I've remembered this game's soundtrack about a year, or two, ago. Not that I remembered it, one melody/song just started playing in my mind from out of the blue. That same melody kept doing that since I've stopped playing Unreal Tournament like, 10 years ago, idk. Anyways, 2 years ago I decided to try to find and listen to the song on RUclips. I did, greatly enjoyed it, and that was it. A year later, again it came to my mind. I started listening to it, and then gave a few more Unreal Tournament songs a play. Enjoyed them mostly thoroughly, but again, after that one sessions, I didn't listen to it actively. 6 months ago I started listening to the soundtrack at work and it is great for me. It helps me keep focused. There is no emotion being stirred within me by this music, at least not the sort of emotion that "the rest" of the music that I listen to does stir; That emotion being the kind that makes me feel like suffocating, like I will never have the happiness and perfection that I get from those songs, that I get from the books I read and anime I watch. I can enjoy it without becoming emotionally unstable. As I've said, it helps me with my focus. I've been listening to this, Skyward Spiral and some few other songs, regularly for the past 6 months, in sesions lasting for hours without yet having had "enough" of it. It's enjoyable without making me feel like I'm unable to fill my lungs with air.
You posted this important comment two years ago. So, I'm sorry for the late reply. Not likely you will see/read my comment. Likely much has changed for you in the past 2 years. I remember playing UT99 when it came out over 20 years ago. The Skyward song is a favorite. I'm doing a revisit of old game songs. Skyward. It's balanced. Dreamy drifting keyboard melody with a good drum set beat to keep that timing going. Quote. "It helps me keep focused". I think I can understand that. It's a,,, neutral song. Settling/soothing and yet has a beat you could bounce to. It calms and inspires the mind. I have to have music running in my head as I work. Is that odd?
I know what you mean. I think some music is written about and inspired by strong and unstable emotions, it can help then but other times can create chaos where there was none.
The classic Unreal Tournaments were so good, like many other games of that period, even though the graphics and features were minimal. I wish modern games could go back to these type of immersive experiences. Too much emphasis now on amazing technology.
".. even though the graphics and features were minimal" when this game came out, this graphic was the mega hyper super top, it was the first specialized game for this multi-shooter deathmatch,capture the flag category,competed with the quake arena, every gamer magazine was write about that and compared this two game,in every way, if I remember correctly, or they had an equal fan base or more people played with unreal, the music added a lot to his experience.I didn’t even know a quake fan in my environment.
@@polar0101 god dammit son u told a truth bigger than a cathedral i remember comparing it to the original ut and telling the cybercoffee guy ''we have to get this in every computer''.... that lead in to endless lan hours in ctf-face ♥
This is not a give and take. Unreal Tournament was amazing technology for it's time and also was packed to the brim with fun an features. Now a days you get "amazing graphics" and a hollow shell of boredom. They don't have an excuse. They just don't care. They stopped making games for gamers and now make games for shareholders.
@@vanilla8956 yes, 2 processes cause this, everywhere in the entertainment industry: -one is that technology has become accessible to everybody such as in film-making, game-making, music-making, the offers has become great, there is a lot of anti-talent, and only the numbers of visitors,popularity,fame,and money is the motivation (and because they want to show something new and newest.., the content is already turning into extreme, and then the contents already hurting others) in the past, it took a lot of money and tools to make a film, therefore only very motivated people started a film making with important(good role model theme) content and well-chosen actors) - the other is that it has become an industry, completely empty teams are manufacturing on a conveyor belt just for profit
@@soulsphere9242 RIGHT! We had MORE features in the past not less. I vividly remember the sorts of things we could do in some games... especially via the console ... modern games don't even have LAN capabilities in most cases.
ive listened to foregone destruction to death and i think i found a new song this one UNreal tournament was a great game. Very good game i can play forever with this music. I still wanta play this game lol
As soon as it starts it’s like a breath of fresh air… and the deeper you get into it, the farther you transcend further and further into atomically driven portions of life. The wind, the air itself, the suns rays, the ground beneath you, the very world itself around you. The pinnacle of serendipity, subtle yet driven with such immeasurable force, moving perfectly and smooth yet so fiercely and jagged that it cannot cannot be discoursed. The magnificence of great known and little unknown lies beyond mind and beyond the self but into a place where time energy and matter all fades into one and one fades into none. I am binary. I am code. I am zero. I am one. I am identifiable yet I do not exist. I am.
I had to make a comment. Your comment is more than good. You see much more than I have. You LOVE this Skyward Fire music. It's my favorite of the UT songs. I don't know how to describe it right. It's dreamy. Makes me imagine things. Then there is the bouncy beat you want to bounce to. Then it quiets down and loops back. I've been listening to it as I write this reply. This comment is from a guy that played UT99 25+ years ago at the age of 40 something from back then. No joke. Now? I no longer have that fast skill. Advice. Keep you skill trained.
Lava Giant...invincibility and infinite ammo cheats...Redeemer jumps from one end of the level to the other. Launching the enemy out into the lava with shock rifle blasts. Removing their heads while in their base from atop the bluff in the center. Ripping them to shreds with around the corner headshots from the razorjack. Go Ivana Go. Time to play again...
its cause the map this song is from is called Lava Giant its a open map with 2 bases separated by a cavern filled with lava and lava all around the map.
It's a funny and bad thing. I tried Shazam to find this song, it could not do it. Well since it never made it to beyond gamer listeners, it could be why..
What a track...takes you into another dimension.
I like to listen to this while programming.
how weird, i do the exact same thing XD
I like to listen this while I'm alive :) But, also for doing stats work.. so similar I guess
Im doing exactly the same thing now :)
me as well! C++ FTW!
@Wilhelm von Schnitzelnazi Whoa! What stories?! Can we read them? I'd love to!

you should take this comment to a therapist because it's really well written and clearly shows you have some kind of issue, respectfully

Childhood memories, what a time.
I listen to this while work. Feels like gliding throufg space
this was such a memorable game, I miss those times when we played in on LAN parties.
And unto the heavens there was a great inferno, charring the lands it consumed. And on these charred lands, was the game of Deathmatch
Nope, it's CTF. Great for camping, but every once in a while you clear them out with a redeemer missile :D
Love this Song
❤
Thx for a complete video without advertising 👌
What a gem! great for studying
Unreal, UT99 and Return To NaPali are the best games ever for me.
this and Forgone Destruction my god...
WHAT A RELAX

Take me back. Take me back to that Gateway PC and when it all made sense...
I too played UT on our gateway PC and my name is zach lol
I've scored countless frags to the super sexy swingin' sounds of Skyward Fire
And stay down!..
*H E A D S H O T !*
Bite me
Meeeeediiiiic!
Take their flag.
Learn how to AIM!
Love this song, really atmospheric - big underworld vibes, reminds me of "Dark And Long"
you must be American if you instantly think about BBC
@@wrcz Underworld - Dark and Long (Dark Train)
I wouldn't be surprised if that track was an inspiration for this one. Another one: "The Course" sounds very inspired by Lost Tribes' "Gamemaster".
I need more of this i'm this new horrible era
I'm reminiscing about the older days, when things were more simpler.
I love to listen to this while playing the game Burnout. Something about crashing into walls while listening to dance music is awesome. lol
burnout and unreal tournament? nice taste on games
Awesome UT track...can play UT endless with this music.
ive listened to foregone destruction to death and i think i found a new song this one UNreal tournament was a great game. Very good game i can play forever with this music. I still wanta play this game lol

I was listening to Logic's new album and his song Clouds sounds just like this.. reminded me of all those fun hours I had playing UT99!
Thanks for the upload, this deserves more views. One of my favorite tracks from UT.
Do you have an extended version of Foregone Destruction?
ruclips.net/video/eEcPakW42JU/видео.html&t
Here ya go
UT for multiplayer and Half Life for SP. No other games have come close to their impact; trust me, I've played a few in my time.
Counter strike 1.6 would disagree
@@nj-kh5vw Ah yes, CS, another one from the days of old. There's so many to choose.
@@nj-kh5vw counter strike, yo moron its a mod of half-life, the damn same game, disagree... you stupid
@@louie55ish so you went back on your own word.. i didn't trust you then (having played influential games) and I trust you even less now :P
lovely droning sound
When company make games....and music....and become art
2025 and still epic!
First time when we fight Skaarj
That's only in the Game of the Year edition. In the original version of the game, there were no Skaarj opponents.
@Wilhelm Müller Yeah I was a kid then and I legit got scared and excited to fight those new monsters. Their dances were fun though.
@@TheRealSkeletor I was a kid and had GOTY ; -;
Perhaps one of the most underrated D&B tracks ever!
A pure masterpiece!
Ownage!
since i experienced ut99 as a small kid i've been a shrooming shaman ever since
the besto music of ut99 is this.
Lava Giant...invincibility and infinite ammo cheats...Redeemer jumps from one end of the level to the other. Launching the enemy out into the lava with shock rifle blasts. Removing their heads while in their base from atop the bluff in the center. Ripping them to shreds with around the corner headshots from the razorjack. Go Ivana Go.
Time to play again...
Anyone know how I can rip this to cd?
Ha Ha Ha!
MOooo!!
MP3 download please? For your other extended UT OSTs as well.. Please?
Ultra Kill ! My best music for coding
Do you have an extended version of the Menu/Main Theme?
fucking killer, makes me wanna make music like this
You can for free, look up "Music tracker" and choose your system .)
I wonder why is it called "Skyward Fire"...
its not because they made the track blood rave for the movie blade that it make more sense for that track
its cause the map this song is from is called Lava Giant its a open map with 2 bases separated by a cavern filled with lava and lava all around the map.
What is this music genre?
I Googled what genre 'Darude - Sandstorm' is because it kinda sounds similar, this might be Trance as well. Or just Techno, i dont know
Trip-hop instrumental??
Its a form of drum n bass but a low tempo drum n bass techno.
Atmospheric drum and bass
mmm... me love lava giant....
Remember: this is the same company that gave us fortnite instead of UT
infinity loop
Игра мого детства
Mortal Kombat type track
It's a funny and bad thing. I tried Shazam to find this song, it could not do it. Well since it never made it to beyond gamer listeners, it could be why..
Try a bigger gun!
