Shovel Knight Full Soundtrack (Stereo)

[@Dalladrien]

I hope that this is just the 1st in many more games like this to come. It seems that the time is right for retro to enter the stage again.

[@etapliveson]

It probably should be pointed out that Yacht Club Games, the team behind Shovel Knight, is made up of several if not fully composed of WayForward folks, the ones that made Shantae, Contra 4, Double Dragon Neon, Ducktales Remastered, and so many others. If anyone knows how retro works, it'll be them.

[@mattbeaudoin1]

mega man 9 & 10, fez, super meat boy, scott pilgrim the game, etc. etc. etc.

[@FasterThanRainbows]

People have been milking this style for years, it's just that we get so few good ones.

[@catonline878]

***** I highly recommend Cave Story if you are looking for one. It's a free game on cavestory.org

[@sunset261]

Dav Man Also La-mulana

[@mesterkatn]

the song "iron whale" is a fucking masterpiece

[@cloudklaut]

Every Shovel Knight song is a fucking masterpiece.

[@gallitOo88]

I love "Flying Machine" too just epic! This game is masterpiece.

[@Tripphammer1]

This game was amazing! Totally worth every cent. Now I'm off to beat the game...again.

[@1candondor]

keep on shoveling

[@THE_GIN_MASTER_]

Candondor victor Fantasy Fiction ?

[@sirnaq535]

Is it weird I died to specter night five times on my first fight but on Game+ mode I beat him with only 4 health?

[@Seajack64]

Completely complete it!

[@1candondor]

only got 96 percent of treasure but its still an A XD

[@marc-andredussault8818]

That moment where you return to town, and the first thing to do is ask the bard to play Strike the Earth. Every, single, time.

[@sladikk]

For me it's Flying Machine

[@esmooth919]

I actually enjoy the town theme. The only time i ever bothered him was to hear The Forlorn Sanctum...and the last part doesn't even play!

[@kinghappyspoon]

Shield Knight Requiem sends shivers down my spine. The thought that during this entire journey, Shovel Knight is tormented by his failure to save Shield Knight hits you hard, and yet his resolve is so strong that he refuses to stop fighting.

[@NuclearFisshin]

I have to say, if you took the mono mix and made a stereo out of it, i am impressed. This works really well, even on my reference monitors it sounds well and balanced. Good job. :)

[@CompleteProducer84]

Thumbs up if your favorite parts of this soundtrack are the following from the Lich Yard stage and boss fight: 1:27:15 1:23:20 Love how they use the same melodies for the stage and boss fights, with different tempos and time signatures.

[@Ostnizdasht206]

Plains of Passage is the perfect track to set the tone of the game.

[@andrew_cunningham]

I'm trying to decide if it's worth getting the soundtrack just to use with Crypt of the Necrodancer. It would be so incredibly awesome...

[@Robin_Glorb]

I'm shocked I found you of all people here. Funny how this comment is older than all of the videos on your channel

[@JokinJoe]

I have goosebumps from an 8 bit soundtrack. What's funny is I bought this game on a whim without knowing anything, played the first level, holy crap I was in for a shock. Reminded me of days long ago :')

[@rassilontdavros3004]

Fabricio Henrique You are a godsend

[@GaliMercury]

I'm speechless... I've never cried of joy from the melodies of a video game score. But I guess that changes today.

[@bythewayisay]

This game is epic, and not only that, it has an amazing soundtrack. Can't get enough of this. ^_^

[@Marionetagm]

De lo mejor que pude catar el año pasado. 10/10. Ojalá salgan juegos tan cuidados como éste más a menudo.

[@Joybuzzer64]

The music in this game is incredible...

[@simomies]

They really outdid themselves with the soundtrack on this one.

[@WarioLand3]

It's Jake Kaufman man, he's made so many otherwise mediocre games seem incredible. (not saying shovel knight is mediocre please don't misinterpret my comment.)

[@2-up601]

As amazing as it is, not really.

[@chronicthrone]

this is my GOTY!!! I need to have this in my collection!!! Yacht Club Games, can't wait what is next for you guys!!! Shovel Knight is so much fun, can't put my 3DS down!

[@alfa0i0omega]

Plains of passage and Pridemoor... *overdoses on awesomeness*

[@pablostillborn]

Plains of passage, Pridemoor, The lost city, Clockwork tower, Fighting with all our might so damn good freaking composition

[@Crowbar]

This game was such a big surprise for me, came out of nowhere and I had such a FUCKING GREAT time with it. And Im not even someone who played the old retro games like Megaman cause I was always on PC and still it was that awesome for me. Shows that this game is not just good because of nostalgia but because its just THAT good!

[@implodinghippo]

this sound track makes me want the game... not the actual game itself. Plains of Passage is amazing.

[@1candondor]

the name of the track is actually called shake the earth and i have it on repeat

[@munsi0121]

*strike* the earth

[@gallitOo88]

I like this track too but i prefer Flying Machine just amazing.

[@sarahvilardi3071]

Plague of Shadows is getting its own soundtrack. ALL OF MY YES!!!!

[@BjornJacobs]

Amazing tracks. Especially Flying Machine takes me back to the good ol' days. :)

[@SpyGenesis]

Pridemoor FTW!

[@princemyriad5813]

+Spyppoy Clockwork FTW!

[@dawn1279]

+Spyppoy The Lost City ftw xD

[@renerusendero]

+Spyppoy Yeah pridemor!!!

[@KallistoOfCallisto]

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Thanks for uploading.

[@Oprtful]

I keep coming at this daily since the pc release .. This is honestly one of the best ost I've heard those last years. Strong composition and arrangement, inventive use of the main theme, all the way throught. Might well be challenging for the real 8bit era soundtracks .. Keep up the good work, sir !

[@apartment906]

This soundtrack is amazing, really, REALLY good! I like SPECTRE KNIGHT and THE LICH YARD... oh soooo Castlevania-like! Love THE EXPLODATORIUM as well!

[@MarcoAntonioColioGallardo]

I grew an obsesion with the Pridemoor Keep

[@titosimoes9782]

Plains of Passage and Shield knight requiem and Lich yard. Too many amazing tracks in this goty candidate haha

[@mregasi]

I finished this game... This ost is an orgasm.

[@FAISALMILAN]

pridemoor is amazing its the beeeeessssstttttt

[@mrwlmlaws]

its is impressive to hear how even with this 8-bit style the instruments are still so layered, this ost is so beautiful!

[@Azoolag]

You know you've got a good soundtrack when it's been #1 for like 3 weeks straight on Bandcamp as is even beating Approaching Nirvana right now for that #1 spot. I was a fan of Jake before, but I knew this soundtrack was going to be spectacular.

[@blara2401]

This upload is a treasure that reveals a painful secret ; for all its compositional quality, Shovel Knight's music is poorly mastered at best. Proper panning makes its already unforgettable melodies _so much more_ in every way ! You cannot be thanked enough for this, truly.

[@InteractionImplants]

This dude is a FREAKING AMAZING composer! I wish I had half his talent.

[@THE_GIN_MASTER_]

A Cool Reception (Stranded Ship) fucking KILLS me...that beginning progression is unreal

[@BologneyT]

Plains of Passage, Pridemoor, Clocktower, Iron Whale, Mona Minigame, Armorer Village, Fighting, Plague Knight, Lich Yard, Spectre Knight, Black Knight... SO MUCH WIN IN THIS SOUNDTRACK

[@JDZombieslaya]

the flying machine is one of my favorites

[@itdepends604]

my favourite tracks: 1) 1:00:53 Shield Knight Requiem 2) 51:35 Tinker tank battle 3) 21:28 The flying machine - Tinker tank battle 4) 1:13:24 Fighting with all our might 5) 0:00/1:53:24 Main theme/ending/credits 6) 5:31 Plains of passage

[@danflutterloveryay9555]

There´s something about Plains of Passage that rocks HARD :3 Love it, love this stereo version

[@michellybaby]

i can't even begin to explain how good this is. unfathomable.

[@italloalexsander]

Spectre Knight theme

[@MindLessWiz]

The two Black Knight tracks are just amazing!

[@rodrigoapostol4598]

Ahh good memories come to my mind. So nostalgic i remember playing as kid with my big brother after school in the Steam Machine .

[@mark2dark]

This ost blows my fucking mind to shit out of awesomeness

[@dmacksnyder7118]

My FAVORITE type of music! I hope that some games get cool soundtracks with 8-Bit versions like this, only if not the games' actual music, then maybe a parody, more or less. I haven't had the actual experience playing this, but I did listen to it. It's really good!

[@DeliaESymbols]

My favorite is Clockwork Tower FOR SURE!~

[@GhostrareStardust]

Shovel Knight for smash!!!!

[@campusfrogs6487]

doesnt work like that

[@CharlieSolark]

***** Well hey, they made R.O.B work I could easily think of a moveset for Shovel Knight

[@MasterMario14]

He also has all those relics he could use.

[@alanschmitt9865]

Damn, stereo bass really makes The Lost City funky

[@david-fm3gv]

I can't get enough of this. So good. SOOOooooooo good.

[@Fardinton]

The campfire song sounds so sad... with a little of mistery... beautiful song.

[@Lexyvil]

Explodatorium's probably my favourite one for its catchiness~

[@SaltedMallows]

1:00:53 An extremely lovely piece, it tells the tale of shield knights tragic falling. Only to be saved by shovel knight her, knight in shining armor.

[@Zeohawk]

I really like the Lost City track. Shovel Knight for Smash! lol

[@emmanuelmondesir1314]

indie caracters dlc when?

[@Slat3]

That would actually be fucking epic. Wonder if Nintendo would be interested in acquiring Yacht Club Games ._.

[@1candondor]

if he was. there would be no stopping me from buying a wii u

[@Lexyvil]

I know it's close to impossible for that to happen, but I can actually imagine Shovel Knight as a good combatant in Super Smash Bros. v v

[@esmooth919]

The first time I heard that song, I had it on repeat for at least an hour

[@nooxet]

Tinker Tank Battle is epic plus the battle it really fits in. Plains of Passage is my favourite thought.

[@foutskazuya1425]

I've always seen OST's as DLC's for games and scoffed. Shovel Knight however, has an amazing soundtrack that brings back oldschool style catchy themes. Definitely worth my purchase.

[@kirbyman100]

Flying Machine has to be the best song in the game, in my opinion of course.

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

I agree fully. Followed by Tower 1

[@CompleteProducer84]

Absolutely one of the best tracks in the game. I slightly prefer the Lich Yard stage and boss fight themes (Spectre Knight), as well as Strike The Earth, but Flying Machine could very well end up as my #1 fav. Amazing tune!

[@gibbisplat4489]

I couldn't hear the music over me screaming WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I'm really bad at platformer games

[@Kruegernator123]

The Tinker Tank battle theme is my favorite. It sounds so climactic, as if I were fighting a giant tank!

[@JohannesBGoode]

Kruegernator123 Pridemoor Keep Ftw :D

[@ShadowPooper]

if this were old game, would be so nostalgic sorry for my bad english

[@SharkandMinno]

Close... If this were an old game, it would be so nostalgic. Very true!

[@doomman7349]

SharkandMinno If this was*

[@ketchup901]

DoomMan If this were is also correct.

[@layluubelle]

DoomMan I'm afraid it is "were" on this occasion. It's all about subjunctive moods. Because the game is not an old game in reality, we use "were" and not "was".

[@Stephano723]

lol you're english is fucking TERRIBEL xD

[@ChillPenguin93]

Their palette of sounds is HUGE for an 8-bit soundtrack

[@therepublica]

This soundtrack is so damn amazing

[@audreyyeah3778]

OMG THZ SO MUCH! I love these songs

[@Sucaru667]

I've been putting off those last three feats for a while now. I should probably get on that.

[@dallyowally]

Pridemoor is the fucking tune of the century

[@hammer082]

holy crap ... 32:28 is insane :D absolutely great!

[@alvarosanchez8470]

Plains of the passage sounds like the game is telling you how awesome it is since the begining!

[@smashfam1]

Damn...armorer village is my favorite! Excellent soundtrack

[@LoadedEmu97]

Imagine if time travel existed. What if someone went back in time to the 8-bit era with this game and played it in front of a crowd of gamers in an arcade or something! It would possibly be considered the best 8-bit game of all time!

[@Hilinx]

But it cabt be played on a NES it has to many colours and goes over the maximum GB like ;,(

[@LoadedEmu97]

The Ewerithing King Not talking about playing it on the NES, I mean playing it on the Wii U on a CRT TV and pretending it's on the NES.

[@DeathBringer769]

Snoop Doge Then it wouldn't really be considered the best 8-bit game of all time would it..

[@itdepends604]

Give them a dose of EA FIFA instead

[@CitrusFury]

Hm, this stereo audio could be really handy for transcribing/arranging these tunes. It does a great job of separating the various independent lines that make up the complex soundscape.

[@Maldito011316]

CitrusFury The original sountrack in NES format is avaible on the official bandcamp. You can use some tool to read it and get all the notes without room for mistake.

[@drewc9488]

If you need me, I'll be listening to this for the rest of my life

[@PlasmaBoom]

Is it me, or did the Black Knight 2 fight feel like the most epic fight of any game ever?!

[@Disembow1280]

Been doing some research about how Shovel Knight's audio emulates the 2A03 and the VRC6 sound chips found in the NES/Famicom and the initial release of the OST sounds like it's in mono. With stereo, I find that I can differentiate a lot of the subtle and intricate harmonies from the already catchy melodies and rhythm sounds much easier than the mono version, as well as pinpoint the different sounding duty cycles which the VRC6 soundfont features. It's really stimulating.

[@Feelin_DanDy]

My childhood just exploded in my pants.

[@emmanuelmondesir1314]

that profil pic....pk feels

[@emmanuelmondesir1314]

who's the artist who made it?

[@200littleman]

Why?

[@Dreadnaut3447]

Shield Knight Requiem OP.

[@Miumiu0404]

11:57 Campfire is my favorite. It's so 8-bit romantic. It sounds so surreal.

[@EightThreeEight]

I guess you could say I DIG this soundtrack. Badum tish.

[@Lukeormaybenath]

Hurrah for Plains of Passage!

[@Smackosynthesis]

This game was just full of brilliant.

[@chasedownall6492]

wow this is amazing now i really want this game now

[@TheGamerFru]

this remind me good days of capcom :D

[@Lore_XiV69]

LichYard.... a true fuckingly masterpiece of the 8-bits soundtracks...

[@stevenwarner9156]

I still haven't played this game; I've only seen a review vid and listened to the soundtrack because it's Virt. I am going to go buy and play the hell out of this game!

[@LeoDavidci]

Games like this one prove that its not all about the graphics, a lesson that should be learned from many companys, looking at you two EA and Ubisoft -.-

[@andyb2341]

Kaufman is a fuckin genious. everything he touches turns into gold

[@OwenDolgosThePickelEmpire]

I LOVE Shovel Knight!!!

[@Lexyvil]

It's been only 3 weeks since I last played and finished this and I already want to start a new game again...

[@Xarobambo]

God i love Pridemoor

[@BRyeMC]

Pridemoor and The Lost City are niiiice.

[@IyasSayegh]

Treasure knight music is the best.

[@Badmunky64]

holy-- This is amazing!! I was gonna wait until the next steam sale to buy this, but I may get it sooner rather than later.

[@teeman9266]

Can never go wrong with Tinker Knights stage, thats the most megaman-ish theme ive ever heard in this game

[@666Winterdemon666]

this game is a masterpiece!

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

Dat propeller knight stage tho...

[@no1janembafan]

I'm getting shivers :D

[@Abriel_Universe]

Plains of Passage is my FOR SURE favorite. No doubt.

[@BruciusVII]

+Abby “Zelda fan” Gamer my fav too

[@YouLookBeautiful2day]

The dj cutman remix of " plains of passage " is cool.. but the original is so! GOOD!

[@ZoFiProductions]

Clockwork Tower Sounds Heavily Mega Man influenced.

[@CalvinArt]

I needed this :))

[@campusfrogs6487]

my favorite game in 4 years.

[@speckledorfiv2806]

Love this soundtrack. Very Mega Man-esque and Mega Man had great music.

[@DeityDiz93]

The original composer for Mega Man, Manami Matsumae, helped make this soundtrack. That explains enough I think.

[@stevenwarner9156]

DeityDiz1080 Yep, seems she was a big influence on Virt. Bet he must have been ecstatic when she offered to add a couple of tracks herself!

[@DanielNoronha86]

My childhood is back!

[@IsaiasSanchez-lv1nl]

+Daniel Noronha So you're 3 years old?

[@DanielNoronha86]

No, you are!

[@Lucio085]

Plains of Passage & Lich Yard \m/ Thx!
