Crypt of the Necrodancer OST - Disco Descent (1-1)

[@M1ndblast]

Now THIS is how you put down a first impression. First level DannyB just kicks the door in and lays down the beat. Jesus.

[@feralfluid]

+Strider449 Yep, Sacrificial is an AMAZING Isaac track, and after the title screen music too? Whew.

[@WindWerehog]

ackschually the first impression is the Tombtorial

[@seanobrien276]

You're definitely right about that. But I'd argue he never actually kicked the door in--he simply blasted it in with godly musical skills.

[@AnarchyintheTerranFederation]

The force of the Necrodancer's balls shriveling depressurized the entire dungeon and the door just imploded. We didn't think it could happen but 🤷‍♂️

[@PhoebusAmoebus]

This is going to sound kinda morbid. But I work in an emergency room, and any time I'm doing CPR this is the song that I think of to help me do consistent chest compressions. Works like a charm and I get to have a cool song playing in my head while we're trying to pull someone back from the maw of death.

[@kryyto6587]

That's nice, it works with the song "Staying Alive" too, ahah...

[@JuicyCubical]

talk about necromancy

[@randomdudelol4976]

It dosent help that this song litterally as the same bpm needed to do chests compression at a soild rate too.

[@f1reflam3]

​@@randomdudelol4976wait really?

[@randomdudelol4976]

@f1reflam303 yea, i looked up. The BMP needed to do chest compression is 100-120 BMP. It just so happens that this song has a BMP of 115 BMP, which is just in the right range of the BMP needed for chest compressions. (Oh, btw i used google for comparison)

[@TaggedInBlue]

this track has absolutely no business being one of the hardest bangers I've ever heard in a video game ost, I never dreaded losing and having to start over just cuz I got to hear it again

[@rearea389]

why cuphead???

[@tibik.8407]

@@juuuune Idk, guess people really like jazzy music. Cant blame them though.

[@skeleton8948]

@@juuuune I mean, I'm not biased or anything but Cuphead did have an absolutely jamming soundtrack. My problem with it winning is it only had one genre of music to go with it. It's music was good, but not diverse. Crypt of the Necrodancer and Undertale also kind of fall into that category too though.

[@Cacemomarerona]

ca·dence /ˈkādns/ a sequence of notes or chords comprising the close of a musical phrase. "the final cadences of the Prelude" Danny, you sir, are a MASTERMIND.

[@MsZsc]

theres plenty of puns though some are more obvious like melody

[@AAAAGamesGames]

Don't forget "dorian", "melody" and "aria"

[@smartaleckduck4135]

Aria is the climax of an opera or something like that I believe Edit: It is a vocal performance without any backing or instruments in the background.

[@Multibe150]

I mean, the title of the game is a pun, no surprise there's plenty of those

[@mayonnaise2396]

Aria, Melody, Dorian. The whole family is a pun!

[@DannasamaOtaku]

I love that you can clearly hear that your running out of time and your about to fall. It's a literal drop to a song

[@gyppygirl2021]

My instincts still go into overdrive whenever I hear the closing notes of the song... gotta make it to the exit before time runs out!

[@Dice-Z]

@@gyppygirl2021 Yep, it's an example of good game design, with good composition on top of it. Rarely pointed out in spite of it.

[@Spotcats]

1:05 Fav part. Love the sound of that. Fav track from the game.

[@joshriley2936]

I'd say that's my favorite part, too. The best I can describe the feeling it gives me is that it feels like it really progresses the tune in a slightly different way than it was already going, in a cool way.

[@HayTatsuko]

First impressions are often correct when it comes to videogame music. In this case, it's not just a taste of the awesome coming down the pike -- it's one of the best darned tunes in the whole game.

[@thedukeultimate]

Thank you Distant Coder

[@LordTactusMe]

This game has arguably the best OST ever made. And this game is one of my favorite games ever. Simply brilliant.

[@Dameonkun]

Lord Swirlix pfft 3-1 is the best song

[@domilksauce2995]

Damon_kun it's all about King Conga by Familyjules

[@squodge]

@Lord Swirlix... I agree. I think it's the unexpected change in harmony at 1:12 that adds tension and excitement to the solo.

[@farfrompopular]

Damon_kun I never even heard that before... because I haven’t made it that far... why? I suck at this game

[@GastHeer_]

[@GermanBleach]

I still love that soundtrack. Very great job Danny

[@blastygamez]

Damn, this is just such a good song!!,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lundojelding9727]

I played this in the car the other day, and I have to say... hearing it on big-ish speakers, right after the first three songs of the game (the tutorial and lobby ones; I was listening to the whole OST) was downright glorious. On its own, it isn't one of my favorite songs in the game (though it's not bad in the slightest, don't get me wrong) but its placement... my gosh. This is SUCH good way to kick off a game! The tutorial songs are kinda quiet, almost underwhelming... and then this one is like, "YEAH, THAT REALLY WAS THE TUTORIAL... WELCOME TO THE *GAME* , BITCH!" ...now I've just gotta get around to actually playing it, lol

[@slurpyeel]

A solar equinox is a moment in time when the Sun crosses the Earth's equator, which is to say, appears directly above the equator, rather than north or south of the equator. On the day of the equinox, the Sun appears to rise "due east" and set "due west". This occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 23 September. More precisely, an equinox is traditionally defined as the time when the plane of Earth's equator passes through the geometric center of the Sun's disk. Equivalently, this is the moment when Earth's rotation axis is directly perpendicular to the Sun-Earth line, tilting neither toward nor away from the Sun. In modern times, since the Moon (and to a lesser extent the planets) causes Earth's orbit to vary slightly from a perfect ellipse, the equinox is officially defined by the Sun's more regular ecliptic longitude rather than by its declination. The instants of the equinoxes are currently defined to be when the apparent geocentric longitude of the Sun is 0° and 180°. The word is derived from the Latin equinoctial, from aequus (equal) and nox (genitive noctis) (night). On the day of an equinox, daytime and nighttime are of approximately equal duration all over the planet. They are not exactly equal, however, because of the angular size of the Sun, atmospheric refraction, and the rapidly changing duration of the length of day that occurs at most latitudes around the equinoxes. Long before conceiving this equality, primitive equatorial cultures noted the day when the Sun rises due east and sets due west, and indeed this happens on the day closest to the astronomically defined event. As a consequence, according to a properly constructed and aligned sundial, the daytime duration is 12 hours.
