- The soundtrack of the Homeworld Series has always been a vital component of the franchise. In Homeworld:Remastered the audio from both games has been cleaned up and, as you will hear, it greatly benefited from this. What you are listening to now is the remixed Keeper Theme from Homeworld2:Remastered, Missions 08 and 10. This in-game version just has that extra touch the CD/OST version misses.
Before anyone asks: This is the sole HWRM OST piece that I will upload. The Homeworld series is legendary, and doing things such as buying the game/soundtrack/artbooks etc. not only makes for a (very) nice addition to your library, but also increases the likelihood of Gearbox doing 'more' with the Homeworld franchise. That, and it is just a good way to show your appreciation for the astonishing work Paul Ruskay and all the others have done here. Yet again.
To hear this track and others in their full glory and respective setting (i.e. to enjoy them at their full potential), consider buying the game on Steam. If 30 bucks is a tad too pricey, keep an eye open during the holiday sales as the game is often subject to some very appealing discounts: store.steampowe...

The Keeper is aware.
The Keeper understands.
The Keeper has seen the enemy.
The Player has shit his pants.
I always saw the front of the Keeper as its face. Which didn't help with the creepiness from its first appearance.
But, that feeling was only brought on by the opening cinematic and the music. "The Keeper is aware, The Keeper understands, The Keeper has seen the enemy", all while the repetitive lyrics are whispered into your ears and building to a chant. Lending a sense of dread to a ship that is barely the size of a frigate.
That is something to be said about the power of music. Turning an ancient, AI controlled mass of metal into something akin to some ancient ghost haunting its derelict out in the cold of space. It makes you wonder what happened to the Progenitor empire when they could create such monsters.
I recall this little fucker tearing my fleet to shreds before I could get my movers to set up the trap.... and then going "Oh fuck ME" when I encountered the OTHER Keepers later and having them turn a good chunk of my fleet to wreckage again.
Also, I agree with you; that "Graveyard" you fight through is a SINGLE ship. And its got to be over 10 kilometers long all told.... something bad must have happened to make the Progenitors vanish....
Shinzon23 Pmsl they were hard little fuckers were they not?
kalibos11 is "Pmsl" or "Pissing myself Laughing" supposed to be a insult? And if it isn't use the more commonly used and recognizable "ROFL" dude.
Shinzon23 your not getting insulted it was genuine remark to what you said about the keeper tearing your fleet to shreds in the original hw2 it had a tendency to do that which i found amusing so please do try and stop being over sensitive there's a good boy
Lazurkri
I seem to recall that the Progenitors wiped themselves out in a civil war or something like that.

@@brokeneveningsunset9098 Yeah no shit! Every one of these missions was always on the knife's edge of failure. I remember redoing several a few times.
@Faffy Waffle
I vividly remember during first play-through that I have to restart that 2 missions involving Bentus so many times...
At least, back then I'm still aroung teens, and my strategy back then was 'head first'...
LOL yes those torpedo frigates got sent to the fight like a bunch of effing kamikaze Mitsubishi Zero
You look at that thing's "face" and tell me there's a merciful Sajuuk.

That screaming face!! stop focusing on my fucking destroyers!!
The soundtrack alone makes this game better than most AAA games in my opinion!
I still get goose bumps when I hear this... And I use Homeworld 2 soundtrack when I play lots of games. It's the soundtrack of my life.
Mothership jumps in the sector.
The Keeper is aware.
The Keeper understands.
The Keeper has seen the enemy.
0:07 I can't get over that horn in the background, it's just so freakishly awesome
I agree, the wobble to it sounds really good to my ears
I once hacked in a battlecrusier into the mission
Battlecruisier lost
Both games have such incredible soundtracks, but I must admit Homeworld 2 takes it up to 11.
+Pepitobenito It´s really awesome
thanks for uploading this, brings back old memories! great game, great soundtrack. Lets all hope for Homeworld 3.
Personally, my dream is to see a Homeworld instalment that tells the story of the ancient Hiigaran Empire, the story of the First Time. You know, when the Bentusi were the galaxy's police force, the war between the ancient Hiigarans and the rival Taiidan Empire, the finding of the 2nd core, Sajuuk's wrath etc.
Relevant reading:
homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Kushan (section 2.2 to 2.16)
ReylandAZ Not a bad idea. In a bit of a twist, I'd like all 3 races to be playable at different times, offering effectively 3 different campaigns, 3 different perspectives, as, for that time, the Hiigarans were hardly the underdog 'good guys' we know them as in HW1 and 2. They were abusive powermongers that grew arrogant and overstepped. We could see the side of a more sympathetic, yet vengeful, Taiidan Empire, contrasting a brutal Hiigaran regime, as well as the more neutral Bentusi. Basically a more morally grey era.
vincel126 Homeworld 3 was announced. Its called Homeworld: Shipbreakers. It takes place before homeworld 1. SUPER EXCITIED!!!!!
EmeraldCommandGAMING This news has been out for a while and no, it's not really 'Homeworld3'. It's more of a spin-off prequel that takes place on Kharak and features land/mid-air combat rather than space combat from what I've seen. You are part of a team that tracks down and excavates stuff buried in the desert, such as star ships.
That is all we have until they release more info.
Dang. I knew it was a prequel, but i didnt know it was a mid-air instead of space. That sucks. I still think it will be fun
I would prefer the Keepers over the Ghost ship from Homeworld any day.
+explode1010 I wonder if that ghost ship would play a role in future games! It would be extremely cool and super creepy, enhancing the horror aspect of the games! IMO, it should certainly make a comeback.
if you jack around with the game's files you can add progenitor ships to your fleet in HW1 campaign. the dreadnought outranges the ghost ship's bubble
same
If you mean the one that takes over other ships, you can defeat it fairly easily. Send a bunch of light fighters towards it from the front, and make sure they are set to Evasive. Their job is to decoy the defending ships away from the Ghost Ship. Once the ships have moved away, you have a second wave of plasma bombers come at the Ghost ship from the rear, and set them to Sphere formation, and attack the Ghost ship. Do enough damage and the control field will fail
i took the ship down by building an crapload of bombers, then have them sneak behind the ship while i literally sent my entire fleet going uraaaa mode onto it from the front, distracting the ships around it while dealing damage to it before they became subverted by it, i did not loose ANY ship
derp
Man, I was just playing this mission for the first time in mi life. The song just fits perfectly! I was surprised I got the chills with the whole scene!
Beautiful game, the art direction is sublime
I was bobbing to this theme while fighting them, so good.
god, this homeworld music kills me, litteraly, i'm can't stop listeting it's too good!
Rarely does an SF title manage to make the long-ago galactic precursors feel so genuinely ancient and lost to time, or make you feel like there's somehow ages worth of drifted sand in outer space now blowing off the stony face of a horror better left buried. I hope HW3 keeps up this same "swords & sandals" sensibility and things like the Sanskrit lyrics here, I absolutely loved it at the time and still do, it's such an impeccable combination with meticulously imagined starships.
When you realize you have to throw everything in just to buy yourself time to get your mission done!
'In guard a try me salmon' comes to my mind whenever I listen to this song 🤣
**Changes LUA files to spawn Battlecruisers**
Battlecrusier destroyed
@@recmonika9751 I lost so many
To clear up the confusion some may have, this isn't the 'exact' same theme in mission 8, rather it's reserved for mission 10, where The Keepers of Abassid pull the Pride of Hiigara and its fleet out of Hyperspace. So it should technically be "Keepers of Abassid Theme" as the Dreadnaught Keeper's theme doesn't have the subtle differences noticed in this one. :)
With that said, I do wish there was an actual HD copy of this one though, I love the changes of this version!
+ImTooLegendary I actually recorded this from Mission 08, during the fight with the Dreadnaught Keeper. I don't know if they changed the music that plays on M08 with a later patch, but it played in m08 and, as I would later find out, m10 as well when I did my HW2RM playthrough in February this year.
Interesting, I recently finished Homeworld 2 again within the last few days, so it must have changed since then. It might be specific to the Mac steam edition (which I doubt, but the Mac Client is recent in comparison), as I simply can't recall back in February when it was launched. Either way though, at least presently, it has changed. :)
Thanks for sharing this particular piece. It's a favorite of mine. I own all the games including the remastered versions and the OST :)
Homeworld Soundtrack: Tarkan Edition.
imagine if the progenitors returned...there'd be no chance for the hiigarans to stop them if they were on a warpath against all galactic races...the keeper was only one automated vessel, imagine how large and powerful the progenitor ships must be
+warbossgrotsmasha23
_"imagine if the progenitors returned...there'd be no chance for the hiigarans to stop them if they were on a warpath against all galactic races"_
After seeing what Homeworld: Cataclysm hinted at how old "The Beast" is and considering how automated and old the Progenitors were and how we ain't seeing 'em around anymore... I don't think they're coming back. Chances are, they're quite dead. Or, like the Bentusi, actually *_preferred_* death over conversion by the Beast.
No, it says they left the galaxy, not that they were consumed.
Their ships not big actually. But powerfull
@@Geworfenheit The Progenitor Mothership was 15 km long in-game, and due to the messy scaling of the gameplay ships, possibly even bigger in-lore.
Imagine theier super capital ships we seen only keeper movers sleepers and the sajuuk but there has to be more
Rough translation i found.
It's the keeper telling you what it is while its drones mumble "where's the target?" in the chorus/background.
To sum up, it's "I am perfect, protection, salvation, I have many with me, I am powerful, I am a ghost"
+Fucktardickis where did you find it?
On the forums, it's actually Persian or some such
"mana" translates to "where?" In a few languages
that makes this a bit creepy in my opinion
Deam son where did you find this ?
Sounds like the group healer in WoW.

Just pre-ordered the new homeworld, the gameplay looks solid and i can't wait to hear Paul's new songs :D
Homeworld 3!
Thanks for this upload, I collect OST's and the HW ones are amongst my favourites
I was playing the remastered version of HW2 and I noticed the different Keeper music straight away, glad to see this
kalibos11 Pleasure is in the detail, I find. Glad to hear it was to your enjoyment.
We are the Keepers of Abassid.
We are the servants of Sajuuk.
There is something bigger than a keeper. Go to the Nimbus Galaxy to see it.
Back in original HW2, I actually have to edit a Multiplayer map's LUA to use this as ambient music - forgot the name, but it was a huge map with a radiation wall in the center...
I miss my original HW1 where I can change the music at will in both Skirmish and Multiplayer maps...
Cataclysm/Emergence worked differently, as the function required either CTRL or SHIFT with a button to change music, also in both Skirmish and Multiplayer maps...
The FX:Galaxy mod for the Remastered edition has a built-in Music Player option, other mods can adopt this feature too if they wish to.
map is called TERAH
Very excellent without this awkward noise at 0:11, damn it.
Knowing that fleet size had an effect on enemy output kind of spoiled this game for me but its fun nonetheless
Dude i did bridge of sighs and when i got that sensor researched i just saw a metric shitload of taiidan frigates around the hyperspace jammer. Its wild
The key to beating this mission is to max out on pulsar corvettes.
Torpedo frigates (or looted rocket frigates, for that matter) are way better than corvettes.
I used like 20 ion frigates 10 sqads of bombers and 30 torpedo frigates and i lost
@@recmonika9751 because all those drones are anti frigates. They will target your destroyers and frigates first. Pulsar corvettes works the best against them.
OK boys the answer is that in HW2 pulsar corv were terribly bad, while in the remaster they were very solid. But in the old game even movers would wreck squads of corvettes you needed to go full frigate.
@@KRaikkonenSF still true for movers, but probably not drones. torpedo frigates are your best bet against movers, while you should use pulsars for drones.
movers are like the swarmers of HW2
Mover were anoying

This is my favorite track, and this version is better than the album version! How did you get it? I cannot find it in the full album I got from Steam! :'(
TexZK Yes, I was disappointed to see that this and other 'remixes' were not present on the tracklist as well. The official OST mainly seems to contain the 'cleaned up' versions of the original HW1/HW2 ost pieces with a few bonus tracks.
There's several of these..variations of the classic tracks in the RM campaign. You may notice that the Karos Graveyard BGM in HW1RM is slightly different from its HW1C counterpart, for instance. Slower pacing and all that.
Anyone 2019??
and now 2020 :)
Bruh i'm in 3019
this song has a few things added extra that makes it great... but the build-up is half the original and the original's long build-up was epic... but thats just my opinion

Sanskrit7
Anyone know the lyric?
The foreign stuff is actually sanskrit, it translates into something like 'imperishable flawless protection system' There's been a couple efforts to translate over the years but I never found any that got very far or got it right, but the entire song actually translates to english from sanskrit. Worth an archive binge or two.
@@magnus1114 imperishable flawless protection system, I like it.
What I remember is that it's basically "We are perfect protectors, we are perfect saviours" and "The power of spirit/soul is with me". Or maybe the last part is "I'm so far beyond you plebs". Even the best efforts I saw were sort of hesitant to put out definite translations. I also don't how authentic their efforts were.
The whispered mana mana mana is just "where where where" on repeat. I imagine it's the drones constantly broadcasting requests for targeting data, making them sound like frenzied, half-lobotomised, murdermachines.
