Journey to Silius (NES) Soundtrack - 8BitStereo

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

The 8BtStereo revamp continues strong with one of the best platformers and soundtracks ever done by the Sunsoft team, its Journey to Silius! A soundtrack that is synonymous with many Sunsoft releases that makes use of the infamous "Sunsoft Bass". Just fantastic quality compositions that really shows the Sound Team is getting the absolutely most out of this soundchip, every Stage theme having such a powerful melody and drive, from the banger "Title Screen", the energetic "Stage 1", the melodically beautiful "Stage 2", the never give up vibe of "Stage 3" and the powerful determination of "Stage 4". With "Stage 2: Underground Concourse" become a favorite over the years, also from its incredible 3 minute length before properly looping, becoming a nearly 7 minute track, very rare for an NES soundtrack. Every track is worthwhile and is no wonder it is an example of high quality piece of 8Bit music. This game is also actually Developed by a division of Sunsoft called the "Tokyo Design Center", Tokai Engineering technically counts as a Publisher in Japan so they could put out more games then regulated, a smart move as it helped in giving us more great games from this company! This would actually be the first release that featured the sampling bass in these pitches that would then be used on future Sunsoft titles. While the Sound Driver is based on the first iteration by Akito Takeuchi, this is when Naohisa Morota was credited for his involvement implementing the Bass samples which was from an AKAI S700 Nobuyuki Hara had, and Morota and Hara worked on optimizing the sound source and data size so they could get the most out of the sound without compromising other parts of development of games Sunsoft was working on. Shinichi Seya also helped upgrading the Sound Driver, so technically Sound Driver credit from here on out would be given to "Shinichi Seya & Naohisa Morota". Also for the longest time Manabu Sakota was simply under the alias "Mabochan" until recently discovered the full name, and it is assumed Sakota contributed compositions alongside Kodaka for this OST, always fun learning more about a great soundtrack and the legacy of Sunsoft! :) Thanks to the wonderful division at Tokyo Design Center, we got a game that remained fairly obscure in the NES lifeline, until finally being noticed and praised for its many achievements! Stellar graphics, tight and fun gameplay, and of course, the music. Please, if you have not played this game do so, you will not regret it! :)

[@Theranthrope]

Trivia: Journey to Silius was originally meant to be a licensed Terminator game like Sunsoft Batman but negations for the Terminator license broke down and Sunsoft released the game anyway with minor cosmetic changes.

[@jacknedry3925]

Didn’t you already do the “Journey To Silius” OST?

[@Chadius]

@@Theranthrope Hence why the evil Terrorists are still using killer robots. This is definitely supposed to be about Kyle Reese's war against Skynet in the future of... 2029? Uhoh

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

@@Theranthrope True! Was gonna include that in the pin comment but so many people are aware of that fact usually when looking up this game, so I kept it exclusive to the music like the Sunsoft Bass (and general samples they used) being implemented by Naohisa Morota and the before unknown alias to "Mabochan" :)

[@elvisrobotbeta3299]

I like the data. Now I know who is really Mabochan!!

[@childofcascadia]

I have a rule. My phone ringtones are all 8-16 bit tracks from my youth, and I switch them every so often. In heavy rotation is selections from FF, FFIV, FFVI, Crystalis, the Castlevanias, Phantasy Star 4, Blaster Master. I had forgotten about Journey to Silius until I stumbled across this Def adding a few of these songs. This hands down is some of the best music ever made on the NES.

[@RedSpade37]

I honestly think this game is better than Terminator. The fact that it has been "opaqued" makes it more special and more mysterious.

I was so happy when they added it to the Switch NES catalog for Nintendo online.

[@vinnievincent85]

Silius is considered one of the best sounding nes games so I don't know how it is underapprecited. Trust me, I was gaming when Silius was realesed, and even back then people noticed the soundtrack, both for it's melodies and it's sound.

[@excrono]

@@GerginationI glad a community exits for even niche people such as myself.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

Naoki Kodaka clearly has a great talent for composing, and its even better he had such a talented sound team that knew the NES hardware and implemented it into one of the best sondfonts of the 8-Bit era.

[@Kajichuu]

"Underground Concourse" is what made me look up and actually play this amazing gem of a game. Smooth, to the point gameplay, decent minimal story, killer ost, yup the footrprint of our beloved sunsoft. 4 minute long song without looping! It conveys the sheer will power of our hero to avenge his father and overturn a corrupted leader willing to slow the progress of man for profit. Cheesy but we love that power struggle, fighting to uncover a truth or overturn injustice. A very power song, maybe its overrated to some but i always find myself listening to this to give myself some hope for the future, granted, if you too, fight for that future.

[@RichardCraig]

Not at all overrated, Underground Concourse is a genuinely brilliant song.

[@excrono]

@@RichardCraigIt’s underrated, the composers and Sunsoft made a bold statement by dropping a massive four minute song on a NES soundtrack, when the standard was barely over a minute for others on the platform. They took their gloves off and art seriously.

[@elvisrobotbeta3299]

Underground Concourse is still one of my favorite NES melodies💙

[@JCFrost]

The bass on this one is soooooo good

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

This was the first game that had the "Sunsoft Bass" implemented with these specific pitches (This video explains it best: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnbKoIyLr9yUmKssi=_uJ1oY7hvSvstgiv ) and it was standard until pretty much Gimmick, they certainly added a few more near the end ;D

[@QuellicheilMarza]

Love the new design, very professional

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

With 9 years since the original first iteration of the design, and 5 years with the slightly upgraded logo and background, this is definitely way more professional. Though, slightly amateur still (aside from the professionally done icon of me, lol), but that's what I like about it, its what you uniquely get from me, and it feels genuine whilst looking better! :D

[@excrono]

@@Nikos8BitStereo You’ve come a long way since the WiiGuy days my friend. Your video design (with gameplay which does not go unnoticed) is the most sophisticated I’ve seen yet for a VGM upload. Nothing amateur about it. The only thing I could suggest is featuring the title of the current track in sync with the audio.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

A company that damn well knew how to make the best out of that hardware, I'm glad to see they are back now, but I feel like they should have come back earlier around Mega Man 9 & 10 was releasing, and just stuck with making 8Bit sequels or even original games in the 8Bit style, personally they are probably the best developers of the NES console.

[@noaht2005]

I gotta say, this is a hell of a lot better than the music in the actual Terminator nes game

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

The Terminator one released by Mindscape was just an unfortunate victim of being one of Paul Wilkinson's first NES soundtracks, and I believe only had a few weeks to do Compositions, a talent he was not familiar with at all. Unironically though, I think its decent (if the songs were a bit longer and fleshed out it would have been perfect Moody music) and actually fits the mood of that first game. Terminator 2 on NES, now that's just a god damn amazing OST by Geoff Follin, that while doesn't fit the vibe of The Terminator, doesn't matter when the songs are just all killer no killer It would have been great through to have a killer Terminator 1 OST by Sunsoft, along with the killer Terminator 2 OST from a Follin.

[@DjShini]

Sunsoft killed it with NES soundtracks!

[@applescruff1969]

4:56 Just in case you didn't know this was supposed to be a terminator game, now you know.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

I'm glad Naoki Kodaka still decided to keep that reference to there original Terminator development, I wouldn't doubt they had rights to cover the whole original Terminator Theme, but at this point its great this game is its own original property for Sunsoft, otherwise it wouldn't be able to get re-released anywhere if it still had The Terminator license.

[@RockyBergen]

I think this is my favorite NES soundtrack...

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

I would consider this Top 20 NES Soundtrack material, I mean of all the Sunsoft soundtracks its tough to pull just one, but for me, this and Super Spy Hunter would be in the list.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

I am convinced that if this game had retained the Terminator license, we would have heard remixes of some of these themes in future Terminator films. Which would have almost made the movies after #2 justifiable.

[@solitaregames]

This gsme was one of the few if not the only one that pushed the NES to its limit, specially with its sound track. Compare it to any other NES game.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

This game is certainly a prime example of high quality on all fronts, I don't think enough credit is given to the huge boss sprites that take up large portions of the screen (though funny how the final boss is just a tall cyborg, lol). Though I credit Super Spy Hunter to be a title that pushed the limits of the NES even more by Sunsoft standards, true underrated game and OST.

But "Wings of Death" was released on home computers, originally the Atari ST and then ported to the Commodore Amiga. Music composed by Jochen Hippel. Here's a link to the original Atari ST version kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4atf4xoas-Vftk And here are two links to the Amiga version of the soundtrack: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJSrYmOemLefrtE kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJrTnGObnNijmbs I don't like the title theme quite as much, but beginning at the stage themes, it picks up and I get Journey to Silius vibes.

[@714acedeck]

i've always been a huge fan of this channel ever since i found it. i am not sure what tools you used to create either the old mixes or the newer ones. however, i just wanted to say, there will never be soundtracks like these ever again (and to an extent the SNES). there is a reason they all sound so distinctive. the sounds produced by the original hardware etched its way into human souls and created a genre we refer to now as "8 bit." if you are trying to purify that sound with some new hardware or software, i'm not sure i can agree about it.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

Thank you, for a little insight I still use the same tools/method like the old mixes, but I just fine tuned the craft even better to make these Revamped mixes. And yes it's quite true, because we will never be in an era where composers had to use such limited technology and programs, its great that we can still make music like the 8 & 16Bit eras, but its not the same being confined to the limitations of what you knew about the Hardware and Soundchips you were composing for. My go-to phrase for how the best Video Game Music stood out so well is: "Limitations Breathed Creativity", such as here, through the limitations of the NES, the Sunsoft sound team probably worked hours upon hours of fine tuning and trial and error working to maximize the sound and size capabilities of only Kilobytes they had while sharing that same size with graphics and programming to make an entire game on an NES cartridge. And sadly this effort was essentially a thankless job, it probably got praise within the industry and programmers and players that recognized the creativity, but the art of how this was done is often not discussed and brought up enough, Video Game Composers/Programmers forever have my respect for giving us the best knowing they probably will never get worldwide attention, but that's okay, for us who are lucky enough to experience this, I hope the people that made this Music possible know some people are elated and overcome with joy with what they created :')

[@Broth3rz]

Is there anyway to get the separate channels / tracks of Stage 2 and others? Like Just have the bass, lead, etc.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

Absolutely, if you check the description there is a download for the NSFe file of the soundtrack, which is essentially the Music in a file format that can be played back on certain programs, while I use Winamp + Notso Fatso plugin, I recommend getting Foobar with the Game Emu Player component, I provide both in this link which also has my current Collection/Archive of all NSFe's: mega.nz/file/wk0h3bQC#SyQtjmp5sE-WcWzd3Z4HeCQMg8IszzDQ3W5Lb1Tzo18 One you get Foobar installed its easy to then drop Game Emu Player into the "components" folder where Foobar is installed, then of course install it within Foobar from the Preferences and then in "View" you should see "GEP control" and should be able to "Enable playback override" which will allow you to pick which specific channels you want playing! Hope this helped and sorry response was late! :)

[@eyitsmattyyy616]

I originally thought Tim Follin composed this soundtrack

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

"Journey to Silius by Tim Follin" would be an insane parallel universe, though its not too far off to actually happen, just need someone to compose JTS in the style of the Follins, aka with the same instrumentation and sound design of Stephen Ruddy's sound driver.

[@feiwong3634]

The true Terninator game on the NES, not the shameful LJN abominations.

[@Nikos8BitStereo]

It would have been cool to be able to say "Sunsoft's Terminator". And at least the best thing from LJN having the rights specifically to Terminator 2: Judgement Day video game releases (as few different companies got rights for video games based on the first Terminator movie) is they chose Developers with stellar sound teams, Terminator 2 on NES by Geoff Follin remains one of my favorite NES soundtracks of all time.

[@jeffcats88]

I have to say, I much prefer your original mix. I've listened to both the new and old a fair amount and while I prefer the more clear and better sounding instruments in this mix, the old mix has WAY better stereo separation. I also like the reverb in the old mix, but I think I would dial it down because that seemed to be a big reason it sounds less clean. On my main monitors in my studio you actually get quite a nice sound stage on the old mix. In this one all the instruments are put near the middle. I think if you can achieve a mixture of both, using the clearer sounding instruments in this mix but achieve the stereo separation in the old one, you will have an amazing mix!

Probably due to the way things were separated and how the instruments of the sound channels came together, plus the general way the echo/reverb was, I get it sounding more "full" or beefy in that case. The original upload will always be there, but personally satisfied how these are :)

Why dose this game not have a sequel

[@ignacioleon4560]

It doesn't bc it tanked really, losing the Terminator license meant it couldn't ride the film's wave of promotion n popularity. Therefore it was left in obscurity without a campaign of advertising n way to promote it really. I was lucky enough to have played it a few times as a young child with my cousins and bc I have a good memory I remembered the game n with a little time searching n doing some research I found it. The game I remembered, but the title eluded me. I have it on my Retro Freak n Wii consoles, it is pretty hard too.

@@I-L0ve-sally-197 I'm with you there, would of liked to have seen further releases on later console generations. At least one for the SNES n maybe one for the og Game Boy.

If youre asking me, the new version is not bad but i miss the chrisp sounding highs of the old version.
