The note durations, legato and staccato, of the bass is freaking perfect. Combined with the glissando and pitch bends, stutters, this is master level synth playing.

[@Ecidemon]

Thank you! :)

[@VaclavKosar]

+Sputcat: Yes, this is great music. Do you have also any other good songs recommendations?

[@Percopius]

@@VaclavKosar Technically, Scritti Politti is extremely tight and has very complex sequencing and uses a lot of counter point structures, find 'Small talk' and give it a listen. Thomas Dolby is really great, 'Wind Power' being really a good song, and was his debut I think on TV back in the '80s. The Gap Band ' You Dropped The Bomb On Me' is fantastic bass synth playing. U.K. 'In The Dead Of Night' has great performances with the Yamaha CS80 being used to create the expansive synth space, and happens to have one of the best guitar solos ever recorded. Every thing from Gary Numan is worth a listen, as well as Kraftwerk, with 'Pocket Calculator' being the song that predated all electronic music in pop (they did it in the '70's!). 'The Ocean is the Ultimate Solution', which is a recording of Patrick O'Hearn auditioning for Frank Zappa, with Zappa on Guitar, O'Hearn on upright bass, and Terry Bozzio on drums. Fantastic. DEVO, the live version of 'The Girl U Want' on the television show 'Fridays' is stunning, I include the link because it is so perfect, and I love the fact EVERYTHING IS PLAYED BY HAND but sounds sequencer prefect. Siouxsie And The Banshees 'Spellbound' is an extremely important piece, change the music scene and started a cultural movement (in at least fashion) - I also include the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3WoeJ-VasiKiqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXXbZmyvorJogdE I could go on all day listing music I like. I was the drummer for Nina Hagen in the early '80s, I watched the greatest decade in music unfold as I giged around the world - I was CBGBs for a lot of the most famous gigs there. I feel blessed I got to live through that all.

[@2bussy]

hmm yes the alfredo and rigatoni are excellent as well

[@sigsigsputcat1946]

@@2bussy Italian is used in music notation for expression marks, has be for quite a long time. Most trained (and not trained I would say) musicians understand the meaning of at least the most commonly used marks. Glissando means a rapid slide from one tone to another, like running you finger up a piano keyboard hitting all the keys to end on the target note. Staccato means short duration notes; a snare drum single hit is staccato. Legato means the notes are of long duration, usually blending into one another to some extent, no break between the notes.

[@trinopoopty]

I sure wish more people made covers of System Shock songs, but hey, at least we have this absolutely stellar one! SO GOOD!

[@kalenics123]

Man I wish I could hear your music in the new remake😢

[@Dingghis_Khaan]

Energy Systems/Reactor goes way harder than it has any right to, and you pushed it even further beyond. It's beautiful.

[@magnumgaming7341]

This is the best remix I've ever heard. It's like the ideal remix. I wish the reboot has music like this

[@thecolorfox]

Wouldn't say that one is more faithful. This one sounds more like what I would imagine it would be in HQ; this one is much better.

[@mastermaniac1911]

@ZeOverman Thanks for the link. I like that one, too - it's good, real good, but this one... THIS one... it *rocks.* It needs to be in the actual game.

[@selurxelpirt]

I agree that this should definitely be included in the remake. Somebody should refer the artist to Night Dive.

[@MrKosobi]

@4 The Moment Studios Id also like to know. SS2 is one of my all-time-favs but the first game is just too dated. Or is it?

[@crypt0640]

@Steven Hunt the music theyre using as of rn seriously takes a large chunk of charm out of the game 😢

[@NathanStation]

Been coming back to this on and off for years, finally leaving a comment. Incredible work! One of the best video game music covers I've ever heard, and a total banger to boot.

[@Ecidemon]

[@Skeletonizer1200]

Words cannot express how much I love this.

[@GodSlayer2918]

Got sent here by a review of the System Shock remake. Boulder Punch, I believe. Definitely a new favorite! Fantastic job!

[@Ecidemon]

Thanks! I'll have to check out his review!

[@GSGDaveyBoy]

Mate, what's going on? Why are you such an obscure presence on the internet with only 345 subscribers when you're responsible for four of the most absolutely incredible video game covers of all time? I've heard so many covers and remakes that either miss the essence of the original or don't hit hard enough. Yours are perfection on every level and I want to hear more. Get a patreon going dude, I'd pay good money.

[@Ecidemon]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I do have some older a little less refined remixes on remix64 under my handle TmX. Old mod and xm files also float around the net under that handle. Unfortunately I don't have too much spare time these days and i work full time as plumber too 😅

[@GSGDaveyBoy]

@@Ecidemon I’ll check them out pal thank you! At least if this plumbing gig doesn’t work out you can most definitely go into music!

[@TheCakeIsNotLie]

meme about "mfs with 3 subscribers making the best usic you'll ever hear" exists for a reason

[@MacroEido]

Absolutely the best cover of a system shock track ever

[@ADJAXhardcorecraft]

Awesome work ! Keep it up, insect !

[@Goopie48]

The 2023's remake's version of this was good, but a bit less pronounced. I would have liked to hear this beast in the game. Amazing job with this!

[@Gameprojordan]

This would work perfectly in the new remake of ss1. It's slower and more creepy feeling which suits the remake while still keeping the rhythm of the original

[@wristcontr0l]

Had to keep my stank face on for 5 minutes straight. Congratulations OP, this is the best System Shock remix on YT.

[@Ecidemon]

Thank you :)

[@MrKosobi]

Just letting you know that I still think you did a mindblowingly good remix and I still listen to it regularly

[@Ecidemon]

Thank you so much 😊

Not much to say besides I keep coming back to this, it's extremely good and thank you again for making it!

[@mastermaniac1911]

This is one of the best remixes I've ever heard. It belongs in a museum. Maybe...a museum like OverClocked Remix, for example?

[@amansizedduck]

shoulda been in the remake

[@mastermaniac1911]

@@amansizedduck This guy should've scored the entire soundtrack in this style. I mean, there's nothing wrong with low-key music for exploration, but this would have been awesome kicking up in combat.

[@Bhethar]

2:31 This part of the track lives rent free in my mind. My ADHD brains loves it and two years after discovering it I still can play it in my head 🎉 It’s like pure energetic positive ecstasy!

[@BarneyCarroll]

This is fantastic work, thank you! I usually chafe at ‘higher resolution’ covers, but everything about this is so beautifully judged. It chimes with the soul of the original; the Numam-ish pop synth inflections after the break are surprisingly delightful, I love that consummate lift and the way the NIN-style industrial funk crunches back in. Masterful! 👏

[@Ecidemon]

This is such a lovely comment, thank you!

[@jamesmiller113]

The best remix among a sea of excellent work, from about the finest soundscape of any game

This track is a timeless banger. Even in the remake, it is the best and aside from the intro OST is the one I associate the most with System Shock

[@CrizzyEyes]

IMO, the Executive and Security tracks are the best from the _remake_ soundtrack specifically, but I believe this is the best from the original game's soundtrack

[@MacroEido]

perfect ... thank you
