Racing Game Jazz Fusion (& Funk)

[@cinnamonroll5659]

i always like to call this type of jazz fusion "Circuit Jazz" because of how much it really does coincide with motorsport. love the title to this video and love the playlist

[@cable_g0re]

Circuit jazz is a rad fucking name i will be using that

You can't just denied how charming 90s and 2000s racing games vibes is, whether intense or chill some funky tunes just blend it perfectly

[@PrincessBalamb]

I’m actually a big fan of Casiopea and one of the things that I always associate with a lot of Japanese fusion is motorsports due to their first album cover lol. One thing that I love about this genre of music (not just Japanese Jazz fusion, but jazz fusion in general) is how pronounced and awesome the bass lines are. Thank you, this is an awesome compilation!

[@evanenglish3572]

I love what you did for the background for this compilation, I always love when people who make music comps on youtube take the time to have clean visuals to accompany the music. :)

[@Wuss2ns]

It took soo long! I literally played probably like 20-30 racing games.

[@chanwisaurio]

@@Wuss2ns Wait, you DID the visuals? Going the extra mile, I respect that so much

[@Wuss2ns]

@@chanwisaurioHell yea. Recorded some of it off a CRT for the aesthetic, some were just screen recorded on PC.

[@ocyrushightop]

bro pulled out the crt, BIG props 💛

[@alexarroliga284]

@@Wuss2ns Do you remember what you played? I think I recognized some but I want to know since I've been wanting to look at older games for a while and I wanted to know what seemed like a good place to start. Also, the use of CRTs was genius, nice attention to detail.

[@gushen_]

I cannot believe how good “Calm” is in the Ridge Racer 7 soundtrack. Absolute masterpiece of a song. Then again, it is Ridge Racer, they never miss with the music.

[@Relaxed008]

this mix deserves 1mil views its insanely good

[@davidking3608]

That last section of Calm in the RR7 track is so clean. Such a sick change up

[@trevor_mounts_music]

Listened to music like this a ton growing up - between my dad's records and old school racing games I was listening to WAY too much noodle-y jazz fusion for a normal child. The guitar solos on these songs were super inspiring as a kid learning how to play the instrument. Just impossible superhuman ripping! 😂

[@Sanjesh_P]

fantastic mix - lots of T-Sqaure/Casiopea vibes in here, wouldn't be surprised if a few past/current members composed some of these

[@oliviapierce3194]

Woah Sanj!? You're here too!?

[@Sanjesh_P]

@@oliviapierce3194 I always knew you had good taste shoom 💅

[@binkaminOfficial]

a lot of t-square is actually in the band for MK8's music so they came full circle :)

[@maegnificant]

​@@binkaminOfficialfull circuit you mean ;)

[@thatguycalledthatguy6117]

You’d be correct, actually. The first song, “Go Go SEGA Rally” was arranged and performed by the Minoru Mukaiya who used to be the keyboardist for Casiopea.

[@OneFlew-ks3bm]

When "Beachside" hits, it REALLY hits!!

[@JBedroske]

I've come back to this mix like 5 times now. Excellent mix of chill, eccentric, and bangin' tunes that are so often overlooked and underappreciated in these games while one is perusing menus, customizing cars in their virtual garages, or most obviously, driving like a lunatic. Awesome stuff. Favorite tracks: 8:47 Turning Point (Arrange Version) - So chill, great tune. Probably going to chart this one out if there isn't already one available 28:54 Beachside - Wild changes and that MELODY, in a cute little chibi racer RPG?? 59:46 Colorado - Hilarious. The Mickey's Speedway USA OST did *not* have to go this hard, but I'm so glad it did 1:30:43 Opaque Air - Dat bass. In all the tracks really, but even more so in this one. Also the string shouts and unison runs, sick.

[@Wuss2ns]

This whole video was me trying not to put 5 choro q songs in it so im glad the one i chose still resonated! appreciate the kind words. the enthusia and auto modellista tracks are really good, shame i don't think either of those games are supposed to be particularly great. really was a time when they would throw a lot of money and effort into non-franchise racing games.

[@John-X]

Dude, the menu music in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue was amazing, sometimes i would literally start up my PS3, put Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on & just leave the menu on in the background, it would showcase cars while the music played, such a vibe while i did homework or just chilling in the basement. I still listen to the GT5P menu music while cooking sometimes.

[@DreamEaterMusic]

Thank you KZbin algo for blessing me with this crazy mix today. Cant wait to see what else this channel has in store.

[@dylanmacintosh]

Excellent mix. Everyone needs more racing game jazz fusion in their life, whether they know it yet, or not.

[@Omegashrimp9]

Wow. That Alpine Racer track is funky AF. It can't be beat

[@subsonicbass]

Sheesh dude, pretty rare to find a playlist that has so many BANGERS and no duds!

[@andwildai]

Ty for introducing me to racing lagoon soundtrack

[@B_Drake]

This is a mix that I keep coming back to. It's very upbeat, it has great variation, and it's shown me several racing games that I would have never tried otherwise. Excellent work.

[@Wuss2ns]

Glad you enjoy it! I haven't actually played a lot of the games on this soundtrack, so if any of them have especially been fun I would love to know.

[@Ashura96]

One of the finest track lineups ever assembled

[@ultrasound4212]

Honestly, wow, this is astonishing

[@DDSardi]

This is the best playlist I've ever heard! Congrats, bro! This is awesome!

Me, knowing Wusstunes from fighting game videos, not realizing she has incredible taste in music

[@craftycatgirl3939]

Yo, the Crime Jazz Playlist owns but this? *This* is that Good Shit. Thanks for the excellent mix, chief.

[@underground_man]

"Track 4" from F-1 Challenge at 1:40:54 has some serious bass! I really feel it through my headphones. That bassline reminds me of MJ's Thriller. Funky and powerful.

[@cnel90]

Holy Crap I've been trying to remember what the title of this Rally arcade game i was obsessed with at my local bowling alley, i remember how crazy it was that you could pay extra to use a super-car. it was Go Go SEGA RALLY the first thing on this playlist. I remember the course. Holy cow it's been so long

[@Wuss2ns]

Sega Rally

[@eugenemorrison2720]

Bless your heart for starting my Friday morning off like this.

[@polluxen8515]

Auto modellista has a bouquet of tunes worthy of a check, just like racing lagoon. You could set the entire rr4 album in between on shuffle here and no one would differ lmao. Great mix.. a superb start with go go sega BTW 🔥🎉✨

[@okesska7481]

1:01:47 the ambulance in the background while mickey's speedway music plays. these implications are so dire

honestly I think Taito was a musicians collective that made games on the side. just absolute freaks at vgm

[@DoubleTime53]

Glad to see ya saving the best for last with a Sega GT 2002 track. There's not a game series I yearn to return more than SGT, so much soul for a game often seen as a "Gran Turismo clone".

Killin man. And thanks for knowing this is jazz fusion and not… uh “jazz”

[@Wuss2ns]

there are three kinds of jazz: lounge, crime, and fusion.

[@KahoonaBahoona]

Its always the racing games that have such good jams in them. Also don't know if it means anything but the b-roll was so worth it. Don't have any of my old systems anymore so I got vibe out to some guuud music and get nostalgic too lmao. Cheers man!

There's a slight transparency to it, so the pixels do subtly change color - shouldn't burn in. Also it does start to wiggle and change colors occasionally starting close to 1:14:00 and thereafter.

[@fabianugalde3789]

This mix was amazing, but I think it should have had music from Sonic R. Maybe the credits theme or the Options music could have been nice to listen since they sound more like jazz fusion

[@Wuss2ns]

I thought about including Number One, but I feel like the sort of jazz funk house stuff Richard Jacques was doing at this time at least in that game and Metropolis Street Racer might better be saved for its own mix down the line.
