Beyond Good and Evil - Propaganda

yeah its the song in the Akuda Bar. This was also created by Christophe Heral. Have nice time listening.

[@d0m2288]

Not sure why, but this randomly popped in my head in 2022. Literally haven't heard it since I played this game in 2004. Pretty surreal.

HELL YEAH >:3

[@kashiala9574]

LMAO 🤣

[@mikesmyth8330]

Fun facts, after a bit of research: "Mainly Bulgarian lyrics were chosen for the song "Propaganda", which plays in the game's Akuda Bar, to allude to the Soviet propaganda of the Cold War. It uses a recording of a telephone conversation by Héral with a female Bulgarian friend to represent the government's control of the media. It also incorporates Arabic string instruments and Indian percussion. "

[@xRocketzFighterx]

No wonder this song is done so well ironically.

[@4i4kov]

As a Bulgarian I can confirm the female voice is speaking in my mother tongue. I have no idea what language the rest of the lyrics are in though.

[@πατριχορ]

So basically a patch-work

[@technite5360]

The team were also marked by the bush administration pro war propaganda for irak. The style was mauresque for architecture and Mediterranean because of the Arabic style of Heral in the music, in fact they used derbuka a North African drums, not Indian. The game is supposed to be multicultural input, Ubisoft Casablanca and Milan worked on the game… also Michel Ancel lived in Tunisia when he was young, so there a lot of North African influence, today Ubisoft Casablanca doesn’t exist anymore, and the team still work on BGE2. under great pressure and they have to redo bge2 since they changed chief project many times and the new one is incompetent (from a source who worked there) but the game is going to be release for sure (Yves Guillemot is producer)… I can only tell you it’s too much ambitious and they try to use the idea of the first one who use only 5% of what they had in mind… and even greater.

[@OdaSwifteye]

I always think of this when the word Propaganda is used. As you might have guessed, I think of it often now.

[@dragonkitty5578]

[@ShinoSarna]

The thing is, this is not just a banger. It perfectly fits the game's themes - Akuda Bar is the local hive of dissidents and intellectuals (that's why nobody's ratting out the resistance). If someone would bemoan actual state/planet's propaganda, it would be people in the bar. In addition, lyrics are primarily in Bulgarian - and Bulgaria has it's history with authoritarian rulers, both the Tzar and the communists. Every element in this game is perfect.

[@mastracu66207]

[@matthiaspuch9752]

The soundtrack is so incredibly dense and diverse, incorporating all kinds of cultural influences, always fitting the mood and the same time conveying the basic matter of the game, which is that diversity and open-mindedness is the key for a successful living. For me, this is the most memorable soundtrack to any game ever. And really, this is a shame, if you look at it. As this game is over a decade old and given that nowadays there is much more money to be made in the video game business, there should be an sucessor by now, but obviously nobody ever dared to approach the soundtrack question which such an artistic spin since then.

[@D4MI0N]

@@GoldieTamamo The slaughtering of humans in such a way, is more descriptive of what demons do to people. The fallen ones can appear to us in what ever way they wish. If "Satan himself can appear as and angel of light", then so can lesser demonic entities appear to be "alien"! Whenever she encountered aliens, the "Propaganda" song came on. The aliens are the Propaganda used to hide the fact that demons exist....

[@axie545]

Oh hey this is extremely cool! I botched together some lyrics when I was a kid studying Japanese and Spanish, so I don't have much of an ear for Bulgarian or languages like it and what I came up with is totally different in a lot of places. Any chance you could throw in some phonetic support? I see this line is translateable if you ask Google Translate, but I can't make "vrianneledenji" fit with what I'm hearing as "byauderlinne" no matter how hard I try. (Thanks for "notsusokje" in particular, recently I was killing myself trying to figure out if that started with a "d" or a "b" or a "g" until I finally decided it must be "th." Like I said, bad ear lol.) Edit: Actually these appear to completely break Google translate? I was getting "Propaganda and work in English," and "Propaganda and human resources," and "Propaganda and non-public relations," which all seemed so appropriate to the theme that I figured it was probably intentional, but as soon as I individually search for those words in Bulgarian from other sources, they're totally different. Spooky.

[@SuperEvilMuffin]

I don't suppose you have a translation for it, do you?

@@SuperEvilMuffin I'm not even sure if this is an actual language, though if I remember correctly the composer based on Polish or some other East-European language. I just wrote what I interpreted the words to be based on my hearing.

I remember bright as day booting this in my dad's 90s pc with windows xp, however I was kind of a scary cat so I never played past the part with the soul reaper in the factory because it scared the ever living shit out of me, I only beat it once and my heart was pounding so hard I just stopped playing. 1 week ago in class my brain suddenly decided to revive this song 14 years later out of nowhere and I remembered that I never beat it, but got tremendously good at everything before the reaper fight because I just kept replaying that part, I'm currently half way through my playthrough I believe, reaper defeated and remembering every got damn Pearl.
