Favourite OW music/theme?
 
Personally, the "theme" or music loop that plays in Bonewerkz in AE, in the quiet areas, always made me shiver a little for some reason. It really gives me a feeling of emptiness and suspense.

enchilado 12-03-2009 09:05 PM

I actually can't remember Bonewerkz, even though I played it a few days ago. Um... I can't really think of any.

I do know I like them all, though.

Taco 12-03-2009 09:08 PM

Well in some parts of boneworkz it's not really music, just some knocking noise, pipes, wind, etc

Sekto Springs 12-03-2009 09:40 PM

Def Feeco Depot, The War Room, and the Boiler.

Leto 12-03-2009 09:50 PM

AO soundtrack is the best.

the menu music and scrabania i can instantly recall

enchilado 12-03-2009 10:29 PM

I remember Scrabania 'coz I was listening to it on Youtube yesterday. It's very cool. I played it over and over in the background.

Jordan 12-04-2009 03:32 AM

All this music talk makes me want to play through the games again.

I really like the song that plays just when the game is loading up, the one that was used in that fish advert or whatever it was. Bloody nostalgic every time I hear it.

Ye, Scrabania has an awesome track, dead relaxing.

Does the OWF anthom count?

If not my vote goes for slig barracks, the nests in AO and especially the opening cutscene of AO.

Good call. I've always loved the slig barracks one, always keeps me on edge

AlexFili 12-04-2009 04:07 AM

I like the Slig Barracks music. It's funny when it goes quiet halfway through, but you can still hear the gas chambers (or whatever makes that noise).

I also like the Stranger's Wrath intro music.

Feels like this topic was done not too long ago.

My favortes would have to be the stockyards, Scrabania, Necrum, and the Brewery.

MeechMunchie 12-04-2009 08:55 AM

FeeCo, Munchadee Ender.

shaman 12-04-2009 09:37 AM

Monsiac lines.

Fucking beautiful.

STM 12-04-2009 09:39 AM

easy peasy - FeeCo, Slig Barracks or Monsaic - i'd say Feeco first

Alf Shall Rise 12-04-2009 12:00 PM

My favorite themes are SoulStorm Brewery, War Room, Slig Barracks, Monsaic Lines, and Scrabania.

Crashpunk 12-04-2009 12:22 PM

Slig barracks and The War Room.

enchilado 12-04-2009 04:29 PM

Okay. I love Scrabania and the AO intro. I've only played up to Scrabania (playing through Paramonia first) in AO though.

I like 'em all, though.

Guekko 12-04-2009 04:53 PM

The AO Scrabania tracks (normal Scrabania and Ender), AE Game Ender, AE Paramite Chase, AE Slig Barracks, SW Fight for the Native Village, SW In the Dark Sewers (Buzzarton Sewers), SW Race Against Time (Sekto Springs Dam).
I've probably missed some out, but that is most of them.

Though I don't listen to the Scrabania track a lot. I love it...but I cannot stand listening to it. Something about it

Crashpunk 12-06-2009 09:46 AM

would you count Oddworld Music as Soundtrack music. because most of the tracks are just Sound effects?

used:) 12-06-2009 11:34 AM

In the first two games, yes, I would.

slig# 5719 12-06-2009 09:17 PM

Slig Barracks in AE, the Paramite nest in AO and being chased by a Scrab.

enchilado 12-06-2009 09:21 PM

Ah! The Scrab Chase tune.

Dryadri 12-09-2009 01:23 PM

I like AO's Scrabnia theme and the chase theme, I think they use the same-ish tune in both games.

Leto 12-09-2009 03:18 PM

I always remember the Scrabania theme because it was the first song I can remember using the very cliche III V I chord progression, and it has been forever etched in my mind ever since (hearing it in other songs, I go "o scrabania lol")

Crashpunk 12-10-2009 09:19 AM

Oh and i also love the Feeco Theme.

Sombody should remix it. it'll sound awesome.

Admiral Zaarin 12-10-2009 09:50 AM

Free-fire zone theme is the most ambient and is a favourite of mine. The second would be Slig Barracks music.

AlexFili 12-10-2009 09:55 AM

Leto can you explain the "III V I" thing?

Leto 12-11-2009 01:05 PM

music tuition isn't free

AlexFili 12-12-2009 01:31 AM

Fine, I'll google it. PWNED!

Crashpunk 12-12-2009 01:57 AM

Google like you've never googled before!

Taco 12-12-2009 10:08 PM

Was it the Mudomo Vault music that was pretty much some weird-sounding bells ringing?

Phylum 12-12-2009 10:45 PM

Only to the Hignorant.

The scrab chase was truly epic. I tried to transcribe it for cello and percussion, but gave up due to the odd rhythms. The free fire zone music was really creepy, and I love it!

Josh 12-13-2009 02:49 AM

The Scrabania music is some of the best game music ever. But nothing holds a candle to Forest Boss AAAA! from Super Meat Boy.

Hazz-JB 01-12-2010 01:49 AM

Escaping from the Stockyards into No Man's Land and hearing the opening theme is epic.

Also the Scrabania music really makes you feel like you're on a long desert pilgrimage.

marlz 01-12-2010 01:48 PM

Scrabanian Nests for sure. The chase music there is just epicly FTW!

brechtos 01-13-2010 04:29 AM

I just bought the strangers wrath soundtrack a few weeks ago and I must say it's really nice.

Rayrockslots 01-23-2010 01:10 PM

I know it's not very long but I always liked Munch Chair Groove, that's when he's being taken the operation room. If you listen to the voice about 10 seconds in, I THINK it says "If you can see bright light..." implying your *Under the knife* Which is what the cut scene is called. That's what I think, maybe it's just me, using my imagination...

If your looking for more ways to enjoy Oddworld AND music, check out the links in my signature, I think you'll like them but as no one ever watches them I can't say for sure

Huzzah for me remembering that I'd actually asked this of Alf, back in the day:

:

Q: In the intern's groove music, what are the lyrics being sung/chanted? - Nathan Alf Rocks!

Alf: He rocks! He drinks tea, he answers silly questions, and...
He rocks!
Chorus
He Rocks!
Oh yeah, he rocks!
Alf Rocks!
Well, that's what I hear, anyway. You probably heard: "If you could save my life I'd meet you at the lightpole, baby."
That, of course, was before I'd legally changed my surname from 'Alf-Rocks' to what it is now.

skillya_glowi 01-23-2010 06:41 PM

Everything in AO, really, especially the Free-Fire Zone, Monsaic Lines, Scrabania and the temple thereof. The score to the FMVs is also brilliant, so uniquely Oddworld. I loved the AE music as well, except maybe the Brewery theme --- I didn't find it as atmospheric as the rest. But maybe that's just me.

Naulahauta 01-24-2010 03:19 AM

FeeCo Depot and definitely the Slig theme. Can't remember if they're all that same, but all in all it's just a simple beat of drums with a creaky 'aaaarg' here and there. It starts playing once you possess a slig.
