Every so often Iāll be going back through classic video game music and a game will sound completely different than I remembered. SimCity 2000 is one of those games.
Listen to the music in this clipāitāsā¦ really weird! The melodies are kind of haunting, odd dissonant notes up against lonely, floating basslinesā¦ looping over and overā¦ itās amazing how the melodies came back to me as I listened, partly because they had faded from memory and partly because theyāre so strange and non-hummable.
Side note: I had also forgotten how the ātelephone poleā sound effect is basically a guy going, āZzt.ā Ha!
Noted TV and video game composer Chris Tilton will be doing the music for the new SimCity, and everything Iāve heard is much more straight ahead than the weirdness that these games used to get away with.
