Ape Escape Soundtrack - 03 - Time Station

enjoy.

[@chaffXgrenade]

If you listen closely, you may notice a sped-up sample from "When The Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin

[@VanLupen]

YOU ARE KIDDING ME! Timestamp?

[@mathematicalcowboy3166]

Where?

[@el.ivansillo]

where?

[@TeckGeck]

👀👀

[@thegrinderman1090]

Unless I'm mistaken it's the drum break at 0:41 and several other times. It's sped up by like 4x though so it only lasts a second. Like the Amen break, it's been sampled in countless breakbeat songs.

[@fusi0nn]

This is when games actually put an emphasis on soundtracks.

[@chaffXgrenade]

Well, let's not get too caught up in nostalgia. Game OSTs can still go hard.

[@MrTronCat1]

Also, the persona series OST is really good.

BIG FACTS!

[@gm9729]

Damn, this explains my current taste in music.

[@ericstewart0921]

I think this, DDR, Tekken, Marvel vs Capcom all shaped my current taste in music. I don't know what it was but there was something about Japanese production. They hit every genre in every game.

[@troywright359]

Ifoldthenuts Tekken tag tournament 1 perfected it i feel. it might legitimately be one of the top ten video game soundtracks ever created.

[@chagas8822]

Me too. Now I'm into Drum n bass, some electronic vibes, jam bands, progressive stuff...

Ape escape is the single biggest influence on music in my entire life. I can trace my love for electronic music because of this soundtrack. It's absolutely brilliant.

[@angeldarkheart]

Love this comment. Same here ❤

[@JacketsOnFire]

Are you into ambient jungle?

[@dapperfan44]

I recommend for more like this from a game, Bomberman Hero and Ape Escape 3.

[@kentreed2011]

Same, I love Jungle and DnB because of this game. This song and Snowy mammoth are my favorites.

[@agreen2688]

beautifull, love this game too, had to come back to this amazing sounds eventually.

[@dylanwebb8567]

Most nights when I find myself laying up, unable to sleep and staring at the ceiling, this song hums through my mind. It’s as though it’s the theme to my own mental time station where my memories are preserved. God I loved this series.

So nostalgic... I've been treated to get this vinyl 🥰

[@CamerataAndrea2000]

I remember when i was little i always went to the save point area to look at the machines around and also going to the training area to watch the world while listening to this awesome music, it always gave me such a wonderful sensation like i was here in another dimension completely different from the one i'm usually

[@Gamemaster690]

Same the feeling of playinging now is the same feeling I had playing it then, without the music it would feel so different x(

It took me reaching my twenties, and being stoned one night looking for chill music to fully appreciate this. Now I listen to it at least once a week lol.

[@kentreed2011]

Back when I was truly happy and carefree! Time really does fly... good times.

[@RuneCode]

Music to listen to when your bored ape nft gets stolen

[@lilbabytears]

I used to stay in this scene just to blast this music on my speakers as a kid. That was a lit summer lol !

[@TheDeathlessLordCerberus]

I remember loving and being entranced by this music as a child :') This was one of my favourite games, still probably my most favourite. Played it repeatedly, bonded and got emotionally attached to spike and even specter. I felt empty and sad at the Game credits too as it was over :(

[@SkyyRoyal]

damn bro. yes yes and more yes

[@arxg1934]

our kids are gonna view these games in an ancient sense like we view old videogames (from the 80s and early 90s). to us these were advanced man, i was born in 2000 and played this when i was 7 but damn, videogames and graphics have literally launched from this point to new heights. its gonna be hard explaining to the next gen that this was amazing for me

[@theultimatedriver3858]

I have that same feeling. The games I played when I was little are now seen as classic to some, which makes me feel ancient. Hope we can all have wonderful memories with our families playing these games for many decades to come though!

[@napoleoncomplex2712]

I heard this as a kid on a demo disc. Not even a full game; a demo disc. Heard it in the credits of 'Freeman's Mind Animated: Modern Major General' twenty years later and I instantly knew where it was from. Talk about iconic music when it gets anchored into your head that quickly. Then again, I played the heck out of that demo.

Used to play ape escape like crazy when I was a kid. Never forgot about the music either! Just got a ps4 and noticed they had this on ps store with achievments, so i instantly bougth it just to get 100% on it. The game still holds up to this day! 😁✌️

[@SkyyRoyal]

one of the most nostalgic songs of my life

[@dazedream2392]

This was in my mix, among hard rock n stuff like that. This comes up and immediately my eyes widen with a simple magic. This games art and music was just magically exploratory, they did something very very right.

[@Faust4712]

25 years old now…guess time really does fly!

[@williamlindsey2744]

You got that right. Listening to this right now brings me back to Sping 2001. After playing the PlayStation Magazine demo disc for 2 years, my parents finally bought me the game for my birthday. One of the things I would do (after I 100% completed the game) was go to the Training Room (the room to the right if I remember correctly), climb up one of the yellow(?) beams and watch Spike do his little animations while this theme played. Good times and good memories..

I remember this game being my refuge when I was a kid. My father had left us, and some other important people in my family had bailed on us too. I felt pretty alone, and my PlayStation, with this game amongst other treasured ones, was my trustiest source of comfort and safety. The tone of this game, its quirkiness and this music left such a huge mark on me. I only just realized so many years later how much Ape Escape and Soichi Terada mean to me. Without intending to or even thinking about it, I ended up getting a taste for very similar, quirky and creative music, electronic or not. That's how I connect to my inner child and this sense of security I felt playing this game. Got very emotional this morning thinking about this while listening to this specific track. It's SO lush and atmospheric, perfect escapism soundtrack. Thank you Terada-san.

I'm so glad my older sister was into games at a young age, otherwise I wouldn't have played this one and I would've missed out on some of the greatest music of all time! Now, she's no longer in my life, but this song holds the carefree, innocent memories of us playing this game from a happier place in time.

[@SacredMilkOG]

This track fills me with sad nostalgia... games used to be so much more epic with less to work with.

[@williamlindsey2744]

Gaming has changed a lot since 25 years ago, the gaming industry is even bigger than the movie industry now. There isn't a lot of room for experimentation these days (if we're talking about AAA publishers) as games just cost TOO much to make now. That's my guess at least.

[@d0ll02]
