Altitude Music

[Vi*]

Gonna get this all in one place, especially due to recent events.

The title music currently in the game:

Original ideas, including heavenly altitude choir and jazz:

And the recent event previously mentioned, the new Explodet theme:

dear lamster,
choir ftw.
sincerely,

[DiogenesDog]

listening to the choir one again has made me lose all respect for lamster for picking the crappy current one instead of that.

[Triped]

I need to get back to composing music. Inspiring!

Maybe Lam could give us the option of which version plays over the opening. It'd only add one extra button in the Sounds Option menu.

I just listened to the Explo theme music and I may have just wet the bed for the first time in several weeks.

The other option would be to try and do something in-between, that begins with the serious flavor of the current one, but instead of having the instrumental altitude theme with saxophone, it would have the Altitude Choir.

As hesitant as I am to praise anything you do, Vi, I'm forced to admit that the choir version is pretty awesome. You should go for a Ride of the Valkyries version in the same light:

Alti-tuuuoo-de, Alti-tuuuooo-de, Alti-tuuoo-de, Altitude.
Alti-tuuuoo-de, Alti-tuuuooo-de, Alti-tuuoo-de, Altitude.

Then again, I'm not musically inclined.

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I am against any choirs that sing the word "altitude" over and over again. Also among the jazz sections I really prefer the current version, which is absolutely hilarious. The music could definitely use more improvements, but I will have to think longer before I can come up with any good ideas.

You are crazy.


Just to throw out more ideas so that we can make everyone happy, here's a real simple mash-up of the choral and current theme. Like, it's literal cut and paste overlay, so it's a bit rough at parts, but can help you less musically-inclined people get an idea of what I mean by compromise. I also cut the intro because I decided it sounds too bad with my fake instruments.

Sounds really good despite being a simple cut and paste. I think this captures both the 'serious' and 'goofy fun' side of Altitude quite well. Props, Vi.

hahahhahahahahahhahahahahaha

oh my god... can we implement this new music now?

[Vi*]

Thanks, Tom and Gumby! I think it's pretty sweet myself, and agree that it should be implemented straightaway.

The rest of you, go listen.

I disagree (No offence, it is good, I just don't think it should be implemented.)

[Johnny_Vegas]

Just like to mention that I was thinking yesterday that Altitude has really well done music.

[Gakoranus]

The music is better than most games, but it does get a bit tiring during an Altitude Marathon

The explodet one is my fav, The smooth base in the background is great.
