Jazz Jackrabbit 2 - Dark Groove

[@AnkokunoTsubasa]

This is my favourite track in the game. It sounds so haunting and outwordly and gives the level an awesome creepy feel the other levels (not that I don't like them- they're awesome) do not have. I wish Rabbit Roast was longer and harder than it was..with this music and its surreal and creepy aestethics I really felt it was an underused level.

[@chocolatechefbandit]

Ahhh, I could get down to this stuff. Alexander Brandon is one hell of a talented composer. I've got my old JJ2 cd sitting right next to me from like 10 years ago. Screw it. I give in. I'm going to reinstall it and play the hell out of this thing again for old time's sake!

[@AssumptionEmpty]

I concur about Deus Ex. I can totally hear this in place of "NYC Streets" or "DuClare Chateau" for example. =)

[@FloosWorld_AoE]

Has also an Unreal vibe with "Dusk Horizon" in the intro

[@Wolfenstein007]

what a melancholy, this song reminds me of the good old days, i think back to my old house and this is what takes me there. epic for its time, epic now. i remember getting this game for my birthday, probably the best ive had yet :) downloaded it for my macbook and beat it on hard pretty fast, still got the hang of it haha. we need more music like this! May jazz live forever!

[@SigmaRho2922]

The 2010 Doom II WAD Epic 2 uses this track on MAP19; it would be later used on MAP06 in the 2019 WAD Nova III.

[@Budjha]

Amazing music, same goes for Donkey Kong Country. Both, this game's and Donkey Kong Country's music is just so amazing. :)

[@ImJCyo]

This makes sense because it's Alexander Brandon. You can notice the significant throws to this song in Deus Ex when you go back to New York under martial law.

[@Lexa-106]

This is just too good

[@lyrimetacurl0]

Looks like a side effect of the Commentpocalypse of circa 2013 is that everyone's comments are jumbled up so can't tell who's replying to who.

[@RygorMortys]

Alexander Brandon did compose for the original Deus Ex, but Human Revolution was written by Michael McCann.

[@Kycklinglord]

I got to agree that 2:05 is the best part of this song. That and 2:45. Really nostalgic, i took this game to the school computer when i was like... 7-9 years old. Man, i miss those times.

[@simplethunder]

Oh! The memories! How soundtracks make or break a game is amazing.

[@WRILLI4M]

This one sounds like a mix of the original and the previous version, which is already nice, with some welcome improvements, making it even better. Very cool, pal!

[@Goteking]

Yep...truly this game was, and still the greatest EPICMEGAGAME ever made! When i was younger i played mutch with this game...i first meet jj2 than jj1 both are cool and great game.

[@TheBalanceable]

I got the game some time ago :). One of the best games of the good old times from my childhood.

[@riveteye93]

damn, this brings back some memories

[@mikesfx]

I agree. For a minute there I thought I was listening to a secret Deus Ex track. It made me think someone should make a mod for original Deus Ex with modern day issues. It could be almost like a malkavian mod -- I envisioned this one scene where a TSA agent confronts JC and the conversation between them could meander but ultimately end with a dramatic camera angle and JC saying (flatly as usual) "Don't touch my junk."

[@Meibu1]

This song reminds me of driving in a car and it's late afternoon. The road is empty and to your left you can only see desert and to your right, there is even more desert. And while you are driving you can see the sunset slowly passing by the mountain range.

[@Hamsteere]

Since I don't have a newgrounds account to tell you this (well I do...but I forgot the password, ANYWAY) you did an awesome job on the remix, really made my day. :D

[@LemSportsinterviews]

This reminds me of the Unreal soundtrack for some reason. Love this game to bits

[@WRILLI4M]

Man, this is quite an awesome remix! Downloading right now!

[@rubrown1397]

Uhhh it's not a remix, what are you on about?

[@Kycklinglord]

Downloading this immediately. Great job!

[@irishrose86]

This song is almost bringing me to tears, but, I love it. I wish I'd played this game. I know nothing about it and was linked by a stranger to this. It's purely amazing.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Even 11 years later, it's never too late.

[@RATMfan92]

Incredible composition, especially for game music.

[@Harshalcv11]

@Aelkamal Same guy who basically did Deux Ex, Jazz Jackrabbit and Unreal, Unreal Tournament. Alexandor Brandon is the boss!!

[@abm2371]

@Kycklinglord The underwater level was the beach level music, I think it was "Beach Bunny!". :P

[@baz0k]

@Aelkamal Yep, Alex Brandon is awesome composer!

[@vitalodion]

I think we all miss it very mutch :)

[@n20osboy]

@maddythewitch plays during Rabbit Roast level (one of the last three levels). the one with skeletons, dogs and crows.

[@PALGAMER630]

@maddythewitch this music plays when you meet the crows and everything is hell looking, not the last level of the game...

[@Arvalorn]

well...I found this song most sad from JJ2 OST...it's like... you've come this far, Jazz...but throw away your hope, you're too late, nothing can help you avoid your dark fate...look, everything around you is so rotten, so dark and unfamiliar...you're alone against your destiny...you can't win, run...run...run as fast as you can, even if your feet tremble in fear, your hope is gone...poor you... maybe it's only my imagination but I feel so sad every time I played this level...

[@Olmar95]

@MrGameroyadvance Nope, this is from the level with the crows, find the song "A cold day in heck" that's the freezing hell level.

[@WRILLI4M]

Particularly, I'd like to hear the latest revision. Improvements are always welcome.

[@TheSwordsman]

@maddythewitch it was the level after Cold Hell

[@xm07]

@Verd1m5 this one is ScreamTracker3 (*.s3m).

[@Arti9m]

wow!! awesome!

[@Paraboxify]

@Aelkamal Same composer as who did other games by Epic from that time, such as Unreal and Unreal Tournament.

[@MrGameroyadvance]

@maddythewitch this is from the freezing hell levels

[@Duke260396]

A bit DARK song, but pretty good. Also it goes well with the level.

[@buckovens6706]

i dont hear anything dark in this, just cool melancholic song

[@Mintor94]

You're right.

[@Rutgerman95]

@Kycklinglord It's Rabbit Roast (after the devil in the snow boss)

[@PedroRojasAldea]

is normal because it's the same composer

[@Kycklinglord]

Well, it's a good thing that it's not only like 1.30 long, then it would be too repetitive. Really cool soundtrack though, one of my favourites.

[@TheLongHallway]

Well that's cause the music is from the same guy

[@kafeiii]

does this play during the underwater level or the one with the crows? I can't seem to remember...

[@weedman588]

epic

[@StillTheVoid]

what kind of music files does this game use? umx?

[@Wasmachineman]

Mission Eight and Begin The End FTW :)

[@SigmaRho2922]

Epic 2 map 19; nova 3 map 06.

[@Kycklinglord]

@maddythewitch The crows i think. Not 100% tough.

[@City-Hunter]

WOAW it's really like the Deus Ex soundtrack, but Better!

[@FRI3DBUTT3R]

its the same composer, Alexander Brandon did both Deus Ex and Human Revolution
