Waiting for this to release this year has been basically the hardest thing I could imagine. This was the best time ever in a studio, bringing Darren's absolute genius to life in a new way. His songs will outlive as us all
For Austin himself to speak so highly of Darren and the team... Just more of a confirmation of how great Supergiants music is. Both Austin Wintory and Darren Korb must be my favorite musicians of all time. And to have them collaborate on this album, explains why this sounds so good. I can listen to their music endlessly over and over. Great artists.
I can speak on behalf of all the instrumentalists accompanying Darren & Ashley, when I say that we all had an incredibly fun time at these sessions. It was a career highlight for me, and these arrangements were genuinely enjoyed by all the others. Thank you Supergiant :D
Nate Horsfall, Visualist here: I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of this, and I need to give massive thanks to Darren for hitting me up as these Pax shows were my first Orchestral gig, and then massive thanks to SG themselves for providing 20+ GIGS of art assets to work with when I just asked for "a some high rez versions" and instead got PSDs, PNG sequences, and etc. It's that outpouring of trust that really let these videos shine! I also need to mention I unfortunately had not played any of SG's previous 3 titles games when I got this offer, so I at least sat down for a week and watched play throughs of all of them. It was crystal clear that: these are amazing games, and the fans and studios NEED them to be done justice, so I hope I did that for you all! I said previous 3 games btw. I've clocked 60+ hours of Hades. Couldn't miss their next title! Now I just need to go back and work through the others, even if they've all been spoiled :) Hope for more in the future when shows are allowed again! Stay healthy and safe til then, everyone!
I love the music and had already requested the album for Christmas...but the visuals for this video along with the music make it even better...which I would have thought was impossible. Thank you for bringing another sensory element to this fantastic work of art.
in an age of fps and where killing is seen as a normal mechanic, playing bastion opened my perception of what a videogame is, when we saved zulf, we knew that we would not be making it back, yet we did it knowing that fact, but when we downed our last potion, suddenly we noticed the ura stopped firing, just that simple scene in the gameplay delivered such a powerful message, its one thing to deliver a story in a cutscene but another in the gameplay part
These dudes have made 4 games, ever. Four. And yet each one has left such a fucking ball bustingly large impact that they can get away with naming a medley of theri first game 'Remember the Bastion', because these 4 games have been a journey that 100 games would have difficulty replicating.
Love to see the OGs Bastion, Transistor and (my favourite) Pyre getting some well-deserved attention! I love the epic take on these classics. Everyone involved outdid themselves with these masterpieces.
40:00 Setting Sail/Coming Home starting with the Kid carrying Zulf on screen: Ho this is it then. No punches pulled. You really want me to cry right here, right now. Okay then. Let's go...
@@Taliesin_ That was the most epic moment in gaming for me. The kid gets pelted with arrows, bullets and spears and keeps trudging forward while carrying one of his supposed enemy; His tenacity and determination stops the Uras from attacking, be it out of respect or sheer bewilderment.
Ashley Barrett's and Darren Korb's voices were made for each other. Honestly, the melodies and the harmony they are able to achieve together move me in ways I've never felt before. Every member of team Supergiant deserve all the praise in the world for the work they've put into their 4 perfect titles, but this music truly is the heart and soul of these games for me. It's not just the quality of these songs that make them so special, but also the way they are married to the characters and the world of their respective games that we all love so dearly. Thank you, Supergiant Games, for the 10 magical years you've given us. I'll be rooting for you all throughout the Game Awards this year. :)
Don't know why but I got a bit emotional when the characters of Pyre started flashing on screen during In the Flame. It was just so beautiful Edit: it happened again during Paper Boats but that didn't surprise me, that song is so emotional. Edit 2: Oh boy Remember the Bastion hit hard. Considering it's my favourite game of all that I've played, the rush of memories was pretty powerful. I only missed not hearing In case of trouble in there since that song was so iconic to Bastion. Still, this album blew me away. Darren's music was always fantastic but this brought it to a whole new level. It managed to make me emotional three times each in its own way and encaptured so much of what made the original music so great.
Pyre is the only game I sit down at least once a year and reflect on about whether I made the "right" choice or not. Is there an opposite of survivor's guilt? Martyr's guilt? That's the best I can describe this feeling.
I sang along, and when the characters came on during In The Flame, my voice just cracked and I just broke down in tears and started crying. This really brought back the memories I had, and not only what I saw and what I read, but especially how I felt during the game, and how much I missed every of the characters. It was as if I was back in that time, back when I finished the game and realized it was all over. This game and its soundtrack really cut deep into me, and I will forever keep it in a special place in my heart.
I'm so glad you included bastion at the end I didnt think it was gonna be apart of this. It was the first game I played from you guys and eventually made me buy all your other games. I loved all of them and I love you guys so much and hope that you will continue to make amazing games!
I had been a fan of paper boats for so long, since there was always something new to discover, depending on the volume and clarity of the headphones/ speakers used, but this version, topples everything to a new level...
Im not kidding when i say that Ashley Barret is what i believe what angels sing like, i can only imagine myself leaving this world while "Never to return or Good Riddance" plays in my ascend to the afterlife, the reason Supergiant Games is called like that, it's because they have absolute titans in this type of industry, the stories, the quality, the love to their craft and art, it is SUPERGIANT, puts most of the "Big" boys of the industry to shame
Of all the Supergiant games I think I'm most in love with Transistor. Excellent game mechanics but an even greater story. A singer bereft of her voice, in the wake of a strange apocalypse, fighting to preserve what remains of her city and ultimately triumphant, regaining her voice and rejoining her lover, after a fashion. I don't think Transistor could have worked half as well if it weren't a game. The immersion, the music and journey, all were so very beautiful.
I was like, did they forget the Bastion...? and right after Remember the Bastion started playing. One of my most memorable experiences with any videogame ever. Never felt this passionate about any game ever after. Masterpiece.
Listening to this all the way through today brings me SO much joy! What an experience - so happy with how this turned out! SO grateful to everyone at Supergiant, Darren & Austin.
Thank you so much for the work you've done over the years to make Supergiant's music so unforgettable, Ms. Barrett. I sincerely appreciate it. Here's to many happy returns!
Austin Wintory and Darren Korb collaborating on what can arguably be called some of the best video game music ever made is one of my favorite things i've ever stumbled on at 3 in the morning.
My old favourite tracks with a touch of what Darren Korb is capable of today. As we grew with these games, the studio grew with us. This is just wonderful, no more words needed
My heart ached for those last few measures, when the Bastion logo came on screen. Your games and Darren’s music have meant so much to me. Thank you for ten years of hard work. Here’s to ten more!!
These are amazing- as someone who doesn’t often listen to music or seek out new things to listen too, I’ve always adored Supergiant Games music. It is *perfection*.
Darren is the Hans Zimmer of videogames. These were all great games to begin with but it was always the soundtrack that brought them together. As someone who dabbles into music I can say these songs are a magnificent achievement. I agree with Austin, some of these will continue to live on indefinitely. Amazing work.
Supergiant games are the only ones I re-imagine as Broadway stage shows; amazing storytelling, fantastic visuals, believable characters, wrapped up with sublime music and vocals.
These orchestrations really recontextualize some of the songs. Especially The Spine, I think. Makes it feel a little smoother for me, more sweeping than haunting.
Very much so. A lot of them gain a far more fantastical and grand aspect to them at the expense of the more subtle and isolated feeling of the originals. Personally I find In Circles to be affected by this the most, for what originally to me felt like a personal struggle now brings up emotions of an outside conflict. I'm not sure how I like it on some songs for now, but we'll see how the sound grows on me.
My brother introduced Bastion to me when I was 7, since then I’ve tried to play it at least once a year. I cannot thank you enough supergiant games. For giving me one of the best memories of my childhood, for teaching me to make do with what I have, to be thankful for what I’ve earned, that tough times are never something to give up at. Thank you. Thanks Jake, I never forgot. Love you bro.
I find extra things to run around looking at in the main hall of the House whenever Orpheus is singing, just to take in Darren Korb’s incredible falsetto. Coming out of the Pool of Styx to the sound of his singing is one of the nicest treats in game for me. Blown away by how much he’s contributed to each of these games, and happy to get to experience so many aspects of his talent!
I played Transistor after getting it for free on Epic Games Store... and I loved it. It made me buy Bastion right away after finishing it. I added it to my backlog and it stood there for a while. After all the hype Hades got last year, I decided to buy it as well, and so I played Bastion and Hades next. I just couldn't get enough of Supergiant games. I got Pyre and just recently beat it. Those games are beautiful works of art - it's the music, the writing, the atmosphere, character design, art direction, damn. I can't even decide on a favorite, they're so equally awesome. I even replayed Transistor this year so I could experience all four games in 2021. You guys are amazing and hearing those songs bring so many memories already. You represent a lot of what's so good about video games and I'm so glad I could experience them. Great work!!
This album is celestial! I've bought the Le vinyl for Hades soundtrack, after hearing it dozens of times, and im amazed every single time how Darren's voice is angelic both in flacetto and normal, thanks for being blessed by this album!
38:10 A wild kazoo appears! (I suspect it was more of an energetically-played trumpet but its sudden bravado in this very strong, very emotional medley made me unexpectedly burst out of laughter)
It was lead Trombone Andy Wood using a plunger and some flutter-tongue sass! He improvised that bit too, you can see him do it in the music video. Phenomenal player!
@@BrianLaGuardia Woah, a trombone and a plunger indeed, haha! I had mistakenly assumed that all the individual videos were only segments of this one... The footage in the one about Bastion really provides additional depth to the whole performance. Kudos to you all! (Also, Supergiant's Twitter account led me to your notes on the arranging process and I am definitely reading them one of these days *-*)
@@BrianLaGuardia Well, thank you for your notes: here I am again, feeling like I can dive into these layers of music even more, from She Shines' noir tone to In Circles' strings illustrating the lyrics * - *
@@goyavoyage I have been listening pretty obsessively as well, in spite of how much I studied and worked on it. A testament to the immortality of Darren's writing!
absolutely in love with all the orchestral transistor songs. we all become, in circles, and paper boats are all such great songs but the orchestral versions are just 100/10. what an awesome christmas gift. love you supergiant!!! ❤
One of my favorite things about what Super Giant Games does is that they give proper respect to music while making their games. The details, the slight variations to match the situation your playing in. Thank you.
transistor soundtrack especially to this day still gets me so feeling all the emotions. darren korb and the team always hits it out of the park. love from Australia
How far we've come, from one boy waking up to a fractured world... The games that you all make are some of my favorites of all time, genuine masterpieces, that you take the time you need to make them the best possible version. Your games, your music, and your flawless track record inspire me to create, and to strive towards anything even resembling what you all have managed. I want to give you a truly heartfelt thanks for that. Please keep making great games as long as you can, and keep inspiring more people with your art.
It is a testament to the strength of writing and cohesive design that Paper Boats still hits hard for me even after so many years, and the story stays fresh in my mind without having played it in quite some time.
Playing Hades everyday and listening to this while working is a real treat for the end of the this insane year. Thank you so much for the feels, the fun and the memories. From a fan since Bastion.
Remember the Bastion makes me cry so hard every time, the music, the story, the gameplay, the art its too much. Supergiant games is a gift to the world in every respect
Every single person who has worked on one of these tracks is awesome! Thank you, everyone! Darren, Ashley, Austin, you, guys, are amazingly talented people and I love you!
Every single Supergiant game, and every single soundtrack, has changed what I thought games could be, look like and sound like. This tribute to their amazing music is perfect. Thank you for sharing these masterpieces with all of us.
As a young adult, Bastion saved me from myself. As a father, the soundtrack has lulled both my kids to sleep almost nightly since they were born. "Remember the Bastion" is by far the biggest love letter to fans of Darren that any of us could have dreamed of. Darren, if you are reading this, please know that your music has guided me through some personal turmoil i am not sure i was strong enough to deal with on my own. For that, i owe you my eternal gratitude.
A wonderful job by the dream team Austin Wintory, Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett along with the entire orchestra. I'll never tire listening to the Transistor Soundtrack, and the standouts on this are "The Spine" and "She Shines". They truly fit the orchestral performances so well that both these performances of "The Spine" and "She Shines" could be in a future Transistor film (were Supergiant Games so inclined to partake in that effort). :) Congratulations to all those who worked on this project for making 2020 a bit brighter
damn, I didn't expect this album to blow the wind out of me 40:00 gave me chills. I played The Bastion when I was 7 and that scene has stuck with me for the last 11 years, the narrator's lines combined with the music and being unable to do anything because you're carrying the man that betrayed you. The Bastion is up there on my list for greatest games of all time. thank you Supergiant games.
Damn, that's a decade's worth of feelings inspired by Supergiant right there. What an amazing crop of games. One of the top indie dev studios in the world, and the massive success of Hades will surely only make them grow more. So happy for them!
Both Ashley Barrett's voice and Darren Korb's musical expertise and genius always leave me awestruck, bringing the chance for them to work with an orchestra is just the logical conclusion to create a masterpiece.
I don't think I've been as consistantly moved by art as I have been with this catalogue. Supergiant has made more of an impact with a handful of heartfelt games than some decades-long franchises are able to accomplish with dozens.
She was already the most emotional fight, but Austin straight up propelled Sybil into final boss territory with this arrangement of "In Circles", lordy.
There's just something so special about Supergiant studio. Their music, visuals, their stories and their characters. Even though their games seem similar, they are so distinctive and unique, yet connected. Each of every piece of their work was given immaculate amount of attention, time, work and so much love. If I think of a studio that truly adore what they do and make, its them that come to my mind Sorry for rambling, thank you supergiant for creating those beautiful memories I will always hold dear
I came here to say how Good Riddence is an amazing duet one of very few songs that can make a grow man tear up. Yet that song isn't even here, but I stayed because I just couldn't.... Unable to turn it off it's such a beautiful album. I'm beyond words now.
Been following Super Giant since Bastion on the 360 as a kid and now seeing all of the well earned success Hades earned is like seeing a friend rise to newer heights. So glad to have been to help support them through this journey. Can't wait to see what comes next.
I mean it with the out most respect - this takes me back to being a child and watching Disney movies. its grandiose, it's epic and it runs straight to your soul. P.S. Just cleared Hades for the 1st time. You people rock, thank you.
OOoOOoo! I love these renditions of the most impactful songs from Supergiant Games. I really enjoyed Hades and Transistor personally they are my favorites, but hearing Bastion's and Pyre's songs really is something else! Awesome job making this Orchestral Collection everyone
As someone who played your games all the way back when Bastion was released, this has been quite the nostalgic trip. Excellent work, I can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys!
Christmas has come early. GOD all of these songs just fit so well within the game, and they hold their outside as well. The orchestral arrangement is just gravy at this point. Fantastic Job. Here's to 10 more years!
I was lucky enough to listen to many of these songs live at PAX East. I'm so glad I can now relive that, and that I won't ever forget just how beautiful an experience it was.
I have a chunk of 'Terminal March' from Bastion that has been my alarm sound through 3 different phones and about 6 years. It makes waking up bearable some days. Thank you so much for the wonderful music.
I started listening this at work and I just paused it and thought: It's such a disrespect to this masterpiece and the geniuses behind it to not appreciate it to the fullest. 4 hours later and I'm at home just listening to this, feeling the goosebumps as I see the art in the vid and in my ears... This whole album is a journey, an emotional journey, especially ''Remember the Bastion'', it's incredible how this majestic arrangement made me relieve all I felt while playing the four games, each with such and amazing and heart-touching story, in addition to the soundtracks I often listen to from time to time... This..., this is unique what you guys have here... I'm such at a loss of words to describe this, God... Keep going guys, you truly are the best
This has been on almost non-stop since it was released. What an unbelievable journey it has been ever since I first tried the Bastion demo way back on the Xbox 360. Korb is a genius, and I'm so excited for the next 10 years of Supergiant Games! Much love
At the moment i am replaying bastion on a whim and "remember the bastion" just knocked me on my ass so many memories and emotions that super giant has provided me with over the years all came flooding back at once i own and have played every game and they are all masterpieces, thank you super giant and thank you to Darren Korb and the rest of the musical team for an amazing 10 years and an amazing set of games
Few things have stirred such an emotion within me like Darren Korb's music has. It truly is something wonderful and I'm really happy I've gotten around to hear this, and to have experienced all your games thus far, it's been a lovely journey and I can barely wait in excitement for what's to come; Thank you so much, both to you Darren, and the entire Supergiant team, you've accomplished really special things, and i'll support you all the way !
The collaboration between Darren Korb and Austin Wintory is god-like. Korb makes such catchy and effective music, while Wintory works his magic to create something truly transcendent. I stumbled across this video a few days ago and have given it a listen every day since.
To say Supergiant Games are one of my favorite game studios would be an understatement. Everything they put out absolutely blows me away in every aspect. I’ve been playing Bastion since it released... can’t even believe it’s been almost 10 whole years since I first played that amazing game when I was only like, eight years old. And this whole audio experience was... god it was magical. Then that ending segment of “Remember The Bastion” just gripped me and brought back so many memories. Now here I am. Obsessed with Hades and enjoying every mastercrafted detail of the experience.
God, I only discovered this game company earlier this year, but man have y'all skyrocketed to the top of my fave list. I started with Transistor and fell in love with the design, the music, the art and the game play and have continued to play the others, besides Pyre, but that's on my list to complete. Each game struck me in such a unique way, telling interesting stories in a way I'm not used to experiencing, making me feel, start to care about and love the characters in each The gameplay is all of them also had the effect of making me drop everything and focus on the game, making me complete Transistor in like 2 days and managing to get 60 hours into Hades in 20 weeks lol Keep doing what you're doing Supergiant as I know with each endeavor you go through, i know I'll support each of your projects when I can as I know you will always supply quality
I really think, without a doubt, that these songs crafted by Darren and Ashley are some of the best musical pieces ever made. Great job to everyone who was involved with this production.
oh my god... thank you for creating this masterpiece. I've played bastion and got a strong emotional blast out of it, the music, the narrative, the story, the visuals, all was wonderful, I love that game, played it over and over many times... but then came transistor and omg, tears were flowing like a river at the end of the game, visual were stunning, I still have fond memories of this game... but the music, is something out of this world, I remember that I used to stand around in game and made Red hum to the background music, I loved all of it, I dare say that was my high, I just couldn't stop listening to it, a year or more has passed since I played transistor, and I was still listening to Ashley's performance of 5 songs (we all, circles, spine, signals and paper boats) day in and day out... I always wished I could hear more, I wished for a full lyrical album made like those 5 songs... but my wishes are just that, wishes... but you made one of it come true. Today, I heard more... all my fav songs... Ashley and orchestra, what an amazing combo... sincerely, thank you.
Waiting for this to release this year has been basically the hardest thing I could imagine. This was the best time ever in a studio, bringing Darren's absolute genius to life in a new way. His songs will outlive as us all
Thanks so much, Austin!! Your work inspired many of us long before we had an opportunity to collaborate on this one.
@@supergiantgames It's an honor solely belonging to me, I promise
Your influence on this album is so clear, It makes me so happy seeing some of my favourite musicians collaborating on such a great project!
Beautiful work from all of you! Well said!
For Austin himself to speak so highly of Darren and the team... Just more of a confirmation of how great Supergiants music is. Both Austin Wintory and Darren Korb must be my favorite musicians of all time. And to have them collaborate on this album, explains why this sounds so good. I can listen to their music endlessly over and over. Great artists.
It's kind of ridiculous how much of a musical masterpiece every single one of the games in the Supergiant catalogue is.
Which is just one of many reasons why I love them all so much
@Meddlecat Darren also does the voice of Zagreus and Skelly in Hades.
Darren Korb is 👌👌👌
Supergiant is truly magnificent. A gem of a team.
@@RaiohTheHunter He voices Zagreus?????

@@fang_xianfu Incredible job on the visuals!
I'm not emotionally over how Bastion's medley is called "Remember the Bastion". Because, I do remember it, and that hit me like a truck
Yes by god I remember, and it was glorious
I played it this year, and it still hit me like Truck-san xD and I was sent to an Isekai

Okay then. Let's go...
They went for the throat. Fuck. Still one of my top 5 moments in any game ever, that sequence.
Makes you wonder what those who left Zulf behind feel about that.
@@Taliesin_ That was the most epic moment in gaming for me.

Korn, tunes for the tune god!

Of course! We could never leave Bastion behind. Thank you for giving it a chance and playing our games!
"In the Flame" and "Paper Boats" have been given insane new instrumentalisations. And the Bastion segment has been breathed new life into it.
I had been a fan of paper boats for so long, since there was always something new to discover, depending on the volume and clarity of the headphones/ speakers used, but this version, topples everything to a new level...
I haven't cried for many years, the instrumental on Mother I'm here brought me to tear up, I thank you all...
never to return allways makes me tear up
I literally did as well. I wasn't even expecting myself to. The evokes such emotion. This music is a masterpiece.
Ending the album with an instrumental-only version of "Mother, I'm Here" and then moving into "Setting Sail, Coming Home"... Perfection
Im not kidding when i say that Ashley Barret is what i believe what angels sing like, i can only imagine myself leaving this world while "Never to return or Good Riddance" plays in my ascend to the afterlife, the reason Supergiant Games is called like that, it's because they have absolute titans in this type of industry, the stories, the quality, the love to their craft and art, it is SUPERGIANT, puts most of the "Big" boys of the industry to shame

Thank you for this early Christmas gift, Supergiant
Austin Wintory and Darren Korb collaborating on what can arguably be called some of the best video game music ever made is one of my favorite things i've ever stumbled on at 3 in the morning.
Never stop Super Giant.
My old favourite tracks with a touch of what Darren Korb is capable of today. As we grew with these games, the studio grew with us. This is just wonderful, no more words needed
We have just been blessed, I've been waiting for this for such a long time... I'm such a sucker for orchestral music, this is a dream come true
My god, that version of The Spine is absolutely sublime.
My heart ached for those last few measures, when the Bastion logo came on screen. Your games and Darren’s music have meant so much to me. Thank you for ten years of hard work. Here’s to ten more!!
So many chills. The visuals of Sybill (both forms) during In Circles are so haunting.
These are amazing- as someone who doesn’t often listen to music or seek out new things to listen too, I’ve always adored Supergiant Games music. It is *perfection*.
Bastion OST will always have a soft spot in my heart. It's so timeless.
Darren is the Hans Zimmer of videogames.
These were all great games to begin with but it was always the soundtrack that brought them together. As someone who dabbles into music I can say these songs are a magnificent achievement. I agree with Austin, some of these will continue to live on indefinitely. Amazing work.
The Bastion medley is clearly the centerpiece here, but the Pyre songs have translated beautifully as well. Goddamn.
I REALLY love this
Supergiant games are the only ones I re-imagine as Broadway stage shows; amazing storytelling, fantastic visuals, believable characters, wrapped up with sublime music and vocals.
These orchestrations really recontextualize some of the songs. Especially The Spine, I think. Makes it feel a little smoother for me, more sweeping than haunting.
Very much so. A lot of them gain a far more fantastical and grand aspect to them at the expense of the more subtle and isolated feeling of the originals. Personally I find In Circles to be affected by this the most, for what originally to me felt like a personal struggle now brings up emotions of an outside conflict. I'm not sure how I like it on some songs for now, but we'll see how the sound grows on me.
My brother introduced Bastion to me when I was 7, since then I’ve tried to play it at least once a year. I cannot thank you enough supergiant games. For giving me one of the best memories of my childhood, for teaching me to make do with what I have, to be thankful for what I’ve earned, that tough times are never something to give up at. Thank you. Thanks Jake, I never forgot. Love you bro.
I'm here in Italy, late at night under a blanket watching the first snow of the year, tear down my eye moved by the experience.
Thank you.
I CANT forget the bastion :(
I find extra things to run around looking at in the main hall of the House whenever Orpheus is singing, just to take in Darren Korb’s incredible falsetto. Coming out of the Pool of Styx to the sound of his singing is one of the nicest treats in game for me. Blown away by how much he’s contributed to each of these games, and happy to get to experience so many aspects of his talent!
I played Transistor after getting it for free on Epic Games Store... and I loved it. It made me buy Bastion right away after finishing it. I added it to my backlog and it stood there for a while. After all the hype Hades got last year, I decided to buy it as well, and so I played Bastion and Hades next. I just couldn't get enough of Supergiant games. I got Pyre and just recently beat it. Those games are beautiful works of art - it's the music, the writing, the atmosphere, character design, art direction, damn. I can't even decide on a favorite, they're so equally awesome. I even replayed Transistor this year so I could experience all four games in 2021. You guys are amazing and hearing those songs bring so many memories already. You represent a lot of what's so good about video games and I'm so glad I could experience them. Great work!!
This album is celestial! I've bought the Le vinyl for Hades soundtrack, after hearing it dozens of times, and im amazed every single time how Darren's voice is angelic both in flacetto and normal, thanks for being blessed by this album!
38:10 A wild kazoo appears!
(I suspect it was more of an energetically-played trumpet but its sudden bravado in this very strong, very emotional medley made me unexpectedly burst out of laughter)
It was lead Trombone Andy Wood using a plunger and some flutter-tongue sass! He improvised that bit too, you can see him do it in the music video. Phenomenal player!
@@BrianLaGuardia Woah, a trombone and a plunger indeed, haha! I had mistakenly assumed that all the individual videos were only segments of this one... The footage in the one about Bastion really provides additional depth to the whole performance. Kudos to you all!
(Also, Supergiant's Twitter account led me to your notes on the arranging process and I am definitely reading them one of these days *-*)
@@BrianLaGuardia Well, thank you for your notes: here I am again, feeling like I can dive into these layers of music even more, from She Shines' noir tone to In Circles' strings illustrating the lyrics * - *
@@goyavoyage I have been listening pretty obsessively as well, in spite of how much I studied and worked on it. A testament to the immortality of Darren's writing!
THIS HAS SERIOUSLY MADE MY DAY AND I'M ABOUT TO CRY.
I can't wait to get my vinyl and this album is going to be on repeat for the next few weeks.
absolutely in love with all the orchestral transistor songs. we all become, in circles, and paper boats are all such great songs but the orchestral versions are just 100/10. what an awesome christmas gift. love you supergiant!!! ❤
One of my favorite things about what Super Giant Games does is that they give proper respect to music while making their games.
The details, the slight variations to match the situation your playing in. Thank you.
transistor soundtrack especially to this day still gets me so feeling all the emotions. darren korb and the team always hits it out of the park. love from Australia
How far we've come, from one boy waking up to a fractured world...
The games that you all make are some of my favorites of all time, genuine masterpieces, that you take the time you need to make them the best possible version. Your games, your music, and your flawless track record inspire me to create, and to strive towards anything even resembling what you all have managed. I want to give you a truly heartfelt thanks for that. Please keep making great games as long as you can, and keep inspiring more people with your art.
It is a testament to the strength of writing and cohesive design that Paper Boats still hits hard for me even after so many years, and the story stays fresh in my mind without having played it in quite some time.
Playing Hades everyday and listening to this while working is a real treat for the end of the this insane year. Thank you so much for the feels, the fun and the memories. From a fan since Bastion.
Remember the Bastion makes me cry so hard every time, the music, the story, the gameplay, the art its too much. Supergiant games is a gift to the world in every respect
I CAN HEAR DARREN’S HARMONIES SO CLEARLY ❤️❤️❤️
Darren's harmonies are flawless.
Build That Wall will always send shivers down my spine.
Every single person who has worked on one of these tracks is awesome!
Thank you, everyone!
Darren, Ashley, Austin, you, guys, are amazingly talented people and I love you!
Every single Supergiant game, and every single soundtrack, has changed what I thought games could be, look like and sound like. This tribute to their amazing music is perfect. Thank you for sharing these masterpieces with all of us.
As a young adult, Bastion saved me from myself. As a father, the soundtrack has lulled both my kids to sleep almost nightly since they were born.
"Remember the Bastion" is by far the biggest love letter to fans of Darren that any of us could have dreamed of.
Darren, if you are reading this, please know that your music has guided me through some personal turmoil i am not sure i was strong enough to deal with on my own. For that, i owe you my eternal gratitude.
A wonderful job by the dream team Austin Wintory, Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett along with the entire orchestra. I'll never tire listening to the Transistor Soundtrack, and the standouts on this are "The Spine" and "She Shines". They truly fit the orchestral performances so well that both these performances of "The Spine" and "She Shines" could be in a future Transistor film (were Supergiant Games so inclined to partake in that effort). :) Congratulations to all those who worked on this project for making 2020 a bit brighter
Transistor is still my favorite piece of media, and the songs present here are just wonderful.
It’s like listening to a “On the Coast” version of all the songs. It’s awesome
damn, I didn't expect this album to blow the wind out of me
40:00 gave me chills. I played The Bastion when I was 7 and that scene has stuck with me for the last 11 years, the narrator's lines combined with the music and being unable to do anything because you're carrying the man that betrayed you.
The Bastion is up there on my list for greatest games of all time.
thank you Supergiant games.
Damn, that's a decade's worth of feelings inspired by Supergiant right there. What an amazing crop of games. One of the top indie dev studios in the world, and the massive success of Hades will surely only make them grow more. So happy for them!
30:11 that image hit me like a ton of bricks
art is alive. you keep it alive. you make beautiful things and no words can describe how thankful we are
Both Ashley Barrett's voice and Darren Korb's musical expertise and genius always leave me awestruck, bringing the chance for them to work with an orchestra is just the logical conclusion to create a masterpiece.
I don't think I've been as consistantly moved by art as I have been with this catalogue. Supergiant has made more of an impact with a handful of heartfelt games than some decades-long franchises are able to accomplish with dozens.
She was already the most emotional fight, but Austin straight up propelled Sybil into final boss territory with this arrangement of "In Circles", lordy.
There's just something so special about Supergiant studio.
Their music, visuals, their stories and their characters. Even though their games seem similar, they are so distinctive and unique, yet connected.
Each of every piece of their work was given immaculate amount of attention, time, work and so much love. If I think of a studio that truly adore what they do and make, its them that come to my mind
Sorry for rambling, thank you supergiant for creating those beautiful memories I will always hold dear
I came here to say how Good Riddence is an amazing duet one of very few songs that can make a grow man tear up. Yet that song isn't even here, but I stayed because I just couldn't.... Unable to turn it off it's such a beautiful album. I'm beyond words now.
Been following Super Giant since Bastion on the 360 as a kid and now seeing all of the well earned success Hades earned is like seeing a friend rise to newer heights. So glad to have been to help support them through this journey. Can't wait to see what comes next.
I mean it with the out most respect - this takes me back to being a child and watching Disney movies. its grandiose, it's epic and it runs straight to your soul.
P.S.
Just cleared Hades for the 1st time.
You people rock, thank you.
Your music is magical, Supergiant Games. Never stop being you.
Thank you, Supergiant Games!
❤️ More years to come everyone ❤️
OOoOOoo! I love these renditions of the most impactful songs from Supergiant Games. I really enjoyed Hades and Transistor personally they are my favorites, but hearing Bastion's and Pyre's songs really is something else! Awesome job making this Orchestral Collection everyone
As someone who played your games all the way back when Bastion was released, this has been quite the nostalgic trip. Excellent work, I can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys!

Every last thing that comes from Supergiant is a masterpiece, Hands down.
Christmas has come early. GOD all of these songs just fit so well within the game, and they hold their outside as well. The orchestral arrangement is just gravy at this point.
Fantastic Job. Here's to 10 more years!
Amazing work. Ashley, Darren, and Austin can't stop hitting it out of the park!
I was lucky enough to listen to many of these songs live at PAX East. I'm so glad I can now relive that, and that I won't ever forget just how beautiful an experience it was.
I'm shedding tears of joy, what a miraculous gift!
Same here
I have a chunk of 'Terminal March' from Bastion that has been my alarm sound through 3 different phones and about 6 years. It makes waking up bearable some days. Thank you so much for the wonderful music.
I started listening this at work and I just paused it and thought: It's such a disrespect to this masterpiece and the geniuses behind it to not appreciate it to the fullest.
4 hours later and I'm at home just listening to this, feeling the goosebumps as I see the art in the vid and in my ears...
This whole album is a journey, an emotional journey, especially ''Remember the Bastion'', it's incredible how this majestic arrangement made me relieve all I felt while playing the four games, each with such and amazing and heart-touching story, in addition to the soundtracks I often listen to from time to time...
This..., this is unique what you guys have here... I'm such at a loss of words to describe this, God...
Keep going guys, you truly are the best
This has been on almost non-stop since it was released. What an unbelievable journey it has been ever since I first tried the Bastion demo way back on the Xbox 360. Korb is a genius, and I'm so excited for the next 10 years of Supergiant Games! Much love
This playlist: the best way to keep warm as December begins.
I'm not crying at all 😭 so beautiful. Thanks for posting this so everyone can hear it!
At the moment i am replaying bastion on a whim and "remember the bastion" just knocked me on my ass so many memories and emotions that super giant has provided me with over the years all came flooding back at once i own and have played every game and they are all masterpieces, thank you super giant and thank you to Darren Korb and the rest of the musical team for an amazing 10 years and an amazing set of games
Few things have stirred such an emotion within me like Darren Korb's music has. It truly is something wonderful and I'm really happy I've gotten around to hear this, and to have experienced all your games thus far, it's been a lovely journey and I can barely wait in excitement for what's to come;
Thank you so much, both to you Darren, and the entire Supergiant team, you've accomplished really special things, and i'll support you all the way !
I am so moved by all of this music, but most especially We All Become. Supergiant Games, you are a gift to all of us.
The collaboration between Darren Korb and Austin Wintory is god-like. Korb makes such catchy and effective music, while Wintory works his magic to create something truly transcendent. I stumbled across this video a few days ago and have given it a listen every day since.
To say Supergiant Games are one of my favorite game studios would be an understatement. Everything they put out absolutely blows me away in every aspect. I’ve been playing Bastion since it released... can’t even believe it’s been almost 10 whole years since I first played that amazing game when I was only like, eight years old.
And this whole audio experience was... god it was magical. Then that ending segment of “Remember The Bastion” just gripped me and brought back so many memories.
Now here I am. Obsessed with Hades and enjoying every mastercrafted detail of the experience.
This is just further proof that Darren Korb is indeed a wizard.
Lost track of the hundreds of times I’ve listened to this while working. A true timeless masterpiece. I can’t wait for new projects to enjoy!
Darren Korb and Ashley are just MASTAPIECE
damn, this is the absolute peak of supergiant music
God, I only discovered this game company earlier this year, but man have y'all skyrocketed to the top of my fave list. I started with Transistor and fell in love with the design, the music, the art and the game play and have continued to play the others, besides Pyre, but that's on my list to complete.
Each game struck me in such a unique way, telling interesting stories in a way I'm not used to experiencing, making me feel, start to care about and love the characters in each
The gameplay is all of them also had the effect of making me drop everything and focus on the game, making me complete Transistor in like 2 days and managing to get 60 hours into Hades in 20 weeks lol
Keep doing what you're doing Supergiant as I know with each endeavor you go through, i know I'll support each of your projects when I can as I know you will always supply quality
I really think, without a doubt, that these songs crafted by Darren and Ashley are some of the best musical pieces ever made. Great job to everyone who was involved with this production.
oh my god... thank you for creating this masterpiece.
I've played bastion and got a strong emotional blast out of it, the music, the narrative, the story, the visuals, all was wonderful, I love that game, played it over and over many times... but then came transistor and omg, tears were flowing like a river at the end of the game, visual were stunning, I still have fond memories of this game... but the music, is something out of this world, I remember that I used to stand around in game and made Red hum to the background music, I loved all of it, I dare say that was my high, I just couldn't stop listening to it, a year or more has passed since I played transistor, and I was still listening to Ashley's performance of 5 songs (we all, circles, spine, signals and paper boats) day in and day out... I always wished I could hear more, I wished for a full lyrical album made like those 5 songs... but my wishes are just that, wishes... but you made one of it come true. Today, I heard more... all my fav songs... Ashley and orchestra, what an amazing combo...
sincerely, thank you.
Never to Return gave me actual chills, you guys did phenomenal on the whole album!
