Risk of Rain 2 has a masterpiece of a soundtrack. That being said, "They Might as Well be Dead" is MUST, it is amazing and is my personal fav.
this person gets it, that shit makes my head spin i love that track to bits
Ashes to ashes to ashes (to ashes) is my favorite
I agree, that track is mainly the reason why sundered grove is my favourite stage
Facts. The OST is literally the only thing saving sundered grove.
Once in a lullaby my fav personally
"Don't get overconfident, you're still on an alien planet" - this phrase just described average RoR2 run, which often ends in a single milisecond just for this reason.
I also very recommend to listen to "They might as well be dead", very atmospheric and chill.
For sure, i remember vividly a great run i had with the sniper, thinking i was invincible and everything. And all it took was one of those hopping-jumping buggers to catch me in midair and melt my HP from full to dead.

Me grinding to get e8 merc
@@gameworldjtthe worst is getting shotgunned by a beetle queen, so embarrassing 😔
Or it ends instantly because an elder lemurian appears behind you. Or you trigger teleported and get horde of perfected blind pests.
“A certain massiveness in terms of scale” if only he saw the stage this song plays on
I love when commenters describe stuff from the game for me, so feel free. I don't always have the time or interest to check out all games outside of the music.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficialhe stage is called Sky Meadow and it is a set of floating islands suspended in a seemingly endless void of clouds. It's also a sort of transitional stage, as in the base game it is the only way to access the final boss stage, which can be found on one of the planet's moons and is where con lentitud plays.
EDIT: double checked and the islands aren't actually floating, they are suspended by pillars of rock that disappear beneath the cloud layer.
Don't forget that you also have the best view of the moon where the boss fight happens due to how high in the sky you are. Plus it's one of, if not, the biggest maps horizontally.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficialIt is a giant connected pair of islands set in a purple colored scheme with bright pink/purple clouds. It is native to majestic creatures and alien mechanical constructs, the color purple really vibes with this stage and the music, and its name royally ties together.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial to put it simply the stage is big
Finally, a simply amazing soundtrack reacted to by a simply amazing musician, I hope you listen to more from Chris, his work is truly a masterpiece
Yes. Everything from Chris is so good. I personally love the soundtrack from Deadbolt, it's so full of vibes.
It really is a shame that all of the content made by gearbox wont have him making the music.
@@gamerargus9391deadbolt ost is amazing
@@RapidProbably that's absolutely brutal
Deadbolt was mentioned
Something about Undead Man Walking encapsulating the gameplay really hits me.
Some extra context for Con Lentitude Ponderosa: it is not only a reference to Chopin, but also to the final act piece from Risk of Rain 1, Coalescence. The final boss of the first game was Providence, the leader and protector of all the monsters; a more chaotic, sympathetic being. The boss this time is his brother Mithrix, the architect and master of the constructs; a more cold, judgemental being. The difference between the two, as well as the tragedy of their story, is reflected in the music.
So I was right.
(Heavy Reverb)
CHOPIN IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficialsome of the dlc tracks are quite literally Chopin lmao
@@miguelonfiddleit would be funny if he listened to the whole soundtrack and got to Prelude or Who Can Fathom and say “oh, literally Chopin”. I hope he gets to more of his music!
and it's really make sense for the title of the final boss Mithrix king of nothing.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficialthere is actually a song in risk of rain 2 called “Köppen As f”
Man, I remember day one after the release of risk of rain 2's "final boss" update and experiencing con lentitud poderosa for the first time. Honestly no other experience like it. It was just such a change initially from the previous tracks, and then the drop.
even better originally, back when there was just a path to the boss. the tunnel was longer, and if you nosed around a bit and took your time (likely on your first time being here), chances would be the drop would happen RIGHT as you reached the outside.
Man that when that update dropped with mithrix that was probably the first time I felt that way about any soundtrack in any games
@@thorveim1174yes this happened to me because i was taking my time. Very close to perfectly on time. Absolute chills.
Also have to add there is nothing like teleporting to the final stage and running through that quiet tunnel with only the sounds of that piano, your feet hitting the ground hopped up on goat hooves and energy drinks, maybe the buzzing of a tesla coil or wax quail or hopoo jumps, the constant sounds of fire and tougher times on a hellfire run. The sounds all complement each other so well. Enchanting on every entrance.
Man I miss the old moon stage
So, its cool that you chose to listen to these songs in particular. The Rain Formerly Known as Purple plays on the second to last level in the base game, and it does sound like your almost there, but there's still a bit more to go before you're done.
con lentitud poderosa plays on the final level in the base game, and honestly I don't think it even needs a descriptor. It is perfect.
I always love stage 5 the most solely because of the music, it’s just so good
I’m 4 months late but the only reason stage 5 is even good is just because the music
@@ProReel135 Sky Meadow all day long.
If you do another reaction to risk of rain 2 music, highly recommend "They might as well be dead" and "a glacier eventually farts" because they are both awesome.
YES someoene reccomending A Glacier Eventually Farts. The dreadful, depressig atmosphere is so thick and then you get that ONE electric guitar chord that pierces through it all... it's just fantastic.
@@FinnishArsonist (And Don't You Listen To The Song Of Life)
Interesting fact about ...con letitude: it actually uses the motif of a song from the first game called Coalescence, both songs also play on the final stages of their respective games, which are also both strangely melancholic places compared to the rest of the games settings(the first game being on the remains of the ship your character was brought to the planet on, now only inhabited by enemies, with the original crew either dead or stranded on the planet below. While the second game takes place on a desolate moon orbiting the planet, in the ruins of an ancient civilization, which now act as a prison for a powerful creature, who is also the last thing standing between you and escape.)
Fun fact about that motif: There isn't a single song in either soundtrack that doesn't use it.
@@The_Blazelighteryep, really ties it all in from begging and end. All other songs have a main sound to them with this motif accompanying them. In the first and last songs, it is the main sound. Really exceptionally beautiful.
@@The_Blazelighter that really cements the idea that it's not just the theme of the planet, but the theme of the Brothers, more so providence (also Acrid in ror2 is actually still alive, they're the unlockable acrid in ror2)
Both the times, I felt a sense of "They gave up. Now all that remains is **Him** and thats it."
I would *kill* to hear full covers of just about any song from risk of rain 2 from you, especially now that I've heard the snippits you did in this.
Also loving your song choices. You consistently manage to pick out the most recognizable, iconic songs for pretty much any game on your first reaction.
Thank you! I might just consider some covers indeed. Re: song choices, the community has very heavy involvement in that.
same with risk of rain 1! very underrated
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial 'They Might As Well Be Dead' from the 'Survivors of the Void' DLC
I love that Chris goes so hard on the music for a game that encourages you to rush through the levels as fast as possible.
Only on Eclipse. On normal cool to loot full stage and chill
@@3da1G id say you’re encouraged more to full loot on eclipse
@@tillburr6799yeah otherwise you’ll be dead real fast. No items no live.
@@tillburr6799 nah full loot usually just is a waste, loot as much as you can, and if the rest of the loot is on the complete other side of map just ignore it and move on
@@sixHundhred depends on your mobility
ngl was watching along like any other reaction video then you started fucking jamming out with the electric violin and now im IN BRO, aint seen shit like that before
Welcome aboard!
The Rain Formerly Known as Purple is an obvious reference to prince, but the end also has a bunch of Purple Rain in it as well.
YOU ACTUALLY DID IT! I never expected my request to actually go into a video! you are by far my favorite youtuber out there and you have earned my subscription
It was yours and everyone's request, a team effort.
Wow...I never knew that 'The Rain Formerly Known as Purple' had such a beautiful ending!
By the time the guitar solo starts heating up I'm thinking I gotta get goin or I'm gonna get one shot by an overloading brass contraption
it is an omage to the ending of Prince's Purple Rain, you should listen to both of them thoroughly to enjoy the connections
That part definitely never plays in game.
@@Virixas_sad
The Rain Formerly Known as Purple will always have a special place for me. To this day I’ve never had music sync so well for me. Right as the music pulled back at 6:02 was when I hit the teleporter to continue looping and I couldn’t help but smile because I knew the timing was dead on. An overloading worm erupting out of the ground to the drop of the beat was what cemented the ost as something I won’t forget.
Damn I need to play the game.
Dude, that electric violin looks sick. Also just casually adding onto the songs with your own instrument and it actually sounding really good is a huge flex.
Worth noting that "...con lentitud poderosa" is a cover of the theme from the 1st game, a song called "Coalescence", by the same artist.
The funniest part about this soundtrack to me is that Chris made 8 minute long bangers for each stage in a game where you want to spend as little time on a stage as possible
Which works well cause most of the songs ramp up in intensity and if you've been on a stage for about 8 minutes then your situation has most likely also ramped up in intensity lol
@@arkvoodleofthesacredcrotch6060yeah
I was playing through RoR2 with a friend and we went to the final stage for his first time. He’d picked up a hell fire tonic and had stacked so many tonic afflictions he slowed to crawl whenever the tonic wasn’t up. So making our way out of the temple took so much time that we only made it out just as Con Lentitud Poderosa really hit the moment. It was such a powerful moment, coming out onto the surface with music somehow in sync.
Hellfire tonic is the AOE burn, you mean Spinel Tonic?😅
If you get a tonic and 4 gestures (unlocked by making hermit crabs walk off a cliff) you get 100% uptime on it
@@Raegoerpretty sure you need 6 gestures and fuel cells for 100% uptime
So like 2 fuel cells and 4 gestures or 3 and 3 any combo will do
@@crane2152yes, but final phase Mythrix and still fuck you up when he steals your items, so be careful
@@crane2152with 5 gestures its enough
Honestly if you like the music this much, I dont think anyone would be adverse to the idea of you doing a full OST reaction. All the songs are so wonderfully created that I listen through the entire soundtrack over and over all the time. Chris Christodoulou not only singlehandedly composed and played all of the guitar, keyboard/piano, drums, and synth in all the songs, but also mixed it all as well. If you were to only listen to a few more songs though, I would personally recommend you pick from Terra Pluviam, Koppen As F*ck, Hydrophobia, Antarctic Oscillation, and You're Gonna Need A Bigger Ukulele if you want some more of the rock side of the soundtrack. Some of the more chill songs like Thermodynamic Equilibrium, Evapotranspiration, Disdrometer, and Parjanya would be good picks if you want less of the rock and more synth. But literally every single song from the games is phenomenal. Even Petrichor V, which is just an ambience white noise track for when you beat the game is great. You absolutely have to listen to more of this game
Yeah I'd be totally in love with a full OST reaction DLC included.
Please do this:)
yeah i hate seeing someone "react" to a soundtrack but it's only 2 songs
i always get a wicked grin when people in the know of musical production or creation sit down and really can feel out the skill on display for RoR2's soundtrack
I always do love seeing people react to RoR2s mind-boggling OST, though I always wonder each time I look at one of these videos,
did they see the reference of purple rain?
After 1 listen of Purple Rain by Prince and 1 listen of The Rain Formerly Known as Purple, you can see the "slight" referencing in it.
Although I respect his musical legacy, I never really got into Prince's music (personal preference) so it wasn't familiar to me but good info to know.
Every time he whips out the v-olin it feels like popping open champagne
Did Violin have a distinct name?
@@onerxowns2202 Bartolomeo Costanza the III
The way you talk about the purposes that the songs feel like they should serve is 100% spot on. Every time you predict the function of a song you are correct, which speaks to your intuition as a musician and the quality of the music.
Since not a lot of people do it, I highly recommend the Subnautica soundtrack. It is sooo slept on tbh
I second this
OH HELL YEA!
Subnautica’s ost is SO atmospheric, it’s so good
RoR 's coalescence still ends up being one my favorite musical pieces to this day, with RoR2's con lentitud poderosa being a beautiful successor of sorts to the former
was literally just listening to your reactions of the Pizza Tower ost and I was wondering if you did Risk of Rain yet, best coincidence ever
Into the Doldrums and Terra Pluviam are two more iconic tracks from the OST that I feel like are often overshadowed. Would recommend pretty much the entire Risk of Rain OST (including the first game) but definitely check out those two tracks if you want more!! ;)
I have to agree, some of the best tracks imo
always good to see fellow Terra pluviam enjoyers
ive played risk of rain 2 for over a thousand hours and i still get goosbumps whenever im hearing the soundtrack, its so great, phenomenal
God. The way you picked up on and mentioned about the final song being a reveal, a change or introduction of a character, and I think that's so perfectly fitting to the way the song was initially presented in the game. On release, the stage that the song played on was very different to the one that exists now, and it feels so much to me like this song was written for that first initial stage.
The way the stage is laid out, is that you walk out of a long corridor where you can't see much of anything, up a large staircase and then past crumpled over pillars with just a glimpse of the outside. You know from the teleporter before being "aligned with the moon" and seeing the shattered moon in the sky on the previous stage, that something happened here, but as the song first brings in the acoustic sounds, you step outside and get to see the moon, fractured in pieces held together by tendrils of light, beneath you a bridge, impossibly tall and longer than anything else you've seen in the game up to that point, with barely an enemy to be seen.
As you walk along it, the towering figure of some kind of structure begins to loom more and more over you, and as you finally walk up to it, see a sword almost identical to the one wielded by the final boss of the previous game, the tragedy of what became of them and what happened here, the music finally drops and you slowly float up further away from the ground to look into a giant arena.
It so perfectly captures the exact feelings it needs to. Reading the lore entries and whatnot give you more details into what tragedy indeed took place, but just seeing the moon itself shattered into pieces, walking up to the last thing still standing there as the music keeps pace, with nothing else to really challenge you as you just march to that end, it just so perfectly gets across that feeling and works together with the music.
It was changed eventually later, to be more game-y. Enemies became more of a threat and you had to charge beacons to get up to the fight and whatnot. The map was changed to be more filled out and not as long of a trek. But I'll never forget hearing the song for the first time and making that march to the end of something that had long since ended.
I also love that the soundtrack also plays a factor in the game, as when the music gets more intense, that's a queue that you've spent too much time on the stage. It's a masterpiece of a soundtrack that just keeps on giving!
24:04 Those words about space lullaby in RoR reminds only about Purity item description
It says:
*It looks like starseed, tanning in dirt.*
*It smells like hot stone, and tall grass.*
*It tastes like spiced fruit, sweet and hot.*
*It feels like solar winds, and solar chimes.*
*It sounds like two brothers, chasing glass frogs in the sun.*
Yes, I've wanted to see this for a long time. The risk of rain 2 ost revised my love for music and it's thrilling to see it get attention from other talented music producers
Side note: If you want to check out more songs from this game may I recommend "Once in a lullaby" "They might as well be dead" and "A boat made from a sheet of newspaper"😊
Chris Christodoulou did some music for the game deadbolt and when i listen the song i imediately think of Risk of Rain because is style is so characteristic. the song is named "the provervial dust bitters"
17:07 being such a love of this soundtrack it pleases me to see that you are playing along with the track and not stealing the glory but melding yourself intricately into the song like you are a part of it. well done!
Rain formerly Known as Purple has a arpeggiating piano motif and an ascending guitar motif from Prince's Purple Rain which i think is really cool. Im also once again asking for monster hunter tri's Ceadeus Theme Moonquake cus its just so good.
You're one of the rare few people I see acknowledge this
Yes! Absolutely more Risk of Rain 2 please! I deeply love, and recommend, the song "Once in a Lullaby" if you end up doing more.
Probably my favorite DLC song
coalescence
All of the DLC songs are amazing. My personal fav is "They Might as Well be Dead"
@@sin-jay733 deff the best song in dlc imo
the face of the deep is so good
Fun fact the original name for "your gonna need a bigger ukulele", was "once a lullaby". Funny he mentioned it as a space lullaby
_...and his music was electric._
Loved listening to this. The atmosphere to me felt a lot like Blade Runner. You were right about it being perfect for your improvs. Amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you RG!
Vangelis was one of Chris Christodoulou's primary influences
con lentitud ponderosa’s first half is realizing the amount of blood that’s on your hands.
The second half is realizing that blood will never wash off.
I just happened upon this channel early before work, and -I'm- mesmerized by your little extra additions to the music. I love hearing people's reactions, but you also transformed the music beyond. Just wow
"Purple formerly known as Rain" giving me some Jazz-Wave vibes, like chill 80-s (also i can hear Rain in this music)
the joy I felt seeing you pull out the electric violin to jam out - what a perfect combination!
Con letidud parasosa does ita job perfectly, it plays on the most lore imporotant area and introduces the lore and preparing you for minos where you're gonna need a bigger ukelele plays which in itself does a great job
Please do more! The ones in the "Survivors of the void" DLC are amazing as well, the composer explores different ideas while mantaining the formula and expanding on it, its wonderful.
The relaxation in question: 17 elder lemurians running around in the Sky Meadows
If I had to be honest about why I love specifically “the rain formerly known as purple” it’s because it was the turning point of the soundtrack for me. I played through the game and really enjoyed the music, but when I got to the level with this track it just kind of quietly started and I ran through the level fighting guys and basically ignoring it. It’s basically asking you to forget about it so it can sit in the back of your head, and when you finally notice the music again you don’t even realize you’ve been moving to the beat for several minutes now, and it just hits you like a bag of bricks with how groovy it is. After hearing the whole track through I was able to listen back to the rest of the soundtrack feeling more in tune with the music then when I started.
This was my experience as well. It feels like music that is playing in the background of a dream.
Holy shit, new to the channel and seeing that electric violin come out and realizing you were going to play along was so exciting. What a pleasant surprise. The instrument is amazing, and you play it so well. What a cool element to add to your reaction, a real conversation with the music.
I love watching your videos! I wanna get into music and making my own and seeing you explain everything that’s going on is just fascinating! :)
Go for it!
I literally listened to this soundtrack for the first time earlier this week this is witchcraft
25:25 "it's like you're introducing a new character" oh me oh my, that is so brutally correct. Him and all of plot unfolding right in front of you when you step out of that corridor.
Insanely well designed by the entire team.
"Chopin in space" has got to be the best description of the behinning of con lentitud poderosa that ive heard. Made me chuckle a bit.
About 2 hours into the game and I fear the day when I get to the stage where "The Rain Formerly Known as Purple" comes in and I die because of distraction
*days
It's gonna happen more than once :p
@@arkvoodleofthesacredcrotch6060 stopped my attempts at finishing the game 2 months ago after getting sent to the shadow realm by grandparent like 3 times
I think one of my favourite parts about 23:53 is that it hits at a point in the level where you move from a more sheltered, quiet, cold entrypoint on the stage, with no enemies, and finally emerge to see the rest of the level, which features huge grand structure where you will eventually face off against the final boss. It's timed pretty well in that regard, and it feels so amazing every time.
for the second track, that is the final level music, its a big set up to not only give you the wonder of the level but to hype up the final boss.
You absolutely earned yourself another subscriber because seeing the way you react to the music genuinely makes me feel like I’m sitting down with a friend to vibe and appreciate the art of sound. Also the covers you done were glorious, can’t wait to vibe with you more, keep up the awesome work!
I call the first one you reviewed “the one that goes ‘dudu beeewo beewo beeewobeeeeeee’”
The Purple Rain solo, featured in The Rain Formerly Known as Purple, is in my top 5 greatest guitar riffs of all time. It’s absolutely legendary.
Loved your reactions and commentary on the tracks... but heck amazing job playing along with them too! A+
Thanks so much!!
I love that if you go on youtube and go to the official upload for the rain formally know as purple, at tge end of the video you can see the love symbol flash as the screen fades out, the entire song plays out like a love letter to his music
I just discovered this channel through the algorithm. Absolutely lovely breakdown and I could see by your eyes and facial reactions how much you enjoyed the music. The rain formerly known as purple is my favorite ost (one of all time honestly) so I'm glad that's one of the ones you reacted to ❤
I really really hope he does the survivors of the void dlc soundtrack for this game! It has my favorite pieces by far!
God i just started the video, heard those like 2 notes and immediately got ready for that drop. Chris Christodolou makes such good music, especially for the Risk of Rain series
My son bought me the Risk of Rain 2 triple vinyl album for Father’s Day. He’s the best.
I have never heard that instrument in my life but its absolutely divine. Beautiful work here.
I would highly recommend Fathomless tomb from Deep Rock Galactic. Honestly just gives me chills
So glad you're reacting to this! If you do a part 2 of this the theme of the final boss "We're gonna need a bigger ukulele" is insanely good, I think you'd love it!
This music hits different when you know the lore of the game…
having listened to this OST for hundreds of hours, your addition felt near perfect since you understood the music pretty much at its core.
When you said that the start of con lentitud poderosa was like astronauts playing in spaces was perfect. In the game, you find out that Mithrix and the previous game's last boss, Providence were brothers. Not only that but they had a connection, with one of the item's description saying "Two brothers, chasing glass frogs in the sun.", but in the end they had conflicting ideologies. Providence, obsessed with life and soul, and Mithrix, obsessed with power and practicality, which ended with Providence imprisoning Mithrix in the moon.
Such a great soundtrack all in all, i do hope we get more of this OST reacted to ;3
Live your insights especially about radiohead
I know I’m super late to the party here, but the electric violin addition to Con Lentitude Ponderosa was so beautiful! I would appreciate any recommendations of similar violin pieces
i really love that electronic violin rendition that you add in. Like , genuinely.
I'd love to see you react to some of the boss themes from risk of rain 2.
"Thermodynamic equilibrium" and "the face of the deep". This game has so much more bangers.
Edit: I always love how your eyes look like they need to see the music more.
I never get tired of watching you react to game music, it's always lovely seeing your reactions AND you playing along with it. I'd love to see your reaction to some more Guilty Gear tracks, I personally recommend Freesia and Still In the Dark!
One thing i have to REALLY elaborate is the scenery we get with con lentitud poderosa. After fighting hoards of monsters on 5 different stages you finally get to the last stage, you appear in an insanely huge room with a slope in front of you going upwards, once you reach the end of the slope you go through a long tunnel with some broken down pillars and ruin-like structures on the walls, but otherwise empty.
Then when you finally get to the end of that tunnel, you are hit by the full view of the very bright and white moon in front of you, contrasting the dark and wet area you just left, hitting you with the electric guitar.
I am so happy this video exists. I have been looking forward to your view on this soundtrack for quite a while now. Just starting in, but as always looking forward to your take.
Just discovered you through this video. I am a music lover with absolutely no music knowledge, so to watch you react to music the same way I do but have you explain whats happening to me in music language was such a treat!
When you jammed out with the violin I was getting goosebumps. I wish I could do that!
This is my second favourite game soundtrack, id LOVE to see your take on my favourite, "I was a Teenage Exocolonist". If you could inform me of what that music is doing, it would probably be my favourite video on CZcams!
I absolutely love Chris's music, i was expecting to just see another breakdown of the RoR2 soundtrack with some interesting commentary but this is so awesome! I was not at all expecting to see someone pull out their own instrument and add on! That's so cool to see!
this video made me **really** miss this game. i haven't played it in a while! sounds like I'm due to replay it soon!
Risk of Rain 2, The Dehydration of Risk of Rain 2, Terra Pluviam, Into the Doldrums, You're Gonna Need A Bigger Ukelele, The Raindrop That Fell To The Sky, They Might As Well Be Dead, The Rain Formerly Known As Purple, Antarctic Oscillation, Petrichor V, con Lentitud Poderosa...
This is the list of songs I'm trying to choose between as my 'favourite' from the album.
This is also more than half of the entire album...
There's a reason why we say "Chris don't miss."
Obligatory, if you liked Con Letund Ponderosa, you should listen to the soundtrack from the first game, Coalescence. If you know the lore behind both games both songs just hit different.
Absolutely. Coalescence hit hard the first time I heard it, as it does every time. Hit even harder once I had a grasp on the full lore.
One of my absolute favorites, I'm glad you're loving it so far :D
P.S. That second song is timed perfectly if you have no speed boosts to start the guitar as you come out of the tunnel and see the giant looming tower platform the final boss is on with a backdrop of the planet you've been on. (You are now on the planets moon) So you were right on the money
If you have no speed boosts by stage 5 you're doing something wrong.
@@deadlypickle6748 sure, but it's a cool fact
as a commando main i just use any item on a soldiers syringe or a delicate watch printer and then end up dying to the black hole that one of the void monsters make when it dies
Having never seen your channel before, I'm so happy to be introduced to your content on a reaction to my favorite game OST ever. I'm amazed at how spot on you are about what would be happening during the game at the moments these pieces are playing. I would HIGHLY suggest giving the rest of the Risk of Rain soundtracks (both the first and second games and DLC for RoR2) a listen as they truly are phenomenal. Also, Chris' album commentaries available on his CZcams channel are fascinating to listen to and I think you would enjoy them as well 😁
The Raindrop that fell to The Sky is and will be my favorite.
super chill
We need more of Chris art on this channel!
I would love to see a reaction for brutal orchestra, very strange game with a very strange (and unbelievably good) soundtrack! Would recommend the tracks Amphibious army, Vertigo, Feel the Rhythm, and Zanguango. I mean I would recommend listening to the whole thing, but those are the songs that I just remember off the top my head the most.
"Purple Rain" final lick in the synth drone at 10:00 and in the guitar solo at 10:58
fun fact: (this used to be true, maybe still is) the beginning section of 'con lentitud poderosa' before that beautiful electric guitar kicks in actually lasts from when you arrive at the moon to when you see the huge structure Mithrix (final boss) is located, if you walk at normal speed. I find this touch to be really nice, as it gives the player realisation that there is no teleporter here. no way to escape through any other way. the only way out is by taking Mithrix down; and i love that.
i absolutly love this soundtrack !!!!!
So glad you're approaching this beauty of a game! I do hope there is more!! May I also suggest Outer Wilds? Perhaps the best soundtrack of any game I have ever heard. (won multiple awards) Awesome stuff SPG!!

Sidefact that i have not seen mentioned in the comments, the rain formerly known as purple is a reference to the song "Purple Rain" with both their final parts sharing the same melody
Awesome way for me to discover your channel! Its really great to hear your insight, see the lightbulb go off on your first listen-through, and see you play alongside the music! Definitely going to subscribe for more! If I may make a suggestion, a smaller title that probably wouldnt garner as much popularity, but I would love to see what you thought about Freedom Planet 2's OST.
Love how well you can articulate the feelings each song elicits. As for recommendations, you should definitely check out any of the Supergiant Games soundtracks. They made Hades, Pyre, Transistor, and Bastion, with each game being completely unique. "Build that Wall", "Paper Boats", " In the Flame", and "Good Riddance" are my personal favorite songs
21:45
Fun Fact! '...con lentitude perdosa' is the music that plays in the final stage of the game, and the time stamp above shows a part where it introduces a new piece. This part of the song is actually a toned down and softer version kf what is played on the FIRST games final stage, the song being called 'Coalesence' and being one of if not my favorite Risk of Rain songs.
The stingray solo was awesome!! One of the first people I’ve seen one YT that has that thing.
