Hi-Fi Rush Soundtrack - Rekka Boss Music (Flaming Lips - Free Radicals Elsinore Cover)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- This is the boss music that plays during the bossfight with Rekka. The original song was produced by The Flaming Lips, but Elsinore covered it for the version you hear ingame.
This was created using files stitched together from the game, including the cutscene bits. Keep in mind the bridge to Verse 2 has two versions - one of which plays when you're on any difficulty Hard or above (I think). It's essentially the same, but with an extra note to the guitar solo to correspond to Rekka throwing more pipes. This video uses the hard+ version.
This video, if not taken down by copyright ID or something, will be deleted if/when the music is added to streaming services. I'm only uploading this because they haven't released the track yet.

Thank you for your commitment for awesome OST music.
Had a chat with the director about why he did a cover instead of the original. His response: The issue with the original was working with the game. During the verses it has times where the beat “drops out” which we were worried would be a problem for players to identify the beat. Really wanted the song in there so we opted to cover it so we could add in the “claps”
This song is far superior compared to the one they made for the game these fights where built with the copyrighted music in mind
Sounds like a problem that would be easily fixed by adding a clap track.
I rather think a mechanical license was much cheaper than getting a full usage one. Mechanical license allows people to sell their covers.
Even worse if they wanted to ask for the stems.
Those costs can range from 50k to millions.
While a mechanical license is a few cents to a few bucks.
@@WesmoenI believe the clapping in the original song we're done on separate stems and it would have been a pain in the ass to reassemble those stems to incorporate in the game's data
@@TalkSickMass depending on how the stems are mixed.
Guitar hero and Rockband games had overlap issues as well. Made charting and sound syncing harder to do.
Especially with older pre-digital songs.
This song is better, but both are great.
i love how this gets you so unapolagetically hyped just like every other song, but it's something about the claps that make you so much more hyped
For me part of it was definitely the lead in cutscene having her fist bumps timed to the guitar.
It really makes it feel like a wrestling match
@Triforce of Doom This. The repeated use of the two beats prior to the actual fight are just all build up. And the payoff is amazing.
@@ProfessorHeavy1 what I really love is how they had her also do it for some of the buildup to fighting QA-1MIL so it's an established character quirk that they use for her actual fight's buildup.
@@Triforce_of_Doom WAIT THIS ASWELL DUUUDEE it's so hype inducing
All it's missing is the "CLANG! CLANG!" from her fists in the intro. If it had those.... whoo boy.
Someone make an edit fix!
Playing this game on Very Hard was the best decision of my life, I've felt every beat during this fight
This is the first game I've ever played in Very Hard and it's really fun It's not stupid hard like other games
Especially since Rekha beat you in time
Playing the game in normal for the second time on a new file I managed to play the entire game getting a ranks and b ranks and almost not dying but the second last boss gets me everytime
I usually felt said beat in my jaw
So interesting how this particular song seems like it's talking about Chai and how his teammates might find him annoying, stupid and pompous. But it can also be talking about Rekka's relationship with her coworkers and how they view her as a general headache to deal with and perhaps incompetent at her job.
I'd say it also applies to how obsessed he is with becoming a rockstar, but can't even sing or play.
He's pure fanaticism.
actually the song itself is about a musician talking down a suicide bomber but i dont doubt the developers picked it for other reasons
@@fugsystem9720 Wow! I didn't know that, the lyrics make more sense in that context.
@@fugsystem9720 Actually?
@@yodakagekira9550 yep
You know what I like about this game's bosses?
The sudden mechanic changes throughout.
Like the pipe throwing section in this one, i was like "OH SHIT HERE WE GO!"
They really named her "3 hit combo" lol
There is a Taiwanese wrestler who goes by the name Rekka who might be the inspiration too.
There's so many meanings to her names
Some says Rekka is like a pun of a Wrecker or Rekka in Japanese means raging fire
Most characters are named after foods and drinks. Rekka is a kind of spicy ramen.
On that topic:
Chai - tea flavor
Peppermint - tea flavor too
Macaroon - confectionary good with tea. Also a tea flavor.
CNMN - tea flavor again.
Rekka - a spicy ramen.
Zanzo - Sanzo brand sparkling water since he also has his own brand energy drink.
Korsica- Corsican pear spice, which pairs well with tea as an additive.
Mimosa - cocktail of champagne and citrus juices.
Roquefort - an expensive bleu cheese, considered the best kind of bleu cheese.
Kale - a vegetable.
@@GreenGuyGeno Now if only I could figure out where 808 fits. I know it's an instrument, but if everyone else is food, 808 must have a culinary connotation too somewhere.
just noticed her robot hands are painted at the tips. She paints her fingernails pink!
It’s attention to detail like that which makes great character design. Good eye for details!
This fight just feels so in sync with the music. I know everything is, but her attacks, with my dodges into combos, were almost in perfect time with the guitar riffs, moving and fighting just was so easy to get into a rhythm with this.
It's really satisfying to play this game. It's like a dynamic quick time event that actually challenges you, but also telegraphs what to do, so you don't have to think too hard or plan or strategize. You just gotta pay attention, loosen up, and feel the rhythm. It's as relaxing as it is exhilarating!
@@Aflay1 You gotta think a whole lot more on the harder difficulties. Rhythm Master is insane without planning for some parts.
This feels like the Wizen of Hi-Fi RUSH. The game was already a blast, but then this boss shows up and you know just how amazing it is.
🤜💥🤛
🤜💥🤛
This needs those fist sounds in it
Chorus 1 with the background vocals kicking in after Rekka powers up goes so hard 🤤🤤
I really, REALLY love this cover. More than the original song, honestly.
Yea this song is far better than the originally made one
@@billyhatcher643he was talking about the original free radicals, i know you dislike every streamer song between
Thank you so much! I love this cover so much but there's no official release so this is a life saver!
QA 1Mil was a great fight with a great track to boot.
But this fight paired with this song set the tone for the ENTIRE game. I wanna play this fight for the first time again.
I prefer the nine inch nails song way more but in general the copyrighted music is superior compared to the streamer friendly music and a majority of the battles surround the copyrighted music the ost songs just feel out of place
god damn, I need to play high-fi rush again. that is a hell of a game.
Please do its such an amazing game!
BRO THANK YOU!!! I've been trying to find this version of Free Radicals since the game came out and I'm glad you took the time to rip and stitch the audio files together
Not bad, for a DEFECT!
What I love about that cutscene in between the chorus, is if you skip it at the start it can make rekka say “not bad!.. JUICE” idk why but it makes me laugh too much
@@jacobzeba0137 JUICE!!!
I just beat this boss yesterday live on Twitch, this game is just such an amazing experience...magic is the only word I can call it that feels right.
"can you just sit down and play the game properly?"
the game:
Your neck will hurt after the game for bopping hour head for hours trying to get in rythm.
@@cloudshifter to late
You can't tell me to stay seated when I manage to get command grabbed by Rekka.
This song is radical.
And free.
When REKKA banged her fists together, IT WAS ON! I FELT THAT MUTHAFOOKIN BEAT!!!
Still upset this version isnt on spotify... but ill take this anyday!
Im very late but do you know you Can extract this video audio into an MP3 file and put it on Spotify ?
i swear she sings a bit to the tune of the song during the second half of the fight and i cant find anyone else talking about it
hearing a flaming lips deep cut made my jaw hit the floor
This is perfect. Now I can add these to the playlist.
Thank you so much, really was searching for this cover!
Awesome thanks. The original from Flaming Lips was cool but this cover hits all the right notes so to speak.
Thanks for mixing parts up organically
Thank you so much. Sounds so much better than the other attempts at putting the song together I've heard.
Thank you! I thought about piecing together the files, but working with Unreal's proprietary audio format really sucks. Appreciate this very much
cutie spotted
@@thyone3369 huh?????
@@thyone3369 dafuq
Thank you for making the better version
S'cuse me ma'am may I get this sandwich with some extra knuckles I mean knuckles I mean knuckles I mean k
5 miliseconds latter:👊
FINALLY! Someone who uploads in a decent quality the fucking cover, thank you so much
One of the best covers I’ve ever heard. RIP to this studio :(
The cutscenes in this fight are so satisfying.
I love everything about this character
CHAI! CHAI! CHAI! CHAI!!!
There is a translate to English button under this comment. It says bottle instead.
I find it funny, that is all.
This is the boss fight that made me commit to the game. Talk about sensory overload
Every single fight was a sensory overload and i loved it so much every single time
We just need the combat beats added in as well, nothing feels good then landing a heavy hit combo and hearing your guitar blasting its amazing beat with the music
Im sad that its over now😢...
*replays the video* YIPPIE
I feel like if Obi-Wan played this during his fight with Anakin on speaker, he could have actually turned him back to the light side 😂
I wish we got to spend a bit more time with Rekka’s character we really didn’t get to flesh out her character that much.
This song sounds like it's being sung by Gandhi from Clone High. Also the clapping I know was not in the original it was added for the beat indication.
HEY OOOOOH
the lyrics of this are genuinely something i'd expect from Star Trek's Voyager Holo-Doctor
One of the best songs in hack and slash and that's saying something!
i had no idea they were different with hard and normal. I played it all in hard frist time this was epic.
So that’s why the song was different when I looked it up, I found the streamer version of her boss music
I think Rekka is my favorite
"How long would you last? Not long."
HEY YO!
💪🏽💪🏽
Last thing I expected from this game was a flaming lips song ngl
I just can't get into the Captive Normals' version, which is a shame because it _does_ work with the fight.
But this is an earworm. You hear it even after the song's ended and don't mind singing along (badly).
I can't get into it ether I find it very annoying how the people here like it over flaming lips their song is far superior I guess most of the normies here have no taste in music
@@billyhatcher643gamers are known to have negative taste in things so it’s unsurprising.
I hate how pretencious you are in the comments what have the streamer music done to you lol ?@@billyhatcher643
What a gameeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘⚡⚡⚡
YOU DISRESPECTIN ME?
I made love to this song.
It’s a shame that this version isn’t on Apple Music and Spotify, because I would’ve taken it immediately
This version of the song is far better than the original
Thanks for stitching the files! I'd like to ask, how did you get the music files? I only managed to extract sfx and dialogues...
When you extract the pak, you'll get a handful of unsorted .wem files as well as some .bnk files which should just be archives full of .wems.
If I recall correctly, there are a bunch of .bnk files named Music_ST##.bnk where the ## is the number of the stage. You can use foobar2000 with the vgmstream plugin to extract the .wems out of the .bnk archives.
@@gameripemporium Thank you!
@@gameripemporium would i perhaps be able to get the sfx files from you?
Lyrics (For anyone who wants it):
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You think you're so radical
I think you oughta stop
(Say what)
But you're going international
They're gonna call the cops
(No, no, no)
You're turning into
A poor man's Donald Trump
I know those circumstances
Make you wanna jump, oh no
[Chorus 1 bridge]
[Chorus 1]
You think you're radical
But you're not so radical
In fact you're fanatical, fanatical
And you think you're a radical
But you're not so radical
In fact you're fanatical, fanatical
[Verse 2 Bridge]
[Verse 2]
I'll tell you right now
(Right now)
You oughta change your mind
(Yes)
All of your friends are
Standing in line
They're getting tired of
Your attitude fast
(You're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it)
Without all your bodyguards
How long would you last?
Not long, not long
[Chorus 2]
You think you're radical
But you're not so radical
In fact, you're fanatical, fanatical
And you think you're a radical
But you're not so radical
In fact, you're fanatical, fanatical
And you think you're a radical
But you're not so radical
In fact, you're fanatical, fanatical
[Outro]
You think you're radical
But you're not so radical
In fact you're fanatical, fanatical
Rip this isn't on Spotify or at least I can't find it
Hi-Fi Rush × Metal Gear Rising🎵🎸💥
What is the choir during the outro called? Like the style of it
You’re down for the count big boss.
Rhythm master players stand up
Nice also you forgot one zanzo/korsica
Definitely prefer this song when fighting Rekka
However captive normals is something id just listen to when relaxing
After listening to this one I can honestly say that I prefer Captive Normals
Yeah lol. It had all the parts of this that I liked with much stronger lyrics that dont repeat constantly.
Altho Free Radicals still has a unique feel, like this surreal chorus cheering you as you *ACTUALLY* are about to kick her ass
It's like a reverse Captive Normals.
It's a beat, but not original
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero That chorus really sells the song to me, it just sounds so cool hearing it along side the gameplay.
I'm happy that I'm not the only who prefers Captive Normals. To me, the song sounds like a good take of The Killers - Dustland Fairytale. Something with the lyrics and delivery, maybe.
I get into moods for both
Are you going to do this for Inazawa Chainsaw as well?
Any chance you could upload this to archive or google drive or something similar? So it's the raw rip instead of youtube compression.
I'll say it, Rekka's hot
This boss OST went so hard, it was disappointing it didn't get topped for the rest of the game IMO.
Mimosas as fast as you can and Kales the perfect drug definatelly topped it.
Yo Roquefort had that dope remix
@@KoopJupe
Roquefort with that Beethoven Mix 👌
imo this song got topped before it even played in the game with 1000000
Who here started the game on Normal difficulty?
Who here started the game on Hard?
And which unforsaken soul started the game on Very Hard?
EDIT: I finished once on hard, playing again on very hard
Started on Hard but due to an unfortunate glitch I had to finish Kale off on Normal
Started on very hard and just beat mimosa
very hard from the start....had to put it down to hard during stage 4, it was kicking my ass lol.
I started and finished on very hard but I had a lot of trouble lol
I’m on hard for my first time! Just beat Rekka.
Her fight blew me away.
Mommy sorry mommy sorry mommy sorry mommy sorry
This might be the only time in the game where I prefer the streamer mode option…Captive Normals SLAPS!! But good song still
What’s the difference? Are the songs different?
@@wr5488 Streamer mode has completely different songs instead of licensed music.
@@wr5488 they are like covers since the melodies are similar.
Does the tempo change with the difficulty?
No, the only difference is the Verse 2 Bridge at 02:57 having extra notes added to it.
1:26 "you're. turning. into. A poor man's Donald trump"
Edit: did I hear that right?
Yes that is the official lyrics for it, keep in mind original was made 11 years before all this insanity
Yeah you did, he always had a bit of a reputation going back.
@@chomskyhonk2366 Funny thing is, he was super popular among other celebrities. Then he ran for office and it was like a balloon popped. He didn't even change his opinions. It was hilarious.
@@joshuagross3151 Well, he was right wing. That was enough to upset people.
@@chomskyhonk2366 Actually, back then, he was moderate. Plus, like I said, his opinions actually didn't change. There's videos of when he tried to run as an Independent in 2004, using all the same talking points as 2016.
Technically speaking, the political spectrum is what changed, not him. Or me. I'm considered right wing now, but I haven't changed any view I've had since I registered as an Independent voter out of high school.
Everything's just gone so far left field, even pure moderates are considered hard conservatives now.
When i hear "Trump" i just fell out off window 😂🤣😂
The song changed based on difficulty!?
Wait wait, theres different versions of the songs?
Yehp the streamer mode plays versions of the songs that are made by the inhouse band at tango studios. Helps people stream the game without worry of getting their channels taken down
@@EnderouSama i meant more like the fact that there's versions for which difficulty that your on
@@jameswalton5733 yes. On easy the tempo is slower so the mix needs to be different. And on very hard it’s faster so again the mix is different.
@@SH1NK1R01 yea, just did Rekka's fight on Rhythm Master mode and its super quick and hard, but yet it feels so _right!_
This song is literally me dying and finding out there is a god and then giving him the finger and then him getting surprised and tossing me back to hell and me laughing at him the whole way down.
Y r the songs different that the original versions? Y can’t I enjoy captive while fighting rekka? 😢😢😢
Turn on streamer mode in settings
Ok
Poor streamers. XD
Man it's good but not nearly as awesome with the sounds Chai and Rekka add to it
great song, but annoying that you can't progress the fight until they finish a verse >:(
(also thank you so much for stitching these, this is the best rip of the song out there)
It's Ma'am!
Nah Rekka is actually pretty hot
@@Yoshinator That's disturbing on many levels. Would not want a handy from her...
I actually wouldn't mind learning some of her moves. Especially that command grab. Grappling has great self-defense potential.
@@Yoshinator cook king you dropped this 👑
Not quite as hype as Captive Normals, but it's got this delightful charm about it that juxtaposes well with Rekka's combat. Especially at the bridge.
It works. It's great! It's just not nearly as good as Captive Normals.
Captive Normals is one of the best video game OST's I've ever heard. Big shoes to fill. Anything sounds bad in comparison. This got me hyped when I first played the game. I still hum "YOU think your RADICAL, YOUR NOT- SO- RADICAL!" sometimes.
I don't think enough people will ever give this version enough credit.
Did... Did he just say "Poor man's Donald Trump"???
Yes
Dude he's been a public figure for decades
Donald trump (in this context) is a loud rich person.
This character should have been a male
Something something subverting expectations. She's a character for Twitter to like.
Ummmm....why? She was cool
Shut, we like muscle women in this house.
Any particular reason?
How exactly would this change her character in any way?
Why is this masterpiece cover not on Spotify, god dammit
