The ticking of the Geiger counter is a BRILLIANT idea!

[@GamingWithNikolas]

I was thinking the same thing

[@luckiestluck819]

wheres the ticking at?

[@the_gas_mask_man1527]

In the part where they talk about fossil fuels, it almost sounds like the puffing of smoke stacks or something related.

[@AtomicAlchemist]

Can someone explain whats a geiger counter?

[@treese_]

A Geiger counter is a device that detects the presence of ionizing radiation, it'll make a little "tick" sound whenever a particle flies through its detection field, so the more ticks, the higher the radiation.

[@funky_tree]

But i feel like I have some kind of phobia of that ticking. Guess it's just the idea of radiation?

[@eendo_]

I dont even need to listen to this for more than 5 seconds to add it to my playlist. Also thank you for the music you guys produce, you help me think in science class

[@Epicmountainmusic]

The starting sounds were annoying. But the water sounds are absolutely terrific. Cant express how much I liked the song

I love how epic mountain recycles one of their piece from before and turns it into something new yet still holding some of the aspects of the original piece. Also I love how they used a nuclear alarm as the percussion part on 3:26

[@AaronShenghao]

It's not recycling, but instead something like a theme. If you look up videos with similar tune, it's all about energy.

[@thatonecitrus6786]

The geiger counter in the background is just such an amazing touch.

[@Conservative4]

I really love the theme at 3:26. There’s a subtle alarm in the background of it, and a the main melody feels a lot like the steady march of a “deadline” or an emergency with a very gradual onset.

[@matyfenixcarmine]

Wait, why this soundtrack reminds me of another? Maybe "Climate Doom"? I don't know

This is my favorite track made by epic mountain hands down. A radioactive-filled remix of climate doom that slowly gets more distorted with the geiger counter sound effects until reaching a somber end. The motif from climate doom is so catchy & I thoight it was good until the first song of the year blew me away. This catchy part of this song the most enjoyable imo: 5:26-5:52 & 2:42
