0:00 Dawn of City 2:05 Dancing Megalopolis (always thought it was "metropolis" for some reason) 3:57 The Sim Magic for (ENIAC) 4:37 The Sim Magic: Experience MODE 6:15 The Construction: MAXIS 7:41 The Construction: LAKELAND 9:21 The Construction: HAPPYLAND 10:14 Selfish Citizen 11:30 Skyscrapers 13:44 Tax & Money 15:41 Pale City 16:44 Growing Up Town (prolog) 17:17 Growing Up Town (theme) 19:02 Work Work Work! 20:47 Ultimate City 22:46 Buildings 23:32 Melancholic Mayor 24:13 Acid Land 24:43 Misty Lake (more polished version of an unused track in the original SimCity 2000 (not sure if for DOS or for PC though)) 26:06 Key of Success Don't lift your hands up in the air and shout "It's our savior!". Many people could've done the same thing, it's just that I happen to be the one who did it on this specific occasion.

Thanks 🙂

Didn’t think there’d be ANY tracks that went unused in this game. Wonder if the unused track was ever in the files of the Mac version

[@RodCantillana]

I remember i heard the unused track in the SimCity2000 Network Edition for PC (came included in Compaq Presario computers)

[@worawatli8952]

I kind of got that vibe of Japanese fusion-jazz from it all the time, today I learnt that it was played by Japanese band. awesome

[@hgb7]

Yes 🙂

[@RitzLazyArtist]

They all sound like Jerry Martin or Marc Russo arranged them.

[@aussiejinjo]

sim city 2000 was filmed in front of a live studio audience

[@hgb7]

Crazy

[@DCol]

Love that I can play this during Cities Skylines!

[@hgb7]

Hack 🙂

[@MadameSomnambule]

I’ve seen plenty of arranged video game soundtracks come out of Japan in the 90s yet I’m still surprised that this one exists

[@hgb7]

Welcome

[@WestleyWolf]

I remember this exact CD! Some of it sounds alot like an animated series or movie from those times.

[@studiotime6671]

Wow. Didn't even know a live CD version existed. This is really something special. Thanks for sharing this.

[@hgb7]

Welcome :-)

[@NickDorrance]

I have decided to become an evangelist of this arrangement. I have no idea how exactly to execute this vision but I'm sure I can find someone else in my life who yearns for it the way I never knew I yearned.

[@jameswilliams9685]

This was great! Brought back so many memories!

[@hgb7]

Great!

[@amarait2]

this just makes it better if there was a remake

[@neptronix]

Basically you are my hero

[@hgb7]

Welcome 🙂

[@FeelingShred]

woah what a great find! thanks for sharing \o/

[@hgb7]

Welcome 🙂

[@ChaseMC215]

This is what the soundtrack for the PS1 version should of sounded like

[@hgb7]

True!

[@vicforas]

any Spotify or Deezer link for this album? Can't find it...

[@hgb7]

Don't 😞

[@vicforas]

@@hgb7 sad

[@megakek4457]

This is great, where did it come from? Was it included with some (Japanese?) editions of SC2000?

[@hgb7]

IDK, sorry 🙂

[@ThePoll321]

Hi where can I still buy this? I wish to support the creators and would like to have a digital copy instead =D

[@hgb7]

Sorry, I don't know where to buy 🙂

[@GigaMan91]

Is there any way to buy/download this soundtrack nowadays?

[@hgb7]

Maybe by torrent: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:B51E227D2752D33D59F6416CAECC47C8323E5630&dn=SimCity&tr=http%3a%2f%2fbt.bit-loader.xyz%2fann%3fmagnet

[@randomdude1053]

Convert KZbin to MP3. Google it

[@k-leb4671]

@@randomdude1053 I can't believe people still suggest this. That's such a crappy way to download any audio files. KZbin's audio quality is middling and using a website to download it to mp3 makes it even worse.

[@GenuineLolotov]

A growing fan of this mix; the instrumentation is vaguely reminiscent of the Journeyman Project's soundtrack style. Some timestamps for each track would be nice, though.

[@hgb7]

Indeed :-)

[@meanmole3212]

WHAT IS THIS

[@hgb7]

Music 🙂

[@k-leb4671]

Man, this would've been so cool if they'd gotten more than 3 performers, or at least a synth that sounds good. The sax and guitar are killer, but the rest of the instrumental sections sound cheap and tacky, like they were still being played by the old computers SimCity 2000 ran on.

[@hgb7]

Agree 🙂

[@sickleandsuckle]

I actually like how the instrumentals were set up in these remixes. The use of older synths hearkens back to the era that SC2000 was released on. (Which is almost 30 years ago!!!)

[@michigandersea3485]

Isn't that part of the appeal?
