Alexander Brandon - The Shell

[@Nomans_Nomen]

This mans unquestionable genius has received a criminal lack of recognition. A god among men.

[@pettergustafsson8879]

This sort of music is basicly only found in games. And most of them from 1997-2002. Unreal, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and Deus Ex Soundtracks are.....GODLIKE!!!

[@Gustavo6046]

No, they are MONSTER KILL.

[@astralboy]

nicely put!

[@mrdrsir2324]

Found him because of gnoosic.And i must say,you're goddamn right

[@Marco-ve2kk]

Wait for people to play videogames instead of going to cinema.

[@IamAlwaysRight]

This man is a genius, this is why UT99 was so great.

[@ThoughTMusic]

Wow he is truly outstanding. This song has Unreal Tournament nostalgia written all over it.

[@reyp4388]

I don't even like electronic music, but this man's style is another thing

[@EmperorOfLols]

The music is augmented.

[@goodname5920]

This was a good comment. What a rotten way to like

[@KwadDamyj]

I expect even more likes on this song...Within six months.

[@EmperorOfLols]

@@KwadDamyj Why? the new Deus Ex game got cancelled.

[@-1nterruption-960]

Wow you just took me straight back to Unreal. This mans composition is legendary. Why isn't he more famous!??!?!!!!

[@phaedruslive]

He should be on the gaming music mount rushmore next to David Wise, Mark Morgan and Kenji Yamamoto.

[@xFluing]

Man, this guy's music takes me back to the times I played JJ2.

[@PrekiFromPoland]

Alex is still the same guy as he was back in 90s! Maybe he has abandoned olschool trackers in favour of modern music software, but his style remains the same through years, through decades! This song, for example, has a great mixed Unreal/Deus Ex/Jazz Jackrabbit feeling. Too bad that he didn't get along with Epic Games, he would make another great soundtracks for their games. And if one of his albums will be released in Poland - I'm gonna get it ASAP!

[@KwadDamyj]

Mind if I ask what happened between him and Epic?

[@DeiMOS-V1]

Unreal and Unreal tournament.. Oh god I miss the days. Actually makes me want to cry because those games were so epic.

[@holymegadave]

just like the company name xD Epic Megagames! xD

[@RennieAsh]

Well, "unreal" and "epic" are still around I guess. But nowadays everyone just wants to play games every. Two weeks

[@HexxuSz]

this man is big part of what made unreal unreal

[@GoodVsEvil1314]

I like how this guy's songs have that nostalgic feel of a 90's video game. Truly AMAZING!

[@Gustavo6046]

What next, Brandon? We are yours to be slaved, soaked in your songs, happy for listening your dreams, fought every Skaarj and every of those Bobs and what else listening to your beautiful and abstract notions, and what more? You still do them! It makes me happier, thanks for brushing my nostalgia out of my mind, now I can work in Sentient Mushes knowing the world isn't a bad place. :') I follow your path, riddled with failures, ended in success. I train with dreams in mind. With perfections in mind. And perfections by no more than you. Keep up Siren!

[@TonyKanameKuran]

Composer Alexander Brandon is now at Retro Studios in Austin, Texas. He'll be composing from a brand new title for the Nintendo Switch. It may or may not be a Metroid title... possibly a new IP.

[@City-Hunter]

Deus Ex Meets the JackRabbit!

[@SSBBMario301]

Came from mugen, sonicadam2’s “Blossom vs Chowder” video.

[@Alex-bt8pw]

Amazing track! Sounds like my favorite game, Unreal!

[@lohengrinShattenknecht]

Oh my God it's like playing Unreal again...how many remembrances...That's why I would marry him :D

[@inevitablext]

pls be in london

[@wvxiw]

Is the melody on 4:00 from some song? Looks very familiar. Or is it in contrary - some artist used the melody from here?

[@v0idthrashtilldeath127]

This song has the vibe of Deus Ex, I wish that Alex and the current composer michal will work toghter on the next big Deus ex soundtrack, If thay do that the result will be epic!!

[@adil11223344]

This guy makes sick soundtracks man, UT and Deus Ex, LEGEND.

[@-1nterruption-960]

The original Unreal

[@adil11223344]

​@@-1nterruption-960Damn, I didn't expect someone to reply to my 12 year old comment hahahaha

[@akrammeziane9979]

Best composer no cap .he is criminally underrated

[@Agent1W]

2:13-2:36 is my favorite part.

[@MlSHKlN]

unlike most electronic music, each track that this guy makes seems to evolve like a story does

[@FeelingShred]

like some Satriani songs from the album "Engines of Creation" or "Strange Beautiful Music" (second half of the album)

[@hellmet6015]

this is the definition of a masterpice.

[@RandomlyDrumming]

One of my favorite musicians and I'm not even into electronic music! :) An unquestionable talent for creating fantastic music! :)

[@aeromolica]

Are you from Russia?)

[@NeonRaeon]

This song is a masterpiece...

[@mailsprower1]

He used ModPlug Tracker, if I'm not mistaken. This program is free and can be downloaded from its official site. You can even find his original music files and open them in Tracker if you want.

[@BlazeRhodon]

I found this track on Alex Brandon Facebook profile. I recommending this site, much awesome music to listen.

[@nobua3562]

It's so cool track.I bought it at Amazon Digital Music yesterday.

[@arturhurnitskyi7360]

качает

[@Maxarcc]

I remember this guy from Jazz Jackrabbit 2. His soundtracks are so memorable and wellcomposed. I wonder what he's up to now.

[@FaheemProductions]

3 dislikers will be punished by the Skaarj in UT99. :v

[@xzystence]

oh, such relaxing sounds...love it

[@nuhuhbruhbruh]

Trackers only give you a GUI for comfortably laying sounds own in a sequences and subsequences. Most wave synths should be capable of producing the base sounds for what we're hearing here. There's a good number of sound creation tutorials on KZbin from beginner to intermediate levels.

[@sharkminu]

This should have a lot more views ! It's excellent !

[@Banzay27]

I've listening to it casually half a dozen times, I've become familiarized with it and this is often turning point when we decide if we really like it or if, after all, not so much. This one, I certainly like it. I like it a lot, especially the bit at 2:10. I forget the musical term. Each time I've come to this page, I've clicked on Like. I don't suppose it counts them all, if any, beyond the first. Regardless, I feel I owe it to the uploader and the musician, the least I can do.

[@RennieAsh]

If you are logged in then you can only like it once lol. Pressing it again removed the like

[@s-tierrobot9468]

the most cybercore track to exist

[@RygorMortys]

I don't know either, but I love the sound he has too. It's definitely a huge influence on the way I shape my synth. Try asking him on Facebook.

[@WashingMaschine]

God damn, why is Brandon so awesome!

[@idealirreal]

Man this is so unreal tournament

[@Olus_Cerberon]

I imagine this track as the main menu theme for some never existed Deus Ex game build on Unreal Engine 1. Oh, man, I clearly visualise it.

[@ISRAELHECHEM]

Never heard before, awesome, thanks

[@AndWhenHeFalleth]

I want to have Alexander Brandon's babies!

[@rjmario2234]

I could definitely hear this in deus ex during combat

[@fabienlecouls7180]

the best to rush in a fps !

[@owlboar]

Rush B Cyka Blyat! :D

[@lemystere5345]

Going to buy the complete album to add to my Alexander Megamix playlist. I wish it was on Bandcamp instead so I could get the FLAC files instead of MP3s...

[@HYDR44]

0 dislike. Nice. :)

[@RennieAsh]

+Cannon ah ah ah 3 dislikes, there was 1 extra one in 8 whole months

[@ethai1]

on what album this song appears? can't find it anywhere except youtube

[@GenuineBruno]

Thank you alexander brandon....thank you so fucking much

[@AjedrezEnEspanol]

@DemmonJunior UT99, Buena época. Completamente de acuerdo.

[@Blockistium]

i would love to hear it if you do

[@oneiromultimedia1]

I know about modtracker, its what i use to make music. I guess my question should have been more like, where/how did he get the samples he works with?

[@Banzay27]

@LittleFoxDude Totally... Ought to get this album.

[@robertszekely2005]

@GoodVsEvil1314 No wonder he composed the background music for Jazz Jackrabbit :D

[@DJRevan]

@ilovemadnesscombat It' from his latest album, and it's free to DL from his site. (To my best knowledge...)

[@jcb9342]

omg this is god level :o

[@EwoutvdSchoor]

awesome

Is this one of his tracks from a game, or where did you get this? I'd love to find the module file for it if this is still from the time he used modplug.

@DJRevan I downloaded it from another site a while ago, but thanks anyway.

[@TheRoseMarch]

@LittleFoxDude absolutely(:

[@alrizkimarino]

and hell's kitchen vibe around 1:25 :D

[@Sumez]

Wow. I've missed the Fast Traker sound :P

[@hammerhead8318]

yeah deus ex =)

[@markcsernovszky875]

yeah

[@Dallenbaker]

The replay button is being raped...

[@esppsp]

Ahh! School days and Unreal Tournament '99.

[@Novous]

Don't forget TYRIAN and CRUSADER NO REMORSE

[@Usernameztaken]

That's because he made songs for 90s video games.

[@oneiromultimedia1]

I have already! go here soundsoutthere (dot) bandcamp (dot) com and have a listen!

[@TheIceManDan23]

4:01

[@86Corvus]

[@kuchitsu4]

[@Gen755]

hahahaha

[@mattmatthew]

the chromatic dragon lives

[@Gustavo6046]

mattmatthew Wait... I though we were talking about the nineties, not DnD or NetHack! (which introduced that dragon in I forgot)

[@nathandegroot6490]

Just like Jazz Jack Rabbits..

[@JCDentonCZ]

After all, he also made the soundtrack for the Jazz Jackrabbit games. ;)

[@JimmyJacksonDapperPinkAlpaca]

I actually don't like it... BUT I could never ruin something so beautiful as 1 dislikes!
