A Fox in Space - Complete Soundtrack 2023

[@keithhensley6203]

I really hope you get enough funding that you can add a team to help you. It's gotta be such a long slog doing basically everything on your own, it would be amazing to see your solo project turn into an indie animation studio.

[@protocetid]

SHADDAP AND EAT YA FUCKIN' FAZOOL! goddamn, this series is legendary; from the writing, characters, art, and passion, right down to the detail of the music, it's almost a character unto itself that is always changing, always showing up in some different way. A Fox in Space is worth every second Gafford and his team can create, I only wish there was more than thanks to offer in return.

[@andrewmaxymillian-wheeler4414]

The original version has a shorter intro and plays through the drop. Having listened to that version a thousand times the edited version for Ep2 really hits hard as you expect the rest of the drop and a larger battle to break out but no, the song ends the moment Pigma head shots Eckblade and his buddy. The electronic drum hits that line up with gunshots are the beginning of the larger drop from the original version - awesome way to play with expectations and to sonically reflect the action in the scene! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaaxc6ZqZ8-Im7M

[@fchains]

[@blazingsonic]

I always rewatch A Fox in space at night because it just well it NEEDS to be watched at night to get that 10pm 80s/90s late night show, the kind of show you stay up late to sneak and watch when you think your parents are asleep.

[@LetThereBeLight-26]

Right?

[@Sykroid]

It's sad that kids are gonna grow up never knowing what that's like. It's all streaming, and it's in the palm of your hand. But there's something about sitting on the floor in the dark with a blanket wrapped around your shoulders and turning on the tv, and hearing the static and high frequency pitch as the colors fade in. You turn your tv way down so that you don't alert your parents, and you sit in complete silence, right up close so that you can hear it. When you had to try that hard to watch tv at night, it just made you respect and love it even more. This deserves that respect and love, and more

[@nairocamilo]

@@Sykroid To add some melancholy and cynicism to your observation, can't you just picture the people in the future basically just becoming... Alone? Everyone has a screen they can default to. Yeah, sorry for that, that's enough bad vibes

[@betarugula8886]

Jericho Road goes so hard. The conversation between Fara and Wolf carried somber, almost haunting undertones despite the warm palette, counterculture decor and casual sounding dialogue (not to mention Fara dismissing his warnings.) Even when I had no idea what was going to happen (and have never played star fox) this bittersweet, sickening feeling still crept in while watching that scene. Anyway overall the atmosphere in this soundtrack just delivers so much crushing tension. "Stand Off" --absolutely mesmerized by that scene, "You know I'm getting off this train", and the reactions from the lemurs... just, wow.

[@Grumbledookvid]

pee pee poo

[@vileluca]

Jericho Road is the best track seriously. Its the perfect flavor. Of a kid who's got all the potential in the world about to make a very bad decision.

[@Ymiriron]

i know what he said!

[@Kat-Bat]

The slow, dark sombre within the track really gives me an alternative gothic vibe of the 80s a little bit. Even the singing reminds me of Andrew Eldritch actually, so I really love it. Everything within this SF series blows me away! The animation, the music, the dedication! Its really incredible :D

I remember a few years ago saying that Fred was the next John Carpenter of music. The talent he puts in his music is on par with his animating techniques for "A Fox in Space". Riveting, atmospheric and outstanding. Keep up the great work, Fred. Never give up - trust your instincts.

[@lucasquintanilla1673]

You have no idea how many times I’ve listen to the videos in your soundtrack in the years before this, and now that we have the complete musical cut I can now listen to all the pieces of music I haven’t heard yet, especially from the new episode!

[@akwalek]

Matthews lost/abandoned project "Drug War" also had a great soundtrack. Particular favourite was "Black Tar Opiate Swill" .. I'd love a high quality version of that OST.

[@lucasquintanilla1673]

@@akwalek I only heard of it recently, but it is a shame that we will never see any complete or semi-complete version of that. I had heard that he had actually gotten as far as completing the story but then the hard drive was damaged or destroyed, and so it was lost. Now that a fox in space has episodes and content put onto KZbin. Such a loss would not be nearly as crippling. I wonder if part of the reason he uploads this stuff to KZbin is not just to show us his progress, but also to ensure that if such a thing where to happen again it wouldn’t destroy the project in its entirety.

[@Greenhourglass]

I wouldn't call them goons. The guys that were vicing ROB's head in a vice were goons. Those Lemurs were trained agents of an authoritarian police-state. Way more dangerous.

Just like the rest of this series, the music and soundtrack is just pure quality. I’m really excited to see what happens in the next episode. Opening theme part one is definitely my favorite song by far though, I’m always a sucker for jazz

[@dalehadley3283]

Part One's opening theme is sorta nostalgic for me,I remember watching episode 1 when it came out

[@samovarsa2640]

It's very reminiscent of Cowboy Bebop to me, even tho C.B. had more... energetic music, generally.

[@AirshBornely]

God I love that you incorporated the SNES SF soundfont in Welcome to Venom and Go it Alone. At least thats what it sounds like.

[@PointlessGunSyncs]

The Opening theme for chapter 2 is perhaps the best composition out of all of them for me. Seeing the final result was amazing!

[@Limit19970]

The opening theme of Episode 2, You're Going To Leave, The Standoff, and Go It Alone are my favs. The overall soundtrack really captures the 80's/90s action/drama movie theme perfectly, and each one fits their scenes soo well.

Salut from a fellow musician, Part two had a banging soundtrack honestly, I'm in awe. Scoring music for film in any form has been a passion for me but I never could excel in it, its a challenge, but something I certainly love and enjoy seeing!

[@BusterAnimations]

My favorite of all the scores has to be "Welcome to Venom". It has this eerie air about it that really makes you feel a sense of unknown. Like that feeling of trying to sneak snacks to your room without your parents noticing. Very well composed, even tho the track is very minimal in its composition.

[@Maximum_777]

I discover the channel when episode 2 drops, immediately go watch episode 1, and then episode 2, am shocked by the quality of the story telling, voice acting, and especially music, and I'm left wanting to hear the music on its own. Then the next day this drops and man, it's incredible. Both opening themes stand out, then Jericho Road is amazing for the tone setting it was responsible for in that scene, it didn't stand out, but it was there, made things feel oddly uneasy, and for whatever reason it goes hard af in the end. The Violence also is so odd... I recognize every single sample from this Nintendo 3Ds Daw that exists, and it's actually so exactly identical that I'm curious if you actually used that software, I think it was called Rytmik Retrobits... but anyways, you made that nostalgic as hell is what I'm saying and it really fits in as retro video game music. Standoff is masterful at building tension, and then Final Ride is so incredibly atmospheric, it's really perfect for that last scene. Anyways yeah, I liked the music lol, episode 3 of this is really gonna be incredible to see when it comes, I wish you luck.

Standoff is my favorite. That constant beat reminds me of a heartbeat swelling in pitch as the tension mounts. While the beat gets more pitched, it never speeds up and panics, just James staying cool under pressure.
