The name is actually most likely a reference to one of the Moomin stories, where an apocalyptic comet has caused the shoreline to recede. When the comet is gone, the sea comes back and the characters say: ”The sea has returned!” Both the devs and Moomins are Finnish, so that’s the most likely reference imo
This soundtrack is so gloriously sad yet explosive at the same time. All these tears in my eyes. I'll probably lose at least one 1cc attempt just from choking up to the emotion. ;_;
Good and underrated theme :D! My favorite part is when is speeds up at 1:12 - 1:37 and 2:28 - 2:55, and also at 0:10 - 0:22 because it reminds me of GFW stage 1 theme, lol NEEDS MORE VIEWS
Wow, this song is incredible. It reminds me of that one level in Combat Initiation, a movement shooter Roblox game inspired by ULTRAKILL, where you had to fight Youngkappakhan. The music in that level is very reminiscent of this soundtrack and that makes it even better. I love when great Roblox games reference underrated and obscure games. It is a very nice way for people who like the game to try new experiences and develop cultural knowledge. A round of applause for Combat Initiation for bringing people like me to the awesome game known as ZeroRanger.
Lemme clarify something this is NOT FROM combat initiation it’s just the theme for the third level in combat initiation was inspired by this thus why they sound similar this song is also combined with the theme for the third level in combat initation to make a song called the tix has returned which is also inspired by this song and the tix has returned is played exclusively in the first stage of combat initations super hard campaign test exe
Once a month (approximately) I come back to play ZeroRanger. I'm not very good and I usually die on this stage, however... I always cry when this song and Sorairo Days plays
Stage 1' 's theme is more or less identical to Stage 1's theme except for the sadder segment near the end replacing the more upbeat one Stage 2' 's theme is basically just stage 2's theme with a different soundfont. Stage 3' 's theme is pretty much an entirely new song, making it a huge and welcome surprise if you play the game blind.
never knew it was used before delicate glass in ice was added, so clear that potoe got inspired heavily by the sea has returned for delicate glass in ice
@@jmachero5852 MIDI is basically digital sheet music, it's just notes with an ID attached to them to tell the OS or your soundcard what instrument it is. It will sound different from one system to another, and because the composer has no way of knowing how it will sound (MIDI sound banks are not standardized at all) with no mixing or mastering to speak of, so it generally won't sound good unless you happen to be on the exact same sound card it was written for. It was used to save space when games had to fit on floppy discs, but has no relevance anymore. A synth produces an actual audio file that will sound the same on any hardware that can play it, and goes through the same audio production pipeline as any other recorded music, the recording is simply of a digital instrument rather than a physical one.
^ Can confirm this is it. I know a channel went over some gold sound card back when it had a larger significance, and showed the difference between a standard-ish card and a more powerful one.
@@Oneiroclast I think EthanDoesaThing meant that midi was likely used to control the synths within a DAW during production, giving it that kind of choppy sound that people associate with midi controls, even if the actual audio files aren't in midi form. Like even though people don't use pure midi files anymore many composers still use midi data before rendering during production to make things easier.
Came here from SiIvaGunner’s rip, and I have to agree this sounds like it was inspired by Mega Man Zero‘s music (and yes, Esperanto is the most obvious example). ;-)
because i thought it from Combat Initiation - Delicate Glass in......the Sea???? and the guy Who make the Combat Initiation - Delicate Glass in......the Sea???? said that the devs used this so yeah i didn't know they used this song because i'm really like this song because the devs used this sample for Combat Initiation | Delicate Glass in Ice [Glass Houses]
@@newbiepro2k1 it’s a shoot ‘em up. it’s really fun, and you should try it! it’s a bit like touhou i guess you can say, but there aren’t bomb mechanics, and the method to get abilities is different from touhou.
i think i heard this song in roblox before i joined this game i think its called combat initiation for the first time it was quite hard i heard this song on the first map
As a Combat Initiation fan: I am universally greatful to be introduced to Zero Ranger because of it. Like it legit looks like a great game. Will try. Anyways, for any Zero Ranger fans confused lemme explain: So basically combat initiation is a roblox ultrakill inspired game (its great, try it) and in one of the stages (its known as Glass Houses)the main theme of the level: "Delicate Ice In Glass" is heavily inspired by this specific piece in the Zero Ranger OST its also aswell inspired by Touhou.
Faital WhipCake dude Touhou is just another bullet hell like zero ranger, that also has an amazing soundtrack. Them comparing it is a complement to them.
2018: this is such a nostalgic music 2024: this is such a combat initiation test.exe Edit: i just realized im the only comment that got hearted lol and after i made this edit its gone :/ stupid me
To all ZeroRanger fans complaining about players coming from Roblox Combat Initiation... Shut the hell up and accept that it will be used by other games. You do not own the music. Period.
Honestly this song is fire I only found it because of combat initiation but once I found out it got changed I kinda got annoyed now I am not because I can see why this person got it removed (or they just changed it for no reason oops)
Honestly? I don't really like how it would be reading the comments that are related to combat initiation, then arguing with them that combat initiation stole the music, its not a big of a deal, some of games that were good borrows musics from the other games ost or smth. Combat initiation used this ost temporarily because the music they composed isn't finished yet. It is okay to shitpost the game that uses the same ost here, but why even calling a pc game "Ipad kids game" anyway? Is it because you dont know how to dodge the projectiles and losing at stage 1? No offense! I just hate it. "I didn't ask", "ipad kid" and "🤓" is the worst comeback to ever bring in an arguement, as it is such an immature and newgen-ish roast that could make the situatuon worst aswell.
@@youngkappakhan It appears that i am talking about you and a bit of the music aswell, explaining why does CI temporarily use this music, nice try. But try reading it again.

@@tx7300 so basically theres a game on roblox called combat initiation theres a joke world called "test.exe" and this song is used for the first stage: "Noob and jason inc". the map has like 20 jasons (which are bosses) in the stage so thats why it explains it The reason this song is in there is because one of the other stages songs were inspired by this
I really hope they add more changes to this level with the last game mode. The boss is phenomenal but aside from that the level itself is completely untouched. EDIT: I made this comment before I found out about the crab. The crab is fantastic, but I do still wish they had changed more.

Zeroranger is probably the FINEST example of midis still being a viable choice for music.
It's synth, not MIDI. The problem with MIDI and the reason it's not viable is that it sounds different on different sound cards.
