Everybody gansta until the 8bit space around you started speaking chiptunes

[@fumi2360]

sounds like world 8 super mario 3 nes

[@Pourmeup00]

world 8 was probably inspired by this

[@scottythegreat1]

There are quite a few composers that were influenced by just this piece alone.

[@SilverSwordCreative]

FOR REAL

[@pcorf]

Airship theme.

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

Pssst, because it is.

[@GarethDennisTV]

this is ABSOLUTELY MIGHTY

[@GarethDennisTV]

please tell me you do commissions

[@automatescellulaires8543]

It's become clear that this piece was written for 8 bits machines. Even though they wouldn't be around for 70 years yet.

[@VogtTD]

Holst was truly a visionary

[@abrahamzepeta]

Finally, something that fits my needs! Amazing work!

[@SucceedingDespiteIdiocy]

This rendition makes me think that The Quatermass Experiment (which used this as its theme) would've made a great point-and-click adventure game...

Galaga was slacking on their soundtrack! Where was this when they needed it most???

I am humbly requesting once more the MIDI files..

[@LogarMartin]

Mistake in 1:46, in the "trumpets" should be E flat major, but it's minor :)

[@ItzTiger1217]

Haha

[@daario4278]

Sounds like gannons theme

[@SilverSwordCreative]

[@K4Cubing]

Buddy this was written like 100 years prior to star wars

[@wakrusgumbo]

TFW you realize the riff is HTO in morse code.

[@__414.88b_]

YES

[@DmitriMatveyevMC]

Pov: you face a powerful enemy in rusted warfare

[@silentplayer6656]

as great as this is, 8-bit soundbits not having any sort of dynamics really makes the piece feel kind of off

[@williamreid6255]

Well it’s hard to code dynamics and accelerandos/rits exactly the way you want them in 8-bit so it’s realistic

[@ahmadabughazaleh0]

FAIRY WORLD WAR with pixels version
