The opening shot when you first land here, followed by the first, chilling note of this track is legendary. It really makes you feel like a small speck in the cold, endless reaches of space. Absolutely amazing atmosphere.
it's actually two notes played over the root note--the middle note of a major chord and the middle note of a minor chord, which you normally can't play at the same time without dissonance, so the way the composer used the dissonance to make the song darker and the atmosphere heavier is a great example of how awesome he is. wish we could hear more of his work in the style of the first game (which i think had the best music of the trilogy--deadlocked had a different musician than the first 3 games)
Ac3 I think a few levels out of both the games miss the mark a bit, but in general the music usually feels really unique to the location. This is a good example and I think Tabora is a great example of it in R&C2. I personally found the first game’s soundtrack more memorable even though R&C2 is actually my favourite game in the entire series.
Agree, apart from some other ps2 titles, I have never heard such level of quality and consistency in games. David Bergeaud will be remembered for a long time for work he has done in R&C and memories he gave to people that played it...
@@mlodylube Its more of a reimagining to go with the movie's redo of the plot. If the movie didn't have such a bad plot its likely this game would not have turned out so bad story-wise at least. still needs the og levels and music though
David Bergeaud always had a knack for mixing the old with the new; this track alone has elements of club genres that were big in the 90s and early 2000s such as Trip Hop and Ambient but also contains a little bit of old school Sci Fi music.
@@NickCheng93 I've been on a search for sounds reminiscent of Bergeaud's for a good while; nothing quite identical to it yet but a genre you should look into is Illbient. Many artists in the 90s illbient scene have some rly good stuff, like DJ Spooky, Sub Dub, Byzar, and We.
Check out chemical Brothers it's the closest to the sound I can mention Maybe portishead timesplitters soundtrack by graeme northgate or my favorite band underworld
I love how dark and eerie the soundtrack was for this game, really sets it apart from its sequels. Even those creepy music transitions fit in with the planet that you're on, and goes to show how much thought they put into them
Honestly i think this game holds up better than any of the sequels. Yeah you cant strafe until later in the game, but this game had the best music, planets, aesthetic, npc encounters, character development, and overall feeling of progression. The only thing i didn’t like about the game were the clank levels, but they were so sparse it didn’t matter.
The situational aspect of strafing was a design choice to encourage you to mix up your approach with weapons but I guess most people didn't catch onto it, and an intense third person shooter with more versatile movement is always going to be more instantly appealing and invigorating
Yeah I definitely never did much with the thruster pack strafe in the OG game, using it only briefly before deciding it limited my mobility in other ways I didn't like. Strafing & remastered OST was what I was looking forward to the most when the remake was fresh news
Something about this soundtrack and level gave me nightmares as a kid, but in like a creepy cool way. It gave that loneliness in space feeling while also not in a generic and boring way. Wish there was a word to describe the vertigo inducing feeling of cosmic horror
@@scary_fu i only ever used the strafe to do corkscrew jumps. other than that i had no use for it. but the overall vibe and music of the first game was what was the coolest about it, even if the gameplay wasn't really better or worse than the 2nd and 3rd in the trilogy imo
Bryant Arias At the 0:58 mark its slower than veldin’s theme but the same melody Here’s veldins theme go to the 0:16 mark ruclips.net/video/0o5v7Sj9S_Y/видео.html
I find this song sad as well as creepy. You're on a space station filled with flying drones, Blarg troopers, turreters and piloted fighters while the planet below gets devastated by an army, and people are dying. And here Ratchet and Clank are, looking for someone who tricked and left them for dead just to end the grudge of the former. Deep shit when you think about it.
That's what I love about this game. I completely understand both Ratchet and Clank in this situation. Ratchet was excited to finally leave his planet and repay the robot who got him out of there, only to discover that everyone is the galaxy is selfish and greedy, and the hero of the galaxy is the greediest one of them all. "Is this galaxy even worth saving?" is what Ratchet is struggling with after planet Umbris. The only reason he decides to go after Drek is because of the slow hate he builds up for him between Orxon and Quartu, not because he wants to be a hero. This is what makes a protagonist interesting.
After you've done with this level and shot down Quark you see the infobot report about what happened to the planet below. That's when Ratchet really gets it and understands that Drek is just a rabid dog who wants to watch the world burn. Most people in the galaxy may not care, but Ratchet keeps going because it's just the right thing to do. Then the stakes are properly raised and it gets personal when his own planet Veldin is threatened with annihilation.
Everytime I hear this song, I remember those little robosquawkers from this level zigzagging towards me. One of them got stuck once, continuing to do it's funny little gait while stuck in place. I watched him for hours while listening to this.
Yeah, same. Mainly 0:19 cause the noise in the back sounds like a low pitched quack or something, which is fitting since they resemble ducks to me somewhat.
Was just on another OST for the second game and saw a discussion on Obani's track. People described that track as feeling "lonely", and this song immediately came to mind. This track absolutely oozes agoraphobia: the fear of open spaces. In this case, literally. I don't think I've ever heard a theme that so accurately captures the feeling of you being this small, insignificant creature trapped in the endless expanses of outer space. All your problems, all your mortal goals, the universe stretching out around you is wholly indifferent to it. While it's not the level with the biggest threat of you dying from a fall, it is probably the one that is most conceptually terrifying. Fall on planet Eudora, the logging planet, and you're dead, sure, but it's not so bad knowing there is an eventual end to the fall. But this is outer space. "Falling" is an abstract concept; you just fall away forever. Somehow, that is even worse.
I literally couldn't have said it better myself. The way you described this OST is absolutely spot on and so accurate in fact that it could've been a quote from Bergeaud himself.
That bass line is beautiful. This level gave me chills back when I was 8, it still does today. R&C aged so nicely, it makes me forget that it came out in 2002. I can still play it for hours.
I loved this music so much, I remember 11 years old me playing this game, I just stood there in the beginning of the stage, listening to this masterpiece.. and here I am now, 28 years old, playing this game all over again with the Ps2 emulator.. feels great.
My favorite level and soundtrack in the entire R&C series. Just an awesome opening sequence as the music starts while you stare out at the base with the massive, glaring star in the background. This level is always fun to play through, no matter how many times I've done it.
@Talkin' Timb when they shoehorned Dr. Nefarious in as the last boss (for some reason), they skipped over the climax of the entire OG plot: finding out that Drek intended to pollute the new world as well, just to continue to profit off the cycle of profligate consumerism. A truly evil & heartless antagonist. Remake Drek was an actual clown by comparison
The first note always makes my stomach drop. Instantaneously suffuses it with dread. Ominous.... with those suns looming closeby, for outer space... but the base is so cold and mostly devoid of life. It's like traversing a structural corpse...
I remember as a kid thinking this must be the final level because of the spike in difficulty and haunting atmosphere produced by the music and environment.
This music has stuck in my head since i first landed on Gemlik base. It was 2am, my ship lands and that shrill first note hits..... Has literally haunted me ever since!!!
Yes bro, games these days are really missing that. They're all still great games but they just don't have what games like this had. This, the Jak series? Their universes really pulled you in. Fantastic storytelling and atmosphere.
This music, as well as this level, always gave me the creeps. Like we entered someplace we weren't supposed to be at all, a point of no return. Even to this day, while it has grown to be one of my favorite tracks, I still get that eerie feeling when listening to it.
Hands down one of the best soundtracks in the game. Had that creepy vibe. The level was awesome. Everything about it was perfect. the soundtrack is just too damn good
The funniest part about this level is when your in the upside down room where the blarg troopers accidentally shoot at each other and start sliding away 🤣
Man this song was such a banger, thank you SO MUCH for uploading it. As a kid I recorded a crappy quality version on my laptop just so I could listen to it endlessly XD
Incredibly relaxing but haunting And it wasn't until 2019 that I discovered there was a gold weapons room on this map, even before starting Challenge Mode
I think it was back on my 3rd playthrough back in 2006 that I found the gold weapon room. Everytime I play Ratchet and Clank, I always make sure I got enough money and gold bolts to get the Gold Blaster for Drek.
One time when we were kids, my brother was looking for a gold weapon (I think it was the tesla claw?) and couldn't find it in Gemlik Base, because there's another Golden Weapon store on Novalis, but the teleporter never showed up. So he spent AGES looking for it, playing through Gemlik Base and Novalis over and over. I don't even remember why it didn't show up. We felt like we were going crazy and imagined it somehow lol.
@@Obsidian8R I just need 2 more fucking gold bolts that I can't find to have all the golden weapons but I didnt know about the room on the Gemlik base.
When I was younger, I always turned away and went back to the ship after the hangar with the first fighter jet. I used to never beat the planet on my own.
One of my favorite OST in this game I remember being young enough to not know how to save my file and ended up saving it over my older brothers saved filed. Needless to say, he was pissed lol
Oh god the epicness of this soundtrack! I fucking love this level it's been my favorite since the first time I played this game. The vibes this level and soundtrack give off....this game is truly a masterpiece
Man, walking sideways on magnet-strips as lava rises and falls was probably the hardest part of this level. Well, big room with dozens of enemies was, but first you have to go back across the sideways bit.
1:36 I absolutely LOVE that tone of the music! It feels like the galaxy, heck everything is at peace when it's actually really far from it. That tone stands out from every tone in the song because it resembles peace harmony and cration, things that Ratchet and Clank are here to make, and oh boy this is the orbit but THE PLANET is almost destroyed, it looks like Drek has broken every piece of the planet, and all he needs is the final blow.
I remember the first time I went to this level, with the music and that tone in the beginning it all felt so overwhelming and big that I returned immediately to the ship lol, almost like a reflex action
as a producer and a mad fan of the trilogy of this game, I listen a lot to R&C soundtracks, but most importantly, i recreate them, and I've found all the samples david used to make this song. i'm so proud of david for being an inspiration and for making this damn bangers!
I have been playing this game since its’ original release in 2002 - this is still by far my favorite level and soundtrack out of all the games I have played.
Não sei porque as lagrimas se formaram quando escuto essas musicas dessa playlist, mas acho que isso é aquela coisa clichê de todo mundo fala sobre nostalgia, muito bom relembrar a sensação de ser criança novamente. Primeiro jogo que joguei de ps2 na minha vida e consegue ainda ser meu preferido da franquia.
@@tw1stedjkee I work a lot and I barely have time, but I created a channel and I'm going to record the gameplay of the entire franchise, coincidentally I start today, thanks for the tip
@@tw1stedjkee I work a lot and end up leaving it to do later and never play, but I'm not only going to play but also create a channel to post gameplay from the entire franchise, I hope I can make it to the end hahaha
I think the fact that every game in the trilogy had to be made within a year made it impossible to have this kind of awesome and well integrated soundtrack for 2 and 3. I'd be really curious what David Bergeaud would have created.
Honestly I'm kinda glad this level wasn't in the 2016 game,despite it being my favourite level from the original. I guarantee if it was included they would've had some zany character who owned the space station or just had Qwark getting frustrated at Ratchet's progress while threatening to cut his lackeys salary. Prove me wrong,this would've happened
but he‘s glt a point. At the moment, these devs and publishers just focuse on microtransactions, gender equality, etc. but not on, well I don‘t know.. MAKING THE GAME ANY GOOD. huge problem and Gatchet and Clank 2016 (movie and game) kinda predicted that era of gaming. herr we are in 2022 and yeah, no real new hames to enjoy, to be honest. i always go back to the Ratchet and Clank games and others on my original ps2. that‘s way better.
The first time I played R&C I was 9. When I heard this track...I was like "IT'S GO TIME" I knew this lvl would be long and hard and it was. Due to the flying robot chompers, the endless deployment of robot attack dog's, the flying blarg jet packs, and the gunners...Gemilk Base was the Hardest coolest lvls of all in R&C. I could listen to this track all day and not get tired of it.
this is my favorite track in the game its exactly the kind of thing i dig without having to describe it at all not that id be able to but it is everything i dig and more
Yo this is as far as I could get without a memory card playing for 24 hours. And by this time I was tired 😴 and the difficulty was draining me and the eerie music topped it all off..... Little did I know that I'd get my revenge on quark fucker and make Ratchet not grouchy again
David bergead is a one of a kind composer, i hope sony can get that stick out of their ass and release the stereo versions of these tracks and hire him for the next ratchet game. The music is part of the experience and rift apart falls short in that front
While this isn't crazy enough to sound like something from a horror game (Idk if I'm just going crazy or not), but this totally reminds me of the music in Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. Especially 0:18 - 0:57 and the parts that repeat that. I can't be the only one right? Man this game and Deadlocked have such great atmosphere.
Why didnt they used those songs at least at the reboot? Fortunately my dad has the first 4 games if he didnt have them I wouldn't know about that cool game
Ayyyy my dad had these games too, if it hadn't been for him I definitely would have never known about RaC apart from the reboot (and I say "had" bc they're basically mine now since these games are fucking everything to me, I asked if I could have his ps2 and the games and he was like "sure"
The opening shot when you first land here, followed by the first, chilling note of this track is legendary. It really makes you feel like a small speck in the cold, endless reaches of space. Absolutely amazing atmosphere.
With that bright red sun!!
it's actually two notes played over the root note--the middle note of a major chord and the middle note of a minor chord, which you normally can't play at the same time without dissonance, so the way the composer used the dissonance to make the song darker and the atmosphere heavier is a great example of how awesome he is. wish we could hear more of his work in the style of the first game (which i think had the best music of the trilogy--deadlocked had a different musician than the first 3 games)

Pootis Mun not the best boss but other than that
Also one of the hardest levels
It feels like they took the rather lackluster fight against Cortex at the end of Crash 2, and thought "Let's make it actually good!"

I think it was back on my 3rd playthrough back in 2006 that I found the gold weapon room. Everytime I play Ratchet and Clank, I always make sure I got enough money and gold bolts to get the Gold Blaster for Drek.
Same dude, just found out last year despite the fact that I have been playing this game since before I can remember smh
One time when we were kids, my brother was looking for a gold weapon (I think it was the tesla claw?) and couldn't find it in Gemlik Base, because there's another Golden Weapon store on Novalis, but the teleporter never showed up. So he spent AGES looking for it, playing through Gemlik Base and Novalis over and over. I don't even remember why it didn't show up. We felt like we were going crazy and imagined it somehow lol.
@@aramiran2734 yeah the novalis one is only available on challenge mode and only some of the gold weapons are available before hand
@@Obsidian8R I just need 2 more fucking gold bolts that I can't find to have all the golden weapons but I didnt know about the room on the Gemlik base.
Scary and hard level
It made me scared when I was 10 years old. The controller was so sweaty when I reached Qwark.
When I was younger, I always turned away and went back to the ship after the hangar with the first fighter jet. I used to never beat the planet on my own.
@@reapertheabsol0359 same(except the part with the running away part). I hated the ships and the traps that Qwark uses on you in the dogfight.
Blue Hernandez oh, I loved the jet fighter section. That was one of the only reasons I finally did push through on my own.
Same. It was such a relief to finish it
This level was one of the hardest levels in this game and this level has the best Music track.
One of my favorite OST in this game
I remember being young enough to not know how to save my file and ended up saving it over my older brothers saved filed. Needless to say, he was pissed lol
Easily the best entrance song of all R&C games, amazing. unfortunate the "remake" didn't add this level. probably the best level in the original
Мне кажется что это самая лучшая музыка во всей серии игр Ratchet & Clank.
that first note is pure horror when you first enter the level
This one had to be one of my favourite places out of all orbits and planets in this game, and the music was good too
Oh god the epicness of this soundtrack! I fucking love this level it's been my favorite since the first time I played this game. The vibes this level and soundtrack give off....this game is truly a masterpiece
I first played the game when I was 5, I vaguely remember Gemlik base being scary to me as a kid, but that the song was also an absolute bop.
Best song in the game according to pretty much everyone
I will continue to comeback and listen daily. This game has some of the best songs videogames have had. A masterpiece through and through.
That first chord.. don't even need to move an inch to know you're fighting a boss at the end of the level.
so underrated, i wish all of Bergeaud’s tracks were up on spotify
Listen to this with headphones. It gets even better with the bass.
🔥🔥
Who remembers that one room you drop into with 100s of those flying robots. As a kid, I was like “😦” when seen all of them.🤣
Whole soundtrack is a masterpiece.
I like the music but it's still sends shivers down my spine
Man, walking sideways on magnet-strips as lava rises and falls was probably the hardest part of this level. Well, big room with dozens of enemies was, but first you have to go back across the sideways bit.
Лучшая музыка всей игры
1:36 I absolutely LOVE that tone of the music! It feels like the galaxy, heck everything is at peace when it's actually really far from it. That tone stands out from every tone in the song because it resembles peace harmony and cration, things that Ratchet and Clank are here to make, and oh boy this is the orbit but THE PLANET is almost destroyed, it looks like Drek has broken every piece of the planet, and all he needs is the final blow.
I remember the first time I went to this level, with the music and that tone in the beginning it all felt so overwhelming and big that I returned immediately to the ship lol, almost like a reflex action
thats exactly what i did lmao
Ratchet and Clank go to the Gemlik Base, looking for Captain Qwark...
RainbowSuplex The duo arrive at the base in the emptiness of space; Ratchet looks for Qwark to put him in his place.
@@blovett0814 yes
dunno if your still here but I love reading these little snippets
@@legofanguyvid Ah, thank you :)
G O A T this man
as a producer and a mad fan of the trilogy of this game, I listen a lot to R&C soundtracks, but most importantly, i recreate them, and I've found all the samples david used to make this song. i'm so proud of david for being an inspiration and for making this damn bangers!
The first game is better than all the other games in the saga
This track fits the Solar System's gas giant moons so well
I have been playing this game since its’ original release in 2002 - this is still by far my favorite level and soundtrack out of all the games I have played.
el juego de la saga con la mejor OST de todos
S Í
Não sei porque as lagrimas se formaram quando escuto essas musicas dessa playlist, mas acho que isso é aquela coisa clichê de todo mundo fala sobre nostalgia, muito bom relembrar a sensação de ser criança novamente. Primeiro jogo que joguei de ps2 na minha vida e consegue ainda ser meu preferido da franquia.
Пройди её еще раз на пк эмуляторе, нереальный кайф
@@tw1stedjkee I work a lot and I barely have time, but I created a channel and I'm going to record the gameplay of the entire franchise, coincidentally I start today, thanks for the tip

@@tw1stedjkee I work a lot and end up leaving it to do later and never play, but I'm not only going to play but also create a channel to post gameplay from the entire franchise, I hope I can make it to the end hahaha
@@tw1stedjkee www.youtube.com/@GadgetronSA-i3x
always thought this sounded like massive attack
Agreed. God I love trip hop
This just sounds like a synthesizer
@@Scottish995 Always nice to see another trip hop brother out in the wild.
I think the fact that every game in the trilogy had to be made within a year made it impossible to have this kind of awesome and well integrated soundtrack for 2 and 3. I'd be really curious what David Bergeaud would have created.
Its a crime that all the Jak games are on modern consoles as well as the first Sly game, yet none of the original R&C games are
Honestly I'm kinda glad this level wasn't in the 2016 game,despite it being my favourite level from the original.
I guarantee if it was included they would've had some zany character who owned the space station or just had Qwark getting frustrated at Ratchet's progress while threatening to cut his lackeys salary. Prove me wrong,this would've happened
You just took that directly from the gaming brit video.
but he‘s glt a point. At the moment, these devs and publishers just focuse on microtransactions, gender equality, etc. but not on, well I don‘t know.. MAKING THE GAME ANY GOOD. huge problem and Gatchet and Clank 2016 (movie and game) kinda predicted that era of gaming. herr we are in 2022 and yeah, no real new hames to enjoy, to be honest. i always go back to the Ratchet and Clank games and others on my original ps2. that‘s way better.
That drop is just so goooood
The first time I played R&C I was 9. When I heard this track...I was like "IT'S GO TIME" I knew this lvl would be long and hard and it was. Due to the flying robot chompers, the endless deployment of robot attack dog's, the flying blarg jet packs, and the gunners...Gemilk Base was the Hardest coolest lvls of all in R&C. I could listen to this track all day and not get tired of it.
One of my top ten OST’s.
This soundtrack just hits home!
This game is a masterpiece damn near.
No damn near, it is
@@frankpcodes If that's what you think, cool. But I found some areas in the game that could've used more creativity.
@@djlemonbalm such as?
Oh man, hit right in the nostalgia.
1:36
I love this part
I’ve been humming the weewoo in the background of this for weeks, I’ve finally found out which song it is XD
alex the 9 brought me here, true legend with good taste in music
Some say he's still searching for his Minecraft house
My favourite's OST from the first game, a classic
this is my favorite track in the game its exactly the kind of thing i dig without having to describe it at all not that id be able to but it is everything i dig and more
Yo this is as far as I could get without a memory card playing for 24 hours. And by this time I was tired 😴 and the difficulty was draining me and the eerie music topped it all off..... Little did I know that I'd get my revenge on quark fucker and make Ratchet not grouchy again
David bergead is a one of a kind composer, i hope sony can get that stick out of their ass and release the stereo versions of these tracks and hire him for the next ratchet game. The music is part of the experience and rift apart falls short in that front
Music is good when it makes you feel something
While this isn't crazy enough to sound like something from a horror game (Idk if I'm just going crazy or not), but this totally reminds me of the music in Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines.
Especially 0:18 - 0:57 and the parts that repeat that.
I can't be the only one right?
Man this game and Deadlocked have such great atmosphere.
SL Troopers - Movement is the drum sample. Its genius to slow that break down, it has so much untapped potential
Why didnt they used those songs at least at the reboot? Fortunately my dad has the first 4 games if he didnt have them I wouldn't know about that cool game
tell your dad that he is fucking cool for doing that
Ayyyy my dad had these games too, if it hadn't been for him I definitely would have never known about RaC apart from the reboot (and I say "had" bc they're basically mine now since these games are fucking everything to me, I asked if I could have his ps2 and the games and he was like "sure"
My uncle had the platinum edition for PS2
Yeah I cant believe how bad the music is in the newer games, it may as well not have had music.
THE best track in the game 😍😍😍
This is pure ambient techno so dope
