All of the Follin brothers are now off doing other careers, Geoff is now a primary teacher and part-time teacher but he occasionally does music. Tim has a family, having 2 school-age children.

I like how at the beginning the Follin brothers were probably like "Okay, we have this child friendly platformer and we need to make a boss track for it. Let's make a haunted house type theme and add a rhythm with snare drums." And then after making 26 seconds of audio they decided "Nah lets make some blood pumping music that objectively should not be in this game." And I'm all for it.
Ok so this video is 12 years old so I don't know who's going to see it but my god the samples for the music in this game are straight up incredible The guitar sample sounds like an actual fuzz guitar, something even modern MIDI artists/samples suck at replicating. WELL DONE
this sounds like fuzz??????????????????????????????????? it sounds nothing like it tbh. maybe very close approximations at best but in no way is this realistic. although it sounds good in its own right, idk what midi artists or sample packs you're looking at but these are samples from the roland jv series
@@snesmochaim and Geoff often did the most realistic music for their chips, look up more of their stuff, also this rip is crusty af, listen to Plokfan's.
the musical representation of getting into an abandoned haunted estate while being armed head to toe with holy weapons. The laugh bits is the ghost hunter cracking up as he sees the ghouls and ghosts trying to escape from him

!\\Plok assault in progress//!
Goodbye Geoff! Thank you for this, and many more amazing pieces.
I like how at the beginning the Follin brothers were probably like "Okay, we have this child friendly platformer and we need to make a boss track for it. Let's make a haunted house type theme and add a rhythm with snare drums."
And then after making 26 seconds of audio they decided "Nah lets make some blood pumping music that objectively should not be in this game."
And I'm all for it.
WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, LIMBS WILL FLY!!!!
There's a reason Plok only has one Boss theme, and it's because Plok is the boss.
This went from Monster Mash to Hotline Miami real fast
rest in paradise geoff, one of the best to ever do it
Ok so this video is 12 years old so I don't know who's going to see it but my god the samples for the music in this game are straight up incredible
The guitar sample sounds like an actual fuzz guitar, something even modern MIDI artists/samples suck at replicating. WELL DONE
Ikr?
this sounds like fuzz??????????????????????????????????? it sounds nothing like it tbh. maybe very close approximations at best but in no way is this realistic. although it sounds good in its own right, idk what midi artists or sample packs you're looking at but these are samples from the roland jv series
@@snesmocha It's on different songs.
@@snesmochaim and Geoff often did the most realistic music for their chips, look up more of their stuff, also this rip is crusty af, listen to Plokfan's.
Going from haunted house to hotline Miami
Exactly
nice ifunny joke
Well, are they wrong?
@@DeadHandtheSurvivor no but that did come straight off of iFunny. That's how i found this damn song
haunted miami
God damn this music is INSANE. Like levels above most boss themes in the 1990's. Really ahead of its time.
a fight happened like literally in front of me at my school while i was listening to this
Better get some popcorn 'cuz shit's boutta go down in that fight

Plok is the dangerous one.

i mean, yeah, he DID completely wipe out an entire SPECIES just because they stole his flag. i wouldn't wanna mess with that type of guy, personally.

This damn near gave me a heart attack when I first heard it. An experience I'd want to experience again.
the musical representation of getting into an abandoned haunted estate while being armed head to toe with holy weapons.
The laugh bits is the ghost hunter cracking up as he sees the ghouls and ghosts trying to escape from him
怖！😱
Plok really is like a sleeper hit. Never caught on back in the day, pretty popular many, many years after it's release
海外では知名度凄いの？
The song went from luigi's mansion directly to hotline miami☠️☠️☠️
My man made a banger electro music on Snes
Years later and I still come back to this soundtrack. Tim and Geoff Follin went extremely hard.
I didnt know the snes had the capability to drop the beat like an atom bomb but i guess in the right hands it does
Actual fucking wizard Tim Follin wasn't aware of what "limits" were
David wise is another good composer who pushed the limits of SNES music
I know it's a bit late but RIP Geoff, thank you for making the greatest boss theme on the SNES possible. I wish Tim Follin had an online presence as strong as Jeroen Tel. It would be nice if he saw how much his brother will be missed.
Somebody really put out the hardest track of the SNES era for a game called "Plok!"
Wait, this is the actual ost? I've been listening to this thinking it was a siivagunner rip for years! This bangs hard
This should play when you get one of those "i am 100 meters away from your location, and approaching rapidly. Start running" messages.
Squidward did not survive that incident
I don't think there's a better drop in video game history than 0:29
Check out Solstice's title screen also composed by Tim Follin
@@Plasmarielあれは難しいゲームです
数分で積みました(T_T)
So much to say that, Earthbound - Pokey Means Business and Plok - Boss has literally the biggest drops of the entire video game history.
@@zanithony1276yo cte/pmb mentioned⁉️
RIP Geoff...
They went so hard for no reason
Other than because it's the Follin brothers.
Rest in peace, Geoff Follin
IT WAS FUCKING PLOK, TIM. IT WAS PLOK!!!!
I love how the beat just sounds like marching or clapping. It feels like the songs telling me to stay in line
Wtf thats funny
yeah-
recently I started playing Doom, and I gotta say... this music would not be a bad choice for fighting off a hellspawned demon boss.
This is pretty good for the Marauder.
Classic Doom on SNES.
By the way, Tim Follin made Plok!’s music along with Pictionary, Silver Surfer, and some others, too.
Equinox and Solstice are his other notable ones too.
@@rommix0 😠Ugh, those two words remind me of a certain Deviantart porn artist I've grown to hate.😆
remember his works on the C64 and ZX Spectrum. The C64 ghouls and ghosts soundtrack is also amazing.
Seems like most of the games Tim Follin worked on sucked, Plok was good, but failed in sales.
