Jack: Music maker man! Your beats are bad! DJ: Oh yeah! They're Bad! Jack: No! Not bad good, BAD BAD! DJ: Whatever.

Definately.

[@343griffin]

After all these years... I finally find the reason why I dig the bass in techno music so much o-o

[@lootbaglu]

+343griffin thats called a hardcore kick look up ravecore, hardstyle, gabber. thats what they use, i produce a little hardstyle...

[@lars38010]

This is not Hardcore. This is a combination of Acid Techno,Acid House,Acid Trance and Industrial music. This is Hardcore. Black Knight - Back To Tha O School

[@MrAbefication]

You're right and saying "140 bpm" would have done the job too

[@werumensium385]

You're not the only one after so many years I realised why I like trance and techno so much :)) or good electronic music in general

Over a decade? Brother this episode came out almost 21 years ago. That makes it 2 decades and us hella old

[@NexusARC]

It kills me there is no official OST to the original show. The amount of amazing works that people throw out just blow my mind.

[@PrismOpal64]

The fact that this track has never been officially released is an unfortunate sin

[@afroartist1086]

Yeah, unfortunately there are a lot of tracks in Samurai Jack that were never officially released for some reason.

[@themajesticpat]

yeah i vibed to wild ride, but it was never released:(

[@gremlinwc8996]

Yeah. The Triceraquin theme, the Spartan battle music, the woolie revolt music, basically al of the rave music, the animal fighter guy theme from the chicken Jack episode, and so many more, all so good and yet unreleased

+Hero of Time Productions yes it is the most memorable quote kind of funny and weird at the same time

Watched this episode when I was a kid, this was the song that got me into electronic music, still in my top five.

[@lazerpeabody8062]

despite this song being 13 years old its still bad ass till this day

[@WolfDOuka]

This song probably was the cause of me loving electronic music too XD

[@LinkieLinkGameing]

C9R9D it scared me. now I cant stop listening to it. XD

[@Metisp]

Check out the Shranz Total CD series if you like this sound.

[@stripedone3294]

You all got corrupted by Aku's devil music, haha

[@johnathancopson9328]

now this is some music I don't mind being mindcontrolled by.

[@Shralla]

***** Is this really what regular people think of all electronic music?

[@hamiltonsteeleisgaz]

awesome

[@herooftimeproductions9022]

+Johnathan Copson I wouldn't mind being hypnotized by this music either.

[@danielbell5986]

+Hero of Time Productions ...but you already are

[@Dmidas94]

I was literally just thinking the same thing.

[@nooneelseuploadedit6514]

I love how the theme of this episode is that the old fashioned parents were kind of right and Aku was using the devil's music to brainwash the kids. It's like a simultaneous joke at the expense of over protective parents while making the whole rave seem very cool while also sending a wholesome message about family.

[@Devils_Lair_Comics]

kinda ironic when you think about it

[@nomad2057]

Oh wow, this is so good.

[@Matihood1]

Meh. I don't like thinking too much about hidden messages in pieces of entertainment. I'm just here to enjoy the music.

[@TY-PO]

@@Matihood1 Same, but it’s cool to think that the animation team bothered to slip these messages in anyways. It compliments the music and the theme.

[@SpinoRexy733]

I hate the idea of even entertaining the concept, of pearl clutching, religious nutjobs being right about any music they don't like being "devil music" even in a fictional context or any context for that matter.

[@018FLP]

Gotta say that listening to this now, years after, baffled me. I remembered that it was a good music, but came in to listen with a "ah, it must've been a generic 'boots cats' soundtrack" mindset, but now i'm banging my head hard. The fact that this music legit could play in a Rave and everyone would love it shows how Samurai Jack was well crafted.

[@ShayaFury]

Totally agree

[@ElricWilliam]

Thats good music xD

[@gremlinwc8996]

I'm watching samurai Jack for the first time but I've essentially spoilled the plot and everything for myself so I know most of what's coming. I had seen a video with the rave and rave music before, but I just watched the full episode about an hour ago and I was jamming since the electronic music started. I'm mainly a metal guy but I also love some rap and some electronic music like this

[@Davidevgen]

imo they should have really put all the music from this show on CD.

[@killingfeveronline_archives]

I agree so much.

[@E101ification]

Indeed. Instead we get 3 Powerpuff Girls soundtracks....:/

[@Davidevgen]

E101ification indeed...

[@zerglingist]

The music is so good that Spades Slick likes it

[@lazerpeabody8062]

or vinyl.

[@AlleyCatAlex]

This is 11 minutes of pure ecstasy

[@jorgedardon5574]

I got an itch to rewatch samurai jack and I came across this. I had never really paid attention to the music during "Jack and the Rave", but once I did I realized I had never heard anything like it and I itched to find the full version. This is desire, escape, control, and a bunch of other pounding emotions manifested into song. Long live acid

[@Metisp]

you might like the Shranz Total CD series. It's a little older, but if you like this sound, you might enjoy the series.

[@gabe_s_videos]

And appropriate word for this kind of music XD

[@R0KStARR1992]

Definitely got the ecstasy part right

[@marlindagomez5766]

Awesome I bobs is jumping

[@pablolpz]

'This is the ultimate, I can't go for it' is a legit Rave/Happy Hardcore sample, this guy genuinely knew his stuff.

[@BastetMusic]

This is THE track that cemented my dream to become a producer! And it still inspires me years later

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

Good on you!

[@cjuradom]

Buena esa, maestro 😎

[@BasedZeroX]

I never understood why Jack had a pacifier in his mouth when I first watched this episode back when I was young. Everything makes sense now...

[@davidsoael615]

So much this.

[@djibbdjinn1498]

I still dont. Please explain it.

[@doomsdaydorito]

A lot of ravers take drugs like MDMA and speed, where side effects include bruxism a.k.a teeth grinding/jaw clenching. Pacifiers give them something soft to chew on, thus protecting their gums and teeth. Although these days it seems ravers prefer chewing gum or laffy taffy.

[@djibbdjinn1498]

I see. Thank you.

Why can I not find a soundtrack for this glorious show. Samurai Jack had an amazing score.

[@henryscott370]

Because why not.

[@RedditResearcher1]

Not as good but still really good if your willing to give it a listen is the soundtrack the the anime Sirius the Jaeger, anime is meh but soundtrack is fire. imagine steampunk neo vampire club/ rave music

+SwiftyFlyer 2374 it's on adult swim so yea

[@jorgedardon5574]

this is the best acid track ever, better than professional artists

[@phillipvallance2197]

of course its better... becouse an actual musician aka producer made it that makes real music like live music and soundtracks... :D Imagine for example if one great jazz musician would make an acid techno track, it would be as good as that one, maybe even better :D the thing is just that he certanly wont make one, since he has real music to listen to and better things to do with his music in his life...and than there are exceptions like this when a musician like that receives a request from a director of tv series that he must now make one techno track becouse of this episode.. and than gold shit like that comes out :D i hope u understood what I tried to say, no hard feelings

[@Shopov123]

[@Kwipper]

My favorite part in this song is around 3:00 mark in the song. Ooooooooh! That nasty sounding distorted kick. I love it!

[@harrisencarney3462]

Wow this brings back memories… this music is beautiful

[@puffythedestroyer8878]

0:00 through 0:11 you can hear the evil low pitch "wahwah" that comes into play whenever Aku is on screen. Subtle

Hopefully you mean aku

+Rorschach oh shit. that's what i meant. i typed in my phone, it must have been that god damned spellcheck. i hate that thing so much

[@deadtreedefender]

Also what do you mean by the wah wah?

[@kgbcanine9930]

Jello Cinnaminon I will agree that there is some good new stuff. Like The Regular Show was great and Gumball wasnt bad. But most of the new cartoons are pretty bad. They dont put any heart into them, and just make it "LoL so RanDoM" as much as they can.

[@morganarledge6863]

I think the cartoons on Disney jr are better than what is on Cartoon Network now days and since they have gotten ride of Pokémon I barely watch there cartoons unless something like Steven universe or some of the cooler ones like that come on and adult swim is doing a great job with its animation I prob won't be watching cartoon network again till the new total drama season that was announced recently
