R4 Ridge Racer Type 4 (Full In-Game Soundtrack)

[@eksquisite]

how empty and focused your mind was as a kid, playing this videogame fully immersed without a single distraction, no internet/social media/ societal expectations, just you , a tv screen and joy

[@cakefacedemolish7400]

It's still really nice in 2023 :) If you know about electronic music producing a little, you should understand how awesome these artists have done 25 years ago. Analogue synthesizers, drum machines, hand played basslines, hardware samplers and vocal clips etc.

[@ClockedIt]

This is a moment where music and game design come together in perfect harmony. Absolutely stunning soundtrack and arguably one of the best videogame soundtracks ever.

[@konoya5566]

Agreed.

[@we-must-live]

another moment like this, if you’re so inclined… the Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere soundtrack - it’s not as highbeat as this, but damn if it doesn’t fit the game perfectly!

[@russellwhitney1887]

Top 3 PS1 Racing games 3. R4 Ridge Racer Type 4 2. R4 Ridge Racer Type 4 1. R4 Ridge Racer Type 4

[@SassyPaddy]

Russell Whitney You listed the same game.

[@russellwhitney1887]

SassPD22 No I didn't

[@SassyPaddy]

Russell Whitney Yeah? Well. What's so different about them?

[@russellwhitney1887]

SassPD22 All three are the best racing games on the PS1.

[@SassyPaddy]

But you listed 1 game 3 times. What about Crash Team Racing?

[@GrayFoxGamingHD]

Even after all this years you can still feel the warmth and sophistication of the sound.... a game way ahead of its time. :)

[@kaina5467]

PS1 had some games with outstanding music ! :O Check Einhander OST or Grandia OST ^^

[@kaina5467]

btw I didn't know about this game :O the music is so catchy! I love it! (8) PS1 music never sease to amaze me :) *dance dance* ^^ (8)

[@TheHelghast1138]

Gray Fox indeed!! =D

[@indigoxiv]

It's 2018 and I still feel the most wonderful nostalgia hearing this. Good old times: you only had to turn on the PS1 and play. No DLC, no profiles, no internet. Not that these things are bad, but I think they transformed gaming into something complicated. I just miss the simpleness of that age.

[@germantecahd3416]

This is the best Ridge Racer

[@malik87breaker]

Agreed

[@joelmonteiro1419]

Easily. It's a shame Namco didn't follow up on this formula. They struck gold with this one.

[@Jordan5Harrison]

I never realised just how much effort Namco pit into the soundtrack for this game until now. I remember the Ridge Racer series having a good soundtrack but not this good. Just goes to show how much a good soundtrack is underappreciated when a kid.

[@guopeneferozz]

But you keep it deep inside you

[@nicholasmiranda6013]

@@guopeneferozz Just like the Halo and Ace Combat soundtracks. Absolutely changed my interests in life toward art.

[@riphoff]

i always remember the fireworks, race of of 1999 to millenium

[@FAT8893]

That fireworks + Move Me = Perfect race.

[@SweBadSanta]

The PS1 was my first console and this game was one of the first racing games I played. Man, this music... Still listening in 2019. Here's for many more years.

[@FAT8893]

The same for me, PS1 is also my first console. Still playing R4 today via ePSXe emulator on both my Windows PC and Android phone.

[@321Tdog]

If any EDM artist released these songs today he would get mad ratings still

[@ollietodd4845]

So true mate.

[@NZOMV]

Thumbs up if you're still listening to this in 2016

[@yusufjoseph7455]

+NZO MV Til the day I die.

[@GrayFoxGamingHD]

+Yusuf Joseph I second that :)

[@charlesmckenna1477]

hell yeah. Pearl Blue Soul. nuff said

[@aresmikhail7126]

ohhh yes! e.e "My Ride" "Lucid Rhythm"

[@aresmikhail7126]

and Move me yes yes e.e

[@MDMister]

Speed. Sophistication. Travelling. Blue skies. Modern architecture. That's what racing games used to be about.

[@cmf1402]

@DEDLI Microtransactions.

[@wilder8386]

Good times do not come back,this game will stay forever in my heart.

[@michaeljackson1742]

God, I swear to y'all, this game and these music such did moved me alot back in the early '00s. *sighs* This game SURE did bring back memories to my childhood. I know eveyone who have or played this sure would say the same thing.

[@jumbozimmy]

Yeah, when I was 4, my sister received a PS1 on Christmas... We played this every day and every night... Oh my God, how many memories...

[@CordovanSplotchVT]

MrMultiFrodo I was about 12 when I played this game... I played it constantly.

[@nojot0]

I hate to be a grammar guy but I think you meant ‘move me.’ I hope you get the joke or I’ll look like a jerk.

[@orlanzo2621]

Excellent racer, man i spent hour upon hour playing this game back in the day, beating it with each team and watching their story unfold. honstly ive never been a huge racing game fan, but i still loved this game to death, something about it made it so fun to play. No doubt the music was definitely part of what made it so special.

[@miamivicemastermixer]

totally agree, never has a racing game been more enthralling and addictive. The stories of each team really cut deep in my skin as a child.

[@yetanotheruser1989]

One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Suits the overall game design perfectly, and listening to it separately, it not only conjures imagery and memories of RR4, but of many other games from that era. Truly a definitive soundtrack on the PlayStation 1.

[@TheBarryOwl]

Exceptional Soundtrack. Don't think i realised quite the Musicality and Production in these tracks when i was a child. Good thing i remembered this game earlier today and checked this out.

[@TheL1arL1ar]

I loved this soundtrack back then growing up, and the game. This will always be close to my heart since I was in high school also and I used to invite friends over to play splitscreen. I still play it to this day

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

hell yes damm awesome game soundtrack, i love ridge racer type 4. magic music, and one fucking awesome ps1 racing game. still have this game today a huge favourite of mine.

[@rzero21]

A game ahead of its time! 1998-1999 were great years... (I can see some similarity between R4 music and Ace Combat 3 electrosphere soundtrack and found out pretty much the composers were the same)

[@KevBautista]

I'm all grown up, at work, but listening to this song reminds me of my childhood - and ups my productivity!!! Daym!! :)

[@TheMegagamer72]

You have a new car,ready to go!

[@GrayFoxGamingHD]

Best game OST of all time :)

[@GrayFoxGamingHD]

***** Great Minds think alike :)

[@Aualan]

no,best racing game ost :) cause there are a lot of ost which are mind blowing

[@charlesmckenna1477]

I remember buying the cd import on eBay in like 03, it was a double disc set. I still own that $hit! Silhovette dance or lucid rhythms are the best songs hand down.

[@lavaboy24]

The nostalgia flows through my hair, lucid rhythms got this silhouette dance parading in my pearl blue soul, but the quiet curves always move me while this revlimit funk is just part of my motor species; the naked glow in my eyes signifies the objective in my mind and I'm burnin' rubber as I move right thru in the ride of my life. For you this might be garage talk, but for those who can feel my vibe, they understand these are the precious urban fragments of a time I wish to go back to like movin' in circles, but I guess I have to turn the page since I'm ready to roll. There is no epilogue now, there's just one more win!

[@GabrielOliveira-ti3bf]

Poetry based off the music titles... cool

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

Loved this soundtrack. It fits the game so perfectly and it is also nice to keep in the background if one is doing some activity. The last track that played during the final stage is still an earworm to this day, I remembered it clearly even before listening to it again here.

[@Aysentaro]

damn i did not appreciate it enough back then

[@MrThunderwing]

So much awesome contained within one single game!

[@RECHOOSENONE]

tekken 3 same story

[@elaborate-press]

played this game again yesterday and finished the gp with terrazi... coming to the point it was a huge step from earlier titles like ridge racer revolution to type 4 and the soundtrack was one big aspect to create this very captivating atmosphere of rr type 4! thanks for sharing it...

[@Adrian-yp7nb]

+Elaborate Press lucky git!!!

[@CalleJonte]

My favorite is silhouette dance, jungle/dnb at its finest!

[@fatbakadash]

Amo questo gioco!! Colonna sono fantastica,gameplay perfettom la storia dei 4 team sono fottutamente commuoventi ....bei ricordi... W RRR99!!!!!!!

[@CovershotV8]

This is by far the best Ridge Racer of all time!

[@danamal02]

A decade after upload and this is still one of my fave soundtracks. The game looked and sounded great too for being on the PS1 :o

[@edmedina7079]

2019 and still one of the best video game soundtrack of all time

[@Skunk-420]

I remember an option in the game to just listen to the sound track. I did this more than playing the game. Miss my PS1 😢

[@GokuYamoshi]

Those special background sounds are amazing.

[@SpaceCowboy-D]

OMG I finally found you my old old friend. RIP Renay, You and I had good times jamming on my playstation. And this you can regard as Deep house not game music.

[@tonydacosta4575]

this was one of the goat racing games one of the first games I ever got on ps1 about 13 years ago lmaoo

[@slickrick5799]

Such a memorable soundtrack! A perfect mix of fusion and dance. Thanks so much for the upload!!! :D

[@guilhermerocha3527]

Melhor Trilha Sonora de Todos os Jogos tanto de Ps1 como Ps2 e Ps3

[@rrr13455]

concordo

[@guilhermewilliam530]

finalmente um br aqui.

[@michaelsury6698]

love love love from my 9 years . Found the treasure now and never gonna leave it!

[@purwantiallan5089]

R4 has some of the best songs. On both of Ridge Racer PSP games, those songs are in also.

[@ubernocrono]

Man, this took me back to high school and this being the very first game OST I ever bought. Thanks for the upload

[@NeoKyoKusanagi]

This sojndtrack, along with the Motorhead (Racing game) soundtrack are the best ever!!! Thats for the vid, man. Brings a lot of memories, as we remember when life was a little easier. And the games were harder, haha

[@aliets]

There is not a single bad note in this soundtrack. It is absolutely perfect.

[@Ben-jg4jw]

I wish they would re-release this game, absolute beauty

[@BrecMadak]

Revlimit Funk and Motor Species are a hell of beasts.

[@ericktorres674]

This brings back memories.. Explains why I like Flying Lotus so much.

[@raulperez7029]

OK. Kinda realized the same thing :)

[@FAT8893]

Always love in-game OST because it's longer than the Direct Audio album OST. The Objective is definitely my #1 favourite. That feeling when racing against Terrazi Utopia while playing that tune is priceless. ❤️

[@darrentylor5473]

Memorized this soundtrack, playing for hours... Finally had to get my own mix... Any track...Billy Idols White Wedding works well

[@hitachicordoba]

Blasting this OST in one tab while watching the 1998 All Japan GT Championship in another is quite the vibe. Has it been... 25 years?!? Oyaji desu ne...

[@JamAshGoo]

Listening to this is bringing back so many good memories of my childhood! Thank you for uploading this

[@oilyp]

Think Move Me is my fave track... So smooth

[@ninjamuraiii5692]

Lucid Rythms! Was my lucky song back in the days xD Thanks for the upload!

[@TheFukaiMori]

House!!!! I remember the days of gamer with this... fantastic music and game!

[@stefanompc]

Secondo me la colonna sonora più bella di tutti i tempi per un videogioco.

[@joeblack9797]

2018 and soundtrack still keeps me on my toes.

[@Tarachvan515gy]

I have memories of playing this as a kid and enjoying the music. Of course back then I didn't really care about it, didn't really think about it. But one thing is clear, I always enjoyed playing with these relaxing songs in the background.

[@umairusman]

best soundtrack for a racing game ever

[@ChristopherMcLarenExperience]

14:32 when the beat drops back in

[@louis6legros1975]

L'une des meilleurs ost du monde sur ps1 .....dinguerie 😎👌

[@carlosmontenegroahumada6074]

El sountrack post colegio directo a dar vuelta una y otra vez este juegazo. Genial el soundtrack

[@KOU-y7y]

当時、リッジレーサーは 凄くハマってて　ゲームも面白いけど　音楽が良かった R4は　一気にガラリと変わった感じがした　今　考えると　初代プレステでこのクオリティは　凄すぎる

[@Skunk-420]

best opening video of any game ever!.. and these tracks too!

[@Betamaxguy]

Best video game soundtrack ever in my opinion. First played this game back in 1999 when I was a little kid. Good fucking times.

[@tombennett4895]

Fuck me, what an absolute porn tune! awesome track.

[@darkcatapulter]

I'm so happy I found this in 2018

[@SirNippletonMcSugarteets]

DarkCatapulter DUDE YEA THIS STUFF IS AMAZING

[@caco668]

This is when the cd playing capabilities of my psone came in handy. Awesome music!

[@miamivicemastermixer]

the story of that game is soamazing. I loved the way each team had their own story and driving style. Never got the 200 different cars though :p

[@rage9one]

I'm so glad I grew up in the 90's, those were the best times!

[@joelporta2406]

Discoverd this game 1 week ago, soooo gooood

[@Utzuki]

Thanks so much for uploading this!

[@denjighostchannel]

11) The Objective - 1:01:10 TECHNO

[@samuellancaster1305]

i remember about this game and the soundtrack and i even played 4 until 7 times this cd it is so cool especially i like movin in circles and move me

[@reiseafa8789]

"Movin' In Circles" is still echoing in my head time to time. It's almost 20 years.

[@JM-ci3wh]

Damn. The beats are so sick.

[@The80sguy39]

Spot on and is one of the reasons why i didn't buy the retail version. For example, the in game version of Pearl Blue Soul is just over 6min whereas the retail version has been cut down to 3:25min. They probably did it to cut costs.

[@djjayem100]

Movin in circles got me pumped on that last race always

[@ReadyToEnjoyYou]

I`ve been searching for the 6 first minutes of this song for too long. Finally found it! Fucking QUALITY music this shit ❤️

[@JinKazshima]

55:00 Reminds me of Ps1 Start up intro!

[@garrygrant7514]

i loved this game this is what introduced me to racing to this day i have this ps1 cd and my ps1 play it when i have the chance..........the good old days

[@3anaurv2]

My fav is the vibe with the synth middle part.

[@yelnatStanley]

Best Soundtracks Ever... R4 is the best Racing Game Ever...

[@KoopaXross]

Gotta take a ride in Japan sometime during evening/nighttime with this running on the stereo.

[@gc3k]

The whole soundtrack sounds like music you'd hear from a bar/clothing store/TV show/radio station etc in Japan

[@Yamazaki44]

OH MY NOW THIS IS MUSIC!!!!

[@KATOKO07]

I love Naked Glow! That's cool.

[@StrangeMindedBoy]

Oh god, the memories... Great upload!

[@shaddayah]

OMG this brings back soooo much memories..simply the good ol'days...

[@OneBiker98]

Motor Species is my favourite song

[@skdream]

RR Type 4 and Street Fighter 3 are my favorite video game soundtracks. Other games games have one or two pieces of music but these two are amazing from top to bottom

[@mmmarkymark]

Forgot how good this soundtrack was. Awesome.

[@Bhunibelza]

One of the greatest game soundtracks ever!

[@Stinger-rq4gy]

This game is a classic it will never be made again like this, or the music, or the cars, Ridge Racer 5 does not even come close to this, or 6, or 7, or 8

[@UnknwnMelody]

I just love the first track so much

[@キリン界の紳士]

R4は私の中でレースゲームの基礎番になったゲーム 他のレースゲームをやってもR4感覚でやってしまう 人生のBest3に入るゲーム サントラが出ていたのは知らなかった...

[@harman1967]

Awesome tunes, now play GTR2 driving open practice with this playing, just like the good ol days : )

[@MegaFCKforever]

I loved the big change in the soundtrack from RR 1-2-3 the Techno is replaced by bitch relaxing, ambient / soul, soft pop/rock and it fits the game even better, but I really liked the techno of the first 3 installments too, RR is born with techno dance, dont we ever forget that A Shane this didnt came as an arcade

[@Adrian-yp7nb]

+Claus W All Namco titles during mid 90's to 2001 era had EXCELLENT game soundtracks.....

[@zacknoneofyourbees6470]

I know what you mean. The gabber Techno would work better now as we has faster pace, 60/120fps frame rates. I am not sure if it would blend well with normal racing games. Somthing crazy and radical would hit the spot.

[@LiangHuBBB]

I wish GT sport had this kind of OST best racing game ost ever made hands down

[@marcosalvesa.9112]

7:57....very very nice!!!!
