Resident Evil 1 OST - More Rooms

[@SamsarasArt]

This theme is what makes resident evil 1 unique from its sequels. There was an air of mystery as to why there are zombies and monsters everywhere. You begin hearing this theme in the middle of the game when you're beginning to piece the clues together. It's a very fitting theme indeed.

[@sablebranwen2539]

This is probably my favorite song on the original soundtrack, behind the save room. It's so incredibly eerie.

[@XenoGuru]

Absolutely. The directors cut ruined it. Only improved track in the DC was the third floor of the laboratory. That was incredibly chilling

[@heywoodjablome2767]

@@XenoGuru The Dualshock Director's Cut version of the 3rd Floor Laboratory sounds like something straight out of John Carpenter's Halloween film.

[@XenoGuru]

@heywoodjablome2767 It sure do! 🤣 Speaking of that, I used that track last halloween in my homemade haunted house. The young kids seemed hesitant to come get the candy. 🤣🤣

[@heywoodjablome2767]

@XenoGuru Lowkey, I almost expected Michael Myers to randomly appear out of nowhere in the 3rd floor laboratory the very first time I heard this ost song as a kid.

[@itownz]

One of the best in any video game ost

[@boxwi]

The first time you enter the Guardhouse this music starts playing. It is a brand new area with who-knows-what awaiting you. Good mix of mystery and horror. Ominous as hell.

[@GarnetTillAlexandros]

Fun fact: the guardhouse is just a mistranslation from the japanese. In later entries that place is more accurately called 'dormitory' or 'residence'. "Translated from Kishukusha (寄宿舎?), which is also used to refer to boarding houses" "The dormitory, or boarding house, was a medium-scale building adjacent to the Spencer Mansion. It was used as a hall of dormitories for long-time workers such as research staff and guards. Beneath it laid a smaller laboratory based around the subterranean Aqua Ring, a large water tank, in which Neptune-series B.O.W.s were housed. The guards' weapons supply was also stored in the underground."

[@boxwi]

@@GarnetTillAlexandros Ah, that makes total sense. Never thought of it being mis-named.

[@GarnetTillAlexandros]

@@boxwi You're welcome! It's tidbits like this that make us go "oh woo! I never noticed" when we find out later

[@EliottSontot]

I always found this particular track mesmerizing for some reason. It's like it is screaming for you to explore every nook and cranny of a mansion that have tons of secrets to be uncovered.

[@gajeelredfox2423]

This is the music I hear when I'm studying.

[@Padthrower]

in a dark room, with flashing lights?

[@The_Chosen_Heretic]

Honestly, same.

[@H3llBaron]

ye with some green weed

[@comradeivan3845]

One of the best songs in all game. This is pretty relaxing and creepy af at the same time, and even after beating the game this track keep playing in my head. There is something mystery in this song, i dunno.

[@nickysimi9866]

Relaxing? Oh man idk what relaxes you but just hearing this sure as hell makes me wish I owned an m16 with an m203 mounted to it so I could feel safe.

[@laniakeas92]

It's very hypnotic. Repeating beats and reprises givea you that "mystical" feel. If you analyze it closely - music can be described as a ladder. It goes up, down, then up again. And additional sounds echoing as bg noise

[@ousha5011]

I remember having the feeling of "studying the evidence and start to understand what happend in this mansion"

[@ShadrachASMR]

It is tracks like this that made the first Resident Evil memorable. The overall uneasiness and creepiness of the tune made one feel as though they were in the game itself. As though there was more to the mystery involving the Spencer Mansion. What added to this effect was how alone Chris or Jill (depending on whom you played) were in the mansion itself. To illustrate, whenever I am in an unsettling place by myself, this track plays in my mind. Sadly, video game tracks do not carry the same weight they did back in the 1990s. An era of video game music which may never return.

[@edge6441]

All you say is true and i'll generalise more by saying not just an era of video game music (which comprises of masterpieces as these on this list) but an era of music quality in general is lost with the 90's. It seems that good taste inspiration and talent have left this planet for the time being.

[@SamsarasArt]

Playing this for the first time, it really feels like you're trying to solve a mystery. I can't describe how it felt exploring the mansion and slowly putting the pieces together. That's something that's lost to younger generations since its been laid bare what caused the arklay mansion incident.

[@jayander7027]

You're absolutely right! Games like the tenchu franchise had a great soundtrack which was very immersive

[@snailbutch]

a lot of game composers nowadays want to make an orchastrated masterpiece half the time when video games a lot of times arent meant for it feel like the same composers could do better too

[@joseg.384]

Still gives me Goosebumps.

[@angiesworld8038]

I know, I had a creepy dream behind this music when I first heard it as a teen.

[@MegaRobbieDobbie]

This is one of my favorite background songs in the game. I can close my eyes while hearing it and instantly picture myself in a dark bedroom....heart pounding.... on a late saturday night.....circa 1997......bag of doritos....6 empty Dr.pepper cans around me........one mission......beat the game.

[@angiesworld8038]

This had me laughing when I read the bag of doritos part. 😄😂

[@stergiosmesmerizer3467]

I played the game for the first time maybe in 1997. This track It was stuck in my head until I listened it again in 2016. I have never forgot it...

[@jeremyfannon8537]

This track made ya just walk around in the room to keep listening to it. Then years later youtube came out and now here it is lol.

[@christiann4412]

That feeling when you're reaching the point of no return...

[@dugp1862]

Took me forever to find this one...I was thinking this was the guardhouse, nope lol.

[@ayythatsmikey]

Nope. This is what plays when you get further into the back rooms of the mansion. Specifically those two rooms where you do the fish tank puzzle and the room across with the lights being turned off and you being able to grab the jewel out of the mounted head plaque.

[@SurvivalSpheres]

@@ayythatsmikey No. This is definitely the guard house theme. At least in Europe's original version from 1996.

[@ayythatsmikey]

@@SurvivalSpheres We're both right. Lol

[@SurvivalSpheres]

@@ayythatsmikey Agreed :-D

[@ayythatsmikey]

@@SurvivalSpheres Yup. I've never played the PAL version but I went back and played the NTSC version and the theme is used for both areas we mentioned. Never noticed until you mentioned it.

[@troywright359]

One of best themes in the game. This could even be used in re2, it's that good

[@CREEPYxFACE]

Wow, listening to this while playing the remaster and I honestly love this one more. It just sounds wayyy eerier.

[@mrspicolli]

This one was always my favorite in the game

[@GauterD.W.]

Me gusto que el remastered siguió utilizando estos soundtrack sin cambiarlos tanto

[@aliendrone]

This song really stuck with me when I finally manage myself to beat the first game after so long! Great song!

[@KnottsBear-yTalesPreserved]

This track I always imagine playing in my head when walking through a self-guided maze at an amusement park with no one in line with you. It really adds to the atmosphere when you're isolated and the only things next to you are creepy hallways and the occasional scares hidden in the corners. This track always follows me during these situations.

[@rezopolisdreams4446]

Ahhhh! I loved this one too! Good memories scampering around the guardhouse with the tarantulas after me XD

[@jesusdavidfarinashashem4139]

This was always my favorite

[@henkarars]

this is the best soundtrack in history

[@edge6441]

''More rooms''...yeah very simplistic more like ''deadly premonition'' or just ''premonition'' would fit this perfectly imo. A very memorable tune among others rly setting unneasiness ambience and mystery all at the same time...Genius!

[@Marauder1981]

This feeling when your mom called you from the cellar but your mom has been dead for 5 years.

[@Khanzafar8]

[@juliashenandoah3965]

And there are only thin wooden boards between your feet and the giant teeth....

[@SurvivalSpheres]

If you listen closely you may still hear them...

[@Madmaxxxx1984]

Julia Shenandoah yes yes.. that is it just a thin piece of board between me and your feet

[@gub4941]

You know shit’s ‘bouta get mysterious when this starts playing

[@zufgh]

This is Wesker's real theme imo. It has that perfect feel of someone hiding behind the scenes and conspiring against you. Fits perfectly with how Wesker spends most of the story lying in wait for Jill and Chris like a spider in a web.

[@Trid3nt861]

I remember playing this game back in 1997. This is the game that started my love of Resident Evil, even came with a demo disk of RE 1.5 .

[@MegaRobbieDobbie]

I remember when I first heard this soundtrack I had a creepy dream of a blonde haired girl following me wearing a light blue blouse and a skirt. I was 16 at the time I dreamed it. I ran everywhere I could to avoid this girl, she creepily kept following me. I would run and she would show up right behind. I even climbed up the highest ledge I could find to avoid her and she managed to catch with me. I didn't listen to it again because I didn't play it again, but I still like the soundtrack.
