I may not have done a lot of things in life, but I am sure glad to have been born in a time period where I could experience this fantastic game and its music.
@@eatmerawww69 This is why we listen to this music to go back to that place... no pain, no stress. Just good friends, and the feeling of being truly alive. :)
Finally. Finally Finally!!! Been looking for this specific song from this game forever... Thank the internet, blessed be the youtube and praise you, Denam, for putting this up. I have finally found that song that has been tickling at the back of my brain for years.
It was 15 years ago (1998) and I hear ya man, I still have the disk and play it to this day, it has a big fanbase and people STILL play online with each other and they have huge servers with like 40-100 people on at a time, it's fun as hell.
WEAK. I've never player Jazz Jackrabbit 2, but this song had me rocking out, not crying, and now I kinda want to play some Jazz Jackrabbit 2 gimmie a sec
Cmon guys are u for real sure i played it too as a kid and i come once a year to hear it but come on we are men here, grown men and childhood was forever ago why you cry, crying gives you nothing, i never cry even when my family members pass away, sure i love them and they love me but crying ain't gonna bring em back, and you cry over a game really?
Left4Cake blizzard wasn't that big during starcraft release, however i'm not exactly sure how much not big it was In any case, medo said "for 1998", not "for epic games" so you can't really judge by the company
I still remember like it was yesterday, when my dad got me a game magazine with a CD which had the JJ2 demo in it. The demo's first level was a shortened lab level. 9-10 year old me had no idea why they would make a game about a hare with a gun, but the graphics were so colourful, the enemies were crazy cool and this song..wow. I still remember rushing to the end of the demo episode and Bubba kicking my ass every single freaking time. Only years later did I manage to beat him without cheat codes.
Oh my god! It's the same with me. My dad got a magazine with a CD that had this demo on it. The first game I ever played in my life. I will never forget it. 💙
What I really like in this track is how the rhythm is so dynamic right at the beginning and keeps pushing the bass untill the end. Can't tell you how I love this theme so much.
Back in high school I had this english teacher who would always do listening tests. One day the whole class had enough and we made a quest to see how could we “hack” her speaker. I had an IPhone 3GS at the time as a replacement phone. During class, as she was trying to connect to that speaker, I kept spamming the poor thing from my 3GS and lo and behold I got into the speaker. Next thing I do, I blast this at full volume. Some select few classmates knew the song and instantly smiled. She never found out who it was who “hacked” her speaker.
Yes :) It does sound like that because Alexander Brandon was the composer behind Jazz Jackrabbit and, among other things, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, and many other "synthy" soundtracks from that era. One of the best composers for some of the best games ever.
When I was younger, the first time I reached this level I thought it was the end of the game because of the music, how hard it was, and it looked cool.
I believe this was one of the levels that were included in demo version I had some time before getting the full version, this and Diamondus, I guess. The soundtrack to this game is still insanely good. 💜
Oh so much childhood. I played this on my first computer. A thinkpad 600. It was the demo form a shareware CD. I wanted the full version so bad but never got it ;_;
@@pockypurse I had Flowers (Květiny) by Bohemia Interactive (before they became known for Operation Flashpoint), and this same demo was bundled with it, Rayman 2 and another UbiSoft platformer, Tonic Trouble, that has Nestle product placement.
I never had the full game but I played the shareware demo 9001 times. This was the first level, followed by the magic mushroom trip one, then the one with witches that turn you into a frog.
Man, this music was way, way ahead of its time. It really wouldn't be out of place today, and this was made in what, 1995, thereabouts? That's almost TWENTY years ago. I miss this game like burning. Played it for hours and hours. SPAZ LIFE! 8D
Thanks to you posting this music, SupSuper, I've had to go re-buy this game...now I can play the game and can listen to the music while doing other things! You rock!
You know what's driving me crazy? there are many cover versions of this track (some are pretty good too) but they all seem to play the lead part of 0:14 completely different. at least it sounds different to me. Does anyone else notice? i'm talking about that "chimes" lead.
I can definitely hear that. The melody of the "crystal-synth" (Also used by Skaven for the Bejeweled tracks) was rather incorrectly played on many covers: Original (First three notes): D5, E5, F5 Most covers (First three notes, plays five notes): D5, E5, F5, E5, C5 Edit: But let's be real, here, nothing of this sort could degrade how a lot of the covers actually sound badass!
@@seifeldeennoureldeen3429 Oh definitely, every cover I heard at least is awesome! Btw, since that comment I downloaded a free tracker (OpenMPT) and I got a .IT file of this song from somewhere, and what's cool is that way you can see how the song is written, with all the channels and stuff. From what I remember, the notes are written exactly like how every cover plays it, but I think it's something about the sample that was used, that certain aspects of it are louder than others, so you can only hear certain notes of the melody. I don't remember exactly though, I should check it again sometime.
Used to play this game a LOT in the past. Unfortunately the laptop where I have this game wont boot up anymore :'( it just beeps and tells that hard drive has problems with it
Lol, good old times! Awesome track. Now I´m playing this on 18" woofers, giving to taste it to our neighbours. At 14 and 18s it storms really good! :-)
This would have been the opening theme for Pinkie and the Brain had it been a more sci-fi genre. Now that I think of it, one of the enemy types in that level DO kinda look like them. They have Pinkie's posture, and Brain's angry grin

I'm hearing Jazz saying "Waaa" because I imagine him being hit by that rat in the pic =D
HEHEHEHEEEEE
sometimes i didn`t do anything in this game just to listen to the music for a while
Today such a behavior would give you a trophy for doing nothing ;) jazz jackrabbit was absolutely my holy childhood
Hey! What's up, come on!
The mice or rats in this level make me think of Pinky and the Brain, which is surprising as I never saw that show.

I had the demo when we got our Windows 98 PC, then 10 years later found the whole game was available on Abandonia, excellent.

Search Jazz Jackrabbit 2 - Shareware Demo OST if you want to hear the rest of the songs that were on that demo!
I know that feeling
Fun fact: the guy who composed this song, Alexander "Siren" Brandon, was also the voice of Ancano and Amaund Motierre in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Hey, that's pretty cool!
He also composed the legendary soundtracks for Unreal Tournament and Deus Ex ❤
Now I've got that mental image of Ancano vibing to this exact song while scheming to advance the Thalmor's interests.
The weird thing is that this music is really really good. I mean all the songs from Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Hats off to Alexander Brandon.

The Crusader games were composed by the amazing duo of Daniel Gardopee and Andrew Sega.

It makes me think of his song "Broadway".

+OtherSyde For sure. Have you listened to anything from his album "Just Fun"? There are some killer tunes on there, I highly recommend it :)
This soundtrack is pretty darn good for 1998.
starcraft's better

I can still hear the rats!
Downloaded the game tonight. Haven't played it since I was 6... Listening to this soundtrack bought a little tear to my eye. Childhood memories...
Just had an interview at a genetics and molecular biology lab. A science kind of day requires a science kind of music.

Dat Song. My childhood :*(
I spent a year trying to find this, my holy grail.

This level was always my favorite for sure
They need this game to be on consoles for sure its a master piece
0:43 Best ever music in JJR2
Memories..... DAMN. I... i think I'm crying.
AHHHhhh Memories!
cannot stop to listen to this music...
I still have my old V1.00 Disc.. I should pop it in someday and relive my childhood.
Those rats were always a bigger pain in the arse than expected. And those bloody red balloon things!
I love this OST, this is the one i love in the whole Jazz Jackrabbit 2 game, thank you Alexander Brandon for your amazing work!!!!
This hits different from the other ones, it just has that right feeling of being mixed with labratory and jj2
damn,those childhood memories,haha

I remember when my uncle downloaded it, my sister and me had fun...Despite JJ not being a known game character.
the background with this music, old and destroyed computers, the mystery...
When I was younger, the first time I reached this level I thought it was the end of the game because of the music, how hard it was, and it looked cool.
First game I've ever played. This song will never get old
The music is obviously grand but I really love that screenshot. :D
it's a lot nicer to hear when Speedkart isn't fucking sending people flying in every which way.
I believe this was one of the levels that were included in demo version I had some time before getting the full version, this and Diamondus, I guess. The soundtrack to this game is still insanely good. 💜
Yes, I was in the Shareware camp as well.
The only thing about this soundtrack that sounds unusual for me is that it is never interrupted by the sugar rush theme. :D
Wow, I really missed this game and its soundtracks. I downloaded it and started playing again. It's so nostalgic. :3
Oh so much childhood. I played this on my first computer. A thinkpad 600. It was the demo form a shareware CD. I wanted the full version so bad but never got it ;_;

I LOVE the sound effects on this game! The little 'crunch' sounds it makes when you get a carrot!
This is the soundtrack of the happiest part of my childhood
Feels like early 2000 again! Used to play this game with my cousin on School Computer!
This was my favorite game back in the day. This brings me back!
I can imagine a dance party with Jazz Jackrabbit music.
10 years later but I have the same idea as you 😜😜
The guys who made these soundtracks are geniuses. They are half of the atmosphere.
most legendary soundtrack EVER!
