Timesplitters and its music are still pure dopamine hits, even all these years later. These games brought me a lot of joy, splitscreen co-op goofing around at its finest.
I always imagined the intro of this song happening with a human robot listening to this intro on a Walkman with headphones on. And then right when the whole beat drops, it becomes the background music while they run out into battle with aliens with lasers blasting around everywhere
@@Graeme_Norgate there's a particular riff in here that really reminds me of one in Smack my bitch up. They're not the same at all but any time I heard one, I'm reminded of the other. This was a fucking awesome soundtrack.
@@Graeme_Norgate going back now as an adult having played this as a kid I feel like you deffinantly took some inspiration from like portishead tricky chemical Brothers underworld left field. Alot of things from timesplitters and the first ratchet and clank sound right out chemical Brothers dig your own hole and then the theramin use reminds me of the album dummy. Let me know I'd love to here your influences, because it's timesplitters as a whole thay got me into electric music as an early teen, I really do want to thankyou for that. Thebtumesplitters osts and underworld first 2 albums have to be the top of atmospheric techno for me.
@@Mibit911 The theremin is my go to instrument for Sci FI, I loved the film The Day the Earth Stood Still and it is used a lot in that. Back then I did love Big Beat, whether that was Chemical Brothers' Exit Planet Dust or Fat Boy Slim. I wasn't a fan of Dig your own Hole and I don't think I've ever heard a Tricky song but who knows, it was the music of the time. I certainly loved Underworld's Dubnobasswithmyheadman, so it is quite possible to have an ingrained inspiration due to the amount of times I had listened to it.
@@Graeme_Norgate that's really awesome to hear man, and get to talk to someone who had a huge part in my childhood. Dubnobasswithmyheadman is in my opinion the greatest comeback album of anybody I can think of, from dark and long to m.e that album is absolute atmospheric masterpiece. Yeah I can't think of too many people at the time who used the theremin like you did except for portishead and they seemed to really be big influence on silent hills music. But portishead uses it to provoke ghost like emotion in the song mysterons where I always think of space because of planet x!
Fun fact, this was also used on the Sky Box EPG as background music in the UK. Check v=CKF6H9YLxmw the song name is "Sky Ripchord" 😹 I knew I heard this before!

Love the sound of baddies warping in the story mode on this map.
I absolutely love that you put this music on youtube. This is my childhood right there and thank you for playing such a great part in it.
"Roger sir! I'm going in!"
My jam. Echoes of The Prodigy with a little Propellerheads.
Is it just me or did the first Timesplitters have the best maps
Love that this sample is used in a bond game

Just love Planet X!
0:15 "you would steal a car"
You wouldn't steal a baby
@@The_SnuggleDuck wait... am i not supposed to do that?
@@VaporMoose no. You also wouldn't shoot a policeman, you wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet you also wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet
@@The_SnuggleDuck OHHHHHH!!!! Thanks man.
@@The_SnuggleDuck You wouldn't give the soiled helmet to his grieving widow, then steal it again!
Banging!
Next year is 2020
lel
There's still time for this to come true.
Can we go back this is a shit show
Its 2021 now and at this point I'm used to it
Wait until that beat drops like a Meteorite impacting the Earth's surface! Has some Chemical Brothers vibes to it like Galvanize 👌🏾

I'd rather fight these Aliens on planet X then covi_ you know the last letter.
@@redned4802 TH-cam isn't going to demonetize you over a comment :D

Graeme, were you influenced by Prodigy and Infected Mushroom for this particular track? It's fucking genius.
I wasn't aware of Infected Mushroom at the time but I was a big Prodigy fan back in the 90s
