it actually holds quite a lot of meaning in the lore. in the first game, the moon that Gibby ruled from was not a natural sattelite but something he had made to rule from. The sign of the Full Moon probably became a symbol of oppression in anyone who opposed Gibby. So then there's Wayne. The sign of the waning crescent, the image of that power on its way out so we can finally have the new moon of freedom.
So weird to see chuck salamone on the credits of this game of all places. I went to highschool with him a loooong while back. Good to see him still doing musical stuff.
I love how gibby's just marching towards you, all intimidatingly, I like to imagine Wayne's party is just inching back, scared of gibby's new form, and trying to push gibby back, but gibby won't stop moving.
I mean, they aren't really scared if they decided to go against the one that tried messing with their shabby world, you can even see it with Wayne's "Gibbyyyyyyy!"
Honestly adore the way the hylics duology plays out like an ancient myth meant to describe why the moon waxes and wanes but with a sort of cynical detatched bent to it. Absolutely amazing pair of games, obviously intelligemt without becoming utterly masturbatory about it
One of my absolute favorite differences between Hylics 1 and 2 is how legitimately intimidating Gibby is in the 2nd game. Everything from his revamped design that better shows just how massive he really is, to the way his body parts individually gyrate and twist around each other, to the strange psychic influence he has on the inhabitants of the world, and definitely this music, the way it slowly comes in with that smooth bass, to how it suddenly explodes into this mess of musical euphoria that, along with "Look ma, I fly now!", sounds infinitely more intimidating than anything else in either of the games. Sorry for the long winded comment but i just cant get over my love for this games soundtrack. While i adore how strange and atmospheric the OST for the first game is, this one has music that I legitimately want to listen to outside of the game.
I do think gibby looked much more ominous in the first game tho, the super sunken cheeks and permanently disinterested expression created a real interesting aesthetic
'Hearken to my words Wayne, and your friends Somnosa, Dedesmuln, and Pongorma, for I have performed an elongated soaking of the body in the fluids excreted by Hylemskylem. Now, if you would be so kind as to direct your field of vision towards myself, I have achieved the powers akin to a celestial being, a state commonly known as "Omnipotence".' - Gibby
This is in a weird-ass scale. I showed it to my friend who knows much more about music theory than me and even he could barely make any sense of it. And yet it somehow works! This song blows my mind. Or should I say, it blows my Fancy Meat Computer.
Don’t think to hard about it. There’s a set key (before the two modulations that happen), but it’s more about just playing with pitch alteration/accidentals.
Im gonna be honest, old forms of visual media like vhs tape-style, claymation and stuff scare the living crap outta me. But something about Hylics is so charming, so mesmerising...
I like how in a world of disturbing and odd looking creatures, you still made Lord Gibby look really creepy and unnatural. Just something about the way it moves and gyrates... super imposing final boss.
@@spinyjustspiny3289 Good point. All the other bosses stay in place and dance to the music, Gibby and his minions are the only ones who march towards you, and the background movement makes it look like Wayne and his crew are backing away from him. He's so intimidating that the crew had to back away as they're fighting him.
I just randomly found this and this is one of the coolest and most interesting game tracks ive ever heard. And after reading through the comments i 100% have to play these games
Song: Fancy Meat Computer Gibbys main attack: magically turning a computer into a meaty brain, which then attacks a member of your party. Coincidence? I think not
Would you lose your mind if Mason corroborated that the brain computer animation is far older than this track...and that I had never seen it? I was notified of a meat motif for the battle, but I was not notified of that move, or the corespondent animation. I just about lost my shit when I saw it, too.
Let me tell you how amazing this final battle is. Gibby returns, revitalizing himself into a supreme being. He resembles an amalgamation of meat and appendages but he is not hindered or ruined. No. He takes the new form well, taking a stride towards our heroes. Across the battle, he creates minions. The tyrant king, once sitting upon a throne before his first demise, now marches with his newly created army. Even worse, he is a colossus of incredible power, sacrificing his soldiers for his powers. A monstrous commander laying ruin to the battlefield. The party has to keep distance as he marches, throwing whatever they can to stop his rampage. You are fighting a supreme being and his army of meat beings. You are the last thing between him and world domination. You must win.
The previous Gibby theme was so cool. This game takes it to a whole another level. Love how there's this extreme contrast between any other song in the game, and this one. All the songs are just chill and even a bit goofy and then this one just SLAPS you with tension and the grand finale feel. This contrast is something not very many games try, and rightfully so, but when it works, it works so perfectly within the context and the overall aesthetic of the game.
still listening to this song after a few years now. it just never gets old, its that good to me. and seeing how theres been a somewhat of a rise of popularity on hylics on tiktok recently makes me hope more people play the games and realize how good both the games are and the same with the osts
If I told you this was the theme to a boss fight against a zombie moon man about to blow up the world, that the battle was fought atop a tower of intertwining meat called Hylemxylem, and that you gained infinite wisdom via the use of a paper cup, you would absolutely believe me without question.
This song is genuinely going to be my most listened to song of 2020. I’ve had it on repeat for months. I may have an actual obsession with it, nothing else hits the same for me.
What I find really weird about Gibby is how drastically different he looks compared to how he looks in Hylics 1. Instead of being this armored guy with this big round head and a mohawk he's this giant made out of floating chunks of meat with a giant coin-like head and realistic hands and feet.
I loved how in your face this theme was, especially for how intimidating second-gibby was in this game. Every song in the first game, even the final boss was pretty relaxed (from what I remember), and every other song is pretty relaxed too, but this is like "Dude, you really did it this time. Here he comes... But don't back away; you've done it before, you can do it again."
i really really dig the part at around 1:56 where you just take one short, like 4-pluck riff and just ride the hell out of it... it feels like reaching the part of a battle where you can't back off, there's nothing to do but buckle down and fight harder. quality stuff, chuck.
This song first caught my attention when I was watching forsen speedrun minecraft and he had this in his doomer/zoomer playlist. Loved this song so much that I bought Hylics 1 & 2, desperately waiting to get to this song and I find out its the Gibbys final boss music. This was such a fun rabbit hole to get into and I'm looking forward to what Chuck & Mason cook up in the future!
Les Claypool, Adam Jones and everyone from King Gizzard had a baby, named it Chuck. Out of nowhere he bust out this bomb ass soundtrack. Fathers be proud
CHARGE UP *bottomless juice used 3x* BOMBO GENESIS CHARGE UP *bottomless juice used 3x* BOMBO GENESIS CHARGE UP *bottomless juice used 3x* BOMBO GENESIS CHARGE UP *bottomless juice used 3x* BOMBO GENESIS
Oof, just imagining a fictional character, aware there's more to their world, seeking omnipotence, finding what is truly rare, and still ending up mortal! "I have BATHED in the terrestrial waters. WHERE IS MY OMNIPOTENCE!?"
As someone who's played countless RPG's (both traditional JRPG's and the quirky EarthBound-inspired variety,) Gibby as a boss was ridiculously easy, but that didn't stop him from being what I think is probably the most enjoyable RPG final boss I've ever faced off against.
Yeah I was so surprised by how little of a challenge he was, especially after he absolutely destroyed me in the first game, and generally the battles throughout the game not being particularly easy either
Right. That thing is huge, disproportionate, and made up of miscellaneous biological parts. The worst part is that it also slowly walks towards you as well, in a threatening manner
god im such a fucking sucker for pipe organs in boss themes and theyre utilized fucking EXCELLENTLY here. i think the complete 180 in musical tone really emphasizes the stakes. most of the other themes are relatively laid back, but this one is just pressure incarnate. and the organ provides a great, solid backing to the sort of 'wall of sound' that gives this fight its tension. that and having a giant hulking pseudo-god stomping towards you probably helps
I just found out about you and your art 2 days ago. Instantly picked up Hylics 2 on steam. I just got the airship. I love this game, it's music, it's art. This is probably the most soul I've ever seen put into a game. It is definitely the most unique. I love this game.
ok coming back here after like 2 years of me discovering this game just to say wow. *wow.* when i say this game stuck with me i Meant that. inspired me, shaped me, all of the good verbs. it’s that media i just keep coming back to, and this rippin’ soundtrack is suuuch a big part of that. wish i had the energy to go into detail about why i love this soundtrack so much, but alas. i’m Sleepy. youve probably seen me before chuck, hi, sorry again for inviting you to a groupchat that one time, but most of all thaaaank you for quite possibly changing my life
I can't believe I only recently got around to playing this game, and the soundtrack completely blows me away in such a way I'm not sure any other video game soundtrack quite has. The game's a visual treat and the music's an auditory treat. There's never an urge to skip to the "best part" because the entire thing is the best part; each track from beginning to end is a journey that pulls you in and holds your attention, but not in an overwhelming way. I love the motif usage, and I'm just so floored by how fascinating it all sounds- the textures, the composition, the vibes. And this track is perfect for facing off against such a climactic and intimidating character. Definitely in my all-time favorite soundtracks for things.
This has a really strange, interesting feeling. Most of it is kind of weirdly ominous, but when things really kick into high gear at 1:55 it feels like you get hit by an absolute wall of pressure. The intense part of the song literally makes me imagine Gibby bearing down on top of you, like a huge, powerful presence almost physically crushing you with its weight.
I just realized Fancy Meat Computer could just be another way of describing a brain. Which, well, could be a good way of describing many of the fleshy things in this game, including Gibby himself, at least in his final form. It could _also_ be a reference to how Gibby is the _brain_ or mind behind the action of the Hylemxylem.
I've already commented once but i seriously can't get over how good of a final boss theme this is, 1:35 really does it for me with its chord progression.
Gibby: Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me? Wayne: I can't beat the glands out of you without getting closer. Gibby: Oh really...then get as close as you need to.
Thank you for making this pleasing sensation of sound available for acquisition by monetary matter. This is easily one of the most supreme last boss auditories I have ever had my ears be attuned to!
Mason, I loved this game. It's the exact kind of bizarre and engaging that I enjoy. I'd love to see a third, if what Odozier said at the end is a hint of things to come.
Oddly enough, years later i am reminded of this music by Splatoon 3's final boss of all things... Both music pieces demonstrate a audible battle between two sides, as it transitions gradually from the villain to the heroes. This music, being Gibby's theme, starts off entirely chaotic and ever-changing much like his body, and his desired vision of the world. But, as the battle continues, a certain new tune starts to cover up his desired chaos, with a new, more distinct and rhythmic beat of a guitar (and occasionally drums). In a way, this is like the musical embodiment of the desire for identity that Wayne, Snomsosa, Dedusmuln and Pongorma have. They temporarily overwrite most of Gibby's chaotic instruments, and change the music to give it a distinct identity, instead of letting it blend amongst the countless combinations of chaotic tracks that we certainly heard a lot of in Hylics 1. It's literally a battle, going on in both combat and music, fitting since the team also act as a coordinated musical band when together, and Gibby would rather melt it all into chaos. Chuck Salamone, you did a fantastic job of making this music have such a distinct difference to most if not all of the other Hylics 1 and 2 music. And, in a way, we also have the team to thank for it, and Mason Lindroth to thank for the world that this music has been shaped upon. Everything has come together in such a perfect combination, for such a good climax to a mystical and deep series.
I appreciate you! I loved composing and performing/recording this piece! It’s very “Rob Zombie,” by design. Mason wanted a “slow goth punk anthem” for this final battle. It is evident that people really enjoy this one, which is so gratifying! Thanks for listening/supporting us.
this exemplary musical track accompanied by the preternatural gesticulations of the imposing space-tyrant certainly succeeds in galvanizing my fancy meat computer, sterling toil to mason lindroth and his cohort chuck salamone for beholding us such an ethereal experience
I always thought Gibby's appearance in this fight was a pun on his name, which was originally picked as a pun on moon phase like Wayne, and making a different pun of giblets, a term in games for chunks of meat or robot parts or what have you that burst out of killed enemies. Something we see with each enemy we defeat in this game itself, Gibby included
ah yes my favouritist final boss ost ever. feels like all the leitmotifs and instruments are coalescing and fusing together to create this nerve-racking, loud, and muscle pumping track. the drums definitely add to the energy. and then it just escalates and gets even MORE intense; i'm pretty sure this is the loudest song in the entire game. beatuifful, showsotpijg
I’ve definitely gotta admit that this is definitely the best song in the game, though i really enjoy Ma Look I Fly Now, Prevailing Westerlies, That’s A Big Stick, Them’s Fighting Words, New Muldul, Mystic Cryptic, and Finale. But they definitely don’t come anywhere close to how much this track kills it, definitely once it swells up, and Chuck, goes nuts on the electric guitar, and the drums, my god it’s so glorious it makes me feel pumped as hell this track definitely will go well to listen to in the background, but extensions of all the songs i listed, and definitely this one are in order i would love having this song, and the others i mentioned on in the background. But Mason, man thank you for blessing us with this sequel it means a lot, and Chuck, i hope you keep creating awesome, songs like this for years to come. Until then i will rock out to this for 1000 years.
Firstly, thank you for the kind words. Secondly, Wait until you do some proper internet sleuthing an find all of the other stuff and play and sing on. Happy Hunting and THANK YOU for listening. It's folks like you that give my art meaning.
Chuck Salamone Well it’s my pleasure, because man you killed it on this soundtrack, and everyone seems to think so. I am sure that i will find more of your work, and i can’t wait to do some hunting for all of it. Lastly i am glad that someone like me can help you feel accomplished it makes me feel good to hear your words. Rock on Chuck.
Loved watching vinny play the original and the new game, the music is awesome, just bought the second games soundtrack. Thank you so much for creating this! :D
This is definitely one of those songs I find myself coming back to every now and then. It’s an incredibly unique final boss, for an incredibly unique game. The wobbly guitar sound gives it a goofy or almost playful feeling, while also keeping you on edge by not staying on a set note. 0:00 - 0:08 makes me feel like I’m submerged under water with the music just barely reaching me. 0:10 - 0:30 is an explosion of musical euphoria. You are no longer submerged under that water; you feel like you’re in the middle of a concert. 0:30 - 0:50 A minor melody starts to play that I would associate with Gibby. The drums become more prominent and their beat becomes menacing. 0:50 - 1:11 The bass line becomes more sinister while also having this “cool” or “confident” vibe, as Gibby feels his victory is assured with his newfound “omnipotence”. 1:11 - 1:15 A brief moment of respite where the pressure lets up a bit. The notes from the very beginning of the song repeat for one line, letting you know the music is about to get more intense, as well as the fight. 1:15 - 1:36 Sounds more confident and I believe it is in Major key, it gives me the vibe that Wayne’s party is getting the upper hand against Gibby. 1:36 - 1:56 Wayne and his friends’ strength is starting to become too much for Gibby to handle 1:56 Triumph
Accidentals aside, best I can tell the changes are: Eb phrygian dominant, C harmonic minor, C altered scale, and then back to Eb phrygian dominant (which transitions wonderfully because of the expectation set of those notes changing with accidentals throughout the piece, particularly the 3rd of the phrygian dominant)
You could probably consider it to be just regular phrygian rather than phrygian dominant, I'm not experienced enough to really decide where to make the call on which is the accidental there
wouldn't a fancy meat computer be a person? Also I swear in my life I had a dream like a year ago where I wrote this in the comments of a video with the same picture wtf
Specifically a person's brain, as the other parts of a person's body would all fulfill the roles of different machines. It's interesting to note that the human brain, to this day, is still regarded as being possibly the most sophisticated computer there is. This is also illustrated in Gibby's move Teardown, where a computer is stripped of its shell to reveal a brain, which then forms a hand to attack you.
i didn't understood shit about neither of the 2 games but they were so fucking COOL! and the 2nd's soundtrack is a damn gem, i'm so glad i got to experience these games, thank you Mason and Chuck

I feel dumb for just realizing wayne is a waning crescent and gibby is a gibbous moon

The sign of the Full Moon probably became a symbol of oppression in anyone who opposed Gibby. So then there's Wayne. The sign of the waning crescent, the image of that power on its way out so we can finally have the new moon of freedom.

It’s kinda confirmed
The ground is always moving away, and when the gibs hit the ground, they recede into the distance
I mean, they aren't really scared if they decided to go against the one that tried messing with their shabby world, you can even see it with Wayne's "Gibbyyyyyyy!"
It's just too bad that the fight itself is pretty easy.

i really really dig the part at around 1:56 where you just take one short, like 4-pluck riff and just ride the hell out of it... it feels like reaching the part of a battle where you can't back off, there's nothing to do but buckle down and fight harder. quality stuff, chuck.
Thank you for that.
yeah.
Thank you Vinny for introducing me to this incredible game

This song first caught my attention when I was watching forsen speedrun minecraft and he had this in his doomer/zoomer playlist. Loved this song so much that I bought Hylics 1 & 2, desperately waiting to get to this song and I find out its the Gibbys final boss music. This was such a fun rabbit hole to get into and I'm looking forward to what Chuck & Mason cook up in the future!
if i ever make a game i can only hope the final boss music is as rad as this. utterly fantastic work
Les Claypool, Adam Jones and everyone from King Gizzard had a baby, named it Chuck. Out of nowhere he bust out this bomb ass soundtrack. Fathers be proud

One of the few boss themes I've heard that actually gives me goosebumps. Love it.

this song literally got me into hylics it randomly played on spotify i learnt it was a game and had an amazing experience

I can seriously appreciate just how intimidating this tune alone is. I get goosebumps every so often when I listen.
Make me want to act like a villain

Oof, just imagining a fictional character, aware there's more to their world, seeking omnipotence, finding what is truly rare, and still ending up mortal!

@@chuck_salamone Big fan of your work! I listen to the soundtrack all the time, very inspirational. Thanks for replying 😁
This song slaps and completely satisfies my fancy meat computer.
This song keeps playing in my head. It won't leave me alone. Help.
I don't know why weeks later I only just really processed how freaking awesome this song is, but it's incredible.

As someone who's played countless RPG's (both traditional JRPG's and the quirky EarthBound-inspired variety,) Gibby as a boss was ridiculously easy, but that didn't stop him from being what I think is probably the most enjoyable RPG final boss I've ever faced off against.
Yeah I was so surprised by how little of a challenge he was, especially after he absolutely destroyed me in the first game, and generally the battles throughout the game not being particularly easy either
Gibby is scary AF
Right. That thing is huge, disproportionate, and made up of miscellaneous biological parts. The worst part is that it also slowly walks towards you as well, in a threatening manner
Tf you doin here!
god im such a fucking sucker for pipe organs in boss themes and theyre utilized fucking EXCELLENTLY here. i think the complete 180 in musical tone really emphasizes the stakes. most of the other themes are relatively laid back, but this one is just pressure incarnate. and the organ provides a great, solid backing to the sort of 'wall of sound' that gives this fight its tension. that and having a giant hulking pseudo-god stomping towards you probably helps
Hylics my beloved ♥️
🙏🏻
this feels like the crown jewel of the whole OST, a diamond atop a mountain of gold
Haha, cheers. It’s a fitting end for sure. Can’t wait to release more Hylics related musical content.
I just found out about you and your art 2 days ago. Instantly picked up Hylics 2 on steam. I just got the airship. I love this game, it's music, it's art. This is probably the most soul I've ever seen put into a game. It is definitely the most unique. I love this game.
Did ya beat it
I have zero desire to play the game but this song has me in a chokehold
Yo, play it!
With love,

@@chuck_salamoneIt's a spectacular game! I love everything about it, and its soundtrack is one of the best things I've ever heard!
@@chuck_salamoneoh hi Chuck salamone
@ howdy.
ok coming back here after like 2 years of me discovering this game just to say wow. *wow.* when i say this game stuck with me i Meant that. inspired me, shaped me, all of the good verbs. it’s that media i just keep coming back to, and this rippin’ soundtrack is suuuch a big part of that. wish i had the energy to go into detail about why i love this soundtrack so much, but alas. i’m Sleepy. youve probably seen me before chuck, hi, sorry again for inviting you to a groupchat that one time, but most of all thaaaank you for quite possibly changing my life
No worries, homie! So glad you enjoy Hylics and continue to enjoy it!
Just finished Hylics 2 and goddamn. Wonderful game Mason, and wonderful music Chuck. Randomly generated text/10
Thanks for playing! So glad you enjoyed it.
I can't believe I only recently got around to playing this game, and the soundtrack completely blows me away in such a way I'm not sure any other video game soundtrack quite has. The game's a visual treat and the music's an auditory treat. There's never an urge to skip to the "best part" because the entire thing is the best part; each track from beginning to end is a journey that pulls you in and holds your attention, but not in an overwhelming way. I love the motif usage, and I'm just so floored by how fascinating it all sounds- the textures, the composition, the vibes. And this track is perfect for facing off against such a climactic and intimidating character. Definitely in my all-time favorite soundtracks for things.
THANK YOU for the kind words!
Hylics: Fancy Meat Computer
Microsoft: Now releasing our new "Windows Sirloin Steak"
sure its a meat computer but is it fancy
This has a really strange, interesting feeling. Most of it is kind of weirdly ominous, but when things really kick into high gear at 1:55 it feels like you get hit by an absolute wall of pressure. The intense part of the song literally makes me imagine Gibby bearing down on top of you, like a huge, powerful presence almost physically crushing you with its weight.
By design.
@@chuck_salamone Late reply, but it's quite the honour to have the artist himself confirm my observations! Thanks for making this awesome song!
I'm still coming back a year later and listening to this soundtrack, so good I put it in my jogging playlist.
The fight where multi-juice was the MVP
I just realized Fancy Meat Computer could just be another way of describing a brain.
Which, well, could be a good way of describing many of the fleshy things in this game, including Gibby himself, at least in his final form. It could _also_ be a reference to how Gibby is the _brain_ or mind behind the action of the Hylemxylem.
I've already commented once but i seriously can't get over how good of a final boss theme this is, 1:35 really does it for me with its chord progression.
I’m glad you enjoy that section!
Gibby: Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?
Wayne: I can't beat the glands out of you without getting closer.
Gibby: Oh really...then get as close as you need to.
Gibby: starts walking towards Wayne.
Wayne: ...wut
Stand Master: Ｇｉｂｂｙ
Stand: 「Ｆａｎｃｙ Ｍｅａｔ」
I mean the battle did take place in a bathtub so at least some personal space norms were broken...

Thank you for making this pleasing sensation of sound available for acquisition by monetary matter. This is easily one of the most supreme last boss auditories I have ever had my ears be attuned to!
Mason, I loved this game. It's the exact kind of bizarre and engaging that I enjoy. I'd love to see a third, if what Odozier said at the end is a hint of things to come.
Oh my, this pleases my fancy meat computer's overly elaborate hearing apparatuses. This would make for a good psychedelic experience
Oddly enough, years later i am reminded of this music by Splatoon 3's final boss of all things...
Both music pieces demonstrate a audible battle between two sides, as it transitions gradually from the villain to the heroes.
This music, being Gibby's theme, starts off entirely chaotic and ever-changing much like his body, and his desired vision of the world. But, as the battle continues, a certain new tune starts to cover up his desired chaos, with a new, more distinct and rhythmic beat of a guitar (and occasionally drums).
In a way, this is like the musical embodiment of the desire for identity that Wayne, Snomsosa, Dedusmuln and Pongorma have. They temporarily overwrite most of Gibby's chaotic instruments, and change the music to give it a distinct identity, instead of letting it blend amongst the countless combinations of chaotic tracks that we certainly heard a lot of in Hylics 1.
It's literally a battle, going on in both combat and music, fitting since the team also act as a coordinated musical band when together, and Gibby would rather melt it all into chaos.
Chuck Salamone, you did a fantastic job of making this music have such a distinct difference to most if not all of the other Hylics 1 and 2 music. And, in a way, we also have the team to thank for it, and Mason Lindroth to thank for the world that this music has been shaped upon.
Everything has come together in such a perfect combination, for such a good climax to a mystical and deep series.
The funk is killing me. Chuck, you genius!
I appreciate you! I loved composing and performing/recording this piece! It’s very “Rob Zombie,” by design. Mason wanted a “slow goth punk anthem” for this final battle. It is evident that people really enjoy this one, which is so gratifying! Thanks for listening/supporting us.
@@chuck_salamoneIT'S INFLUENCED BY ROB ZOMBIE? HELL YEAH!
@@waterPsychiatrist heh heh, that’s right! Thunderkiss ‘65, to be specific.
this exemplary musical track accompanied by the preternatural gesticulations of the imposing space-tyrant certainly succeeds in galvanizing my fancy meat computer, sterling toil to mason lindroth and his cohort chuck salamone for beholding us such an ethereal experience
Thank you for playing/listening!
This has some climactic "end of the world" vibes to it, and damn is it funky. Love this whole soundtrack so far.
Never played the game, but was recommended by my algorithm.
I wish would be available for purchase.
In Steam you can buy both games
But the soundtrack isn't. It is a good work music.
@@padung6018 I heard they're releasing it on Spotify soon
I always thought Gibby's appearance in this fight was a pun on his name, which was originally picked as a pun on moon phase like Wayne, and making a different pun of giblets, a term in games for chunks of meat or robot parts or what have you that burst out of killed enemies. Something we see with each enemy we defeat in this game itself, Gibby included
ah yes my favouritist final boss ost ever. feels like all the leitmotifs and instruments are coalescing and fusing together to create this nerve-racking, loud, and muscle pumping track. the drums definitely add to the energy. and then it just escalates and gets even MORE intense; i'm pretty sure this is the loudest song in the entire game. beatuifful, showsotpijg
Hahaha, it very much is the absolute loudest one in the game. By design! Looking forward to releasing more Hylics related music soon.
@@chuck_salamone oh hey, the man himself! can't wait to see what you're creating and crafting behind the scenes :)

Pulsating from beneath the Lumen , vibrations Vividly increase .

Misfortunate. But not ungood.
Who's triangulating the chemicals?
The physics rubber duck in Gibby's lair is hilarious to me
God this is SO heavy

This song radiates such a chaotic energy... *AND I LOVE IT.*

He really do be walkin tho. Walking towards the end of your life.
Also, wanted to say Chuck did an absolutely KILLER job on this track! It's been stuck in my head for days.
Mason and I are glad you are enjoying it!
i'll mash that like button no matter how many times it's re-uploaded :') thanks for the dedication and hardwork ❤️️ fantastic game, visuals and music
I’ve definitely gotta admit that this is definitely the best song in the game, though i really enjoy Ma Look I Fly Now, Prevailing Westerlies, That’s A Big Stick, Them’s Fighting Words, New Muldul, Mystic Cryptic, and Finale. But they definitely don’t come anywhere close to how much this track kills it, definitely once it swells up, and Chuck, goes nuts on the electric guitar, and the drums, my god it’s so glorious it makes me feel pumped as hell this track definitely will go well to listen to in the background, but extensions of all the songs i listed, and definitely this one are in order i would love having this song, and the others i mentioned on in the background. But Mason, man thank you for blessing us with this sequel it means a lot, and Chuck, i hope you keep creating awesome, songs like this for years to come. Until then i will rock out to this for 1000 years.
Firstly, thank you for the kind words. Secondly, Wait until you do some proper internet sleuthing an find all of the other stuff and play and sing on. Happy Hunting and THANK YOU for listening. It's folks like you that give my art meaning.
Chuck Salamone Well it’s my pleasure, because man you killed it on this soundtrack, and everyone seems to think so. I am sure that i will find more of your work, and i can’t wait to do some hunting for all of it. Lastly i am glad that someone like me can help you feel accomplished it makes me feel good to hear your words. Rock on Chuck.

This is definitely one of those songs I find myself coming back to every now and then. It’s an incredibly unique final boss, for an incredibly unique game.
The wobbly guitar sound gives it a goofy or almost playful feeling, while also keeping you on edge by not staying on a set note.
0:00 - 0:08 makes me feel like I’m submerged under water with the music just barely reaching me.
0:10 - 0:30 is an explosion of musical euphoria. You are no longer submerged under that water; you feel like you’re in the middle of a concert.
0:30 - 0:50 A minor melody starts to play that I would associate with Gibby. The drums become more prominent and their beat becomes menacing.
0:50 - 1:11 The bass line becomes more sinister while also having this “cool” or “confident” vibe, as Gibby feels his victory is assured with his newfound “omnipotence”.
1:11 - 1:15 A brief moment of respite where the pressure lets up a bit. The notes from the very beginning of the song repeat for one line, letting you know the music is about to get more intense, as well as the fight.
1:15 - 1:36 Sounds more confident and I believe it is in Major key, it gives me the vibe that Wayne’s party is getting the upper hand against Gibby.
1:36 - 1:56 Wayne and his friends’ strength is starting to become too much for Gibby to handle
1:56 Triumph
I appreciate this analysis so much! You totally got it, too! Thank you so much for listening.
@@chuck_salamone Ofc man! Your music is fantastic, and i had a lot of fun analyzing it! ^^
Accidentals aside, best I can tell the changes are: Eb phrygian dominant, C harmonic minor, C altered scale, and then back to Eb phrygian dominant (which transitions wonderfully because of the expectation set of those notes changing with accidentals throughout the piece, particularly the 3rd of the phrygian dominant)
You could probably consider it to be just regular phrygian rather than phrygian dominant, I'm not experienced enough to really decide where to make the call on which is the accidental there
@@egan452 The flat 2 is a dead giveaway, heh.
I love this song so much, it's perfect for a final boss! Good job Mason and Chuck!!!

wouldn't a fancy meat computer be a person? Also I swear in my life I had a dream like a year ago where I wrote this in the comments of a video with the same picture wtf
Deja vu! I've just been in this place before
@@Toasterloaf you guys are finally back. we missed you.
Specifically a person's brain, as the other parts of a person's body would all fulfill the roles of different machines. It's interesting to note that the human brain, to this day, is still regarded as being possibly the most sophisticated computer there is.
This is also illustrated in Gibby's move Teardown, where a computer is stripped of its shell to reveal a brain, which then forms a hand to attack you.
i didn't understood shit about neither of the 2 games but they were so fucking COOL! and the 2nd's soundtrack is a damn gem, i'm so glad i got to experience these games, thank you Mason and Chuck
You're welcome!
I love the 70s rock vibes from this. In fact, I get that from a lot of the rest of the soundtrack. The psychedellic art style of the game also helps.
Thank you Mason for this fuckin' gem of a game and thank you Chuck for composing such a great ass soundtrack.
