You can support me on - ko-fi.com/retrovex this video took FOREVER to make, please let me know if the visuals are too distracting, if i over done it, and if any sequence is out of place or could've been done differently, I'm always happy to take in critical feedback! other than that I hope you enjoyed this rather big audio/visual experiment!! 💜💜💜💜💜 Thank you for everyone who donated 5:42 so far it means a lot and helps me greatly with making more videos like these!💜 59:00 👀
I really admire and respect that you've created this whole visual journey I KNOW how much work that is, but I'll be honest, personally I only watch about the first 60 seconds and then I'm minimizing and enjoying the ambience. it's quite frustrating actually that I can see that there's a lot of interesting visuals I'm missing, but I do not have the attention to sit there for an hour and watch it change I'm listening to ambient because I'm doing other stuff with my eyes lol - the Windows 95 one is perfect because I can just open the tab occasionally and the familiar floating PC makes me smile and relax :)
I love these tracks, they help me focus and clear my mind. I'd like to see more of this concept, perhaps with old video game consoles of the 90's and early 2000's. Playstation, Xbox and Gamecube have background music that deserves a soundscape.
My dude, your work is incredible. Your ambience gets me through hours of working and studying for exams. If I need a break? I stare at the screen and let myself chill with your insanely cool visuals. I don't think there's much to critique - your videos far exceed anything I could ever ask for. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for the lovely video❗️❗️💜To anyone reading this,you are enough,you're beautiful( or handsome),loved and stay strong. Have a wonderfu day/nightl 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
You have no idea how helpful these ambient loops are to me. I play them quite a lot while working and it makes me think a lot of my childhood. Never stop doing this ✨
That there is the only reason I am commenting. Thanks for saying it. That game and my pc was all I had in 1999. Everything had been taken from me by a very bad person and I was just a teen, confused and angry about it all. It was just homeschooling to survive a long and unnecessary court battle that I was innocent of. That's where I met HalfLife, chat rooms, and Napster. 😢
Win XP was the trusted workhorse for over a decade, even past its successor. It should never have been replaced. This track brings back memories of a crisp clean desktop with a study hutch housing the new digital hardware straight out of the box. It was suddenly making our lives easier from calculating fractions to adding friends to a new email group
This is just as special as the 90s computer room one, I love it. The first track especially seems to evoke the uplifting optimism of the new millennium before 9/11 happened. I remember how different windows XP sounded and felt vs. 95/98. Love each though. I know this is all relative though, I was just a happy kid back then playing computer games on the family PC.
This is giving me heavy 2000-2002 vibes, the sounds and the graphics of this video capture that era of computers really well. Man I still remember installing windows 2000 and geeking out over the Mouse curser having a shadow behind it, that was HQ stuff back then lol
Not just the shadow but, for the first time, the implementation of interpolation on the cursor movement made it feel hardware-accelerated almost. You'll notice the difference between the movement and frames of this OS vs Windows 9X.
Wow this is WILD, definitely exceeded my expectations! Made sure I watched everything too.. wasn't expecting a full on epic movie but very much appreciate all of it! I really dig those multidimensional / layered chord progression sections (@10 - 15min.. and its equivalent near the end.. those are some deep level vibes I can personally relate with... and then there's the ending.. 🔥Perfect! @@RetrovexAmbient
39:00 Teenage me would have made a clip of this part and set it to play full-screen every time my computer booted. Absolutely beautiful. Retrovex, I think you might have just invented the Millenniwave genre, the ambience in this feels so perfectly sandwiched between the Millennium Bug when we thought planes were gonna fall from the sky, and the day in New York when they actually did. There should be a word for nostalgia for a time that felt like the future, but is now in the past, I love Sovietwave for that same kind of feeling and this absolutely nails it, well done.
I was one of the lucky few who had an exceptional experience with Windows ME. I look back on that being one of my most favorite operating systems. I can't exactly recall why, but maybe that's about when I started really getting into using my own personal PC at home and taking over control on what hardware I could install on it and what kind of games I could play. Either way, this takes me back to the simpler times and reminds me that even with how chaotic and immediate life can be today, there are still ways to disconnect and recharge. Thank you for this series. I'm excited for what else you have in store for us!
These videos/soundscapes are incredible when used for sleep hypnosis and meditation. This and the Windows 95 soundscape in particular have really helped bring me back to joyful moments of discovery during my childhood. I'm on a journey to find my sense of purpose again and these videos have been so helpful. All I can say is thank you and please keep creating, Retrovex!
This was the first PC I had when I was a kid. My mom was a freelance worker and worked from her home office (talk about being ahead of the curve) and we were the first family that had a PC this new. What a time to be a 9 year old.
Man absolutely awesome job on this! The lonely computer’s journey through deep space! And the whole ending is fantastic. I’m thinking the computer was going through deep space, went through a portal and ended up at earth? And that’s how humanity got Windows 2000! I don’t know but I’m excited for the next one! 😁
I love it. the sound / ambience but also the visuals. We are a tough crowd to please.. we want awesome well thought out visuals but then we also want to have it in the background while we do other things and not actually watch it. Until we DO want to watch it, in which case these visuals are amazing. So I both love and hate that are so many different things happening in this video :) I like the variety, and I like that it keeps going back to the main ones of it streaking across the black sky
Amazing! I can’t wait to see the beautiful Windows XP episode 👍 Also maybe a Dreamcast or PlayStation adventure or how about an aviation themed one dedicated to all those beautiful aircraft that took us to amazing destinations but are sadly no longer with us or slowly rotting away in a boneyard?
You have my gratitude. Right now I'm working on my resume and the thought that I am larger than life is only intensified with this soundtrack. Thank you so much
This is really excellent. Truly. This particular startup sound lent itself so well to your music. And big props for using the Space Cadet Pinball sounds at the start.
Virtualizing older Windows on Linux is definitely the way to go if you want to relive older Windows and get used to Linux at the same time if you really don't want to mess with modern Windows I highly suggest putting it in full screen mode during a VM to make it feel like you're using it in the modern age I really don't see the difference awesome childhood growing up and amazing ambient I feel very well relaxed and stress free now :)
This is one of my new go-to's to listen to while coding! Reminds me in some ways of the "9 Beet Stretch" project from about 20 years ago. Can't wait for the WinXP track to drop!
Thanks for this! These videos have been the perfect companion for working night shift. The 95 retro one I keep going back too, but I love these other ones too!
Speaking as someone who used to host ambient/electronica music shows on community radio KRCL, KSER, and KSVR respectively, these are delightfully clever! Don't really need the graphics to be honest, but that's because I am from the old days of "wallpaper" ambient LPs and cassettes.

It's amazing ❤
The visuals were far from distracting, the complete opposite. You created a feast for both the ears and eyes.

I thought I was the only one! This is exactly what I do too and it makes me think of days gone by.
Same here!
Same here!
HOLY MOLY THE SPACE PINBALL GAME AT 1:25. PERMANENTLY ETCHED INTO MY BRAIN. AMAZING
Same, I just stopped what I was doing and thought, "No way..."
That there is the only reason I am commenting.
Thanks for saying it.

😢
My god that ending.....CAN'T WAIT
I know where this is going and I'm so excited!
Hope you can make XP Ambient music! ❤❤❤
Requesting Playstation 1 (and later PS2) bootup sound versions of these. I think they would be sublimely chill.
totally agree
They are being needed
Yes, yes, and yes.
Ps3 too, its quite chill
Win XP was the trusted workhorse for over a decade, even past its successor. It should never have been replaced. This track brings back memories of a crisp clean desktop with a study hutch housing the new digital hardware straight out of the box. It was suddenly making our lives easier from calculating fractions to adding friends to a new email group
And yet, Windows 7 was the last good OS, before they got really data hungry, it's a shame we couldn't just stay with Windows 7 and maintain it.
The comment above me is completely right, Windows 7 should have been the last Windows. For me, it was the last that made me dream.
What a cliffhanger! Retrovex knows what many people have been eagerly waiting for ^^
excellent transition to XP
Holy fricken cow dude
HOLY FRICKEN COW X2 !!
thank you so much! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

42:40 the most beautiful 3 minutes of my life
I'm so hyped for the Windows XP ambience if that actually becomes a thing.
This is giving me heavy 2000-2002 vibes, the sounds and the graphics of this video capture that era of computers really well. Man I still remember installing windows 2000 and geeking out over the Mouse curser having a shadow behind it, that was HQ stuff back then lol
Not just the shadow but, for the first time, the implementation of interpolation on the cursor movement made it feel hardware-accelerated almost. You'll notice the difference between the movement and frames of this OS vs Windows 9X.
Back when a small spinning 🌎 in the right corner of the screen was something exciting to look at
Love the ending.
THAT BLACK HOLE IS FIRE!!!!
Can't wait!
soon!! 💜
These have been GOLD! Super stoked.. they've been helping with my focus, flow, and enlightenment!
I'm so glad to hear that! I hope this one will too!

Yess! Love this black hole scene

That dead-on boosted up good & relaxin' vauge memories when i was playing Windows xP :)
This is amazing.
So hyped for Windows XP
The visuals are stunning! Such a lovely mixture of dreamy cosmic beauty and whimsy ❤
That's a jump in variety of locations, hah-- and, with that cliffhanger... it's time to eXPerience the 2000s again. You're doing amazing stuff. 🧡
Please make a PS2 Startup Sound Inspired Retro Ambient next please! 💜
Utterly beautiful. *sheds tear*
Can't wait for Win XP :)

Amazing Retrovex!! This did not disappoint and that cliffhanger was incredible! Windows XP here we come!
WHOAAA!! The ending was great!! Didn't expect to get an action sequence! Very well done.

I love videos filling up my ultrawide monitor!
This entire vid is just defining sounds of childhood 😀
Aww, this making me feeling some kind of a strange mix of nostalgia and sense of a miracle. You've done it perfect, thanks a lot!
This was the first PC I had when I was a kid. My mom was a freelance worker and worked from her home office (talk about being ahead of the curve) and we were the first family that had a PC this new. What a time to be a 9 year old.
the dedication and craft that went into creating this is beyond incredible. still trying to get my jaw off the floor
Bro this is so COOL! The animation and the story line of it and the music, just perfect :)
This is a time machine to my childhood when just doing my ordinary work. Love this so much
Everybody gangsta until Windows XP ambience arrives 😏😎
fr. I can't *wait* for the XP bombshell to drop. Legit one of the best OSs of all time.
XP was amazing!
Yeahh man this is amazing !!!
Man absolutely awesome job on this! The lonely computer’s journey through deep space! And the whole ending is fantastic. I’m thinking the computer was going through deep space, went through a portal and ended up at earth? And that’s how humanity got Windows 2000! I don’t know but I’m excited for the next one! 😁
The pinball sound effects make this absolutely perfect
Waiting on the XP one~
I like this video. I really like Windows 2000. Thank you for making this video.
It has been forever since I saw flying toasters! YAY!!
I love your work. Thank you for creating and sharing it.
Can't wait for the Windows XP version!! (dat cliffhanger though)
Really looking forward to ME and XP :P
Omg this is healing my inner child, it brings tears to my eyes. Such good feels. Nostalgic and healing. Thank you
What a beautiful piece!
The ambience of Windows - ultimate classic ❤🥰💯
So glad I found your channel! Awesome work!
Ahh it's soothing, it's nice it's nostalgic, it's...
28:30 ...that is one...very hairy planet.
Thank you so much. I am meditating everyday with your music and it is the best for diving deep into myself. ❤thank you
Always love hearing stuff from way back, I loved going to computer shows, and still miss them when they DON'T happen.
I live for these.
Windows X.P. was serene and high-quality :)
윈도우 XP. 조용하고 고품격이었어요 :)
You are creating my favorite ambient series! It's not only about the chill but also the introspection, nostalgia, meditation. Keep it up!
Everything about this is perfect. I didn't know this was what I needed in my life until now!
These are amazing!
Beautiful ambient sound + video 👍👍👍
This is spectacular! Great job on all the effects! Super excited to see more! If possible, could an 80's or 50's one be done? Thankyou!
what do you have in mind for the 50s?
Wow!!! Just when I thought these couldn't get any better, you pull out this masterpiece! Thank you so much kind sir 🙇
that's inspire, keep going, and thanks to you 🪟
P e r f e c t .
we shall see 👀
This is the soundtrack to my daily afternoon nap. Thank you for the easy sleep.
So keen for this season to be released !!!
LOVE the visuals along with the ambience - another fantastic work! The ending was actually a nice touch/surprise!

Amazing vision to bring this together. Thank you
Ahhh. Like whalesong for Gen Y. Another ethereal banger, Retro.
another great mix, these really help me cruise through work and put me in a better mental space, thank you

Thanks for this! These videos have been the perfect companion for working night shift. The 95 retro one I keep going back too, but I love these other ones too!
Thanks soo much for this, it´s quite relaxing for working a lot of time on front of pc
a new old one is out!
Love these windows themed ambience vids, please keep making them!
I saw what you did at the end there. I can't wait for XP,its the OS i grew up on
Me too lol
Yea, this'll be on loop all day today!
Thank you @Shorty1k !
Holy! Xp? Oh i can't wait once you get win7!!
You are making the best ambient scapes in existence!!!!!!
You're on fire. All of these have been fantastic.
This helped me get alot of work done today, Thank you for whipping these up!
These are amazing!! Please keep up this great work!!
You even got the Pinball start up sound in here :)
Our little PC is on its way to planet XP. What kind of sounds await once it makes a landing?
Ur stuff is da bomb dude. Keep it comin'.
I do be playing Factorio to this 👏👏
The pinball noises!
loving your channel.
Found your channel and these soundscapes and they made me smile! please do more!
Have you watched all of them already? :D
@@RetrovexAmbient I have and I enjoyed! It relaxes me
My favorite YT music channel does it again
Beautiful :')
