🌀Daydream Cast [Disc. 1] Chill Video Game Music to get Completely Lost In. Study, DayDream (w/ rain)

[@_Jumby]

@pizzahotline_ Hey pizza, beautiful playlist. I've been trying to find the Shenmue song that plays at 11:14 but I can't find it anywhere to save my life. Do you know the name of the song?

[@pizzahotline_]

Hey. Sorry but I don't either. I found a download in a Shenmue forum for all the music that isn't named or officially released. I can't find the download now. Have a look on Google. It's called cutscene music or something. It's a big album of loads of stuff that didn't make it onto the ost

[@_Jumby]

Holy crap I found it! It's called 'Nozomi Vs Enoki & Nagashima'. When you said cutscene music, that was it. I found a cutscene compilation on KZbin. I'll put a link for anyone else trying to find it. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnvIc6aLh5mMd9U

The late 90s/early 00s has a vibe that I don’t think we’ll ever see again

[@tbountybay3080]

I think you're right

[@aphex2056]

What's the difference specifically, is it the fact people had more hope of what the future would look like? What do you guys think

[@thatparkerkid368]

​@@aphex2056The difference in my opinion is that there wasn't as much of a money incentive. People were making things because they truly believed in their vision, not because they thought they could make a quick buck. I feel like now more than ever people create things with the end consumer in mind, they want to make something that everyone is going to like. However, some of the best games have come from people who sat down and made something with their own enjoyment as the goal. People are too worried about whether or not other folks are going to like what they made opposed to just making something they themselves would like. They will compromise their original vision to appeal to a more general audience. This leads to most new media to feel very homogenous and bland, an amalgamation of ideas that have already been proven to work.

​@@thatparkerkid368 really want to help build a world where that isn't the case. Feels like my childhood dreams are being crushed by the current day

[@tomwylie9298]

@@thatparkerkid368 I think you’re close but not exactly. We have to keep in mind that a lot of what we’re referring to is Video Games which was still frowned upon as a business and it wasn’t until the later 2000’s and early 2010’s that we saw it become more of a corporate business, that’s where we’ve lost a lot of that creativity and passion.

[@dawnrigel4255]

I know I risk sounding like a nostalgic-eyed fool, but I really miss when games used to look and feel and sound like games. These next gen graphics genuinely look fantastic, don't get me wrong. But I don't think I ever played video games because I thought they looked or felt realistic. I never looked at Mario 64 or FF7 and thought "wow this looks so real!" To me, it felt more like I was playing with a toybox filed with its own world. Mario felt like a little doll I was moving around and making jump around. FF7 felt like playing with action figures. But thankfully we got the indie scene out here trying to fill that gap to some degree haha. And we'll always have videos like these to take us back.

[@GroovusGoonicus-nb5op]

I think you came up with the concept of the first smash bros haha. But I feel you completely dude. To me they always felt like getting lost in someone else's dreams. The combo of stylized / low poly graphics with sound design could evoke a wider range of emotion and atmosphere, at least for me. Made for more unique and subjective experiences ya know. I do miss the time when all games felt that way, but those indie games have reached incredible heights chasing those feelings

[@lilmamagc]

I miss it too. people didn't take gaming as seriously and it was so freaking offensive like it is now

[@MyNameIsSooOriginal]

the ico at the start threw me to another dimension

[@heaw]

That intro with the birds is hella pleasant.

That ico song is pure heaven

[@jojodi]

That's wild. Listen to the second track's first ~30 seconds. Now go listen to the first couple minutes of Cocteau Twins' "Lazy Calm". It's like the exact same unusual chord progression. Love the mix!

[@antoneharden7312]

Glass Animals vibes

[@plasmakatana8291]

Watching the game play at about 9:30 while listening to the calming music took me back to a place of childhood wonder. I never played the game, but having what looked like a light conversation with a dolphin before helping it find its way to the Coral Forest. Plus, the animal petting mechanic is exactly what many pokemon gamers like about being able to add another layer of bonding with creatures

[@LordOfJoy]

You’re an institution, Mr. Hotline. Your mixes always hit the right spot. Thanks so much!

[@Konfektionery]

Pizza Hotline is a society or organization founded for a religious, educational, social, or similar purpose?

[@pizzahotline_]

Religious, specifically to avoid tax

[@Konfektionery]

@@pizzahotline_ XP lol A religion worth following, to be sure.

Your best playlist to date. You make my workdays so pleasant, thanks for all your work.

this mix is just what i needed. love the retro vibes here *-*

- Beautiful sound. - If you are reading this, don't forget, someone somewhere is wishing you all the best!

[@benjohnston3369]

Ico - Heal is one of my favorite VGM tracks. Thank you so much for including it here! Also, please make more Spotify playlists, I've been playing the hell out of the first one

[@pizzahotline_]

Mine too! Happy holidays

[@willuigi64]

same here, incredible song.

[@liquidmetalslime9]

Pizza Hotline with another dope mix! You are one of my favorite artists I discovered this year. This is all so much nostalgia for me. Your disc 1-3 mixes sent me down a rabbit hole as I never realized how much video game music from my childhood was essentially just jungle or drum and bass, it's been a discovery of a whole genre. Keep up the good work with your mixes and your own music too. A new huge fan.

[@pizzahotline_]

🙏

[@vindenjohnson887]

When I was growing up and even to this day I chase this feeling in your music. Part of me knows that peace is coming even if it is through silence of my own mind. I have been running to catch up to the solemn dark

[@nice_remark]

been looking for something like this for a while, it's tough to find ambient-style background music with similar calming visuals. great job and looking to hear more like it. thanks

[@MeleeChannel]

Oooooh yeah buddy!! Can hardly wait to give this a listen several dozen times while working! :D

[@MeleeChannel]

And you included Summer Forest AND Winter Tundra from Spyro 2?! Legend in a low-poly cape, mates!

[@pizzahotline_]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the premier too!

[@benjamonpookoo2741]

Putting a PS1/Dreamcast disc in a CD player and hoping it would read and play the soundtracks on the game like a CD is a core memory. Sometimes worked, more times than not, it didn’t. Looking at the playlist in the description and seeing ‘Track 45’ made the memory come rushing back to me.

[@despilks]

This might be the best one you've made so far. Thank you as always.

[@_Gilles_]

Another incredible audio-visual gift from Pizza Hotline

[@LuckyDeck]

i love ICO

[@pizzahotline_]

The soundtrack is 10/10😊

[@josephbagnarol5868]

Seeing that snowy bridge outside halo's control room hit me harder than expected.

[@ironxYT]

The first song reminds me of when I was a kid and beat Super Mario 64 for the first time, it was a fun game, a happy ending, and the end was just birds flying off into the sky. Another story coming to an end. Good memories made and put into the vault of my childhood memory bank. I remember crying, sad it was over but happy I got to experience it.

[@danknstein6504]

Your mixes are always good, but this transcends. Please never stop doing this 😂😂

❤️🍕☎️

[@evanebert8291]

Including a Spyro 2 homeworld track (Summer Forest) is ALWAYS a win. Amazing playlist as always, love it. Thanks for being my go-to artist for any time I'm working, trying to focus, or just let go at the end of the day.

And the timestamps are good now, cheers

[@josephkitchenfriednoodles]

Damn Pizza Hotline. It's like you tapped my brain for this list. Some of the soundtracks I listen to the most are Ecco, Circadia, and Shenmue. If Iblard (PS1) was also here, I would've jumped out a window.

[@kairi8882]

My fav mix of all of internet so far, thanks a lot. This has most of my all time fav games like ICO (heal is my fav VGM song of all time), Shenmue, Ecco the Dolphin, Divers Dream and Spyro. PS: If you like Divers Dream I ensure you to play Treasures of the Deep of PS1, its an awesome game wich I have the luck to have in my collection, a truly underrated gem. (yes I love underwater themed games especially from this era)

[@brentpappas4055]

Nice choice for the opening track

[@rapid3638]

This mix started off with ICO - Heal, so I knew the rest would be chill. Many tracks I have never heard but they fit very well! Very enjoyable and will get played often.

[@emilslutsker4126]

Listening to video game music while coding a game😂 Thanks for the mix

[@hal5474]

Ooh cool, what's your game about?

- for anyone out there who don't feel confident enough. - do what you can, with what you have, where you are. - don't let others define the world for you. - get up and grab the opportunities. Have an awesome day

Love it mate, one of the better chilled out mixes I've heard and I listen to them often. Ico is such a gem of a game in a peaceful/atmospheric way. Just got hip to your stuff the other week from producer friends when I showed them a game music side project I was working on. Love the world/aesthetic you've created.
