- Unreal Tournament - Skyward Fire (Original Version)
Composed by Michiel Van Den Bos
----------------------------------------------
Taken from Unreal Tournament '99. Ripped with Winamp and encoded by LAME @ 192 kbps.
This is the original track from UT '99. There is an Unreal Tournament III remix of this song floating around, but I figured I'd upload the original.
I've got the flag.
***** Daftpanzer dropped the flag!
Daftpanzer Try turning the safety of!
***** and this is why i like unreal tournament
*Enemy flag carrier here!*
*H E A D S H O T !*
Michiel Van Den Bos, he went down in history as one of the legendary composers! This track is great
Iconic and timeless sounds from a grand era in videogaming. Thanks for the insightful comment.
you GD right
real
there is a good reason why old games remain so legendary because music matched the atmosphere and so did aesthetics of game design assets
I very much agree with that statement.
exactly!
Indeed. Cause singleplayer and early multiplayer games sales were based on it's quality and playability. Now you can show down throat any number of DLC/micropayments/pay-towin and noone is wiser, as there's no much alternative. Everyone went down the toilet with quality and new-ultra-tech does not give justice to the game it that is lacking the vibe.
This can't get enough thumbs up from me!!!!
That's so true today's game is just bussines if you don't have money to play the game you're nothing so thats why I love this old game is the best for me 😊
There is something magical about this song...
Yes indeed. When you think this is done with basic samples and mod / tracker tech...
True Mate :-) Cheers from Poland!!!
It manages to be both serene and energizing at the same time - with FANTASTIC bass.
UT99 has the best music and atmosphere
This Music theme travels you Many Miles Away and Contains SO Much harmony and Quiet Atmosphere into the Mind... ✌️✌️✌️🙏🇬🇷Ut 1999 BEST GAMES EVER MADE
I remember as a teenager I had a Dreamcast and got Quake 3 in my hands.
It was a hell of a game and a great introduction to arena shooters. I enjoyed
it very much but I got Unreal Tournament maybe a couple months later. I still
loved Quake but something about UT kept me playing for months and months
on end.
It wasn't so much that it was a better game because they were practically even
in those regards. Neither had more interesting characters to me and the weapons
on each game were about the same, too.
It was years later I understood the power of a great game soundtrack and while
Quake 3 had a good one, I don't even remember any of the tracks.
UT always stuck in my head and kept me coming back just to play the space levels
and hear music like this. It was teenage life so of course it was "troubled" and filled
with confusion. Something about this kind of music helped me settle the dust.
I could never forget it or even have a music collection without this song or others
like Foregone Destruction and Botpack 9.
+RockyVega (The Brand Master) agreed
for me it was that quake 3 had way too many "ledges to fall off"/platformer feel to the maps. also thought the weapons were more interesting/unique in UT. graphically q3 was def superior tho; superior engine.
Agree with everything except the weaponry part. UTs weapon set is FAR better...
Plus UT can still run on a win10 pc.
in my head i hear health vile pickups and the roar of the lava.
and Bots shit talking with a 1/18 KD
and translocators thrown and used sounds everywhere.
"Toooooo easy!"
Unforgettable game
Lava giant had a very cool thing if you put low grav mutator you can actuall reach the top of the wall then you can play like you are playing facing worlds you know what i mean
Epic games in 1999> We make cool arena shooter that will define future titles on years to come with also unforgettable soundtracks
Epic games in 2018> I be floosssssin
Technically they're still making cool arena shooters that define future titles. You just don't like the new ones
@@sualocin ok zoomer
@@sualocin I wouldn't exactly call Fortnite an "arena shooter". UT4 was one, but it was killed in favour of mining cash from Fortnite...
Nowadays Epic seems to be more concerned about getting people to use their garbage marketplace with predatory tactics and very questionable customer security.
Fortnite....arena shooter..... No
@@sualocin fortnite is not an arena shooter. zoomer brain rot is real
Thousands of custom maps, sounds, musics, mods, weapons, skins, textures. A fully upgradable game, playable in 1999 in 640x480 with low 3D effects and today in 3840x2160 and more, with autoscale resolution and compatibility with D3D11, etc.
Magical musics and mood, and multiplayer online and on LAN.
Really, they knew how to make real games, at this time...
LAN gaming was the best. Being able to play with your best buddies in the same house on different PC's. Everyone owned their own physical copy of the game. They really don't do gaming like they used to, and it's not necessarily for the better that things have changed in so many ways.
@@TheReapersSon LOL no not everyone owned their own physical copy of UT, I remember seeing people pass around copies on CDR that had CD Keys written on them. That being said I do sometimes miss the physical copy thing, I used to display the boxes in my room and UT was one of the few that I remained displayed until I moved out.
They were limited, so they had to actually make a game instead of pretty scripted shock and awe events xD
@@TheReapersSon And the whole game fit into 750MB :D
After a particular update you no longer needed the CD in the drive to play the game as i recall. So i'd borrow my friend's copy, install it and give it back@@krowa02
24 years later and this song is still my most favorite of Unreal.
That's my absolute favourite! Especially when I'm driving through the city at midnight :)
i never forget you unreal tournament
Magda Hernandez Vasquez And why did you stop playing?
@@andreidaniacovache he never answered
Absolute feeling of nostalgia hitting me so hard, man so many hours i played UT when i was younger, playing the whole weekend through, playing all through the night and watching the sun rise again and jacked up on caffeine beverages and so psyched to just keep on playing, not a care in the world about anything else, this was what my whole young adult life consisted of and if i could relive my life again, i would do the exact same thing, i regret nothing. ggwp everyone else who was playing, I'll see you in facing worlds
Same here first played this game when I was 10 years old.. And I still listen to the sound track
This comment hits so hard. Thanks for jogging my memories loose. Those were such good times! Not a care in the world except trying to outgun your opponents at 4 AM.
the whole unreal '99 and ut ost is a flawless ambient tribal techno albums that i worship and love
Thanks for the comment! I agree, it's full of classics that can never be topped.
they are actually everythingyou said but instead of techno maybe drumnbass would fit better xD
God this song is so relaxing.
Relaxing AND energizing. I love it :)
It's so mystical.
Relaxing, Mystical and Energizing.
An Ambient gem.
Desearia volver el tiempo atrás y sentir esto, solo jugar un sábado sin preocupaciones ni dolores, te amo ut siempre estarás en mi corazón
Alexander and Michiel are back on the UT4 team for the music.
***** Hell yeah. :)
Still pre-alpha in 2018 :/
not a problem, fast fps aren't back on the scene yet, its a question of time now
Better sooner rather than later. I'd play Quake Champions, but its too lootbox oriented to be considered Quake. And almost everything else is some form of Fortnite/PUBG/Overwatch clone.
I'm afraid it won't sound as awesome, because now they are going to use modern music editors, which do not sound as awesome as UMX tracker instruments.
But lets hope for the best.
Only a 25 kill streak can describe this track
Godlike.
MMMMMMM MMMMMMM MMMMONSTER KILL
piston jumping over the walls of your base to a successful flag capture while 3 players are trying to get you with shock rifle primary fire.
Most of the music tracks in Unreal Tournament pumps me up for fast-paced deathmatch gunfights... but this one is more or less the exact opposite and makes me instead want to explore the mysterious planet that is Lava Giant, all while taking my time and ignoring the carnage that’s happening around me as people get their heads shot off by snipers, obliterated by Flak Cannons or pushed into the lava with shock rifles.
And i love it for it, it calms your senses.
ppl are still playing Facing Worlds CTF in UT99 in 2019 and it's still awesome yall join the fun
Robot commentator: "Welcome to the Opening Round of the five hundred twenty third Nakhti Ascension Rites. I'm joined by Malcolm, who is no stranger to combat tournaments."
Malcolm: "Good to be here. It's a nice morning here in the Nakhti capital, but it's about to get nasty."
Robot commentator: "It's been eight years since Emperor Hasan won the accepter. Now he's fallen ill, and must step aside."
Malcolm: "So now, hundreds of hopefuls from across the planet are here to fight for the throne, or die trying."
Robot commentator: "This year competitors who reach the playoffs also qualify for the big leagues, the Liandri Grand Tournament."
Malcolm: "This competition may be small, but it won't leave you disappointed. Ancient traditions, a final match to the death, and all the carnage you expect from a sanctioned Liandri tournament. Heh! I can't wait."
Robot commentator: "Let's get to the action."
The chorus, the vibe, the endless possibilities. Timeless
Wow, this bring back such nostalgic memories of my late childhood years growing up in the late 90s.
My favorite UT99 track!!
This track here sure makes me want to play this at a club or some other EDM concert event. Such qualities so enjoyable to hear. Beauty to my ears.
seems like vincent neumann will play this at berghain this week
UT had the craziest settings. Castles on top of floating asteroids, abandonded spaceships, you name it. The music made the whole experience even more magical. Modern shooters are full of crap.
True, the level design and music make UT'99 the pinnacle of arena shooters. I'd say the genre peaked when Quake 3 and UT'99 came out. UT's overall aesthetic is my favorite. The Deck level is one of my favorites due to its multi-tiered design and the nooks and crannies you can hide in along with the "secret" redeemer.
This song is the healthiest addiction you can have.
in this music, i literally hear like heaven is calling you......
I don't know why it gives such a feeling when listening to the song but its amazing )) UT forever!!!! Good memories of teen age!
I can listen to this song on a rainy day it's so relaxing!
For some reason, the bit which stretches from 3:21 to 4:00 gets me every time. Chills, man. Chills.
Skeletor Jopko me too bro. this was by far my favourite level in the entire game with Eternal caves and Facing Worlds being a close 2nd
Skeletor Jopko Kind of got that minimal house vibe going on
Aaaye, definitely a bit of Detroit going on in this mix.
Sungrove Rise what was the name of this level again?
You can find it primarily in Lava Giant. They used it in other levels but Lava Giant is the most iconic.
Very few people realize just how masterfully crafted these tracks are, not only for the listener, but also the player.
Like most ut99 tracks, this one starts slow and gradually picks up. The player is still usually in base gearing up at this time. This track was made for lava giant, and about a minute in is when the track picks up, this is usually when the enemy gets first spotted by the player. Snipers and shock rifles start going off.
Then towards the middle it slows down again. Usually the player is picking up the enemy flag or just killed or got killed by the initial encounter at this point.
Nuance like this is why UT 99 will always be the GOAT of shooter and game design. It was definitely a special time back then for thoughtfulness and innovation in games.
Hands up best UT track
Yep. I used to listen to this one on repeat when I was going to sleep.
Skyward fire and botpack #9
metroid and UT99 have the best music ever!!
What a great piece of music ....remeber playing facing worrlds .......hahaahha long time ago....damn i'm old
Gorgeous. Lava Giant's the most mysterious map, and this track is the biggest reason.
#1 association with this map was ASSAULT map - Mazon.
@@digimaks exactly my thought
I love this soundtrack.
Lava Giant!
this games atmosphere in sound design was way ahead of it's time.
this track is beyond awesome. Love for UT1999
This song is perfect to chill as well relax to
A good song for a war between two little castles, which are connected through 3 little tunnels.
❤
Absolutely love this track
such nostalgia
UT1999 tracks were beyond it's time. They are still are.
Somebody get our flag back!
Remember when games used to have that extra something in them?
I don't know about others, but I hear fireballs from automatic cannons with this track.
This song make me feel a lot of things
For me, it's long summer nights of UT'99 deathmatch. The vibes first felt after bringing home my copy of UT: GOTY edition. It brings memories of a life long ago.... a simpler time of joy, bouncing through half gravity, defending one's flag on the battlefield as you dodge rockets and flak. Good stuff.
@@TheReapersSon that's other universe, in our minds
this is beautiful
The best track from UT'99, IMO
This tune is like low gravity indeed ;)
(Hears Redeemer's rocket flying some where)
This is timeless! 🥰
We are the alpha and the omega
Hey, we did a track that was heavily influenced by this track. I'd love to get some opinions and feedback.
?
Xan: Anyone else want some?
I blast this in my car with no Shame
Why would you feel shame
The best game forever 😍😘
Best first-person shooter since the original Doom. UT even had a massive custom level community just like Doom.

my FAVORITE
I've had a craving for Skyward Fire for some time. Found other videos of this in the past. Too lazy to find them again. Just searched "Skyward Fire". Here I am. Played it when it came out. Good player then. Now? I would embarrass myself trying.
Thank you for posting this 15 years ago. 2009? Funny how time passes.
@@tigerzero5216 to this day, I still feel UT99 was the most innovative arena shooter. The fact that you could use a personal teleporter and frag opponents with it is still impressive to me.
@@TheReapersSon Your post inspired me. I just spent almost 2 hours carefully composing a comment on here that was important for me to say and I think you would have iked it. It would only have taken a min or two to read. I wanted it to be perfect....
It was about done. Then...
I made a keyboard mistake. It got erased. No UNDO button in TH-cam. They track all our keystrokes.
Whoa. Almost made the same mistake...
In very short. UT99 is my favorite as well. I never was able to use the TP effectively.
I liked and was good at the CTF low grav instagib game format. Boosting team players across the map.
That's the one paragraph/short version of what i wanted to say.
Still took me almost half an hour to write this.
Salute.
Magnifique OST. Surtout sous LSD.
2021, still listening
Real gaming was between 1997 and 2001
"Headshot!"
this track is so legendary
this will echoe in eternity for all ages to come
CTF-LavaGiant - that Redeemer...
If you're interested: The pad sound at the beginning can be managed quite well with VSTi Alter / Ego in poly mode. Text: "Aaaaaa" :-)
Thank you for your insight!
We're under heavy attack!
Sounds so much like Underworld - Dark & Long (Dark Train). Great stuff :)
I can see why you'd say that. Cheers :)
Yep, I think this artist was heavily inspired by Underworld. The ending of UT's Mechanism Eight reminds me a lot Mmm Skyscraper I Love You.
Iceferno shit I directly came from that song to this one and then you said that! COINCIDENCE!!!!'nn
Necros actually remixed "Skyscraper I Love You" itself. It's a neat mix I gotta say.
Very good shout on this... this game took up so many hours of my childhood - along with listening to endless hours of my childhood fav group, Underworld :)
Just came across this and ❤❤❤❤ it! I remember this!!!! “You like thaaaat!!!”
M m m m mmmmmmmooooonnnnster killlllll killlll killlll killlllllll
😢😢😢😢😢 simpler times. Dead friends I remember playing this with them !!!!!! Hurts bad 😢
This track really takes me places..
Здравствуйте, я с Абсолют Рп 3

А это что такое?
Burn baby
0:14 - When the beat drops. 👌
Ut silahlı döğüş oyunlarının kralı ve inanılmaz güzellikteki şarkılarından birisi Skyward Fire (capture the flag) oyunundan...
pikefishmaster I love Lava Giant. UT99 still reigns supreme in level design, in my opinion.
aynen aga razorback şarkısıda çok iyi
Same Team
Ah those childhood space exploration days in UT99
Masterpiece.
Rip unreal epic forgot about this game because of fortnite not many ppl are playing it
Xan - "I am the Alpha and the Omega."
Still launched that robot into space though.
Facing worlds! = best CTF map ever!!
It was the only one with a crazy background rotation. It was ahead of it's time.
best shooter ever made
Absolutely. Nothing today comes remotely close to replicating the perfect combo of atmosphere, level design, music and gameplay.
@@TheReapersSon i really liked the tone of call of duty ghosts but even that doesnt come anywhere near this. lightning in a bottle
This is best music in unreal tournament
Awesome track...can play UT levels forever with this music....UT3 has it also ...slightly different. Good memories.
Instagib, Shock rifle, Low gravity…🔥
And translocator!!! ❤️
15 disembodied heads are still drifting in orbit
Blue leader, I've got your back.
Flak yeah!
Underrated

the best track for the best game ever
You like that?
Same team, idiot!! 😂
I'm sorry, did I blow your head apart?
ZeroDawn Network.
This is absolutely mindblowing. Life is so weird. What a strange realm I've been put into.
This song makes think back on everything I've ever done. If a piece of art manages to do that you've truly created something beautiful
Massive nostalgia factor with this one. Michiel Van Den Bos is a genius.
squidward fire
If the dead were stupid enough to drink in this kind of rememberence we'd all be wasting our lives
