Undertale Yellow OST: 095 - Medium

[@Voidbear_FNaF_and_Undertale]

Yeah, that is a good naming thing they did

[@catalystcatastrophe6328]

Ironically, Another Medium was named after the Medium (aka the main setting) from Homestuck as Toby worked on the webcomic's music too, and it was a remix of a song in HS's soundtack. We have gone full circle.

i really like this moment, because it feels so earned. the game isn't constantly hitting you with familiar locations and nostalgia blasts, and that makes the familiarity of hotland feel all the better. it all connects back so well, and helps the new areas feel like a natural extension of undertale's world

[@datdavi]

hi kr

[@pustak7202]

i couldn't have said it better myself

[@FlamingLily]

In the traditional Hero's Journey, the Hero goes from a place of relative safety, faces the trials and tribulations, gains new knowledge and power, and returns home, or wherever the start of the story is, with that power. Undertale takes this a step further, literally departing from HOME and returning to NEW HOME, with the knowledge and power (of friendship) gained through the adventure. Undertale Yellow takes this concept EVEN FURTHER by supplanting the traditional hero's journey with one happening in the player's mind. We depart from the relative comfort of Undertale, its ruins, its Toriel. We slowly diverge from what we recognise, branching off on our own, arduous journey through hardship and combat, before finally returning to our home, what we recognise. Undertale. Hotland. New Home.

The main difference between yellow and Deltatraveler is that traveler was built on fan service while yellow wasn’t. But since yellow barely had any fan service, moments like these hit so much harder

[@X-SPONGED]

Agreed. DTr felt very much like a fangame, a well-made one don't get me wrong but obviously a fangame. UTY feels like an official entry precisely because it uses fanservice sparingly and has original characters instead of rehashing old ones. I love both, but I love this one more

[@daridon2483]

​It did a fantastic job tying lore together and giving a new perspective to Undertale and how massive the Underground actually is. Hell it somehow managed to get Red (from that one famous fangame back in the days) involved and actually give a backstory of how she became a royal guard, without interfering the main story in yellow.

[@lopeo2324]

This, this is exactly why I liked this game so much. I haven't played Undertale since 2016, and the last time I played something Undertale related was Deltarune CH2 in 2021, so I'm not the target demographic for most fangames. But this game actually felt like its own thing, It primarily revolves around its own characters, and the ones that it reuses from the original, it uses them in a natural manner. I think you could give this game to someone who hasn't ever played Undertale, and would probably enjoy it.

[@T_Dude]

Yellow is built to be a prequel to Undertale, while Deltatraveler wants to do its own thing. Both are amazing at what they do.

[@DurawaFuan]

I think Yellow being very much its own thing works IMMENSELY in its favour. The big thing about DT that turns me off is how... self-referential the humour is, like you gotta be IN the fandom to get a lot out of weed ralsei or "kris where are we" jokes i think lmao. I much prefer how pure of an experience Yellow is, it's really like they just wanted to make their own game based in the world of Undertale

There's no more surreal feeling than hearing one of the best songs from the first game in this one. When this turned on, I just sat back and had to vibe without doing anything just so I could hear it all.

[@technicallygood4620]

Oh man, this hit really really hard while playing through Yellow. The first time we see a familiar location is in the Ruins, which is done to subvert expectations mostly, showing that this will be a very different journey from Undertale. Early on, we're eased into this different underground through visits to places shown but not explorable in Undertale, such as 'that area of the ruins in the background of the toy knife room' and 'wherever the hell in Snowdin Ice Wolf is supposed to be', but a large portion of the game takes place in the Dunes, and then a good chunk is in Steamworks too. For a long time, Hotland seems like a goal, that we keep failing to reach as well, so finally making it was already satisfying, but being the second and final time we see a familiar place from Undertale made it really special. I was almost in disbelief that I was actually somewhere I could recognize, and the music brought that home. I can tell that this feeling was almost definitely intentional, because the Undertale leitmotif is somewhat prominent here, and it really feels like this game uses it way more sparingly than Undertale ever did. I also really appreciate the flourishes that make this remix feel more specific to Clover's journey, I can't recognize if they're from somewhere else on the soundtrack since I'm not super familiar with it yet, but I do really like it. This is an amazing remix of an amazing song used amazingly in an amazing game.

[@staryoshi06]

Given the fact that Chujin and Kanako's motif seems to be shared, it also ties into Ceroba's intentions for bringing you to Hotland, even though the Lab is never actually visited in Yellow (outside of one cutscene at least). The more you look the more layers there are. This soundtrack is phenomenal.

[@pikakit1]

I played Neutral first, going into this completely blind... When this theme hit, I was struck with this intense wave of powerful emotion that I had never felt before playing a video game. I experienced nostalgia... wistfulness... but also straight TERROR. Through all the fun adventuring and messing around growing to love all the characters, it finally hit me that I was in ENDGAME. And I knew from the start things were going to end badly for the little guy who was also my player character, but I could never have anticipated my emotions when I first got to this point. I trembled, teared up... I couldn't even get myself to progress forward for several minutes-- left to listen numbly to this iconic song over and over... When I finally got to the dance floor it did make me smile a little, but it didn't do much to ease the overwhelming sense of dread. Those feelings of unease only increased when I reached UG Apartments only for the music to give way to a dead silence, and spotted the trail of feathers leading to the alleyway where Catty and Bratty's shop was in the original game (and where the cowboy hat and empty gun are sold in that same game...) Thank you UTY for giving me this frightening yet truly memorable experience. I still get emotional thinking of it now. 10/10

However, when the elevator stopped and the song didn't quiet down, I got goosebumps. "Another Medium" is my favourite song from Undertale, so hearing its remix, especially after not hearing any familiar track in the new areas for such a long time, was pure bliss.

It's hard to explain what I felt the first time I heard that theme sneak in. I think that is what I felt when taking the elevator from old Aperture to new Aperture in Portal 2. Just the change of pace from this games version of The CORE, to silence and the bottom of a dilapidated Hotlands elevator. Going into it, you see the classic Undertale elevator. ... then as the elevator starts moving, the music slowly creeps in, building up the anticipation. Right as the beat drops, you take a breath, the doors open, you take a few brave steps and see a familiar sight. R3, you are back on track with Frisk's journey, with some familiar sightings as well like the tile maze or the hotel without a MTT statue because "It was added last week" by the time Frisk gets there. ... this fangame hits different.

[@ComedicNuno]

I am commenting on every single song of the Undertale Yellow Soundtrack playlist! (Read this knowing I discovered, explored and played Deltarune (in 2021) before Undertale (in 2022), which to the current day of this comment I have only watched the entirety of, but not actually played. Hence why I assume that I like Deltarune more than Undertale, because it was personal and... new, in a way, but can still feel what I would call a "fake" nostalgia from Undertale despite that). I played Undertale Yellow one time. My playthrough went across from 10/12/2023 to 26/12/2023, during a total of 15-16 days. I played it, aimed for the best, and got True Pacifist. When I finish it, I tell Flowey to wait. And get off the computer for the day. Some days pass by, and I finally start watching a True Pacifist route on YT. Some days pass by again, and I gain the courage to watch the not-so-dark path, and then the truly dark path. Some time passes once again, and I finally watch the end offered by Flawed Pacifist. Before the medium, there was another... As Clover ascends, they start pondering, feeling as if... their adventure might not be that far from over. They step out of the elevator, and a new reddish path opens to their vision in suspense... Oh do I remember this song well...! ;) How could I ever forget one of my most, if not THE most, heard non-battle music of UTY?! So, background storytime! Everyone loves "Another Medium", right? That is track from Undertale that I can feel it took a lot of time for people to notice it. Back in 2015-2016 (a period when I wasn't around these parts, just to clarify), I could definitely see people still not being aware of how well composed "Another Medium" was and is, still chewing on their "Hopes and Dreams"' and "MEGALOVANIA"'s and whatnot. That song just spells out "hidden gem" to me. It's the best area theme from Undertale, without a shadow of a doubt (for me, at least). In my opinion, if there's one track from UT I think aged like fine wine, then that's "Another Medium". I never really connected the song to where it plays, in Hotland I mean. Knowing my circumstances with UT, I got attached to the piece... solely because it's genuinely fricking good music, objectively I'd even say, though I can't speak for all on that matter. So, knowing this, you can already make out a rough sketch of my reaction towards the moment that "Medium" plays! Finally seeing the elevator again (after so many back and forth shenanigans), the lights flickering, clearly indicating that no one was attending to the Steamworks for a good while, I clearly recognised it, and I am not talking about the elevator ride with that crab-walking guy back in the East Mines. It was a... long elevator. I wasn't expecting anything but the atmospheric sound of the metal box going up (ah look it's the name of the other one!). But then... a quiet and unusual howling echoes through, and familiar notes fade in, increasing in volume as the ride goes on. My eyes went wide. I could not believe my ears! One of my most beloved songs from UT, remade to fit a different vibe, a different medium. Just a tiny stretch of a so so-so-notorious motif at 0:12 and... The drums hit three banging swings. Clover steps out at this very moment, and there... this is where "Medium" truly begins. Logically contrasting, but "Medium" is just the enhancement that I didn't know "Another Medium" could use! And yet, I do not mean that one replaces the other. I was gonna say that the first thing that "Medium" owns over "Another Medium" is the crescendo at the beginning, until I go listen to "Another Medium" and see that it was always there... Off to a great start :D (I'm intertwining by listening to both while writing this and it's kinda fun!) The howling at the beginning of "Medium" does some good to it, even though I think that part was only changed because of the impact of the elevator entrance (and BOY did it have an impact!). About the enhancements, it generally comes down to adding depth to the already existing instruments, like more lines of instruments, a pleasant octave or key change and, most of all, the addition of motifs! Generally speaking, that's what differentiates the two musical pieces. And it's not like all of these changes are necessarily direct improvements. After all, it IS difficult to make a track that is already perfect to be even better. The added motifs are specially what amuses me the most! The constant times that the UT motif appears for just that couple of notes, like at 0:12, 0:23, 0:38 and 1:37, just add that little sweet flavor that the track didn't need in the first place, but is welcomed anyway! And... if we're really talking about motifs here, I can't let, by my dear life, the one at 1:45 go by. None other... than the Ketsukane leitmotif. It's really sneaky actually, I almost let it pass thinking it was just some random set of notes included in the original iteration. What to make of this? It could make total sense, or any sense at all. I changed my mind a bit. I accept that changes regarding the sound of the instrument are just as amazing! The drums bang harder, the chorus is even grander, the sounds feel even more mechanical! Everything sounds so... enhanced! It gives just that little difference that makes you gain a new respect for the original, as well as the altered version and, most of all, brings home an unparalleled familiar feeling that hits you right in the depths of your soul (even for me, and the origin of my connection with it is not even THAT strong)! We've been through some tunes that offer an new look into already existing pieces, most of them, seen a long time ago, "Quiet Stray", "Enemy Approaching (Yellow)", "Ruins (Yellow)", etc. Many of these are very simple altered versions, the barely change anything in the grand scheme and sequence of the song. "Medium", on the other hand, is quite the game changer. It follows an identical pattern, but it changes quite a lot compared to the others that went through the same process. It's like Mr.Sword here knew this track was a banger that they just went "screw it, I'm bettering it." Ok, maybe I'm being a little harsh, 'cause "Enemy Approaching (Yellow)" also changes a lot (maybe as much as "Medium, even). However, there is one last thing that has to be compared between the two variants. A very important one. So important that I'm making a paragraph specifically dedicated to it. "Another Medium" sounds amazing, but the bar is kinda low when it comes to being exciting. Which is fair, many dangers lie ahead for the seventh human. Enemies, puzzles, triggers and switches. "Medium", however, while still maintaining the identity of Hotland, turns up the heat with higher-pitch instruments, many of which make the track feel more...sympathetic and even entertaining! What do I conclude? That both the mediums make their own evaluation of their whereabouts, and that evaluation, is these two tracks. The seventh, prone to many threats that will put them to the test, it will be challenging and difficult. The sixth, free from high-risk situations and inclined to explore, it will be adventurous. That's not my main conclusion, though. This is what is is. While the closing of "Another Medium" follows a calming, silent, preparing and solemn, as it ties with closer tumbles... "Medium", instead of going down the same route... it skyrockets up! To the farthest it can! The sky is the limit! Shining hope blinds even the lights! Nothing in this world could have prepared me for this. It's by far the most drastic change made on the song, and possibly the hardest any other song had/will have. When I heard it for th first time, I was in shock. I stopped for a moment to just process that! The ascension... it's... magical... otherworldly! I was in awe by this saying "I can't believe they found a way to make it better...". The fact that ending aims so high, and makes it feel just as right as the end of "Another Medium", maybe even more... To this day, I still can't tell if "Medium" is better than "Another Medium". I am incapable of saying which one is superior, and I don't think I ever will... fortunately. ...

It's crab hour! It's crab hour! (...is this a reference to Crab Rave that I just got...?) Hotland looks the closest to a full blown city from all that Clover has seen until now. Right at the entrance, a mail post. Clover got a letter from Axis this time! What could he want to sa- ... Well this won't work. Axis I know you probably had something really important to say, but we'll have to save it to another time. Are you seriously able to feel emotions (or something closer to it), but you can't take a pen and write on paper? Heck, even putting a printer to work? Ya gotta work on that my dude. To the far left, a comically big house sits by. Clover recognises the owner from the counter of the Saloon in the Wild East. Despite apreciating his advice and being glad that they seemingly moved on from their rivalry with that square robot, they can't help but be a little concerned about how he was broke just a few hours ago, and now has a giant house for him... The left path still continues, now... in purple? It briefly reminded Clover of a certain place... but they can't exactly remember what place. Not only Hotland seems to be a big city, but it appears to house all kinds of monsters, bet the business in this part of the Underground is as great as the size of the land itself! Nevertheless, spiders are impeding the way to the left. They say the spider house is under construction. The deputy still feels chills when they realize how much influence the spiders in this realm must have...Vending business, construction... Following down from the entrepreneur, there's a floor platform, with various square-shaped colored tiles that change... like a dance floor...? The crabs must be having a hell of a time, even the weather here is kinda tempered so- OH MYY GOD THAT'S EL BAILADOR HE'S RIGHT THERE!!!!! He really has a place for him after all, Club DANZA! I knew we would see each other again, old friend! He seem to be holding up just right, the monters seem to enjoy coming to his disco! He what?! He gave Clover VIP access?! This guy is the best! Unfortunately, our ex-sentinel of silence hasn't dance for a good while, they got a bit rough at it since El Bailador last showed up. Although, if they just concentrate, still and... YOO CLOVER IS HITTIN THOSE MOVES!!!!!!! El Bailador looks at them with a proud feeling. Clover cannot really confirm it since they were once again lighting up the stage, but they swore they saw El Bailador shed a tear when he turned around. Our deputy, though, isn't quite on the clock as they should be (especially because they don't even know what time it is). With a genuine smile, they wave goodbye at El Bailador, who waves back and bows in respect to their disciple. Clumsily, Clover bows back at their best professor. Only way to go is up from where they entered... Ah, there it is! The floor is all feathered up, leading to the alley on the right. The young traveller decides to check on the huge building first... "UG APPARTEMENTS" (03/05/2024)

[@kryyto6587]

I think it depends on your tastes, both track surely are great. I personally prefer lower tones track so Another Medium will always hit different for me, but Medium is a great alternate track with great leitmotif ^^

[@ComedicNuno]

@@kryyto6587 Oh for sure! Another Medium basically sets the ground anyway! I don't know how to say it, but I just feel that Medium grasps on a more fulfilling and adventurous side of Hotland, which would fit since it's a completely new area for Clover, one on which they don't stay for long, so the few things they see end up being their only vision of the place. Another Medium fits its use because of the futuristic feel it has to it, and how prolonged it is goes well with how much time you take to traverse Hotland in that other case.

[@RandomClems]

After sitting in the room with the disco flooring watching Clover dance for 10 hours you really start to appreciate this song.

[@EvilMC10]

2:22 something about this motif that makes me feel extra sad

I like to called that the Justice motif cause its First in the Justice song

Introduction of hotland in this game is just amazing. I dropped a tear at this moment, you've even created beatiful timings for music to kick in.

[@lulu_dash6]

i don't know why, but the ending part (starting here 2:19) gives me chills every time i hear it. this is perfection

[@NothingGgs0]

it's the "Justice" motif

[@lulu_dash6]

[@alejandrite9]

another medium is my favorite undertale track so this song is like really good, and the context of finally being "back on track" in uty just makes it even better

[@LeefLett]

This song perfectly encapsulates what Undertale Yellow means to me. Hearing this song was like experiencing it for the first time again which is exactly how I feel about yellow. It’s like playing Undertale for the first time again.

[@gamertypeawesome]

You've been trying to get here since like snowdin and the area's main song only plays in 5 rooms, 3 of which are optional 😭

[@jamesrocks130]

I find it funny that this barely plays because you're in hotland for like 2 seconds. Y'all made a banger for no reason

[@AmranAziz-c9g]

Ceroba and Starlo:(Having a serious problem) Martlet:(Still waiting) Clover:Haha Dance!

[@laseryo3099]

Hotland, the climax of your adventure. This music represents this sense completely, the multiple part in it are absolutely powerful later when you know every ending.

[@WGY_Games]

You have no idea how hyped I got when I heard this

[@Cuz_whynot173]

Love how its called medium as this takes place before undertale so we have “medium” in undertale yellow while we have “another medium” in undertake

[@segafan1316]

This was a religious experience

2:22 here is my YELLOW

Clover's little dance easter egg made me cheer they are honestely a much better protagonist than Frisk

"Okay, ive entered an Elevator. I wonder where ill end u- HOLY SHIT"

[@MarcoAntonioColioGallardo]

When i stepped off the elevator and saw it said "R3" plus this theme begining in the background, you can say i was a bit more than excited.

[@jak2gooberglub]

Seeing Heats flamesman was such a pay off tbh. it was great! All of the callbacks in this area of the game are amazinggg

[@PixelShiftss]

I do wish we had a bit more of actual hotland, if you don’t talk to anymore your only hearing this song for like 15 seconds

[@Eventlesstew]

I love how the beginning with the once upon a time motifs welcomes you back on track, then the song plays with a more joyful, soulful tone as this is the hotland before Mettaton came and shoved in his sets and propaganda everywhere. Later on, we hear Martlet’s leitmotif which is a simple reminder that she’s close by, waiting for you on UG Apartments’ rooftops. The end of the song also tells you that your journey isn’t exactly over yet as you’ve still gotta reach ASGORE. (/get your entire journey reset by the flower who turned the underground into a dystopian puppet house or lead Ceroba to a way out from her endless tunnel)

[@ohno529]

How it feels to explore your old minecraft worlds:

[@marcosandrey5059]

I love how after a long unkown desert and a percursor to the core we get something familiar we know and love before diving into the unkown again also clover has some moves

[@drybones4930]

This remix improved the song so much for me.

[@jd19902010]

VERY good track! Leitmotif of "Justice" in te end - the best part! IMHO.

[@D00DM00D]

BRO, THAT ELEVATOR RIDE WAS SO EPIC

[@ДенисДзандзава-я4б]

I remember playing the game and when this track came in, it just hit me hard. I knew what was coming. The moment I stepped out of that elevator and saw the familiar place, I knew this is end game. The mere thought of what was about to happen to Clover, doubled with this track almost made me tear up. Little did I know, I would cry for real and pretty soon.

[@necromancerleam]

The part where this fades in when you ride the elevator for the first time... Holy fucking shit. It helps that Another Medium is easily one of my top favorites in the Undertale OST. I just sat there in awe as all the memories and feelings of that first Undertale playthrough all those years ago came right back and hit me harder than a damn supernova, I probably looked like I was having a Vietnam flashback I was so stunned...

[@wolfkitty42]

The nostalgia that hit me was wild.

[@cyonofgaia]

Reaching this part of the game evoked a sense of familiarity within me. You'd love to see a bit of Hotland pre-Mettaton. (Vents are not in the game!)

[@bastiallwin8576]

Not yet

[@wisteri_]

1:45 the ceroba leitmotif???? in the background????? did not notice that first time playing and martlet’s at 1:56 and justice at 2:22

[@Prushka01]

2:22 is actually some point of no return.

[@Bluedino152]

Short brain: its "medium" because the one later in the timeline is "another medium" Big brain: its just "medium" because its in the same medium as undertale vs another mediumnad doctor and patient were (Honestly it could probably be either)

[@tevolozza4446]

The fact that this soundtrack is actually played in like, 3 rooms, shows the huge dedication from the team ❤

0:24 UNDERTALE LEITMOTIF GOES SO HARD IN THE FLUTES

[@confuzedduk1008]

I only got a short time with the nostalgia of Hotland, but oh boy was it nostalgic. After most of the game is over, after the only things that were reused from Undertale were at the very beginning, hearing Another Medium was perfect. A short burst of nostalgia before the finale.

[@farifern]

another medium is my favorite track from undertale, so getting to hear the almost exact same intro here was so awesome

[@witids]

another another medium

Dark Ruins: Land of Stone and Darkness Lower Snowdin: Land of Ice and Trees Dunes: Land of Sand and Justice Steamworks: Land of Robots and Steam Ruins: Land of Puzzles and Autumn Upper Snowdin: Land of Bones and Mountains Waterfall: Land of Trash and Frogs Hotland: Land of Heat and Clockwork

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

Huh. I figured that Waterfall had more in common with Wind and Shade. Snowdin is also just Frost and Frogs without the volcano.

[@GSavel]

​@@infinityheart_tm9270Waterfall being LOWAS and Upper/Lower Snowdin being LOFAF is a little bit of a stretch (though not too much of a strech) compared to Hotland, which is literally LOHAC

[@aethous9163]

There's no way to describe how good this soundtrack was introduced in game, how amazing it is, but... 2:22 This, this is the part that made it into masterpiece, feeling of upcoming Finale, THE END of your journey is so close, and you're ready for it as never before

[@Captain.Dank64]

I am playing this game rn and when this track started playing I was VIBING

[@npmastergd]

Another banger

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

This is the equivalent of finally getting on the top route in a Sonic Game after being stuck on the lower route for so long. That’s not even a joke. Undertale Yellow is literally just the lower route

[@autistic_potato1037]

Holy shit!

[@MrNiceGuy--]

I really like how 1:44 they use both Ceroba and Martlet's leitmotifs even if Martlet's is hard to hear but it as at 1:55

[@KameronDraws]

I absolutely love that its called “Medium” for the follow up to “Another Medium” in regular Undertale

[@RobloxAccount-w2i]

We didn't get to go to the CORE (bummer, because i really bet a uty core theme would go insanely hard), but we still got another medium, or, medium, and that's fine by me

I guess thats why its called another medium bcus ut yellow made it first lmao we first got medium, then toby realized he was copying ut yellow (real so he called it ANOTHER medium or it was asgore prob

Nah its called a other medium because of the homestuck track "medium", hotland was also heavily based on a homestuck location so the reference makes sense

As much as I love this track, it's kind of ruined Another Medium for me, because now whenever I listen to the 1:45 part in Another Medium, I can't help but sing the Ceroba and Martlet themes.
