@ZeOverman Thanks for the link. I like that one, too - it's good, real good, but this one... THIS one... it *rocks.* It needs to be in the actual game.
Been coming back to this on and off for years, finally leaving a comment. Incredible work! One of the best video game music covers I've ever heard, and a total banger to boot.
This would work perfectly in the new remake of ss1. It's slower and more creepy feeling which suits the remake while still keeping the rhythm of the original
Mate, what's going on? Why are you such an obscure presence on the internet with only 345 subscribers when you're responsible for four of the most absolutely incredible video game covers of all time? I've heard so many covers and remakes that either miss the essence of the original or don't hit hard enough. Yours are perfection on every level and I want to hear more. Get a patreon going dude, I'd pay good money.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I do have some older a little less refined remixes on remix64 under my handle TmX. Old mod and xm files also float around the net under that handle. Unfortunately I don't have too much spare time these days and i work full time as plumber too 😅
2:31 This part of the track lives rent free in my mind. My ADHD brains loves it and two years after discovering it I still can play it in my head 🎉 It’s like pure energetic positive ecstasy!
This is fantastic work, thank you! I usually chafe at ‘higher resolution’ covers, but everything about this is so beautifully judged. It chimes with the soul of the original; the Numam-ish pop synth inflections after the break are surprisingly delightful, I love that consummate lift and the way the NIN-style industrial funk crunches back in. Masterful! 👏
@@amansizedduck This guy should've scored the entire soundtrack in this style. I mean, there's nothing wrong with low-key music for exploration, but this would have been awesome kicking up in combat.
IMO, the Executive and Security tracks are the best from the _remake_ soundtrack specifically, but I believe this is the best from the original game's soundtrack
I miss that punch in the guts original SS1 music always give me, in the new SS1 remake. In the remake, up to now, music sound more like background music, no punch at all. Great job!
Have you sent this to the developers of the system shock remake and the developers of System Shock 3 ? It is so awesome! Should be included at least in the System Shock remake!
I'm actually more interested in this anything else. How come tje sound composition and style fits so well? It is like hearing the original artist behind the old version what would happen if the had access to modern technology. This one of best remixes composed. You invoke totally.
main ost will be more like other games with the orcastral music, but a remix of the original os is supposed to be added as an unlockable/changeable setting. (done by celldweller, a god of music)
I feel like this this remix could remove any amount of radiation from my body. Even if i were making selfie with "elephant foot" in Chernobyl. Just perfect. If i only could put this in original System shock game instead of original reactor version.
The developer of the remake played this song during one of their recent livestreams. ua-cam.com/video/Gp2gcBjpMjE/v-deo.html if you wanna check it out, near the beginning before video starts.

I sure wish more people made covers of System Shock songs, but hey, at least we have this absolutely stellar one! SO GOOD!
Energy Systems/Reactor goes way harder than it has any right to, and you pushed it even further beyond.
It's beautiful.
This is the best remix I've ever heard. It's like the ideal remix. I wish the reboot has music like this
Wouldn't say that one is more faithful. This one sounds more like what I would imagine it would be in HQ; this one is much better.
@ZeOverman Thanks for the link. I like that one, too - it's good, real good, but this one... THIS one... it *rocks.*
It needs to be in the actual game.
I agree that this should definitely be included in the remake. Somebody should refer the artist to Night Dive.
@4 The Moment Studios Id also like to know. SS2 is one of my all-time-favs but the first game is just too dated. Or is it?
@Steven Hunt the music theyre using as of rn seriously takes a large chunk of charm out of the game 😢
Man I wish I could hear your music in the new remake😢

This is rad.
It's so rad I have the rad sickness,
This...is actually the best remix of Reactor that I've heard, won't lie.
This would work perfectly in the new remake of ss1. It's slower and more creepy feeling which suits the remake while still keeping the rhythm of the original
Words cannot express how much I love this.
The 2023's remake's version of this was good, but a bit less pronounced. I would have liked to hear this beast in the game. Amazing job with this!
Got sent here by a review of the System Shock remake. Boulder Punch, I believe. Definitely a new favorite! Fantastic job!
Thanks! I'll have to check out his review!
Awesome work ! Keep it up, insect !
SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED.
Had to keep my stank face on for 5 minutes straight. Congratulations OP, this is the best System Shock remix on YT.
Thank you :)

Not much to say besides I keep coming back to this, it's extremely good and thank you again for making it!
THE BORG COLLECTIVE HAS DEEMED THIS THE PERFECT AUDIO MODULATION. RECONFIGURATION OF AUDIO MATRIX INITIALIZED.
Just letting you know that I still think you did a mindblowingly good remix and I still listen to it regularly
Thank you so much 😊
@@Ecidemon I come back to this at least once every two months. It's so goddamn good - thank you for keeping SS1's majestic Level R music alive.
@@Skeletonizer1200 Thank you so much :)
same
A remix of system shock that actually captures the games spirit! Love it.
Oh man, this remix kicks all kinds of ass, I LOVE those drums! Great job man!
Thanks so much! :)
Jaw-droppingly good. Right up my alley, sound-wise. Bravo!
One of my all time favorite remix of a gaming song. It fits so well
been waiting years for someone to step-up with new remix of this born-a-classic song, great job
Matti Särkimäki thanks! 😊
is it okay for you if i do some finnish rap on this remix?
Matti Särkimäki Sure go ahead, if you wouldn't mind sending me a link of your finished work when it's done😊
This is one of the best remixes I've ever heard. It belongs in a museum.
Maybe...a museum like OverClocked Remix, for example?
shoulda been in the remake
@@amansizedduck This guy should've scored the entire soundtrack in this style. I mean, there's nothing wrong with low-key music for exploration, but this would have been awesome kicking up in combat.
Holy shit, this is so great, absolutely LOVED it!
This track is a timeless banger. Even in the remake, it is the best and aside from the intro OST is the one I associate the most with System Shock
IMO, the Executive and Security tracks are the best from the _remake_ soundtrack specifically, but I believe this is the best from the original game's soundtrack
The best remix among a sea of excellent work, from about the finest soundscape of any game
Listening to this daily, what a banger!
Thank you! :D
By far the best SS1 remix! Thanks & Congrats!
holy shit how have I never heard this before?! Definitely the best remix
Thanks :)
Man, this is some good electro groove right here. Awesome remix dude!
3 Tri-Optimum employees disliked this.
lol
But seriously man, absolutely tight cover!
8 prefer the call of the Many. The Many sings to us.
I come here daily now for my dose! This is the best videogame cover I ever heard.
This cover slaps big time, you've got this metal head - headbanging over here to this! Very well done 🤘
The soundtrack of my youth. Great listening while waiting for the Nightdive remake!
perfect ... thank you
I miss that punch in the guts original SS1 music always give me, in the new SS1 remake. In the remake, up to now, music sound more like background music, no punch at all. Great job!
Oh my god, this is incredible!! Briliantly remixed yet so authentic! Best SShock remix I have heard in looong looooong time.
Thank you so much! 😊
The best music in the game has given the best remix i've heard for the System Shock soundtrack !
Thank you so much! ☺️
To imagine SHODAN is jamming to this brings happiness
In loop while i work, thanks
This is absolute fire.
I just played System Shock: Enhanced Edition and this is easily the best remix I’ve found of any track
This one sounds so good! I wish they had this instead of what they had in remake.
epic!
and finally the Scorpion :D
where i can buy your track $$$ ?
Woah, this is really good. Love that oomphy bassline :D
Always play this when i'm in the remake version of reactor :)
This beat hypes me up like injecting caffeine directly into my veins.
A great reimagining of it
Thanks! :)
amazing
man this is f****** awesome
Fantastic remix bro one of the best I have heard.
Come on man we need more!
This is fucxkin sick
this is amazing
F****** awesome!! My respects, sir.
@mindwalker-es thanks ☺️
The guitar u can interact with in the Remake apartment plays the motif of this song, which led me on a search to here. What a jammer
Awesome! :)
Realllly good
Thank you!
this is dope! ^^
Thanks! ☺️
I don't even like the original but this fking rocks! Great work!
Holy fuck this rules. Best track from the OST and you just put it on methamphetamines. Love it.
Going back to this after the SS1 remake released 👍
music to rearrange someone's anatomy to, using a composite steel alloy pipe and nanoaugmentation.
MUSIC TO DESTROY COLLARBONES TO.
Have you sent this to the developers of the system shock remake and the developers of System Shock 3 ? It is so awesome! Should be included at least in the System Shock remake!
It was featured in a dev stream of the remake once with a link back to here that gave me some good trafic :)
Thanks for the kind comments!
I from GothenX channel, nice job!
Lovely stuff. More SS1 if you please sir! Great edge
This song reminds me of the motorcycle chase scene in The Matrix. Pretty awesome to drive fast to!
sounds like the entrance music of a system shock themed wrestler.

Imagine you pull up to the rave and this is playing
This is one of the best system shock remixes, can you make some more?
SS1 or SS2, both are welcome 👍
I like this.
This remix is amazing... but if you speed it up to 1.5, it is on a whole new level!
1.25 is better. Almost KMFDM pace, or perhaps Deus Ex pursuit/combat music.
I shouldn't even be listening to this before the game comes out....
wait, is this fan made?
Yes, this is made by me. I don't know what the music will be like in the new remake of the game but I am looking forward to it a lot! :D
main ost will be more like other games with the orcastral music, but a remix of the original os is supposed to be added as an unlockable/changeable setting. (done by celldweller, a god of music)
HW 720 I wish this is from the new game have you heard the new soundtrack it's fucking garbage.
Best Game Ever
I feel like this this remix could remove any amount of radiation from my body. Even if i were making selfie with "elephant foot" in Chernobyl.
Just perfect. If i only could put this in original System shock game instead of original reactor version.
would love to hear your take on the Soundblaster 2 version of the Intro Theme, as your take on reactor has to be the best
awesome!!!
Did you make this? If so. I want more. And I'll pay for it too.
That's fuckin amazing dude!
this sounds like system shock meeting doom
Fuck yes.
Put this in the remake for the love of god

Is this system shock?
Or quake?
Cause hot fuck this goes nin hard.
No ghost squeaking sound 👻 haha
Sick remix man. would fit right into remake.

It's like System Shock meets Phantasy Star 2 - then takes steroids.
this shit bops, why does everyone complain about SS1's ost?
Shodan is scarier then the Gravemind is.
Meh I wouldn't go that far
Please be in the remake
Fantastic mix 👌, will you make one to celebrate SS remake ?
Could you export me a midi of the part at 1:52 or something like that? I would really really appreciate it very much.
Amazing cover by the way
