@@mijnordna Thanks for explaining - it makes a whole lot more sense now that I understand the thinking behind it.

"Thank you for calling Tetris Inc. We are experiencing greater than usual held calls. We appreciate your patience while we get all of the blocks to fall into place to clear a representative for your line."
That's the magic of this kind of music. It makes you feel like you're watching an educational video or something from the 80s or 90s, where the teacher had to bring in the big tube TV and VHS player on a cart. Yes, I'm old enough to remember those!
Came here from Jacob Geller's videos. This song sounded so familiar, but there's no way I've ever played this version of Tetris before. There's no reason for this to go this hard
I love this song so much. Even though i wasn't born till 2002, i feel awfully nostolgic for this game because of it's music. Jim Andron knocked it out of the park.
Imagine being a guy in the early nineties getting paid by a company to make music for an ambitious console rendition of Tetris, and you just start cooking for absolutely no reason.
bro i've had this song floating around my head for literal years, never remembering what it was called. Thank god I finally found it. Now I can die in peace
Man, this track really tugs at my heart strings. I've listened to it recently, but it sounds so nostalgic to me. The aesthetics in this version of Tetris are strong.
I didn't even know Tetris CD-i was a thing until I saw 8BitDrummer's cover. Dang, if this isn't the definition of "aesthetic" then I don't know what is!
The Level 0 Theme from Tetris (CD-i) (1992) reminds me of On the Wings of Love (1982) by Jeffrey Osborne and Through the Barricades (1986) by Spandau Ballet.
What is this? What is this genre? Have I played this game before? Have I watched somebody play this game before? Why does it make me feel so *_nostalgic?!_*
1. Tetris CD-I soundtrack, says it in the name, ya cretin. The composer is actually in this comment section 2. I guess it's kinda like smooth jazz or something. Basically Easy Listening music. this ain't vaporwave, vaporwave is sample-based, and takes alot of inspiration from Easy Listening music from around this time (80s-90s). 3. Maybe, maybe not. It's Tetris CD-I, from what I've heard it's one of the better CD-I games, and has a really soothing aesthetic. It has a few game design issues, like as you play, it's split up into levels to change scenery, but it leads to a really annoying loading screen in between, which isn't great for Tetris, which you typically want no interruptions so you can keep focus. There also isn't any in-game noises for the blocks, which is a bit strange, and might harm gameplay a bit. Also, it probably isn't worth getting a CD-I for this, just emulate it. 4. Maybe, maybe not. Probably not frankly, it's not like you're gonna see people playing obscure(-ish) Tetris games much, especially when they're pratically all the same 5. You've probably heard alot of music like this, it's easy listening stuff, which appears in alot of settings to relax the people there. Also in alot of TV Shows and Movies too. But you probably haven't heard THIS before.
If you stuck this onto a vaporwave album, I think it'd fit in perfectly. I almost get a sense of false nostalgia when listening to it; particularly, a memory of life in the 90s, even though I was actually born in 2000. That vibe makes it amazing to listen to, and if RUclips still had star ratings on videos, this would get a 5 star from me.
I've only listened to this music from the Philips CD-i game Tetris on RUclips before and it sounds really relaxing. It may be perfect for helping people to get rid of their stress and forget unhappy bad times in the past. I've heard Philips CD-i has few good games such as such as The 7th Guest, Burn:Cycle, Tetris, Pac-Attack, The Apprentice, and Lemmings despite being a poor console. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
1980's action movie, movies main hero walks into a resort for his contact and stumbles upon the contact's sister who climbs out the swimming pool to this music and who will end up being his girl by the end. That's exactly what this track is lol
I wholeheartedly believe that 90s were a time where we peaked as a species. At least, in terms of pop culture. There are lots of other good decades but none feels this magical.
''Sir, a problem just came up.'' ''What happened? We only have a couple minutes to prove my innocence!'' ''Yeah sorry, but something happened and, uh... the evidence we have to prove you're not guilty got replaced with a bunch of Tetriminos.'' Real talk though, this track is surprisingly chill. And I kinda like it.

Imagine if Captain N had jokes like this
No. It's, "Thank you for calling The Tetris Company..."
Man... if this was played as waiting music I'd loose control once someone answers the call, begging them to put me back in line!
Anyone else here feel nostalgia for this without knowing it prior?
platypusduck54 yes

@@superstache7173 I'm old enough to remember 16 millimeter film projectors and 35 mm filmstrips.
That's... kinda accurate actually.
Tetris was made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and by contributions to your local PBS station from viewers like you. Thank you!
This is so chill. Reminds me of Bejeweled series for some reason.
Dude, I like your taste. First soundtracks I paid money for were Bejeweled 2 and 3.
this does indeed give me beyond the network vibes
Exactly!
Bejeweled has an amazing soundtrack too
Definitely
The music in this game is the definition of 90s aesthetics.
Came here from Jacob Geller's videos. This song sounded so familiar, but there's no way I've ever played this version of Tetris before. There's no reason for this to go this hard
POV: You take a walk just early enough in the morning that everyone else is still sleeping
4-6 AM. The liminal time of the world
This sounds like it'd play at a really sad moment in a jrpg before they realise there's still hope when the music soars up temporarily
I just uploaded all the tracks I have for Tetris. Soundcloud, Jim Andron, Tetris CD-i album
Thank you! Those uploads are so crisp 🔥🔥
Thank you for this
This sounds like the instrumental to a Phil Collins song.
I can just imagine hearing his voice over this lol
literally
Ah hahaha that made me chuckle
I can hear the incoming drum solo.
Just love that gated reverb snare sound
I love this song so much. Even though i wasn't born till 2002, i feel awfully nostolgic for this game because of it's music. Jim Andron knocked it out of the park.
This song... This is as 1992 as it gets. Was a quiet year...

Such a beautiful soundtrack overall. Makes you think for a moment.
Ah... The theme of Google Images Puppy.
Sounds like a theme song for a late 80’s investigation or Crime tv show
True... also sounds like a Foriegner song?
I just came to the comments section to write that exact thing lol
It feels like I’m a kid in the 90s in the waiting room at the doctors office playing with the toys
The Level 0 Theme from Tetris (CD-i) (1992) reminds me of On the Wings of Love (1982) by Jeffrey Osborne and Through the Barricades (1986) by Spandau Ballet.
If it wasn't for the CD-i's input lag this would have been the best version of tetris EVER.
this literally sounds like vaporwave and its so dope
Fun Fact: This song was used in the ARG series, "Liminal Land". In their "Company Training Tape" video, it is used as the background track.
I know some of the tracks were used in Gemini Home Entertainment too.
This video is called “visitors satisfaction.”
What is this?
What is this genre?
Have I played this game before?
Have I watched somebody play this game before?
Why does it make me feel so *_nostalgic?!_*
How did I get here?! Same as it ever was!!
1. A game.
2. Basically Vaporwave.
3. Maybe not. But you should play it.
4. Some people already played it.
5. Because its the old generations.

What actually brought me here is a retweet of gameplay footage of this game from Tetris' official Twitter page

Hell yea!
Yeah!!
8BITDRUMMER GANG RISE UP
Yeah boiiiiii
🥳
I came to this video after listening to music from Irisu Syndrome, and this music really reminds me of that game.
Tfw youtube recommends you an amazing sountrack feom a game you've never heard of
Wow, beautiful.
This deserves way more views
1980's action movie, movies main hero walks into a resort for his contact and stumbles upon the contact's sister who climbs out the swimming pool to this music and who will end up being his girl by the end.
That's exactly what this track is lol
I was thinking it would play in the end scene where the main guy mourns the loss of his friends to the crime syndicate they fought
Such a beautiful song...
Okay, was anybody going to tell me there was a Tetris CD-i game, or was I supposed to listen to the "Google Images Puppy music" post?
This is making me nostalgic even tho I just recently started listening to this soundtrack
this soundtrack is just otherworldly
WHAT IS THAT MELODY ⁉️⁉️⁉️🎵🎶🎵🎵🎼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Expect an influx of Jacob Geller fans! - Awesome music too!
The CDI did something right? To be fair, this wasn't a very good port of Tetris and my God the music is incredible!
the cdi is the home of Hotel Mario
@@arcanepool That's bad, very bad!
Imo it wasnt really a good port. But the music is incredible!
@@NintenFoxy-pc8jz well sugar, I thought I spelt wasn't lol. Hey it is still the best CDI game, which isn't saying much.
@@NintenFoxy-pc8jz How is it not a good port? It seems to control pretty good, the 8-Bit Guy said it was his 2nd favorite Tetris.
80s and 90s music = godtier mystical perfection.

Very good music and used the menu
it's just so peak
I wholeheartedly believe that 90s were a time where we peaked as a species. At least, in terms of pop culture.
There are lots of other good decades but none feels this magical.
The game was just about stacking blocks, the soundtrack din't have to be this good
''Sir, a problem just came up.''
''What happened? We only have a couple minutes to prove my innocence!''
''Yeah sorry, but something happened and, uh... the evidence we have to prove you're not guilty got replaced with a bunch of Tetriminos.''

This goes so hard.
Here from Liminal Land
To me, it sounds like you woke up at four in the morning to the end credits of a detective drama from the 80's/90's.
CDi war damals eine Revolution und die Musik zu diesem Spiel saustark
So nostalgic and dramatic... I'm like back to the past.
Also, 1001st like!
Fun Fact: This song was used in the ROBLOX game, "Tower Game 5". In their "Region 1" lobby, it is used as the background track.
this music sounds so good to just zone out to
So... your telling me this is from a tetris game? One of, if not THE most calming songs i've ever heard is from a tetris game?
Why does this sound like the wii forcast/weather channel?
This should be the end credits song for 2020
Came from The8BitDrummer. Holy crap, this is Tetris?
I'm pleasantly surprised as well
You think this sounds odd for Tetris? Try going down the playlist on my channel all the way to Level 6.
This sounds like a song that would play in a Plants vs Zombies anime, if such a thing were to exist.
almost sounds like gran turismo music but vaporwave
Here cause of Tetris Forever talk on MinnMax. They brought up how they should had included Tetris CDi because how Zen it feels
Ngl, the first second made me think this was gonna go into the title screen for OOT.
If anyone can give me some suggestions of other types of instrumentals like this. I love it.
Incredibly 90s. Would fit right into an episode of Dorktown.
This is so good
This is straight New Age music
Anyone else here because of The 8-bit Drummmer?
YOOOOO
A resident evil 4 hd video brought me here but this video led me to 8bit he's awesome

love it

Man this soundtrack needs to be like re released on cd and vinyl
Kinda reminds me of Plants vs Zombies.

Reminds me of Dire Dire Docks
Theme of google images dog
