Strange shit dude... but i was about to write the same comment like you here ...then i scroll down and read what i wanted to write down.. i'm i glad to see people that think exactly like my self did.
I'm 57. My brothers, 61 and 63, and I all played this when it came out. To this very day, one of us will pop this soundtrack and we'll all die of laughter dancing around and Jammin'! I STILL HAVE THE GAME!
Lindo! Eu tenho 28 e me lembro que sempre amei esse jogo desde de criança (algo tipo 8 anos de idade), mas nunca consegui finalizar sozinho. Eu sou da época de alugar jogos por um final de semana (algo comum aqui no brasil, naquela época). Tenho um irmão mais novo, de 17, que me ajudou a finalizar há alguns anos atras. A interatividade do final desse jogo é surpreendente. Greeting from Brazil to all retrogamers!
I'm a bass player and I can tell you two things: 1. This video game influenced me more than I thought. 2. Some of these lines are harder and funkier than they have any right to be fore a 16 bit video game. Thanks for posting this amazingness.
my sister and i played this together when we were kids, the music is super nostalgic. she passed away about a year ago in a car accident, but thinking about all the fun we had playing the genesis helps me smile. she always had to be player 1 so she could be toejam so i always had to be the slow earl. but you know what? he had a lil kick in his step that i liked. sometimes you just gotta be the chill bro! miss you dani..
Sorry for your loss. My brother and I would co-op this game a lot too. I can't imagine the feeling. Hope you play the new one when it comes out and she's watching! :)
I know the feeling, my friend. My mom and I would play TJ&E a lot on the ol' Genesis (as well as Zombies Ate My Neighbors) and, since she passed away in 2013, little nostalgic things like this have always brought a big smile to my face (and a tear to my eye from time to time, I'll admit). I was beyond excited when the new game was announced (though my wallet was not as pleased), and I asked Greg if he could perhaps mention her in the credits as a backer name and he had no problem agreeing to the homage. The whole crew behind these games, and at HumaNature studios, are truly a class act.
I think this soundtrack works so well is that funk guitar is already inherently trebly and scratchy a lot of the time, so the awesome Genesis bass can really shine
To get a masterpiece like this out of an old MIDI board.....somebody bled from the eyeballs making this. Somebody loved vidya games more than sanity, more than sleep, more than life itself. Wherever they are now, I hope they got everything they ever wanted.
@@kodyshatto1670 oh yeah mine is a drum machine. Not a drum kit. But I know what you’re talking about. I have one of those at my studio I teach drums with.
@MiklosKov I see. So drums you program on a DAW? I'm in the process of learning how to make them on a laptop. Mainly a guitarist/bassist, mess around on drums. Have an acoustic and electric set in my jam room.
Never underestimate video game music! This funky business right here led to Parliament Funkadelic in my later years. Thanks TJ&E; I'm up for the down stroke!
When you haven’t heard Gauntlett atomic runner master of monsters, Captain America, and The Avengers, and more. Those games don’t have any of the metallic sound that bad Mega Drive games are associated with.
Thanks for uploading a version using the original Sega soundchip. These songs don't sound right without that nasty keyboard synth, especially that first theme song.
I'll play this(and other game tunes) while I'm doing house chores. Backtrack to a month ago, I saw my one year old bouncing and humping the air in his crib when I was playing this soundtrack one day. Stopped what he was doing just to dance. Totally reminded of the boombox powerup in the game when the enemies instantly start dancing.
We need more of this around. I am glad to stumble across another person that captures from the system itself instead of relying on emulation. This particular game is one of the best games for the genesis. Well worth owning
@@KB-if8qu like emulation? There are a few quirks that are not 100% correct on particularly how fm synth drums and a few instruments are handled. At least to my ears it can sound a little different on an emulated system. There is nothing wrong with it though.
One of the only soundtracks where it's impossible to pick a favorite track. They're all so funky! The fact you can also jam out to these tracks is so cool
ToeJam Jammin' Big Earl Bump and Elevator Beats are my favorite :) the most nostalgic to me I remember playing this with my mom and I was Earl.. *good times*
Out of curiosity, I did some due diligence and measured the BPM of each track. Here are my results (depending on what you consider a beat in the respective soundtrack pieces) ToeJam Jammin' - 47/94 BPM Big Earl Bump - 49/98 BPM Rapmaster Rocket Racket - 51/102 BPM Funkotronic Beat - 55/110 BPM Alien Break Down - 51/102 BPM ToeJam Slowjam - 46/92 BPM Elevator Beats - 51/102 BPM
Good memories. #1 There's a stage where the exit is in the middle of a lake. My and my brother get the skate rockets. We go round and round at the island. Only to have the rocket end in a high five. #2 Wake up... wake up... wake up... WAKE UP!!!
So many songs over the years, both old and new, and somehow I keep being reminded of the soundtrack to this game. And I don't mean obvious 80's hip-hop (Run DMC). I mean sometimes I'll hear a disco song, or something new that has similar bass lines.
Thanks for uploading this in such pristine quality. Your video description inspired me to break out my old Genesis to see which model it is. I too own a Model 1, but unfortunately it's the one with the annoying start-up information. Either way, this encouraged a great trip down memory lane both in terms of Toejam & Earl as well as learning the differences of Genesis models.
I was playing this game with my wife. It is gem. They should make some coop game like this one. Truely underrated game. 90s SEGA was the most innovate game company, from the most state-of-art expensive arcades machines to home consumer.
Programing is something that i really don't understand. But i wish i could make a sandbox game out of this characters... with a team that knows how to program
My best game ever... so challenging and yes struglled as a kid but completed it as an adult... a game i can enjoy playing over and over again... ive it on both Sega Megadrive and Xbox One
I started playing Pizza Tower and the music in that game brought me right back to this gem. Maybe it's unintentional, but I find a lot in common with both OST at the point it made me feel quite nostalgic. Awesome games both of them
So cool to be able to listen to this year's later. Who remembers the mom with the crying kid running you over and the mad d.r with the needle. Never got past those quick sand levels before we gave up the sega.
“Fools gold” by the stone roses sounds exactly like the first music here. The main toe jam and earl song. I swear they have to have copied, plus the song came out around the same time or a bit after.😂

It's not even about videogames anymore. These funk tracks go so hard it's unbelievable.
I play guitar and I just realized that this game may have been my intro into Funk and probably while I love the genre
It's not even about videogames anymore. These funk tracks go so hard it's unbelievable. This truly is a MIDI masterpiece.
This is my favorite Genesis era soundtrack. From a musical stand point its incredibly complex for a 90s video game.

ranks high up there with Shining Force II

It's actually illegal to hate Big Earl Bump.
The punishment is pretty severe, a sand tornado over space.
That sounds so not jammin!
Bummer
That always appears in my head, I love the little breakdown, so fucking good
Capital punishment
This was one of the weirdest, and funniest, games I had ever played when it came out.
I love how earth was presented--from the aliens' perspectives.
I think this soundtrack works so well is that funk guitar is already inherently trebly and scratchy a lot of the time, so the awesome Genesis bass can really shine
If you played this game you had a jammin childhood :3

That’s what I was thinking. That slap-bass sound in Funkatronic sounds rad!
Also, the drum machine sounds exactly like my Alesis machine from 1990.
@MiklosKov I bought an Alesis in 2020 and it sounds like this. Nitro mesh kit.

This is close to the most underrated soundtrack of any game.
This is basically the soundtrack of the entire console, heavy, metallic sounds, yet a funky tune altogether

OP. Amazing idea. I would love to use this on my 3 year old when she has a tantrum. The idea of making her hula mid rage is amazing
This soundtrack has stuck with me since the day it was released in 1991. Fav game soundtrack of all time. Thanks for this. It is perfect.

if I ever cant think of something to listen to while driving I know that I can always rely on these jammin' tunes!
The best Mega Drive soundtrack.
No doubt.
Try Kid Chameleon too, it's made by the same music team!
One of the best, no doubt! Sonic, Streets of Rage and Earthworm Jim soundtracks are at same level.
WIthout a doubt one of the best, but I love weird stuff like the Chakan soundtrack too in addition to the ones mentioned too.
All I can think of when this music kicks on is the boogieman & those damn rocket shoes, makes me never look at a present the same way again.
Has to be one of the best game soundtracks of the 16bit era - a timeless classic.
This and Streets of Rage.

This game and The Fresh Prince is what got me into hip hop at a young age. Loved these funky jams back in the day.
I finally found out why I love Yamaha chip music so much.
It's this.
Nostalgic memories: unlocked.
I spent so many hours trying to beat this game in the 90's the funky tunes have been in my head ever since.
Loving this addless video, thanks.
Great memories of playing this a ton in elementary and middle school :).
90s were the best!!!
Jammin'.
just found my workout music thnx dude.
bless. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same
Lol
One of the best game soundtracks out there
ToeJam Jammin' Big Earl Bump and Elevator Beats are my favorite :) the most nostalgic to me
I remember playing this with my mom and I was Earl.. *good times*
This game would have been great as an animated series
I agree
This game has the same energy as Ren and Stimpy and Earthworm Jim, it would be perfect as a 90s saturday morning cartoon.
I wrote a fan fiction of it when I was 9. maybe I should send it to some TV people. 😄
@@Wilss Oh man, what did you deny us?!

This is literally my Thanksgiving Day (US) soundtrack because on release, we played this game entirely all Thanksgiving
I bet if you played this with someone back in the day you're still friends today.
this game has some serious funk.
I'm sorry I haven't said this by now, but - thank you for uploading this.
Funkotronic beat is awesome.
Agreed funkatronic beat is brilliant. The bridge on rap master rocket racked is some A-level funk as well

Lost one whole summer because I didn't want stop playing this game back in the days. And it was worth it.
Aron, the bass line is very similar to "Chameleon" by Herbie Hancock. In fact he was the influence for the whole soundtrack.
that album rules...."headhunters"...
To me the music sounds like “Fools gold” by the stone roses…I think they may have copied toe jam and earl😂
My grandpa bought us a genesis an this was hands down the sickest game an still is . Major funky

I love that you can tell from the timing that this was played by a human. Probably the only 16-bit soundtrack where that's an *advantage*.
Recorded straight from the Genesis. Great work! Here's the Yamaha sound chip used in the Genesis: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2612

Thank you for refraining from posting emulated music that anyone could make. Original equipment ftw.
