Cosmic Highway! My latest original piece, going to be building up a colletion enough to fill an albums worth by the end of the year with 2 exclusive pieces for that video! ruclips.net/video/NXtwuET51l0/видео.html
The Break Van variant is so interesting. I love how they chose to have descending notes at the end of each phrase - kind of foreshadows the demise of a certain brake van!
It was dark when they brought floating cranes, cleared away the trucks & lifted Percy out. He was too cold & stiff to move by himself. So he was sent to the works next day on Henry's goods train.
Having finally been able to hear it clean, I think the 'Break Van' variant is my new favorite. The way it leads into the main theme and suddenly zips up several octaves at the point where the van is crushed (one of THE most visceral shots of the entire series) is masterful.
The crane scene from "Percy Takes the Plunge" always scared me as a kid. Between the mournful music, the nighttime lighting, and Percy looking like an eye-less ghost suspended from the cranes, that whole segment had a very eerie intensity to it. I think the only thing scarier is Gordon's angry facemask.
Yes, that was one of the eeriest scenes in the Thomas the Tank Engine TV series. What scares me much more is the scene before where Sir Topham Hatt scolds Percy for deliberately ignoring the "Danger" sign. I always thought he looked his angriest in that scene especially since it came with a special variant of his angry theme.
It does have an eeriness to it. The mostly silhouetted and at the time unknown Diesel running past in the background and hearing his unusual sounding horn for the first time adds to the vague hauntedness of the scene.
You know what’s more scary? Hearing Percy narrate about a ghost train plunging into a gap *shrieking* like a lost *soul* anything more scary than that would probably be the Chinese dragon approaches theme
You know... That varient of the breakdown theme actually ended up making me think up a certain scenario, when I was kind of spit-balling a few ideas with Brendam Productions on what to rewrite next, after Edward Strikes Out and Don't be silly Billy, regarding what a rewrite of Mighty Mac's debut could go like. Which ended up making me think of where the arguing between the two ends ended up going sour, to where one end protested the other's plans on how to do things, by slipping on their brakes, whilst the other tried in vain to drag them along with them. And then, whilst that was going on, the driver and fireman tried to figure out how to get the brakes unstuck, through a quick fiddling of the controls, until the engine suddenly lurched forward, knocking them off their feet and causing them to accidentally yank off some vital parts of the engine's, thereby causing them to be out of service for the rest of the day, and for the thin controller to have a stern talk with them, whilst they were being repaired in the sheds.
Something so odd but nice sounding about the Series 2 version of the theme. I have grown an appreciation for the music duo for upgrading the theme each series, even if it’s just slight differences. Rather than reusing the same theme, each variation is different depending on the situation.
James was loosing steam "I CAN'T DO IT!" "LAE IT TA ME!" The gard climed out. "Go steddie,the Van's breaking-" *insert break Van breaking into peaces here* The Van was in peaces. Edward soon came to clear oit the mess with the fat Controller on board. "I should have know it was douglas." "Douglas was great sir. James had no more steam left and Douglas had worked enough for three"
It's 3 AM so of course my brain came up with lyrics (best sung to the beat of the "Pop Goes The Diesel" variant): Breakdown train Comin' a-gain Breakdown train Comin' a-gain Gotta pull this cheeky engine Outta the drain Maybe this time they'll learn their les-son Maybe next time it won't happen again, so Breakdown train Is comin' a-gain To pull this cheeky engine right outta the drain Breakdown train's work is neh-ver done, and Trains are always getting themselves stuck in sand, so Breakdown train Is comin' a-gain To pull this cheeky engine right back out of the drain, but Breakdown train's work just seems al-ways to be done in vain...
These versions of the Breakdown Train themes did have their scary sides to them during Series 2. The one from 'Pop Goes the Diesel' was the scariest one or me when I was little. But the other 3 were the ones I loved mostly, especially 'Break Van' :) .
the sheer level of danger conveyed in that pop-goes-the-diesel remix of this piece remind me of the rescue theme from series 1 oh-so much... _i haven't watched thomas in ages and i grew up on the late seasons of the model era, but boy are these tunes putting me in the mood to actually return to the series and give the classic era a watch_
Brakevan's version of the breakdown train theme always gave me chills. I think it was the fact I never knew what was coming next or the fact both music and situation are very tense.
someone else said that scene apparently came with a special variant of the _wide_ controller's "angery theme", so it seems this entire sequence's music was kinda -angry- *cross* with percy forgetting that the trucks are evil incarnate
00:00 It was dark when they brought floating cranes to rescue Percy. He was too cold and stiff to move by himself. 00:19 Diesel found them hard to move. “PULL, PUSH, BACKWARDS, FORWARDS!” “OOOWEEEEEE! OOOHWEEEEEEEE!” the cars groaned. “We can’t! We won’t!” Duck watched with interest. Diesel lost patience. “ERRRRRRGRRRRRR!!!!” he roared and gave a great heave. The cars jerked forward. “OHHH, OOOHHHH!!!!” they screamed. “WE CAN’T! WE WON’T!” Some of their brakes snapped, and their gear jammed in the sleepers. “ERRRGERRR! HOOUUUGGHH!!!!” “HO HO HO!” chuckled Duck. Diesel recovered and tried to push the cars back, but they wouldn’t move. Duck ran quietly ‘round to collect the other cars. 01:07 Sir Topham Hatt watched the rescue operation, then he had more news for Duck. “And when you are properly washed and mended, you are coming home.” “Home, sir? Do you mean the yard?” “Of course.” “But sir, they don’t like me, they like Diesel.” “Not now. I never believed Diesel so I sent him packing. The engines are sorry and they want you back.” 01:24 Slowly, but surely, the snorting engines forced the freight cars up the hill, but James was losing steam. “I can’t do it, I can’t do it!” “Le’ it teh' me!” shouted Douglas. The conductor was anxious. “Go steady, the van’s breaking!” The van was in pieces.
The "break van" version is my favorite rendition. Something about how slow and heavy it is just does such a good job communicating the weight of a train and the power exerted by an engine.
The "Pop Goes The Diesel Variant" wound probably make any engine that got in a wreak ashamed of themselves. Legit sounds like that is engine heading to their deathbed
Well done!!!! I always loved the deeper strings heard in the S2 versions of this theme (especially in PTTP), and the Diesel variant - as you say - is definitely more intense and gets the adrenaline pumping!! :O (Cosmic Highway is excellent btw - can't wait to hear your next original pieces too ;) )
I know I say this practically every time, but Ty this is some of your best!!! All sounds as if it was ripped directly from the show. Very well done sir!
S.A Music should do Banjo-Kazooie mashups. Out of these music pieces from the Banjo games I have heard on RUclips, and compared them Thomas musics the last years, I means both Banjo musics and Thomas musics would match perfectly together as mashup mixes.
The 2 engiens forced the trucks up the hill. But james was loosing steam. "I CANT DO IT,I CANT DO IT!" "LAY IT TO MEH" the guard was anxtios. "Go steedy, the Vans breaking-..." *INSERT VAN BREKING NOISES HERE* The Van was in peaces.
See the breakdown crane always has this like same rhythm no matter what! Thats whys its like the best and im a big fan of your S1 Breakdown crane theme collection!
Come on, come on ! Puffed James crossly. Get movin u! Get movin u! Puffed Douglas from behind. Slow but surely, The Snorting engines forced the unwilling trucks up the hill. But James was losing steam. I can't do it, I can't do it! He painted. Leave it to me! Leave it to me! Shouted Douglas & puffed & he pushed so furiously, that sparks left from his funnel. Ooer! Groaned The Van. I wish I never thought of this! It was squeezed between Douglas & The Trucks. Go on! Go on! It screamed. But they took no notice. The Guard was anxious. Go steady! He called to Douglas. The Van's breaking! But it was too late. The Guard jumped as the van collapsed. He landed safely beside the line. Edward brought workmen to clear the mess.

@Nik Pirouz Yeah.
I hope we get an extended version of it.

Henry: did you like the water 🌊💦? Percy: No
Henry: I'm surprised to hear that, water 🌊💦 is nothing to a engine with determination!😮
Having finally been able to hear it clean, I think the 'Break Van' variant is my new favorite. The way it leads into the main theme and suddenly zips up several octaves at the point where the van is crushed (one of THE most visceral shots of the entire series) is masterful.
I love how certain variants have the o face sound effect in them. It really lifts up the song.

@@BrikLikesWaffles The only thing that scared me in that story as a kid was Percy crashing into the cart, and when he imitated a ghost at the shed.

@@elmothegudava1222no one had been hurt, and soon Edward arrived to clear the mess. Sir Topham Hatt was on board.
The beginning of the Breakdown Train theme sounds like your hoisting something with a rickety winch and it has the chance of snapping with its load.

It's 3 AM so of course my brain came up with lyrics (best sung to the beat of the "Pop Goes The Diesel" variant):
Breakdown train
Comin' a-gain
Breakdown train
Comin' a-gain
Gotta pull this cheeky engine
Outta the drain
Maybe this time they'll learn their les-son
Maybe next time it won't happen again, so
Breakdown train
Is comin' a-gain
To pull this cheeky engine right outta the drain
Breakdown train's work is neh-ver done, and
Trains are always getting themselves stuck in sand, so
Breakdown train
Is comin' a-gain
To pull this cheeky engine right back out of the drain, but
Breakdown train's work just seems al-ways to be done in vain...
"Duck watched with interest"
Pop goes the Diesel is definitely the most frightening, especially with sounds.
0:19 This is the greatest breakdown train theme in the history of mankind. God bless you Afro for flawlessly recreating such a treasure. :’3

"Go steady, the van's breaking"
The van is in peices
little did the guard know those were soon to be his last words
The guard jump clear
Never heard the Pop Goes the Diesel variant like this - I like all the angry undertones that version has.
someone else said that scene apparently came with a special variant of the _wide_ controller's "angery theme", so it seems this entire sequence's music was kinda -angry- *cross* with percy forgetting that the trucks are evil incarnate
This feels like music I would play during a heist.
The Break Van variant send chills down my spine at the end with the strings
I love all the change-ups to themes in season 2. They really highlighted the versatility of the motifs. Great recreation.

Hearing the Pop Goes The Diesel variant clean sounds so fire :D
0:48
Some of their brakes snapped....
*SNAP!*
And a gear hanging down jammed onto the sleepers.
The breakdown train theme has got to be one of my favourites from the show and your renditions remind me why.
The Break Van variant sounds like somebody is about to get sniped.
And does.
Yes!! I’ve been waiting so long for someone to do the music for the breakdown crane themes in season 2!!
0:48 is basically the "O" face chord
The "Percy takes the plunge" variant has some relly nice bass and rythm to it
Omg yes these are PERFECT! My favorite variation has to be the one from “Percy Takes The Plunge.” ❤️
The "Pop Goes The Diesel Variant" wound probably make any engine that got in a wreak ashamed of themselves. Legit sounds like that is engine heading to their deathbed
I can hear the trucks go "OHHHH-EEEE OHHHHH" and Diesel going "HRRR GRR"
Same
The start of the “Break Van” variant is really creepy when you’re in a dark room alone
1:07 Dash (PBS Kids) - Good Maggie!
Well done!!!!
I always loved the deeper strings heard in the S2 versions of this theme (especially in PTTP), and the Diesel variant - as you say - is definitely more intense and gets the adrenaline pumping!! :O
(Cosmic Highway is excellent btw - can't wait to hear your next original pieces too ;) )
"Go steady, the van's breaking!"
Conductor.
I love the Percy takes the plunge version!
I always thought the one from "A Close Shave for Duck" sounded very similar to "Down the Mine" from S1.
I know I say this practically every time, but Ty this is some of your best!!! All sounds as if it was ripped directly from the show. Very well done sir!
1:07 Marge Simpson - Good Job!
Just want to say that your music is so inspirational to me! (Third listen in a row)
The Plunge version feels like it would fit right in Banjo Kazooie to me
S.A Music should do Banjo-Kazooie mashups. Out of these music pieces from the Banjo games I have heard on RUclips, and compared them Thomas musics the last years, I means both Banjo musics and Thomas musics would match perfectly together as mashup mixes.
The season 2 versions of this theme are indeed more intense than the season 1 versions. As is all of the music from season 2, really.
I guess when they made this they didn't realise they were making not a soundtrack, but childhoods.
Not gonna lie i do love the pop goes the diesel break down crane theme
Sounds amazing! One of my favorite themes to the Thomas and Friends franchise.
My favorite version is the one from Pop Goes The Diesel. That one is so catchy.
Would love to hear an extended version of the break van version.
The 2 engiens forced the trucks up the hill. But james was loosing steam.

i feel bad for the trucks in pop goes the diesel. Diesel is tearing them up to bits, when they're pleading for him to stop.
My favorite variant of this compilation is the one from Percy Takes The Plunge.
I agree! I think this is the eeriest is my opinion if you combine it with the midnight rescue scene and furious Sir Topham Hatt moment.
