Absolutely love a lot of the music you made. Big fan of The Sims/Urbz especially and somehow all the songs you made for it fill me with an immense feeling of nostalgia. I was wondering if you'd be open to a small interview sometime (mostly through text) about you, your music and career?

The fact that he's still here commenting after all these years makes me very happy

Hey Ian! First of all, I love your music to bits, and this soundtrack is no exception, the remixes & re arrangement of those classic Sims tracks are phenomenal!! I recognize all of them, like that one rock song turned into that amazing create a sim theme, but one eludes me; what is the chem lab theme based on? is that one an original composition?

Left a comment three years ago, leaving another one now because this OST still lives rent free in my head 16 yea- wait, it’s been… 16 years?!?! 😭

Thanks so much for sharing your work! I love this soundtrack & come back to it frequently. Especially November 29,1984, which I dig so much that I've had it as my ringtone many years now. How did you approach composing that track? It's such a bop, and it goes well with the rest of the OST but is such a standout.

Single-handedly makes the game worth playing.

i like how in this level the bigger you are, the less music you can hear.

Why is there literally nothing about the Amber Extraction online? My ranking: 1. Soul Music 2. Bayou (Day) 3. Amber Extraction

was "gym" an original track?

Not sure how I overlooked this going through your other videos but dayyyyyyyuuum! That's good!

Oh man what a blast from the past. My late grandpa bought me this game when I was a kid. These notes at 30:25 have been in my mind for all this time. Great game and OST.

You made the Urbz soundtrack too? Man you can't imagine how strong the nostalgia is for me. Thank you for creating these masterpieces.. You're a GOD!

I heard it since 2011

holy shit talk about an unexpected amount of views for something like this

This was an awesome game, and it was such an awesome and unforgettable soundtrack. Loved the digital-like main menu theme. Loved playing this game a lot. Thanks for bringing the music back!

soundtrack of my teenager gold era

I made some rap beats sampling tracks from this ost kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpLJd5uAdpqfj5Ysi=q0IfgDYuq54q_QsP. Huge fan of your work!

WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS GO SO HARD ITS A SPORE GAME

This and hotel dusk are so underrated for DS to be honest a lot of great DS games are underrated. I remember playing this along with my older brother. I was younger so when he let me play it I was fishing in this game and getting trash for my brother’s character. 😂

LEGEND 🎉

1:11:33 makes me sad. to know that there will never be another game like this with these strange, yet amazing characters, the atmosphere and soundtrack that accompanies it. there will never be another handheld sims game that can achieve all this.

i wish epic battle was longer

oooh i remember this music its the spooky planet

love the sims urbz in the city for the GBA, i played this game ALL the time in my young teen years and even when i was a kid too, and this is the best soundtrack from a sims game to date, i absolutely love it, and every soundtrack is so varied and incredibly relaxing to listen too, i've probably heard Urbania Night & Sim Quarter ATLEAST a thousand times, but i never get sick of em lmao, running from one area to the next, using the motorcycle to traverse the city, UGHH.. it's sucha blast~ i can't thank you enough for making sucha incredible & nostalgic soundtrack to sucha masterpiece of a game ESPECIALLY MOOGOO MONKEY! that's my favorite minigame from the sims EVER!! >:D, but yeah BRAVO ian, you ROCK! ! i'd also LOVE to see a remaster / sort of a remake of this game, REALLY close too it, but just in a different engine! you never knoww! ;)

It's always cool when some shitty little licensed game that no one cares about randomly has some of the best music you've ever heard

This gave me back my fever dream emotions thank you

YOOOOOO how am I just finding this now I love this ost to bits

This soundtrack holds such a special place in my childhood. The battle themes especially have lived rent-free in my head for... Oh, nearly 20 years now! Such a crazy thing to think about, but I'm so glad this soundtrack has been preserved - by the composer no less. This and the PC version have always been some of my favourite OSTs in VGM ever, and I think it's a testament to your skills as a musician that this version in particular can stand so well on its own. Thank you for making and preserving this diamond of a soundtrack!

Beautiful ❤ I’m a huge fan of your work. I hope you know how much you inspired and changed my life as I was growing up playing these games

1:09 The closest I'll get to ascension from music

Man these sounds.

Thank you for posting this epic game soundtrack. I still have my GBA as well as both Bustin Out and the Urbz game cartridges in my collection. I'm so glad that I held on to them along with many other gems!

I loved this soundtrack and made a playlist with a few of your songs and it blew up on my small channel! Thank you for your work.

when this plays do we fight epics or is it just an epic battle

when you hack ea servers to get prototype/beta versions of spore:

The Pet Show is a funk overload

Y'all this is an absolute banger! You did an amazing job on this Ian!!!

I still come back to this one above all others for inspiration. since I saw you posted Bionicle on dropbox a few days ago I have to throw in my vote for my favorite-- I'd love to hear Eragon DS in wav or mp3 as well, if you still have the files!

The rhythm is amazing.Appreciate for your work

Could you please make an hour loop of 'Friendship'? My sister and I absolutely adore that track, it was always our favourite when we played the game! Thanks so much for the upload!

Any chance of an mp3 download? 👀

The Create-a-Sim goes so fucking hard, I love it

I'm still in love with this game and soundtrack. i revisit it all the time. ❤

I have the tracks available for download now, in WAV and MP3: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/39gjdl2rph57ns4h39oq4/ABOCk4scXlyk47XWcNEQc-M?rlkey=0rtqf5qqguueedi90babjvawz&dl=0

i want all the .mod files! if you have a download let me know please

I still have the ImpulseTracker file that I downloaded from AOL's file hosting back in the day. Still listen to it, too. This will always be a favorite.

Where can I download these .mod files?

Wtf so it was just a completely different game on gba than gamecube. So weird how that works

One of the game soundtracks that made me want to become a composer later in life. Thanks Ian!!
