This is my love letter to Andreas Waldetoft and the incredible team who composed the Hoi4 sound track. Every song, start to finish is an absolute joy to listen to. All of them create a specific picture in my head of what was intended behind their creation. The Allies theme is simply incredible and, though I may sound silly, fills me with a sense of what an Allied soldier's emotions and sense of duty was. Its by far my favourite piece, harkening back to those old war films like 'A Bridge Too Far' and 'The Longest Day'. Other pieces like 'A Song for the Children' and the marvellous 'The War's End' I rate pretty highly too as they make me sympathise with the struggle of the civilian and the yearning for liberation and end to the war. The soundtrack is 10/10 in my opinion and good enough to play even when I'm not playing Hoi4. Simply marvellous!
I sent this to Andreas ^^ And its such a fitting time as he is currently writing new HOI 4 music and this comment has created new inspiration ❤ //Katten
@@Mmat2016 After 4000 hours it can get a bit tiresome, but whenever I have it enabled, I switch it up with different radio mods, like Major & Minor Marches, or HOI3 radio which have some familiar tracks, but different sound.
There is also the tea and Turkish delights, the generic nation leader, the ship for man the guns, the aircraft blueprint for by blood alone, the t-34 might be for no step back, the ships in the background references the menu screen, there is a classified document for la resistance, and that is all I saw.
ok here are some of the references that I found: genetic portrait guy error doggo liberators poster, reference to resistance DLC plane schematics, reference to BBA a tiger and T34 outside references to NSB toy boat and ships in the distance, reference to Man the Guns Franz Conrad book Turkish coffee? the soldier looks to be either Aussie or NZ, hat especially there are probably more as well
That T-34 looks awfully familiar to the one from the anime Girls und Panzer. Look at the red flagon the side of the turret. Looks more like the logo of Pravda than the soviet flag.
Could you ever do a supercut of the various soundeffects of HOI4? The sounddesign is really wonderful, my absolute favourite is the sound when you decrypt a country's code.
Honestly pretty neat idea, I've listened to it so much already it really is kinda just... soothing. the soundtrack for Hoi will never get old for me and Mr Waldetoft did a fantastic job, I'd personally put the Hoi4 soundtrack up there with the greats like Halo or Project Wingman and even now I feel a sense of nostalgia every time I hear Morning of D-day or A song for the Children of ww2, just incredibly recognisable that have been playing for some of my favourite moments spent playing games, hopefully, he can see how much love is being thrown around in the comments for his work. 10/10 soundtrack. Also, I love the dev dog so much... He's bought me so much pain recently and yet is always a pleasure to see the happy little good boy.
In my city it was very dark because of the storm but as soon as the music of Soviet Victory started to play the sky even opened up for the sun to light up the mighty red army to come out victorious
Chinese General: Knowing that the IJA had a pre-set kill limit, I selflessly sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they hit the limit and shut down.
I always play with the in-game music but I’d absolute listen to this while driving. I genuinely love the soundtrack to this game. The music is amazing and it’s for a map game 😂 10/10 soundtrack. Adding the old music to the game was an awesome move too. HOI2 Overture
Andreas Waldetoft’s work is nothing short of a masterpiece. Imo, his music is what makes this game so iconic to me. I just wish more people outside of Paradox’s community knew more about him.
Now i understand how cool would it be if they or someone they hire make a cartoon about some of the possible alternative scenarios (from normal to the most cursed ones) from non-historical HOI4, something like What if... from Marvel. I would LOVE to see that.
Morning of D-Day is the one that hits hardest. Next to that is Hearts of Men, and because I do modding, A Song for the Children of WW2, because it always plays when booting, and boy have I heard that many times.
This is will always be one of my favorite main themes of any game. I often pause once loading and before starting a game to let it play out. I can think of no other song that evokes the heroism that came with the World War 2 better than it.

Is he enjoying Turkish Coffee with Turkish Delight? Also would you consider doing mod reviews and tier listing them with the topic of percentage probability for coming to vanilla game? That will be wild.
The royal air force has always been my favorite song. It just shows the light of liberation and freedom in ways all the other song in it’s vein just doesn’t do. I got a mod that adds hoi4 songs into Stellaris and it’s my favorite out of all of them
As much as Paradox has a tendency to blunder DLC's and what not, they sure do know how to make an amazing music and visuals. I'd love a thing like this for the music in CKII and CKIII. Stellaris even too, but not as much so. Admittedly though, Hearts of Iron IV easily has the best paradox soundtrack, or maybe it's just the most nostalgic for me.
I am a lot but NOT a Hoi4 veteran or even that good at the game to begin with. I am in about 200 hours of the game and still learning, besides my general interest with war and with the idea of changing historical events the games soundtrack is one of the many things that made thoose first 200 hours fly by with joy.

LoFi means Low Fidelity, or imperfections (sometimes intentional) in the audio. It's not necessarily a genre of music. So if there's any imperfections or oddities in this video compared to the OST, then it'd be safe to categorize it as LoFi... ...unless the OST itself already has them, making the OST LoFi already... That all being said, IMO would have been better had this been lofi hip hop remixes of the OST instead of just the base OST.

Is the hat on top of the books significant?
Wojtek, a reference to man the guns in the background, generic leader portrait, dev dog and maybe plane designer on the table?

Turkish coffee and Turkish delight detail is very good.

toy boat and ships in the distance, reference to Man the Guns

Turkish coffee?
the soldier looks to be either Aussie or NZ, hat especially
there are probably more as well
Wojtek the Bear, the rightful king of Poland
It's definitely Turkish coffee, because the cubes next to it are Turkish delight.
I think those cubes could be turkish delights as well, would explain the coffee
That T-34 looks awfully familiar to the one from the anime Girls und Panzer. Look at the red flagon the side of the turret. Looks more like the logo of Pravda than the soviet flag.
but did you find the among us guy?
Could you ever do a supercut of the various soundeffects of HOI4? The sounddesign is really wonderful, my absolute favourite is the sound when you decrypt a country's code.
Man lofi hoi4 is unexpected, and I love it

i love how there is a photo of one of the generic commander portraits. i dont regret subbing to this
