Robots GBA/DS Soundtrack (Original source recording)

[@IanStocker]

Okay, so I had no idea so many people liked this soundtrack. 1K likes and 70K views! Thank you all so much for all the awesome comments here. By popular demand, I've posted the full soundtrack for download. The songs are fully remastered and slightly higher quality than this they are in this video. I hope you enjoy it! www.dropbox.com/s/75w85uj8rvkoja6/Robots_GBA_MP3.zip

[@talec_arashi]

Wow, I picked a good time to come around this way! :D

[@nightchemist]

legend! huge thank you for the download. Such a vibe to these tracks mate

[@420shrekit5]

This was the game back then

[@detectoplasm]

This is some of the best game soundtrack I think I've ever heard for a licensed game. You should be very proud.

[@capchiral]

Man I just gotta say that I LOVED this OST when I was a kid playing it on the GBA. I'd go and hang out in the outmode area and the upper city areas so that I could just chill and listen to the music. Only recently was I watching a streamer and his intermission music reminded me of the music in this game and it's been a huge nostalgia trip for me. Thank you for crafting this and for reuploading it!

[@furretfreak]

Truly a hidden gem of GBA titles. Something about this soundtrack makes it so damn atmospheric, which fits the theme of a futuristic dystopian city.

[@Dreigonix]

Sure, there may be many perspective absurdities (the gliding segments in Jack Hammer's stage and the Chop Shop can go eat scrap), but overall I loved this game, especially because of the music.

[@SylentVoidkeeper]

Dreigonix Also, the puzzle sections later in the game with all of the magnets and shit get rather tiresome. It's still a great looking game. The animations are really smooth

[@magma41158]

The music reminds me of ristar

[@dorememe8548]

The game is better than the movie it’s based on.

[@ozwegian2003]

A bit random, I guess, but this brings back memories of driving my family around Italy in 2005. While I was dueling with the chaos of Italian motorway traffic in a rental van, my kids were happily occupied in the back of the van with their Nintendo DSes playing 'Robots'. I remember the sound of this soundtrack well. Thanks very much for the sounds here. Not only is it enjoyable to listen to, it brings back memories of a special time.

[@Zippy_Zolton]

this is such a wonderful comment

[@ozwegian2003]

Thanks, Zolton, and cheers again Ian.

[@l3ossTweed]

I remember going to the gallery in the game and listening to Aunt Fanny's Gallery whenever I was sad. This soundtrack was a huge part of my childhood and I love it so much. Thank you for composing it.

[@IanStocker]

this is exactly what I had in mind when I wrote it, believe it or not, just the feeling of complete safety somewhere.

[@turtle79070]

Im upset about how good this music for a licensed game is.

[@levobertus]

turtle79070 the game as a whole is surprisingly good tbh.

[@Oscar-us4om]

Levobertus The gameplay gets boring after some time

[@levobertus]

yeah it's pretty simple, but I found the adventure aspect is what keeps it going. Getting collectibles, upgrades and seeing new places is what makes it interesting.

[@joelsweeney4024]

@@levobertus wasnt it a platformer? i was never much into those

[@newtfigton8795]

Joel Sweeney It’s one of those isometric almost-3D platformers.

[@MotherKojiro]

It's so cool to see this uploaded by the actual composer! I played this game a few months back, and I didn't care for it, but one thing I made sure to put on my list was to check out the soundtrack, because even the little bit that I'd heard was incredible. Here it is on KZbin, and it's all great! I certainly plan to look into more of your work.

[@IanStocker]

Many thanks for your very kind words

[@SilverLPs]

Yeah, i asked Ian on Twitter to upload his work :D Played the game multiple times on Gameboy and PC (emulator).

[@Dreigonix]

This soundtrack is a masterpiece and I know every song by heart. From the organs on Train Station, to the classy vibe of the Upper City, the funky groove of Bigweld Upper, the dark bass and atmospheric chords of the Outmode Area, the epic melody of Jack Hammer's, the slightly spooky Party theme, the screaming sirens on the boss theme, the keyboard work on the Bigweld's Workshop theme that perfectly symbolizes the despair of a broken man, the shiny Bigweld Industries theme that contrasts wonderfully with the Workshop theme, and the grim, murky Chop Shop theme that fits perfectly with the literal robot death factory you're in... it's just amazing. I have to thank you, Mr. Stocker, for doing my childhood such a service by composing this.

[@SkittlesDaRainbow]

Ian Stocker, you composed this?? Wow! Its a pleasure to meet you! I was the first person to upload songs from this game to youtube, under the account Xela! I love your work on this soundtrack, and I hope I can hear your other work!!!

[@IanStocker]

Alex Magnei Thanks for posting the songs--I probably wouldn't have made these mixes for my channel if not for the interest I saw on channels like yours.

[@alexmagneispokkenchannel7332]

+Ian Stocker Wow its my pleasure! I never expected that my posting the songs would lead to something like this! I really must listen to your other works!!

[@whirlipede2084]

so, I'm really obsessed with shitty GBA games, I can't explain bought this one last week without a clue of how the game was and, what a surprise! The game is fairly good and this soundtrack, simply unique and outstandingly! A true GBA hidden gem right here

[@pikakai]

I didn't realise the uploader was the actual composer, nice! This is among some of the first GBA games I owned and I enjoyed this game a lot, especially the soundtrack, it was very good on the GBA.

[@muscleandimports]

Back in the day, GBA/Nintendo games always had the best soundtrack. I'm amazed to find 'the composer' posting their content. I don't know how you earned it, but it must've been awesome to develop the music for this game back in '04. You've given me nostalgia, I played the hell outta that game..

[@raphsieg007]

You, sir, are a musical genius. I grew up playing this game, and the music was always one of my favourite parts about it. My favourite one was always the Jack Hammer's music and still is to this day.

[@kelonfreeman9823]

RaphSieg007 Same here my man, couldn't say it better myself!

[@kadengrace1782]

RaphSieg007 same here too

[@IanStocker]

RaphSieg007 Thanks for the kind words! I grew up making tapes of VGM from the NES, SNES, and PC... but it didn't occur to me until a couple years ago that some of the stuff I wrote might have this nostalgic effect on others. It was only seeing some of my stuff show up on KZbin and reading comments that clued me in. I can just say it's really nice to get feedback like this, even years later.

[@levobertus]

Underrated game...

[@levobertus]

With great soundtrack

[@idonthaveanose]

Despite not having played this game for 9 or 10 years, I remember every track. Definitely one of the best game OSTs, especially for GBA. I still have my copy - hearing this makes me wanna play it again. Great work. :)

[@onitobiko]

this is probably the best soundtrack to any movie-based game i've ever heard. well done

[@GundamChao]

Dude, your music is GREAT, you deserve to be very proud of this!!

[@IanStocker]

Since I got a wave of comments from that Tumblr post today, I decided to post something new, enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHuxe5qbasZ4aKM

You didn’t hand it in to the police station as lost property, you just sort of assumed it as yours? :-P

Y'all this is an absolute banger! You did an amazing job on this Ian!!!

[@IanStocker]

Thank you!

[@VM0451]

Thank you for the memories, Ian. To find out you did the Bionicle DS soundtrack AND this, aka two of the greatest game soundtracks I've ever heard, AND put both of them on YT in great quality for us to listen to, yeah, that's the coolest thing ever. To show you what impact your music had on me, I've had the Madame Gasket tune in my head occasionally for years now, and your Bionicle soundtrack probably included my first experience with spacy drum 'n bass ish stuff and other electronic music, which partially subconcsiously influences my own music writing to this day. Every time I mess around with a synth I just seem to end up wanting something like this. It's great to finally find the name behind that influence. You defined futuristic and spacy music for me, and that influence will always stay with me no matter what I personally write. Thank you.

[@IanStocker]

Always a treasure to read a comment like this. Thank you

[@AstralPhnx]

Good lord this game. One of the first GBA games I played and it still holds a special place in my heart for being a really obscure little isometric Metroidvania with a banging soundtrack. Amazing stuff

[@IanStocker]

Thanks! Great to hear it made an impact

[@lukessoundhouse9903]

Looks like this music have a late 80s/early 90s feel at least, it's what I think btw amazing soundtrack, it brings many memories from my childhood

[@BrandoStoopy]

I remember liking the game better than the movie itself. I think this beautiful soundtrack was part of the reason why. I’m glad you uploaded it and I’m happy to see other people here who love it too. A very overlooked game OST

[@IanStocker]

Thanks :-)

[@blackhole-chan4619]

My goodness the nostalgia... It's so atmospheric and beautiful.

[@Arcademan09]

Obscure licensed game actually has fantastic music. I hate it when this happens

[@isaacrobinson4759]

What the heck, this music is way too good for a GBA game of a movie like Robots. My hat's off to you, sir.

[@IanStocker]

I appreciate it. Licensed games vary a lot in quality, and a lot of the issues come from time constraints (HAS to be out two weeks before the movie, etc.) or licensor restrictions. But the designers at Griptonite always gave it their all with the constraints they were handed, and I was inspired to do the same.

[@EAPKDHPL]

The vibe of this music surprised me a lot when trying it on a DS. Reminds me of 90's computer games music

[@JusuTengu]

Sounds like authentic Sega Genesis music! :D

[@IanStocker]

Jusu-Tengu I grew up in a SNES household ;-) but since this OST is primarily synth sounds I can see the connection!

[@BlueSatoshi]

Nah, the YM2612's got its own distinct sound. But now I wanna know what a Genesis remix'd sound like.

Dude your work is so awesome I love it 😁👍

[@Enderguy059]

And they say licensed games (specifically movie tie-ins) can't be of good quality. Man, playing this on the GBA was always a blast! A simple and fun (if a bit short) collectathon with amazing music to back it up.

You did a really excellent job! I didn't expect such a fantastic soundtrack for a licensed movie tie in game.

[@IanStocker]

Thank you, it was a really fun one to work on. Licensed games have a bad wrap (largely for good reason) but the people I worked with at Griptonite always made audio a high priority and had a strong sense of craftsmanship.

[@jeremym9011]

If only ALL developers had that high priority and craftsmanship when it came to licensed games.

[@SkittlesDaRainbow]

Dreigonix Exactly

[@stellarthefeller]

This game is what got me to appreciate video game music as a whole. I remember getting it when I was just 5 and loving what I heard even if I did suck at the game. This OST is what made me enjoy what I played. Everyone always looks at the graphics or the gameplay, but I always feel that when looking at a game, the music should be included in as a factor because it's nothing to slouch on. Music is what creates the atmosphere for games and this soundtrack certainly embraces how I feel the world of Robots should be. Awesome job Ian!

[@IanStocker]

Thank you! Yes I agree, music was always such an important thing to me. I remember being really young and my friend got his hands on Megaman 2 NES, the first thing I asked was "how is the music?"

[@ENNEN420]

Oh my god he actually uploaded the source recordings. Absolute legend.

[@AikuraShardless]

I bought this game recently JUST for the music, after so many people told me about it. Did you really compose this? My friend, you took something fairly run-of-the-mill and absolutely elevated it. This soundtrack is better than it has any right to be.

[@IanStocker]

Great to hear, enjoy the game and music :-)

[@merlijnnelis]

I remember that this was the first game I ever played, and I loved it so much! My brother also wanted to lend it from me and he also loved it haha. Thanks for the throwback! Ahh... Easier times. :')

[@IanStocker]

For sure! The good times will be back... but we just don't know when :-) best wishes

[@epikster4518]

Hello, I noticed that you haven't uploaded "Prototype A" and "Prototype B" individually, and are only included in this video. Are you okay if I can upload both of them as individual uploads? I'll give you credit in the description.

[@ozwegian2003]

I posted a comment three years ago about how good your musical composition for this game was. I still keep coming back to listen to it. Hope you're doing well, Ian.

[@IanStocker]

Thanks for checking in on me, and it's great to know we have repeat listeners. Life is full of surprises and ups and downs, currently going through a tough situation which has slowed my creative output to pretty much nothing for the time being... wish me luck on getting things back together soon. I miss making stuff!

[@AutumnalSunflower]

do you have something like a bandcamp for one to listen to your music, or is all of it on this channel? this is some very great stuff, and I'd very much like to listen to everything you have to offer.

[@namename9678]

Only reason I bothered to finish the game was because the soundtrack created a nice atmosphere. Job well done.

[@dln8393]

[@jonny9425]

Awesome work!!

[@renomccrow3884]

I’m in love with the SEGA Genesis vibe I get from hearing Outmode Area again, I’ve kept this game since the day it came out. The console version’s got nothing on this soundtrack, because no other game reminds me of my days as a kid playing some Earthworm Jim except this one. You’re a genius composer, and I’m glad this has become a staple in my childhood, truly an underrated soundtrack for a movie licensed game.

[@Popcornian]

I have this game but it's corrupted and I can't play it. Thanks for uploading this so we could all appreciate this wonderful music!

[@Perknare]

The music is very incredible and fitting for Sci-Fi RPG games, I can imagine the music would fit in a Mass Effect game if it had a GBA port.

[@SirBopALot]

Never seen the movie or played the game as a kid, but I definitely want to now. Heck, I’m planning on getting the game for both GBA and DS real soon, for a few reasons. Firstly, licensed games get way too much hate in the modern day, and that’s really disrespectful to the people who worked on it, which brings me to my next point, that being video game music deserves more love, especially because, just by listening to this, I can not only tell you put a lot of passion and effort into this soundtrack, but I can clearly tell you had a lot of fun doing it, as well! 😉👍🏻 Licensed games have as much hard work put into them than big name games. With big name games, a franchise can pump,out as many games as possible, whereas by contrast, licensed games based on a movie or cartoon don’t come out that often, but when they do, they’re frequently pushed to the wayside for that reason m that reason being so many people are too scared to branch out and give new things a try. That stereotype of licensed games being seen as “awful” is something I don’t agree with, because whenever one does come out bad, it’s almost always due to budget issues or harsh development cycles. Back to my original point, I absolutely love this soundtrack, and it’s one of the main reasons I will be getting this GBA and DS versions of the game hopefully very soon.

[@IanStocker]

I appreciate your comment! There are definitely lots of licensed games that have love and care put into them. The Griptonite team always took these titles very seriously, no matter the IP, and I did my best to do the same. I'm not going to deny that licensed games have a bad rap though, and in a lot of cases it's warranted--not for lack of effort on the devs' part, but due to factors like short dev times, inflexible release schedule (must come out two weeks before the film no matter what), and inconvenient demands from the license holder (sometimes late into development). Griptonite's leadership got really skilled at navigating these challenges during my time with them.

[@SirBopALot]

@@IanStocker You are absolutely welcome, man! As a research scientist, and as a person who loves to give anything a chance, as opposed to just agreeing it’s the general consensus, and just repeat what everyone else says, I’m quite familiar with the aforementioned rushed development cycle, deadline, and in some cases, low budget issues that are very common with licensed games. An example of this is SpongeBob SquarePants Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, which turned out to be a really bad game due to rushed development, as well as low budget and I also believe not having enough resources, which is another common problem most games of that caliber tend to face, from my understanding. I’m all about appreciating games that are seen as bad or obscure back then, but are seen as good now. Battle for Bikini Bottom, another SpongeBob game, is a prime example of this, as it was obscure at the time, but quickly developed a massive underground following as time progressed, which is why it got a remake, for instance. But, like I said earlier, loved the soundtrack, man. Really fantastic job.

[@SilverLPs]

+Ian Stocker I saw another guy asked for it, in the comments below. I would totally like a lossless (wave/flac) download. :) Because KZbin AAC 192kbits encode + converter encode to 192kbits sounds ok but not so nice, like lossless does. And the game is old and not thaaaaat popular, so i dont think copyright will be a problem. I mean, the clear internet is full with gba/nds roms for the entire game, and im sure that the publisher and devs dont really care about that... because it dont makes a financial loss. So pls think about a lossless download (maybe a link in the comments to mediafire, mega, dropbox or something?). If you dont want to make the lossless files public i would either be very thankful for a personal message with the lossless files) :)

[@IanStocker]

No lossless files exist (yet)... These are from MP3's I had when I originally wrote the score. So I would need to do another WAV render and some mastering on the songs first. If I get around to this, I will definitely post to my channel about it. Thanks for your support btw!

[@SilverLPs]

No problem :) I like your work so its the least i can do. If you have time for this, i would be very thankful for a lossless release. But i dont want to pressure you, so do it if you want and when you have time.

[@RawrBag]

If you own the game, maybe its a good idea to rip directly from hardware. though it will be lacking to the release Ian has uploaded here

[@theatralsoup7413]

Great Soundtrack! As a child this awesome soundtrack was for me one of the most important part of the game, so much atmosphere!!! Maybe this beautiful soundtrack has influenced me in my taste of music, because after this game I listened a long time to futuristic soul/trip Hop music, because it reminded me of this music! Thank you for this epic experience!!! I also often use this music for studiying, because its absolutely relaxing!!!

[@IanStocker]

+Nils Reissel I'm happy this video is slowly but surely finding its way to fans such as yourself. Cheers!

[@whirlipede2084]

I'm doing the 30-Day Video Game Music Challenge right now and this is the soundtrack I chose for "music from a licensed game". I just don't know which track to pick, they're all awesome.

[@IanStocker]

I'm honored to make your selection. I recently did the challenge and was thinking of posting my lineup to YT

[@jackbailey9920]

Not sure if I commented before, but easily one of (if not) the best soundtracks on the GBA. Still humming these almost 18 years later.

[@zeeenator]

I still remember in elementary probably when I was in 4th grade was when I first had this game. Ah the memories.

[@neal2399]

That game did not deserve this fuckin banger of a soundtrack

[@Dotakid99]

The memories, man what a sound track 👍.

[@mangaboss1411]

The music MADE this game

[@MitchRulzWorld]

One of my all time favorite game soundtracks. I have been searching for this for a very long time. Upper City and the Gallery songs are probably some of my favorite. What software did you use to compose this? Do you have any music-making tips? (I am a reason 6 user) Mitch

[@IanStocker]

MitchRulzWorld Thanks! Upper City is probably my favorite. It was somewhat inspired by the Walk in the Woods song from the first Halo game. All these songs were made in Impulse Tracker, which had to be run in a DOS emulator to work in Windows XP! As for tips, I could write several blog posts, but to condense it down: what has worked best for me is to write a lot of quick sketches, a few bars each, then come back to them after a day or two and develop the ones that seem the most promising.

[@Chadius]

Reminds me a lot of Jazz Jackrabbit.

[@IanStocker]

I believe Alexander Brandon also used trackers, so this would give both OST's that inescapable "mod" sound...

[@spaceysystem6642]

I recently remembered this game out of literally nowhere. And the only reason I remembered was the music in Upper City. That had been my favorite place in the game when i was a kid after i bought the game the moment it had come out on gba. You couldnt believe the wave of nostalgia that hit me when i whipped out that old device and began to play again. Amazing composition man. Even after all these years this music still comes back to remind me of my childhood.

[@Emily-vm5iu]

Oh holy cow dude. I played this so much as a kid, all the time. I adored the music, I'm so glad to be able to listen again. Thanks for the tunes.

[@RWL2012]

I "watched" this a while ago but came back. Since then, I came across a GBA cartridge of this game in a second-hand shop and bought it just because it had your amazing music on it :)

[@faidou9954]

Anyone else surprised with how good this game's soundtrack is?

[@u-ask]

sometimes the greatest things come from the least expected places

[@tvoltage]

very DKC, love it

[@foxx64]

Why do these tunes sound so much clearer than other GBA osts?

[@IanStocker]

I cheated and recorded them from the source files in high quality, rather than through the GBA hardware.

[@foxx64]

Thats actually good to hear. I wish more game devs would do that, the system has some great music but I've never been a fan of the compression.

[@IanStocker]

It's the 8-bit DAC that kills it, even though the sound buffer is mixed at a much higher resolution. Also the resampling (pitch shifting) usually needs to be the fastest, the audio equivalent of nearest-neighbor resizing in Photoshop.

[@BillZypher]

Okay, but why did Siivagunner like this video?

[@puffleperson]

wow.. this is.. INSANE.. I totally forgot about this game (mostly because I was very young at the time and the tutorial boss kicked my arse and I couldn't beat it) This music is absolutely stunning though. I'm totally floored. I hope one day the original .mod files are released because these have to be some of the best tracks I have heard on GBA. With only 2 sample channels available, I must say that the synth work takes the cake most impressive bit! It's completely indistinguishable from stuff that would usually be sampled.

[@IanStocker]

Full disclosure-- we had a sound driver that did software mixing to play the tracker files (S3M format actually) using the hardware sample channels of the GBA. On NDS, we used the hardware sample channels because they didn't use any CPU.

[@puffleperson]

WOW, thanks for the insight! (I also assume you can't release the .s3m files for various reasons as per comments upon other videos, however I wish there was a download for the soundtrack in .wav or w/e as youtube is a bit clunky for soundtracks)

[@darknightmike10yearsago]
