130 minutes No Man's Sky gameplay Music 

Its wild that everybody is here looking for different songs. It's crazy how much of an impact different songs have on different people.

sits down, and contemplates on life.

The feeling the first hours of this game gives you is like nothing else. I woke up on a radioactive planet, and felt like it was an actual race against time to get my ship running. I then followed the tutorial to a lush planet, and thought that both ship fuel and tritium were super rare, so taking off and going to another planet was really rare. Once I got to an ice planet, it felt like I was finally establishing routes between the solar system. When I entered the station for the first time, I was amazed at how big it was, not realizing it's the same model for every system. When the game had me make my first warp fuel, I thought I was stranded on a completely different solar system with no way of leaving. I'm not disappointed with what the game really is, but damn the time spent being clueless as to how rare certain resources are is priceless. Especially when you learn there's different materials on each planet. Really makes you feel like you have to stock up on that planet's resources before leaving and consuming your very rare tritium and launch fuel. This was also way before the nexus, so it felt like I was super alone.

Rest in paradise Artemis, wherever you are my friend

1:16:35 I used to listen to this while going through heartbreak and crippling loneliness back in 2016 when NMS came out. This track resembles the loneliness and the broken dreams I've been dealing with after going through an emotionally abusive relationship, exploring the universe of NMS desperately trying to find myself and happiness again. I had to deal with it all on my own in silence as I also had to let go of some "friends" who turned out to be wolves in sheep's clothing. Now, 7 years have passed. It was a long and hard journey, but I've moved on, gone through a lot of growth, found better friends, and also found a new love. I still come back to this track from time to time to reflect on my journey and reconnect with my former self, trying to console him when nobody else did. If you're still reading this, thank you for sticking around. I just wanted to leave a little personal memento.

Oh gosh, I searched for this part 22:07 so long. That piano sounds lovely.

Greatest comeback in gaming history

16 // 16 // 16

22:08 really reminds me of someone running away from home and into a massive forest/meadow

It's crazy, this music wouldn't even mean anything if it wasn't for this beautiful game and its beautiful planets. Forever exploring the Unknown of NMS :)

Sci-Fi in general is amazing. No Mans Sky, Star Wars, Dune and Xenosaga all captivate that magic of space exploration, and the NMS soundtrack helps with the magic!

1:40:00 always used to play on my old save with an extreme radioactive planet with minimal fauna, minimal NPC activity and salvage everywhere. RPing the idea of the planet being a remnant on a great war and it's now an abandoned wasteland, I walked around for days just exploring and scrapping.

I've never even heard of No Man's Sky until I saw the video on it by Internet Historian. It immediately got me interested in the game. I cannot believe I'm saying this unironically, but I've had this game for just ONE DAY, and I already love it as much as my #1 favorite: Minecraft. Yeah, it REALLY surpassed my expectations of dynamic freeroaming. Sean Murray, despite the crap you put up with, you are just as much of a genius as Notch. Thank you for this glorious game!

This might sound crazy, but I love to imagine the story and history of each planet I visit in NMS by searching for Knowledge Stones and writing down the words I learn from each, then stringing them together as if each word is a hidden message, to interpret the history of that planet and whatever great civilisation may have once been there

I'm glad I didn't get the game at first, missed all the problems. Im glad PS blog mentioned the game, brought it back into my eyes. I'm glad it was $30 at that time. It was a harsh start, radioactive planet with no idea what I was doing, and on survival. Went through the "tutorial" and got the Anomaly, God what a first sight that was. I played 50 WHOLE HOURS before getting back to the story. Establishing bases, slowly more technical and beautiful. Establishing language, trade, research. Exploring, cataloging, collecting, upgrading. Only around 57 hours in did I even realise that the Atlas existed. 78 hours in before feeding and taming creatures. Every single experience... different and yet, familiar. Sounds similar to the story... Even the music. If and when I could hear it, different yet familiar. This game embodies what companies used to do, used to make. Care, work, dedication. COD so quickly shoved infinite warfare under the rug, Battlefield constantly is a letdown, Ubisoft makes decent games but I can't seem to play them for more than 50-100 hours of playtime (other than R6, but thats more becuase I played 60% customs in my 300-400 hours played). Devs please for the love of God and all of us gamers, learn from this game. These devs stood by the game, still do. Do a little research and see things like farming crops was stupid, took so long, now its a good ammount of time. And best thing this game does? Shows you don't need microtransactions to have made a good game, lasting game.

It is crazy how in No Man's Sky people come and go. You can find the remains of where people built up a mighty base or empire in the past, taking in the moment and seeing how all of us are connected through the flow of time. One day their footprint is felt again by another onlooker, sensing and feeling for a glimmer of a moment what they may have witnessed and seen. Then you are off to the next planet. You either place something down, like a base or a sign to leave your own mark, or you find the remains of another long-lost traveler. Or you may find nothing at all. Regardless, these micro-moments are what contribute to the grand exploration of every interloper.

1:27:20 1:41:41 2:02:07 2:11:04 15:40

One of my favorite soundtracks of all time...it broken my heart in infinite pieces that melted with the universe. That's how I feel listening to this.....💔💔💔😭😭😭

Most underrated in-game music to date!

@1:41:43 is my favourite part, been playing that on repeat for hours

15:40 is my favorite. That slow electric guitar is just so.... it hits my core...

1:23:55 ive searched soooo long for this piece ive only heard it once in game, that was when i landed on a frozen planet on a tiny island in the middle of a huge ocean. the music made the atmosphere so dark but somber so i just paced around on that little snowy island, enjoying the soundtrack i even took a video of it so i wouldnt forget the music the soundtrack of this game is such a fleeting thing, you never know when or if you will hear a certain piece again and that makes it so precious somehow btw thats a gorgeous wallpaper! do you happen to sit on the moon of a ringed planet where the ring clips through the moon?^^ because it looks like some of the background is behind the ring

My first planet My first playthrough, I woke up on a freezing planet. The lack of actual human dialog in this game made you feel like you were alone. Isolated, but also with a sense of freedom when combined with the music every now and then. With the right equipment. You can go anywhere you want, find whatever planet you want, do whatever you want. The whole time this soundtrack will accompany you wherever you are.

This music is weird... Happy, serene, scary, creepy, uplifting, downputting... Just straight up uncanny but fits game best. It also oddly soothes my mind to absolute calmness and focus, idk why but it does. Love it ❤

1:27:23 That's what I've been looking for, it's perfect to reflect on the nature of the simulation

Such a beautiful game, great story and endless exploration. Great community, plenty of activities to do with friends. I'd call this game a jewel in a crown. I can picture myself laying down in that grass at night and gazing at the stars.

It's difficult to comprehend that this music is procedurally generated yet so beautiful and awe-inspiring.

1:03:50 I love that Monolith mix

1:41:41 is the part I just found on my game and have been looking for, thanks!

I love that music. It calms down and creates a sense of loneliness, makes you feel like a small point, against the background of the ogre universe

30:53 That was my fauvorite song.I've heard it the first time i played no man's sky and it was...awesome it remembering to me to crystal cave :0

Thank you for doing those music videos! I love the OST of No Man's Sky but only a small portion of it was ever released. There were so many moments where I wanted to listen to some of its background music but couldn't, until now.

I arrived on weird exotic planet Where everywhere there is a giant tripod looking organisms but with sphere head and the environment making an eerie sounds

1:23:55 you awake to find yourself in your starship, half buried in the icy surface of a planet you dont remember. in fact, you cant remember anything about where you were before now. you open the cockpit and are immediately assaulted by the horrific chill of temperatures so cold they could kill in minutes. your exosuit reacts to this and starts actively heating you, and as the gentle whirr of your suit climate control system works, you look around. all you see is desolate icy landscape, fortunately your multitool still works, but it is heavily damaged and the beam is the only fully functional piece of technology. your starship is heavily damaged, it seems to have crashed into the surface and now the front panel and one of the engines are in need of repair. for now, it seems your only refuge is to look for repair supplies and get your starship back to working order. and as you make plans, you can feel your body get colder as your suit runs low on power. after enough tredging through knee deep snow and ice, you find plants and your visor detects that they are rich in sodium, the fuel your suit runs on. you frantically mine them up as you feel your hands going numb and your visor starts to ice up due to your failing environmental protection. your mining beam rapidly turns the plants into their base elements and you now have several small canisters of pure elemental sodium. you open up your fuel supply hatch in the chest of your suit and pry the old empty canister out, for a brief second, you feel the energy from your suit cut out entirely, and you feel the true cold of the planet. just as you lose feeling in your legs and breathing starts to become painful you put the fresh canister into the slot and you feel your suit heat back up, giving you the hope necessary to keep working on your ship.

I SUBSCRIBED FOR THIS MOMENT AND NOW I HAVE DELIVERED

Yes! Thank you for uploading all the song variants that were not listed in the official soundtrack. It seems like all of these songs are based off of one’s from the main 65dos OST, but these are like different versions or variants. So happy to have found these. Thanks! :)

waitin' for the next volume to come out. This music has helped me going through the worst moments of my life and I would love to hear new songs from this series. Thank you mate.

1:42:48 is such an incredible track and then when it gets upbeat during a fight.. icing on the cake 🙌

It really is awesome how well this soundtrack captures the feeling of a simulated universe.

only just getting back into the game now after a few years away, i remember listening to this amazing mix and appreciate that its still up :)

FInaly found it. "Freedom". Probably the most touching track from this whole game. Each time I listen to it, it makes me feel terriblely nostalgic. It litteraly gives me chills with its drops during the firsts 5 minutes of it. Can't wait for it to be officialy released. Thank you man, for being the only one having uploaded it on YT.

50:40 is beautiful

dude I was just chillin, drawing space snakes, then at 34:53 I heard the beat pick up or whatever and just absolutely catjamed

I remember being here when Iron and Thamiun and Heridium still existed Those were the days, my old base, my first base on a frozen planet. Truly an atmosphere that'll be hard to forget and one I'll appreciate for a long time. I doubt any other game could replicate that.

I'm getting tired of clicking the restart button

1:50:30 ive been looking for a version of this with less riffs (except for that one 5 guitar note sequence that plays occasionally) and drums, just xylophone, but this version slaps too

Started playing this game at long last. Wanted to since release, but could never afford it or have a PC powerful enough. Now that I do, I can't put it down. I love roaming the universe, building bases, fighting pirates and smuggling contraband. This game feels so damn good to play and the music is a damn masterpiece

A friend of mine bought me No Man’s Sky for Steam and I was IMMEDIATELY Hooked. I would play it for HOURS on my PC and then I bought it on PS4 and now I play it almost everyday and I love the atmosphere of it SOOOO much. I just love exploring the Universe of this game. But my only weakness in this game is Aggressive Sentinel Planets, I HATE those planets.

It still blows my mind that this game has such an amazing soundtrack AND it's procedural! So, especially for combat, you always get a unique sound generated in the moment

65 Days of Static is complete and utter zen music. Looking forward to their next CD release which may coincide with the NMS Beyond update dropping.

Best soundtrack to any game... ever.

28:55 I get this piano bit almost every time I boot up the game. My home base is on a snow planet, beautiful sunrises btw. My base is up top a mountain overlooking another base below built by a friend. We played through a LFC on the discord, had a few fun play sessions, only person I’d even played with in multiplayer. But now he doesn’t play anymore. And I see those two ship landing pads down below me, only one of them ever being used. Crazy stuff this game.

Nice friend! Thank you :) Great cover image

you're an outsider, you don't belong, you're just passing through. your not really special , you're small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. there might be someone else out there but who knows... you may never find them, you're just passing through, a no-man: alone in public

I've been looking for that soundscape at 1:49:41 for ages Thanks

That segment from 20-30 minutes is so beautiful. Gives me an indescribable feeling that I don't feel anywhere else. And the next bit has such a different vibe, it feels very mysterious but adventurous. The whole soundtrack is beautiful, I wish they released these officially.

1:16:48 So calm. 1:24:09 Track I hear most ingame 1:41:43 Milestone

45:50 - Where have you been when this played? :0 I love it

I had no idea you did it again oh god finally

15:40 This song played for me for the first time on a paradise planet, this soundtrack goes so well with the calm of this type of planet.

This game and it’s accompanying (unique for every play through) soundtrack completely and I mean COMPLETELY changed my idea on what a video game is and can be. The first play through of this game, more so the first few hours, is absolutely magical and if I could feel that one ,more time I could die that day and still be happy.

2:02:04 this variation of supermoon has got to be one of the most beautiful sounds out there

1:41:41 This...this is special ;) Edit: Listening to this again has brought back so many memories, boundless nostalgia i guess you could call what this is bringing back. There i was, 2019, setting up my base on this temperate world with a ring around it, right in front of a lake. Some time later an update changed the entire system and somehow a nearby world turned out to be better than the one i was on, it was a paradise world, so i moved there and there my original base remains to this day. Green grass and blue water all the way to the horizon, it's still one of the best worlds, no, systems I've ever found, for a system to have 2 Earth like planets and so much history is just something else. Even now as i explore the 10th Galaxy, the so called paradise galaxy, nothing will ever be more precious than that one system, hidden away some 700 thousand light years from the core in the Euclid galaxy...

Nice picture! (and nice music of course)

13:20 YES

I don’t know what genre of music this game uses and I call it space music for that reason. It’s absolutely beautiful. The piano mixed with techno-sounding synths makes it truly emulate what I would imagine the vacuum of space would sound like. Edit: I love how every timestamp here leads to a part I remember loving. This music truly is special.

The menu ambience will always hit different, booting into the game with your next goal you're working towards in mind while one of them just plays is really something

Вот та самая игра, которая была в мыслях во время детства. Что называется: "Эх вот бы так, чтобы можно было летать на разные планеты и путешествовать по ним, свои космонавтом". Это, как SPORE на этапе космос, только в разы лучше.

I got my students to creative right to this. The pitch was: Imagine you have gone back in time to thr time when the dinosaurs were in their final days, you start to see many, many meteorites, a change is coming... You realise your ship has made a one way trip. Your final message will be your legacy. I had some absolutely incredible stories from this. I had tjis soundtrack playing.

*1.1K Likes and 8 Dislikes* Now THAT, is what I like to see. True love for this masterpiece.

The audio is so relaxing!

This is the sort of stuff that is sorely missed in the soundtrack from 65daysofstatic.

I wish we could get a part four... These videos really mean a lot to us.

No man's sky is my most favourite game i just wish this beautiful game was on Nintendo switch and was more popular. Its literally a very relaxing and yet really enjoyable game I'm glad I got it. I literally spend 18+ hours on it every day. It's so much fun. 😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😇😇😇

i started playing the other day and i love space a lot and this game just perfects it especially when i go in vr. going to space is my dream even if its a little suborbital flight.

A short note for everyone: the music in the game is procedurally generated by the game algorithm, so it's always different. Depending on your game activity the music changes as well. The algorithm uses sounds from a library of preset sounds and mashes them together to create a live soundtrack. This is not the official game soundtrack made by 65daysofstatic called No Man's Sky: Music For An Infinite Universe.

no man's sky has the best music in the world

Next go to exotic planet music or sounds from there.

“Hey you’re finally awake, you where repairing your Starship right?”

Ok, so it's now day 6 of me playing NMS, and I already have almost 24 hours worth of gameplay in. Somewhere in the Euclid Galaxy, I am currently in a system called "Imiami IX" on a paradise planet called "Cloddock Adano". I've made myself a... well, decent enough outpost, but I've made it my primary task to make as much units of money as possible, and the main way of making boatloads of money will be digging up old tech data. Sooner or later, if I just continue to grind, I'll have myself an S-class starship in no time!

One thing NMS does great, is provide background music for real-time KSP gameplay.

The soundtrack for No Man's Sky is written by a four person band from Shefffield, England, known as 65daysofstatic. Formed in 2001, 65daysofstatic are a post-rock band, composed of instrumentalists Paul Wolinski, Joe Shrewsbury, Rob Jones and Simon Wright.

since I played my first video game (Crimson Skies) I was always flying straight towards the clouds because I wanted to get to space. Every game where you could fly I would go up until I couldn't, never making it much higher then the clouds. But I wouldn't stop trying. Until this game came along and allowed me to go so far beyond what I even knew possible and it blew me away. Since then I've gotten a few friends to get it as well and it's probably some of the most fun I've had in a video game. It scratches an itch that no other game has or probably ever will and I thank the Developers at Hello Games for all they've done.

quick correction: while 65daysofstatic did have a lot of involvement in the soundtrack they weren't the only artist involved. Paul Weir did quite a lot of the soundtrack as well.

1:23:55 My favotite song, still don't know the name of the song

I haven't seen it anywhere among the comments. I hope you all know that this music is made by 65daysofstatic, a post-rock, math-rock band from the UK. And more precisely, it's algorithm-generated music, so they basically set up the baselines and the computer generates music, just as the game generates worlds.

idk why, but the music around the 23 minute mark makes me feel...things, like, a combination of hope, nostalgia, and wonder.

No Mans Sky Forever ♥️🚀

thank you, very interesting music and beautiful

I remember when I first made my character. It was after the developers got their stuff together and made a bunch of updates. Still playing to this day. I was spawned on a frozen planet, constantly freezing. Within my first hour, I was already hit with a blizzard. I remember panicking because I had yet to know how to build a shelter or had the terrain manipulator. Good times.

The closest thing to recreational space exploration we have, First time I played this game was in virtual reality, I couldn't stop for days (unhealthy I know) but so worth it, such a surreal feeling when you get your starship built and take off, rip to my savefile lost in time.

Life is but a fleeting dream

This game needs to blow up again

Beautiful

Love it!!

1:50:05 thanks I’ve been searching 4 that part! My favorite part!

_Trans4mers84561 sits down to contemplate life_

1:23:52 is really good

15:40 FINALLY!!! FINALLY I've found my favourite track from the game! Thank you so f*cking much!

New hobby: just going through the comments, klicking on the timestamps and getting goosebumps
