The soundtrack from this game (the AdLib version) marked my childhood (my son's middle name is Maks); I still have MP3s that I made of it, back in the day. Thanks for this.
This is just wonderful, comrade. It really brings me back to my youth. Thank you so much for uploading and keeping this jewel here for us. Stephane Picq was such a genius.
I'll need to see some identification, comrade. Game looks odd, but the music is stand-out. Stephan Picq is becoming one of my must-listen composers now. I'm finally going to find what other games he's composed for. Thank you for uploading the files too!
Brilliant, his best work. Excellent use of the limited FM architecture at the time and some truly memorable melodies. Thank you for posting this. Seems a to be a little heavier on the bass end than some of the other rips I've heard out there. Good thing!
KGB and Dune both had support (and specific music files) for the AdLib Gold that use the card OPL3 and its exclusive 'surround processor'. 2 Games with specific support for the AdLib Gold were made by Cryo, when this card had very low support, barely a dozen of game support it specifically (other games support it, but as a standard AdLib card), in 1992 Creative Labs had already set the Soundblaster as the new standard (PCM sound effects was the important point).
As someone from Soviet russia it would be cool to see a review or your thoughts on this game. Another channel I watch, JimPlaysGames did a playthrough of this and had some russians comment on it a bit later. Was pretty amusing & interesting
@@zangdaarrmortpartout well, back then, in post soviet space people do not buy games - they were copy or exchange them, literally skipping "bad" ones )
More into the amiga soundtrack of the game myself but this is still real cool, the game is such an eerie one too, captures the frightening air of ussr really well... at least to a layman
I like the Exxolove tune that's exclusive to Amiga A LOT, but not so much the remixes of the 3 other songs. Plus the Amiga soundtrack is 3 tunes short.
KGB/Conspiracy also had support for the AdLib Gold card, and for the Roland MT-32. The roland version lacks 2 tracks ('Machine' and 'Gorbi' ) which have no .M32 files in the game data files. As for Dune soundtrack, the KGB soundtrack does not use custom instruments on the MT-32 but only the default ones. czcams.com/video/NMWEaZOzvAA/video.html
This soundtrack has wonderful use of the kind of strange FM percussion sounds that were unique to that synthesis technique. Really nice use of layering and detuning, too. The patch design is also so inventive. All of this makes such a difference when compared to most Adlib soundtracks. It's too bad that PC authors had to support so many soundcards. I bet you would've seen more stuff like this otherwise.
@@dosnostalgic Dune has the most beautiful FM sounds on the Adlib. The soundtrack sounds even better on the Adlib than on the studio version that use "real" synthesizers (Exxos release).
Awww man! Great soundtrack, thanks for the mp3s! You‘re not able to rip the music from „Alpha Waves“ / „Continuum“ by any chance? That‘s that strange very early 3D DOS game with a very funky adlib soundtrack.
This music always takes me back, also Elvira 2: the jaws of cerberus and Betrayal at krondor tracks, can you upload these tracks somewhere on mp3 or something?. Also was there ever an official OST release?

Never played KGB, but the music reminds me of Dune1/2 and of the time when FM synthesis sounded like magic.
Same composer as the first Dune game.
This music, this is part of my youth right here. Really enjoyed that game, warts and all.

Check out Dune, Adlib Gold version. Magic.
He's amazing, glad to see he's getting some attention. Lost Eden is my favourite game soundtrack ever - not FM though.
YEAH! I'm glad I found this! Great Game!
I fkn hate the ending, hope they would make a remake, with better plot ending, it just started feeling rushed in those later chapters.

I think his best work is Dune on AdLib Gold, but this is a close 2nd.

Back in the days, every game on PC was a pure gem. As this title as well. Very interesting. I personally do not remember "bad" games then...
@@alexandergrinberg8862 they are tons of bad pc games. This one however is, indeed, a gem

I am most impressed with the speech synthesis in Gorbi (check out 11:07). Picq was truly a master of FM music.
I wonder why he did not use the 12 bits PCM capability of the AdLib Gold, which was better than the 8 bits PCM from the Soundblaster.

Insanely difficult, but I made it in 1993.
Props to you, i had to grow like 15+ years and use a guide to get thru some of the puzzles hahaha

KGB OST Vertiphon 2017 Remaster: czcams.com/video/oa7EQbWUHB4/video.html Complete remaster of this game's soundtrack.
This is really great work :)
How did you record this? :) I mean which soundcard did you use?
+Muad Dib This is emulated. VGMPlay with MAME setting.
Ah, I should try doing a recording with my SB16 CT1740. But emulation is getting better.
+Muad Dib Go for it. I'd like to know what it sounds like on a real OPL3.
Lenin rules!!!
