Ape Escape - Time Station // a lo-fi breather

Did you ever just leave this on in the background to listen to the music?
I know, I know. There's an evil monkey out there across the vastness, doing weird stuff to the time-space continuum. He can wait ~ after all, this place is a time machine :')
This lo-fi breather is a remix of Time Station from Ape Escape (PS1, 1999)
MP3 / Flac download link over on my patreon: / luministmusic
For the gear fiends out there, I recorded a Korg Volca Keys synthesizer through a 90s cassette dictaphone to achieve this [warbly~warm~grainy] sound. Every synth sound was recorded to the dictaphone separately, and then mixed together in the computer later. The drum sounds were sampled from a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-12.

This song makes me so happy

[@prog00017]

One of the best. This OST really opened my eyes to electronic music as a kid. Great mix. Thanks.

[@Luministmusic]

it's such a great soundtrack hey! glad you enjoyed :)

[@mattd3826]

Me too. One of the happiest memories of my childhood is of the title screen from this game, where he is running in the bright, sunny field and that amazingly happy title screen music is playing

[@ScoobaSteveNC]

hell yeah better than mario ost and zelda imo

[@Billcomesback]

@@ScoobaSteveNC DUDE i grew up with Nintendo, but TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, BETTER THAN MARIO OST kjhsdkljasd it's fantastic, is one of those few old classic games I still play due to their OST, I would love for them to make a game like this again, or make a remastered version of this one akljsd

There are only a handful of games from my childhood that I avidly replay. Ape Escape is one of them.

[@MUSQUIZanimation]

Ugh! How dare you have it playing on a CRT in a dimly lit room. The nostalgia.

[@napalmmoon]

This is actually crazy accurate and the beat sounds amazing. Breath taking nostalgia!

[@milkmanswife93696]

welp, guess I'm gonna have to play this game

[@riskvideos]

That takes me back.

[@fernandopacheco1795]

I never knew I needed this, now i do :)

[@eggsaladbob]

This remix fucks

[@animationfun17]

Can you imagine if this was the theme to the end credits

[@Maxim.Nazarenko]

Good one.

[@riles-apple]

Dude this shit's so great, thank you for making this. I grew up with this series and still got my Ape Escape 3 copy on me.

[@Alextremo-13]

Maaaan. Anything you make is so good. Lol. Just jumped to this one from the Star Fox one you made earlier. Dope ass music to listen to while laying in bed.

[@Luministmusic]

that's the goal with these lo-fi breathers :) thank you!

[@PeakWheat]

this go fire my brother

[@hawkstory8758]

fire jeez ✨

[@uirusux]

Amazing cover.

[@silverx2624]

Howdy! I stumbled upon this and was wondering if I could use it for a music project I'm working on? I noticed you have a patreon so I can sub to it if need be, but i would of course give you credit and the project its being used in isn't going to be sold or anything.

[@Luministmusic]

hey there! sounds interesting, would you be able to send me an email? it's in the "about" page on my channel

[@silverx2624]

@@Luministmusic absolutely will do

[@DrControversy]

Hi Luminist, You do amazing stuff. Love your Metroid stuff in particular. Something just occurred to me. Apart from your stuff, one of my absolute favorite game music remixes on KZbin is this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3ixhJyHrtSXatE from 1998's Unreal. Here's the original song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6m5oIp_pd1_arM I would be absolutely over the moon with joy if you were to ever take a crack at making your own remix of that song. I know that's a serious longshot as you may not have any nostalgia for Unreal, and I'm sure any given song you do is a lot of work, but I thought it couldn't hurt to toss the idea out there. Here's one more remix of it, if you're curious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfbY3Wld8yJfbs

[@Luministmusic]

oh wow this is cool! I never played unreal but that's a great track for sure, very atmospheric. I have a pretty decent list of stuff for remixing right now, but who knows maybe in future :) and thanks for the kind words!

[@DrControversy]

@@Luministmusic Understood. Would it be something I could commission? If so, any idea what you'd charge? Got an email we can discuss via?

[@Luministmusic]

@@DrControversy we could talk about that for sure! not gonna link right here because bots, but my email address is on my channel's "about" page :)
