Need for Speed II Soundtrack - Gore

Saki, your songs will live forever. A huge loss for all :(

[@deadpoolvega]

agree he will be forever in my life

[@Weewokk]

I don't know if he realised how much of an impact his work had on an entire generation of people. I hope he had some idea. He'll live on forever in his music.

Who is saki ?

3:04 - 3:25 is so powerful and driving while keeping an insane flow. Easily one of my favorite parts of video game music history.

[@BIG_WAVE_RACING]

I have probably listened to that section 100s of times over. Its such a perfect riff

[@theREAL9er]

nothing else like it, actually the NFS SE Intro song is basically Gore imo, check it out!

[@Fmidas]

dont forget 2:41 to 3:25 .. and whatever 0:00 to 4:40 is awesome

[@koerel]

@@Fmidas Yeah I especially like the 0:00 to 4:40 part!

[@cdxs-pf7ju]

Without a doubt, one of the best songs in the game. When talents like Alistair Hirst, Jay Weinland, Jeff van Dyck, Robert Ridihalgh, Rom di Prisco, and Saki Kaskas come together, the soundtrack's a guaranteed mindblowing and out of this world experience :-D

[@todeswalzer123]

I've been listening this song for a long time, more than 15years. And still amazes me the quality of the composition and production. It's like the perfect blend of the metal of that era, Rammstein like music (check the song Spiel Mit Mir), and other styles combined to a functional racing composition. This is the true beauty of this song, how the composer arranged every element into a masterpiece.

[@lucasgraeff5391]

Metal+Industrial+techno+EDM+Trance, it's crazy

[@diablow1411]

Rest in peace, Saki Kaskas! I so remember I commented on your guitar lesson and you even replied back! Just a few months prior to your untimely demise. Keep riffing on, man - you were a gem within VGM scene.

I've still got this game, disc in mint condition, totally unscratched. It's a first pressing from 1997.

[@thewolfthi]

sadly thats not the case for me, got the cd for the original version, almost unreadable because of shitty conditioning, we just tossed that s*** around :P

[@falchion777]

you guys know how I can play it on windows 10?

[@diablow1411]

I remember my dad borrowing its disc from a neighbor to install it back in '00. Funnier part is that it was a cracked version of the game - games were even pirated back then in the physical copy forms, mostly Compact Disks. Good ol' days I suppose lol

[@Luke17d]

This track is simply awesome. I love how when you drive it automatically plays with the background. For example, if you are in first place, the whole star wars theme matches to the music. It like they know what section you will be at when the music is playing (assuming you don't become last place, then it goes out of place with the music)

[@catm4403]

DISCLAIMER: Do not listen to this while driving your sports car.

I used to race NFS split screen with my brother for years when we were kids. As this was the final track in a knockout or tournament, when this song was playing, he used to hate when it got to 3:40 and I was winning, because I would pretend to be the guy laughing as I'm downshifting my McLaren F1 heading for the finish line...

[@theREAL9er]

On a solitary road, at midnight, you drive a supersport car, but suddenly, another supersport car appears, but its headlights are of color red and this comes to you. The radio change the station ifself and you hear a word: "run" and suddenly starts this song. Then, more cars and truck appears suddenly and the road is more and more dark; you only option, run and reach the goal, before the other car. Well, is what I imagine to hear this great song! ^-^ See you later!

[@Asc9311]

Саму трассу помню не очень хорошо. Когда мне было 6 лет, я никогда не доходил до нее, так как Непал был для меня абсолютно непроходим, даже на маневренном Италдезайне. А вот когда мне было 9 лет, мне иногда удавалось доходить до него, но решающую гонку я всегда проигрывал, это удалось сделать только после 5+ неудачных попыток. И радости тогда моей не было предела моей. До сих пор помню свой приз - Форд Индиго с шинами Goodyear, и открытым кузовом.
