LYRICS: ------------------------- "Mama, Papa Brickolini" vocals and composition by Monica Pasqual Mama, Papa Brickolini Will not cook you no linguine Don't you know we specialize In one thing, that's the pizza pie If you think the family's ready For a plate of good spaghetti Sorry if it makes you cry But all we've got is pizza pie There's nothing wrong with enchiladas Some people like pickles and hot dogs But you never get to try them When you live on LEGO Island Mama, Papa Brickolini Always say you look so skinny Won't you try the pepperoni Makes you nice and roly-poly Some people like lots of bagels Others want chow mein at the table But you never get to try them When you live on LEGO Island Mama, Papa Brickolini Go to bed and wake still dreaming All about the reasons why The world could live on pizza pie Really, there's no reason why The world shouldn't live on pizza pie ------------------------- "Brick by Brick" vocals: Kathleen Enright piano: Henry Salvia guitar: Garth Webber You can build a buggy, drive a big tow truck You can paint a jet ski yellow like a duck Master of the trannieverse, there ain't no trick You just gotta do it brick by brick! Brick by brick, tock by tick No matter how thin, no matter how thick Papa told Mama, and Laura told Nick You can move a mountain if you do it brick by brick! Faster than a skateboard, bigger than a bike Louder than a DJ scratching all night Pedal to the metal, heck’a LEGO squeal You're in the driver's seat when you're behind the wheel! Brick by brick, tock by tick No matter how thin, no matter how thick Papa told Mama, and Laura told Nick You can move a mountain if you do it brick by brick! Are you game, boy? It's a riot, girl! Click on the stick, let's go for a whirl You're gonna cruise the Island, there's somethin' you should know When you block the road, you're gonna get towed! Brick by brick, tock by tick No matter how thin, no matter how thick Papa told Mama, and Laura told Nick You can build a mountain if you do it brick by brick! I built a cool machine, red, yellow, and black There ain't no doodad this device lacks All around the island, we're goin’ round the bend Break it down, baby, brick it up again! Brick by brick, tock by tick No matter how thin, no matter how thick Papa told Mama, and Laura told Nick You can move a mountain, you can move a mountain, You can move a mountain if you do it brick by brick! ------------------------- "The Brickster" (aka "Your Bricks Are Toast") vocals/guitar: Bob Conlon guitar: Chris Carroll, bass guitar: Steve Faine Drums: Chris Stark He wakes up and breaks up the scene Some Legos, they think that he's keen But Pepper, he knows If the Brickster catches you Your bricks are toast Who's gonna make up his mind To break all your bricks all the time The Brickster, you see Is tearin' up this world For you and me The Brickster will break All that you make And Pepper will fight all those fiends For you and me Your power he's taken away Without it you don't get to play He's brickless, I know If he catches up with you Your bricks are toast The Brickster will break All that you make And Pepper will fight all those fiends For you and me The Brickster, you see Is tearing up this world For you and me And Pepper, he knows If the Brickster catches you Your bricks are toast ------------------------- "Think I'm Gonna Build Me a Bridge Today" vocals and composition by Annie Wallis I Think I'm gonna build a bridge today I think I'm gonna build it in a brand new way I'll build a line of toll booths To smile and wave you on your way And nobody has to pay I think I'll build that bridge today I think I'm gonna to build a ski today Take all my favourite people on a spree today We'll jet around the island And watch the sun set on the bay And look for the Milky Way I think I'll build that ski today I think I'll build a beach house or a bungalow A cabin in the mountains for my uncle Joe A little red convertible to cruise around You know the Lego Island is my kinda town! Thinking maybe for a lark today I'll build me a gazebo in the park today I'll stop and smell the roses Until the band begins to play We'll make it a holiday I think I'll build it all today Well I might build a castle with a catacomb And when I'm done with that, well maybe, I'll build Rome! Starting with a bridge! To-day! Good play!

Can we has a download link for the actual game, without needing the CD?

I work at LEGOLAND in Florida, and just this afternoon I heard this one being played at the waterpark, and it hit me so hard. I immediately knew it was from LEGO Island, I had to look up the soundtrack to listen to it on my own time. 😅

[@JohnPaluska]

One thing I really loved about this game was that it actually made fun of its shortcomings and imperfections. Like the Briccolini ad on LEGO Radio (where else you gonna eat?)

[@canigetaliterofcola]

As a child, I would go to the “observation deck” song and just vibe out to that intro. Don’t know why that melody stuck with me 20 years later but it did.

[@StereoSoundAgent]

So thankful for my parents letting me play this. My whole world was Legos ages 0 - 12 and I greatly attribute any imaginative success, creativity, natural inclination toward physics problems or any other critical cognitive thinking to playing with Legos as a kid throughout the entire 1990s. Parents, let your kids do the same. The world needs more imagination, a major shout out to Wes Jenkin's and the fun, imagination, and creativity he integrated into the Lego world of kids' imaginations through this game in the 1990s. We're lucky to have had it!

This takes me back to when my brother and I were kids and we would be on the computer playing this all day long. Nostalgia overload!!!

[@Syobnaf]

What a collection of bangers, being a big LEGO media fan, why did I never listen to this before now?

[@apolonioromero4951]

I used to think it was disappointing how the entire soundtrack was heavily compressed and only presented in mono. I believed that all music needs to be in high resolution in order for it to good enough for me. I then realized that the low fidelity audio this game has it actually quite special to me. It gives it character, personality, and reminds of how the 1990s were. I think that is reason why the music genre, Vaporwave, was created.

[@Ringtail]

I still would've liked a soundtrack release of this or something to preserve higher quality versions of anything besides the Torpedoes and Polkacide tracks. Never happened with any Lego games and too late for a good chunk of the music from this game now, so whatever. This is the authentic 1997 experience I guess.

[@Ringtail]

i didnt see this comment because youtube flagged it as spam? how the fuck do i get it to stop doing that I used a tool called lierip to rip the contents of jukebox.si and world.wb to get the raw audio files. they're on rock raiders united, though the state of the lego island tools is kinda messy and unorganized compared to other game tools.

[@RyDawg96]

Reason why they had to use so much compression is due to the amount of audio the game had. Red book audio can only handle up to 80 minutes, which is almost as long as this entire video. Not only did they have to include the music, but also the game data as well as the voice acting which is actually longer than the games music. Also, red book audio would have not worked well with the games over world, as the constantly changing tracks would have resulted in long pauses without the amount of compression used. Would be nice though if Lego Island did get a remaster or remake with full stereo CD quality sound since modern audio formats in games can handle beyond that.

[@n0tchmc]

@@RyDawg96 According to the composer of the music, the original master tapes of all the music were lost in a house boat accident. However, an archive of these songs were found on old cassette tapes and are being put up again. Here's a link to the website that is currently putting up the music. Link: projectisland.org/music/ Some of the music may be incomplete or in bad quality, but it's still far better than the compressed files on the orginal CD. There are also still some songs missing or have not been put up yet, but I heard they will be putting more up very soon!

[@markcharron]

Heck, the Observation Deck track basically is vaporwave.

The Radio Version of Lucky You is *severely* underrated. It’s up there as one of my favorite music tracks in the LEGO Island soundtrack. My absolute favorites are The Information Center, Information Center Top, and the Hospital theme.

[@LeMeccerino]

You know the cassette version was posted not too long ago? Here's the link: projectisland.org/music/

[@Ringtail]

Updated 2017-10-31, Lorin Nelson uploaded the Brickster chase music on their channel and revealed someone named Kevin Bushman played guitar on that. Also Ralph Peduto's name was misspelled in the credits, and I was never able to find info on him as a result - I changed it to the correct spelling for this.

[@dougwastaken]

Don't tell the folks at ProjectBrick, but I prefer that MP3 compressed sound 🤫

[@Ringtail]

it's not mp3 compressed, the game's music is all wav files but all at at a low sample rate of 11025 Hz (and a few randomly at 22050 Hz). While the download does use some of those higher quality versions as the primary files I also included the game versions for all of them (at least I think I did, if I forgot some then sorry, I'll try to fix it - I need to update it anyway).

Masterfully crafted package! Thank you sir!

[@mikeywise3411]

can we all agree that polkacide didnt need to go that hard on loser’s waltz but that its good that they did? it sounds more like a mobster theme than a lego song!!

[@Ringtail]

The Polkacide music wasn't made for this game, it was licensed from one of their albums. Same with the Torpedoes music, except for Lucky You which uses a prototype version. Even if it was original, I don't understand why I keep seeing people saying that video game musicians "didn't need to go that hard". That's what they were hired to do, some may go more over the top than others but usually they're probably not going to half ass it (unless they weren't getting payed enough to care, or didn't know what they were doing).

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

Some of these songs sound like stock music from the 1980s.

[@Sauspreme]

The soundtrack is all I can remember from this game (And pretty much exclusively the "information kiosk" track.) Mostly because every time I booted this game as a lad, 90% of the textures were transparent.

[@ZebulanGaming]

Is the “Unused Jail Theme” really unused? It just sounds like the uncompressed version of “The Jail” to me. I think it would make more sense to just label it “The Jail” and remove the compressed version from the download.

[@Ringtail]

Hmm it doesn't sound quite the same as the compressed version when I apply the same effects to it, some of the horn instruments are a lot louder and the main melody instrument at the start has a different tone emphasis of some sort. But it is very similar otherwise. Maybe changing "unused" to "HQ ver" or "Unmastered ver" would work better?

[@ZebulanGaming]

Yeah, “HQ ver” would probably be better.

[@barrysteakfriessimp_real]

yeah, its unused. not sure why though as theyre almost exactly the same...

[@Ringtail]

the audio in cutscenes all have music and voice and sound baked together into one file. I only have the good/bad ending ones because Polkacide sent me them. I don't know if the music in the character videos is original or stock music since it's uncredited, if the latter it might be out there somewhere.

[@TufteMotorsport]

I never played this, because it was almost imposible to find here in Norway. But, is it me or is the feel really different from LI2?

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

The feel is quite different indeed. Though the sequel was made by Silicon Dreams instead of Mindscape, who used a different more modern style pop music soundtrack that was pretty distinct to the company behind the game.

[@TufteMotorsport]

Thanks for the info :)

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

Silicon Dreams also had a hand in other Lego games from 2001 and 2002. They made Soccer Mania, they also worked in part with Attention to Detail on Lego Racers 2 and I think they also made Island Xtreme Stunts, even though the soundtrack in that game tried to feel more like the original but with early 00s style rock, pop and instrumental music, instead of a mixture of 80s and 90s synth pop, rock and classic themed songs. Also that pop song: Royal is a rip-off of one of Island Xtreme Stunts songs, but obviously that was just a coincidence!

[@Ringtail]

Do you know if the game was translated into Norwegian?

[@LorinTone]

In my personal opinion, yes very different. Completely different people on the two projects.

[@dontaskiwasbored2008]

Observation deck does not sound like I remember it. Like it sounds broken. The timing is off or something.

[@Ringtail]

[@BenODrowned]

I remember there used to be a download to the full soundtrack to Lego Rock Raiders both PC and PS1 versions years ago but I can't seem to find it anywhere, any idea where it could still be floating about?

[@Ringtail]

if that was my upload, I haven't reuploded it on this channel yet solely because I'm not sure who to credit for the music after I contacted Stewart Green (founder of DDI) about some LRR stuff and he told me some uncredited person composed the PS1 music. I guess I can throw it up again soon since he didnt know so it's unlikely I'll find out.

Anyone know if this plays on win 10

[@MoistSquirrel38]

I think so

[@barrysteakfriessimp_real]

it does! although youll have to do a bit of work to get it running properly, as just launching the executable wont work. you need to check that the combatibility properties of the executables are at windows xp service pack 2 or lower, and then copy the files from the script folder in the cd directory into the installation directory's script folder located in the lego island folder in "program files x86". then i think you need to open the config executable and set the colour settings to RGB otherwise the textures will be fucked up. this is just what i remember from the rockraiders forum, so i might have gotten some details wrong. but you should look on there yourself because its very useful.

@@maximillionboi I'm used to old crunchy 90s games since even in the 00s that was a lot of what I had, but this game's audio is still pretty ridiculously crunched, I guess both because there's so much of it and because computers in 97 might've had a hard time handling CD quality audio maybe. The lead musician for this game (Lorin Nelson/Tone/Swelk) has been uploading some master tapes he found at least, though some are a little degraded, and some of them are early recordings since he lost some masters when his houseboat sank.

[@barrysteakfriessimp_real]

yeah, it is a bit. probably becahse of the graphics and the fact that its an old 90s game, so its more surreal and strange looking. it still has a lot of charm, though
