. Enjoy this old soundtrack!
Bez kitu, każdy ten utwór bije na głowę wszystkie dzisiejsze "hity".
when a floppy disc could destroy the world and every soundtrack was epic...
Warning: Do not play Main Theme or Miami Ice in your car's CD player if the speed limit is less than 100 kph/60 mph.
Derpy-Merc-Bus that runs max 80kph and is loud as hell: This thing on max: Goosebumps, feels like flying a Bomber, makes you miss speed-zones...
Lotus theme playing and speed limit...? Please... There would be only the limit of your car
Is this for the same reasons why you shouldn't listen to Eurobeat on a winding road?
"Warning: Do not play Main Theme or Miami Ice in your car's CD player if the speed limit is less than 100 kph/60 mph."
It's okay mate, they couldn't catch up with me.
It's ok, there's a special exemption if you get pulled over, and this is playing on your sound system : "Ah, I do beg your pardon Sir, please carry on....."
Still listening to this in 2020.
Literally brings tears to my Frickin eyes listening to this ❤️
The Amiga had such epic music. Nostalgia atack! Lotus was one of the games where I used to load it to the title screen just to listen to the music :D Gods and Turrican II and Turrican III, Agony and some other games had the same special place in my heart.
NES - WorldCup
BattleToads
Sonic 2 (both MegaDrive and MasterSystem)
MegaMan
etc.
so so many game xD
same with last samuri, full contact, and pinball fantasies intros, the best, definitely turrican 2 and shadow of the beast 3 aswell
Same here :-D, Lotus 1 especially. So energizing!
No joke. I had a 386 with just a PC speaker and my friend had a Amiga 500 with all this crazy awesome music. So I bought a soundblaster card. PC + soundblaster + VGA still sucked. It took PC's 10 years to catch up to what the Amiga 500 could do at launch.
@@castirondude Agreed, Amiga was way ahead of its time.
I was listening to this on the way home in my car last night.
Now I have a blown engine, several pending driving offences and severe whiplash.
Seriously. That first track.
That gave me a good laugh! Did you play it on Amiga as well?
@@jfloop77 is there any other way?
Lol
6:16 You're going to have a *bad drive*
undertale?
@@lourencinho1228 yes, what i made was an undertale reference. congrats
@@MisterSkullium what is undertale
@@SlavenMansGym a dark racing game for snes
Very good, I'd never have noticed
Thank you for pre-anticipating on Aug 1, 2012 that I would need this banging soundtrack to boost my energy at work today, 10 years later. ;-)
Słuchałem tego godzinami.
This soundtrack is simply georgeous. Time goes by, but this music is still outstanding
I miss this game and its epic music. I used this music while studying it made me turbo learner xD
Why not get yourself an Amiga or set up an emulator then? :)
@@ijontichy6247 i had this game on DOS emulator on ex comp. Now i don't have it on my new one. I might do this again though. I listen to the music over youtube and i'm satisfied.
That intro + the first track playing... pure awesomeness
At 16:23 that damn tune is always in my head especially the percussion. Amazing music amazing Barry Leitch!
So funny, sometimes this tune also just pop up in my mind and I start whistling it semi-dancing to it while I'm doing kitchen stuff like chopping onions, peeling potatoes and whatnot
6:11 if you listen carefully, you can hear Sans: Megalovania.
wait, so does that mean that Megalovania melody is a plagiarism?
@@angelfragrance1 I don't think taking a bit of beat and melody, stretching it and building an entire new song around it constitutes plagiarism. It's 'inspiration' at best.
But it's still fun recognizing pieces of songs elsewhere.
@@FroggyMosh yeah i know it now, i got worried because i was just starting making music and that was the main thing that came up my mind when i noticed the similarity. thanks for the attention though ;-)
@@angelfragrance1 Oh, yeah. Recognizable. It's easy to judge it mildly when it's not my own work. Not so easy when it *is.* Plagiarism, Copyrights, Trademarks... they still get me overly worried (and outright scared) too.
Take care, and have fun! :)
Sounds like plajarism to me..
Man! Mad soundtrack, I just went back down memory lane 20 years... thank you!
13:22 CD 'Miami Ice' always pumped me up!
I really think these wonderful sounds should be updated and added to every current and future racing game. Perfection.
Stephen H I think that every game should support Dolby Headphone.
Stephen H I agree with you on 100%!!!!
Look up Horizon Chase.
Man, I love this "Night loading" theme
I remember spending hours and hours playing Amiga games with my friend and particularly this one too. That was the golden era of games or maybe I just became adult. But but music is still fantastic!
The days when developers really put effort in the music itself in games. Miss those times.
Yeah, what happened to it?!
There are a handful that still do... but yeah, the big developers don't give a shit.
Nintendo musics
zBLACK0Rz The big shift happened in 1996 with Diablo and Quake music. which was more of an ambient soundtrack than proper music. Then Thief and Half-Life hit the shelves with basically silent theme and the rest of the industry followed. I think one of the last games with really great mod soundtrack was Deus Ex in 2000.
The one reason I can think of was that we no longer have hardware constraints.
Its 2016 and im still feeling my childhood backing like 90's... thanks for posting ;)
Same
Still in 2020
Same here :)
2022 this song is inmortal
Henlo from 2023
I miss great old game soundtracks like this one. The music is by far one of the greatest things of gaming past.
Still listening to that in 2023. I miss my childhood so bad!
no song is wasted
excellent
great work of patrick phelan
During the intro, the three loud sounds at 0:44-0:46 are synched up with one more roman numeral added after "Lotus" until the title says "Lotus III". For some reason I found that to be very cool back in the day!
*roar of engine*
me: wait for it...
*three ‘I’s pop in*
Me: wait for it
*marching drum*
Me: give it to me
*bass note concludes epicness*
Me: G O O S E B U M P S
...every single time
I would bet that OrchHit actually is taken from "Girl you know it's true from Milli Vanilli" :D
ua-cam.com/video/2ee75o-x2_w/v-deo.html
Never noticed that, but I did hear the little message left for crackers on LTC 2. "Don't copy this shit" can just be heard a few seconds into the main theme.
jedna z pierwszych gier, w które grało się nie tylko dla samej gry, ale też i dla muzyki :)
ps: Pamiętam, że do wyboru była muzyka LUB odgłosy silnika... a mimo to i tak zawsze każdy wybierał muzyke :D
Mialem tak samo, zawsze wybieram odgłosy silnika, w lotusie nigdy, muzyka jest tam epicka :)
Siemka bracie
Dobra
Grało się na amidze 500+
Team Space Ninja (track 04)
Listening to the intro back then was epic and still holds up.
Who else is thinking about OctaMED , protracker and all the notes flying by.
Yes especially at the bit 2:57
I haven't played this game... but I always go fucking gaga for Amiga music. Mod music is just transcendent, my favourite type of video game music - old or new school, that's also why I adore the soundtracks to the original "Unreal" games and the first "Deus Ex." I know some people bitched about them bringing back an outdated format, but the mod music still rocked. It's so atmospheric and unique.
I agree games mod music was most creative
Yeahhh the mod format resembles the early techno or electronic music, low quality samples but too much creative and inspired than actual electronic
doomknight87 Yes, it sometimes resembles the Fairlight (first highend synth-sampler) music, anyway there are many timeless gems in Amiga game music, but not many people from post Amiga period seem to know it/appreciate it.
what does mod music mean?
palexpereira It's a pretty generic term for music created using some sort of tracker software like Soundtracker, Protracker, OctaMED on the Amiga, Fast Tracker 2, Scream Tracker 3, Impulse Tracker on PC etc etc etc. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_tracker
Way back in the day. Every kid used to have a shoebox full of Amiga games on tape cassette.
Only thing was that only two or three of the cassettes actually worked. The rest just always used to crash in the last two minutes of loading.
This was one of the games that didn't and we used to play it until after bedtime.
Oh how I miss those days 😿
I saw a Lotus driving past in my hometown yesterday. :)

16.22 i rememeber anytime this song in my head the very best of song of amiga forever
Metal Machine (6:55) was my usual choice of music for racing, Miami Ice being next in line.
This game had a simply incredible soundtrack! and the inclusion of the Zool theme! well that was simply the icing on the cake!
Works great in my bmw e30 ! I'm blasting it very loud, especially when I ride with a passenger. They falling in love with that track.
best car, best music! +1 !
An Absolutely genius composition!
thank you so much! life can sometimes pretty rough but this music reminded me of the good times in life. Thanks!
The usage of the left or right channel only for specific sounds is unic to the Amiga era.
And that’s what made this music so special.
I like how every version has it's own sound.
How many versions exist?
@@TUHOKAPTEENI Amiga500 (original), Amiga CD, MS-DOS, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Atari
10:35 for the win absolute brilliance. Great guitars on it.
"guitars" :D
Space Ninja! oh the memories!!
BRILLIANT, I LOVE IT, great memories. Thank you for posting this.
There will never be a better game soundtrack.
Absolutely love it, thanks for uploading it. Definitely takes me back a few years :)
Never had an Amiga but played the DOS version and just finished uploading the DOS & Roland MT-32 (munt) soundtrack on my channel. The Amiga soundtrack is awesome for listening (especially on quality headphones) as well! Thanks!
I love the introduction sequence.
2020 and this is still popping up for regular play :D
2023 too
The best music in video games!
never forget!!!!
#amigaforever
+Lukas „Luis“ Sebesta never break!!!!
40yrs old, I'm still too shy to play "Breathless" over speakers
Me too. 40 years and still play this awesome music
That one must be my fav. Played many times in my good old Golf 1.9 TDI...Man I miss that car with that music.
Lembrando o quão velho eu sou, que trilha, que feeling!
Metal Machine 06:55 it's an underrated masterpiece
i agree
Best intro in driving game history.
God that brings back memories
Space ninja forever!
So many memories :)
Patrick Phelan is a music god.
Year 1996
Me : 8 years old
PC : Pentium 1 with 4MB VGA 16MB RAM MS-DOS/WIN 3.11 for Workgroups.
:( Good old days..
The very definition of brilliant
Awesome - sounds fantastic!!
I started the game for the music and the game 😃 this was the best I had seen.
2023.....yuuuuup
nice memories comming up
The thing to take away here is that even the loading screens had music that SLAPPED
this is great when listening to it with headphones awesome done i approve!
All hail to Pat Phelan. As a game, I preferred Lotus II, but I kept coming back to Lotus III for the soundtrack.
sounds great on my headphones , thankyou :)
I was looking for good music for testing my headphones, played this without reading the title and was like I've heard this before, sounds like lotus challenge looked at the title and was like YESSSS! not heard this since 1993 or something!
This is the one soundtrack I unconsciously find myself turning up the speed on my treadmill desk while playing. ;-)
My personal number 1, talking about old school racing game soundtracks, in general. The one which completely took it to another level was, nonetheless, Screamer in 1995. I´ve been listening to this soundtrack on the Autobahn in every one of my first five or six cars. The original game CD was just a traditional resident to my in-car cd wallet.
Night loading
best sound to listen in 2021 - Lotus III - The Ultimate Challenge
Great! Thank you.
Wow man....memories memories ...miss those days 🥰
night loading the best
AMIGA FOREVER IN MY HEART
Świetna giera Amiga forever
Thanks Dan
thank you, very nice! прямо детство вспомнил!
Just love it so much
oh shit, I remember Metal Machine being used for a Wii homebrew program that we (my family) used; I never knew the source for it's banger until now, and look at that, I just find it all willy-nilly while looking for this OST
nice
2020 and still listening
This ia amazing!
Metal Machines, Space Ninja and Shamrip are amazing even to this day
Amiga Music is just the best!
Awesome quality!
Whoa, you made the night tune longer! I like this. :D
Sooo... many frigging nostalgia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Evolution = C64 SID -> Amiga Paula -> PC Adlib/Creative -> PC Gravis
It's amazing what they go out of Amigas, isn't it? - especially considering the tiny RAM and disk space they had left after a game was in there!
and only 4 samples playing at any one time
@10:31
Cool! I didn't know they used a remix of the Zool theme for Lotus III?! I had never noticed this back in the day, it took me more than 20 years to find out! LoL! :D
legend
Very good effect on my headphone Fostex TH900, incredible sounds...
Patrick Phelan is a god, like Chris Huelsbeck, Allistair Brimble, Matt Gray, Richard Joseph, Rudolf Stember, George Sanger, David Govett and many, many more.
Their sounds defined the era of computer and video games.
love this one
