UT99 - Botpack #9 (Mothership Loudspeakerz Remix)

[@chavzone]

This is so, SO GOOD. It's not a remix, it's a reimagining. Only the core themes are retained from the original, embedded into a gloriously rich and lovingly crafted new setting. I can't believe I didn't discover this sooner. I loved your Deus Ex remixes but never played UT99, so I only listened to a few of those until recently when I listened to the entire original OST on a whim, and became obsessed with Botpack #9. The slow, patient progression punctuated by a repeating lone spacecraft ping gradually drew us into a crescendo plateau of climactic intensity, wistfully echoed by a synth organ reminiscent of almost medieval-gothic memories. I was hooked. And then I found this. You've truly outdone yourself on this one. It's bold, but not frantic. It's measured, but not surgical. It's sprawling, and unbridled, but not reckless or chaotic. The prelude with the recordings (where from, incidentally?) set a gorgeous new context for the melodies, which were cautiously introduced - almost as though the notes were wearing a pair of synthetic gloves, shielded from the sharp percussion backdrop. The phases of the song reconstructed themselves so gently and gradually that its relation to the original almost slipped me by entirely! Your iteration of the track rather conjures ideas of a spacefarer's brief touchdown onto a trade and industry centre on the red planet, equal parts restful and restless before their next foray into the great abyss for their work or greater purpose. While not stranded on a locked orbit in the depths of space like the original, the same feelings of isolation are created from the faintly nostalgic, distinctly familiar cycles of the later drum loops. It's all tied together so magnificently, so detailed yet so succinct, and before I knew it, it was over. Goddamn. I'm going to need to pace myself and relisten to this a few times with speakers and better headphones when I get home next week. But I love this so much. I've done my best to describe why, because it makes me very happy, in the calm, peaceful kind of way that only the best things truly can. Maybe in a few months or years I'll try and examine this in a more articulate way, because for now I totally lack formal musical training, and I'm only vaguely grasping at literary terms to try and reflect on what is so good about this. But wow, just wow. I really hope the original artist has gotten to hear this, I think they'd be just blown away. Great, great work. It's worthy of being called its own track... Botpack #10, maybe!

Beautifully written chavzone!

cured my erectile dysfunction, thx

[@morgandraegar7301]

Someone is keeping that good ol' 90s electro vibe with a new twist. Hell yeh.

[@Walterbennet3697]

A city on Mars. Hmmm (Gets flashbacks to the UAC shenanigans.)

[@reinisrudzitis4802]

Get your ass to Mars!

[@Pekopekope]

Always come back to listen to this, it's a brilliant track.

These remixes are so good, Mothership! I really miss the days of old-school gaming with UT99

[@TheFearholy534]

Brother Mothership! You never cease to amaze me and your other subscribes!!! Well done with botpack #9! Your work is truly superb! The only thing I could imagine listening to this was the announcer saying "HOLY-SH1T". Keep up the good work! We love you man!

[@MultiMicals]

Aaaand you did it again Thank you for botpack #9, it sounds sooo good

[@FODKOM]

Time to do squats to this one

[@olgajaworska7430]

absolutely. one of my favorite tracks in gym

[@FlakonFraggs]

bruh I thought I was the only one getting gains to Mothership

[@helios6992]

5:08 a reference to the Phrakture remix ? Nice remix as always man :)

[@ethanblair981]

I thought that too, v recognisable breakbeat

[@MothershipLoudspeakerz]

Yes indeed, nice catch. It's one of my favorite remixes ever, thought a brief homage was fitting

[@helios6992]

@@MothershipLoudspeakerz yeah Phraktures remixes are absolutely excellent ! He is maybe my favorite artist and really inspired me for making music .. Anyway, nice remix ;) (but my fav one from you is still Foregone Destruction with many others)

[@spacemarineoverseer6237]

Oh, I LOVE Phrakture's remixes! As well as Mothership's))) Cudos to YOU, Mothership Loudspeakerz! Fantastic remix, as allways)))

[@SniperSnake50BMG]

4:53 I love so much piano! 6:49 beautiful drop!!!

[@nifakt1]

Great! From which anime are the episodes cut?

[@unfa00]

Just a thought - maybe if you started making some small tutorials showing how you've done some things, much more people would discover your channel? I think showing screencasts from your DAW and even explaining some stuff in text form could help your channel grow. You could also do Livestream from your music-making sessions. You don't need to show your face or voice if you don't want to, and it can still be a nice thing that maybe could push your channel forward.

[@Puddy1]

Botpack #9 down! Very solid remix, it's doing the original a lot of justice and I highly approve of that. Also, INTERLUDE II WHEN? I beg you, please.

[@Krull0r]

Superb! I love it!!!

[@ForestCatharsis]

Psy-trance + Botpack #9 = 💪🗿👍

[@arm1tag331]

Chill & chill

Where is the script from the start of the piece from? The one about Mars? Listening to this while coding all the time!

[@MothershipLoudspeakerz]

kzbin.info/aero/PLm1VM-2qaUeyWFbdaKL-PpofBWwt9qedK It's from Armitage III - Poly Matrix. Here's a playlist with the full movie and the sequel, the speech sample is found within the first 20 seconds of the first video

[@spacemarineoverseer6237]

Now THAT'S what I call The Remix!!! Got an EARGASM for the rest of the day))) CUDOS, man!!!

[@vanyaimportant669]

Awesome, as always. I like the sound layers, how you managed the remix... kinda relaxing and energising at the same time :D

[@JonasMighty]

Another amazing mix. Thanks so much Mothership

[@xanarini]

Damn inspiring, thanks for the great mix!

[@fabledorchid8410]

Smooth remix, as usual.

Omgggggg niceeeeeeeeee 😍🥰

[@STEALTHSIERRA]

Good as fuck

[@hfarthingt]

Thanks for Soundcloud link. Refuse youtube Red use soundcloud *cough cough* jailbreak too

[@hfarthingt]

Not seeing this song on Soundcloud unless Im mistaken. Found Necto Ulin. Original sounds like a mix between Avalanche 2 and K-Pax. Yours is better.

[@ethanblair981]

Spaaaaaace, thanks for this one chief, space is v dear to me and you've shown it off wonderfully here.

[@Permaviolet]

9/10 Data grimers recommend

[@SpookyWatcher]

Is it possible to listen it somewhere without ads?

[@Duke0Forever]

What's the anime from?

[@ZantetsukenGilgamesh]

CAN I GET THIS AS UMX FILE?

[@rickonami]

Awesome remix... Can anyone tell me the video is from which movie?

[@MothershipLoudspeakerz]

"Magnetic Rose", the first part of "Memories" an anime compilation movie from 1995

[@rickonami]

@@MothershipLoudspeakerz Thx man..

[@hfarthingt]

Did you sample your own voice?

[@operationblackbishop4785]

Hey, don't you have plans for Hitman games soundtrack remixes? Especially the original one would be great.

[@TheBlacktom]

LOS before liftoff? That's weird.

[@pawagnathom]

Ohh god, all those remixes wake up nostalgia in me. Where are the times when BBS were on top.

[@muchossaugus9927]

I guess this artist makes Psy-Trance remixes of the tracks? Honestly I listened to a few of the remixes and think in all cases the originals are better but what do I know. Necto Ulin is definitely better at remixing them.

[@Dm3qXY]

tell me you didn't get the spirit of the original without telling me you didn't get the spirit of the original

[@AndreyJelovovskii]

2:47 "All humane"? What "... all humane"? :D

[@Durandal117]

It's Xan from Unreal Tournament telling the player to "run, human."
