Wretched Machinery - a NieR mashup/remix

[@SonorianBnS]

i really like the visual breakdown of the mix

[@PaszerDye]

A breakdown of a mashup of TWO songs!

[@Joey.Zevnik]

Yes, more of this please 🙏🏼

[@Lucerious92]

POV you’re a cute little machine taking an existential stroll around an old commercial district when you hear this certified banger crackling through some ancient speakers

[@pancakedan7883]

Then outta nowhere comes a robot with creator issues and her simp to kick your gears in

5:22 wretched automatons singing aaaaaaaa and wretched weaponry singing iiiiiiiiiiiiii is perfect

[@anony_moss]

THE VOCALS IN 4:16 IS SO BANGER SMART WTF THE WAY IT SOUNDS LIKE WRETCHED AUTOMATON AND WRETCHED WEAPONRY ARE IN A CONVERSATION WITH EACH OTHER, THEN WHEN THEY GRADUALLY RESUME LAYERING AND HARMONIZING AT AROUND 4:32 IS JUST 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@happysmilesworldandgames8755]

*wretched weaponry

[@anony_moss]

ah! thank you !

[@santiagovelasco1553]

Missed opportunity to call this mashup wretched wretched

[@EyehatePersona5]

Awesome. I always loved how wretched machinery was a sequel to wretched automaton and now you combined both. Amazing remix

[@maltron66]

Excellent mashup! The perfect blend of old and new! Also, for those of you who didn't know: in "The Fire Of Prometheus" novella, it is revealed that P-33 (or Beepy, as Kalil affectionately called him) is the one that caused the Machines to gain consciousness! An obscure fun fact I felt I had to mention since the thumbnail shows P-33 and a stubby and most people don't know they're actually connected!

[@TokenOracle]

The best part was that this story started in a set of novella's in the Drakengard 10th anniversery collection for Drakengard 3. So a critical emotional connection between Nier and Nier Automata, the thing that helps make the plot what it is with machines being sentient, was originally found in a set of stories in a collector's edition for a completely different universe.

[@JonathanBarouch]

I didn't know this! Thank you

[@Fami_Salami]

@@TokenOracle not a different universe though...

[@HaruNovem51]

No way, i didn´t know that

[@knitterknerd]

@@Fami_Salami Isn't it a different universe in the same multiverse?

[@loucollazo9584]

Both of these songs are my favorites in their respective games. This is fantastic, thank you.

[@-aaa-aaa]

I don't know how you can say this so confidently, I have a hard time picking even a top 3 in either game, let alone my most favorite (but the organ part in shadowlord's castle is quite high, and I love the synth in end of the unknown)

[@brianl7321]

This is so good. You need to make a whole album of Nier mashups and remixes.

[@elena8953]

THIS IS SOOO GOOOODD WHAA5T? AND THE VISUALIZATION IS SO BRILLIANT I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE

[@otakuman642]

I've seen many people trying to mix NieR OST and sadly failing as these tracks are so good by them self, that it's quite hard to not take away their individual charm but you good sir are creating greatness. Ever since Fleeting Shadows I am genuinely hoping for another mashup as you understand the song and make them feel more like a duette instead of just putting two tracks into one

[@DarthCasus]

I kid you not, I really wanted to put these together as well, but I'm so glad that you did. Amazing work as always Jonathan, you are a gem.

[@SonicKing84]

I just finished Automata last week, and Replicant a few months ago. My god this is the greatest mashterpiece I've heard of Nier music!

[@ihavestormtrooperaim]

I’m like seven months late to this party, but I really hope you didn’t give up this whole KZbin thing, man I love all the videos you’ve put out

[@AmaiarAiramand]

When I read "mashup/remix" I wasn't sure what to expect. But it surely wasn't this beautiful masterpiece

[@JonathanBarouch]

I'm not thrilled with the title myself, so let me know if you can think of a better thing to call whatever this is

[@AmaiarAiramand]

I think the issue is that the term mashup is technically correct, but it has become more recognized of it being multiple (as in, more than two) songs chained together, and the term remix is also correct but nowadays understood as something more transformative... If I had to give it a name, I'd say this is more of a "duet/blend", the first one having some interesting implications since the vocals play a major role here. But this is something I just came up with on the spot, and I wouldn't pretend to make your job better than yourself. Naming things is one of my Aquiles' Heel after all Edit: I just had a fleeting idea. Would it be correct to call it an "orchestration" as well? Food for thought...

[@JonathanBarouch]

@@AmaiarAiramand thank you for such a detailed and careful explanation!

[@Gabrielnfs]

Emi Evans' performance on Nier's tracks always makes me emotional, I love these games and I love these soundtracks and I appreciate the work of everyone involved in it, just amazing video games and art pieces. Now I also have you to thank for the amazing mashup. Thank you Jonathan!

[@nickkoutakis3192]

love it how the two songs reach that glow-up moment xD

[@johnmygig]

Never clicked on a video so quickly. NieR upload by Jonathan? Happy Wednesday indeed (cries)

[@morgonfr33m4n1337z]

This mashup perfectly showcases how this Automata song is a "sequel" to a corresponding Replicant song Hopefully more mashups can be made to visualize just how similar the songs between the two games are

[@zaheela]

This is such a soothing remix... and yet I cannot say it's not striking me with a feeling of bittersweet melancholy... (Which is a good thing)

[@mathephilia]

I've listened to Fleeting Shadows around a couple hundred times by now, already. Thanks for gracing us with another phenomenal NieR mashup out of the blue. Please keep making these, they're truly special. ♥

[@danielarturomedinapinto6910]

Definitivamente escucho esta mezcla cuando hago cosas cotidianas, me encanta como tan bien hecha // I definitely listen to this mix when I'm doing everyday stuff, I love how well done it is.

Awesome wretched melody

[@distinctvantage3289]

[@Adam-TheLiftedKing]

You still doing a video on wretched weaponry id honestly love that cause this song is kind of pivotal

[@cyber_plays3721]

Brilliant, my jaw is on the floor. Amazing work!

[@griffiththechad9483]

I’m surprised only one other channel has done this mashup between Wretched Automatons and Wretched Weaponry. Of course none compare to this masterpiece you’ve managed to cook up once again. Amazing work as always🙏🙏🙏

[@Lillymu961]

This is fantastic! Keep up the great work, Jonathan! Love the visual aide for the mix too. Very well done! God bless you!!!

[@alvarogonzalez1400]

I need more of this nier mashups please ❤❤❤

[@DEDManGamingWins]

You SERIOUSLY have a talent for these mashups dude holy crap!!!😮

[@BananaramaArt]

Very nice and interesting mashup! It sometimes feels like there are parts that oppose each other or rival to be the main part, which for me causes some tension. But not necessarily in a negative way. I can't really describe it haha. But I think it does make my favorite part feel all the more satisfying and surprising, as at around 4:43 they suddenly work together and harmonize as one ^^ Also I'm excited to hear a new video essay is coming up, hopefully about one of these/another NieR track (But I'm not gonna be disappointed if not)

These are so good! Awesome job! Need more nier and nier automata music mash-up!

[@lemastree]

I always love when a mashup has a careful artistic direction put in it

[@willful759]

I love this so much, I played automata before the replicant remake, and going through the junk heap felt like seeing the start of what would become automata, and wretched automatons felt like a song that would fit perfectly in automata, it probably served as inspiration for the soundtrack as a whole, love to hear these two songs as a single piece

[@Kiamle]

Im going to have to ask for that platinum Fallen Elmaik with a huge pepe and incrusted diamonds back, the one I awarded you for outstanding achievement in the field of musical excellence last year. That award seems insufficient due to the sheer magnificence of this masterpiece. I shall have more jewels and precious metals added, forgive me.

[@knuckleheadtori]
