Celeste A-side soundtrack: Wow, so peaceful/triumphant! Lena did a great job setting an atmosphere Celeste B-side soundtrack: Now it's time to get *Funky*
I love how each B side captures a COMPLETELY different mood and they are all so divergent, not just from their respective A sides but from each other. Love the quick dub steppy type beats of the 1st, the dark ominous bell/dulcimer gongs of the 2nd, the absolute SLAPS of the 3rd, the warm electrotrance embrace of the 4th, the bittersweet jazz of the 5th, the feral wild 6th, the austere, rhythmic discipline of the 7th.
1b - 1:40 Forsaken city (Sever the Skyline Mix) 2b - 4:10 Old Site (Black Moonrise Mix) 3b - 7:34 Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix) 4b - 11:20 Golden Ridge (Golden Feather Mix) 5b - 16:14 Mirror Temple (Mirror Magic Mix) 6b - 20:09 Reflection (Center of the Earth Mix) 7b - 23:04 Summit (No More Running Mix) 8b - 31:41 The Core (Say Goodbye Mix) 35:28 Area 1 Demo (Bonus Track) (this one is not used in the game) I love this game, i've got 201 strawberries and the only one left is golden on 8b
Golden Ridge feels sooo good to listen to. It gives me like this feeling of staring out a car window as a kid, watching the clouds fly by and making shapes with them. Like looking into the memories of the past. Only for the drums (anxiety) to kick in. but yet... I still feel happy with my past. Its such a good song for the point in the game that its remixing.
My personal most memorable ones were Mirror temple and Celestial Resort probably because they are complete opposites in a way. And Golden ridge but thats more about the fact how long it took me there. Like your reaction, keep it going. I kind of wish of reaction to Rain world ost but Mario games Ost would be cool.
2 mello's work on Mirror Temple B-Side is phenomenal, its my fav track from the game. I wonder if you could check out his album called 'Memories of Tokyo-to'. It's a tribute to the classic game series Jet Set Radio which had a very funky hiphop soundtrack. Love your videos, keep them coming!
Your comments on the Golden Ridge remix are so legit. It's the most lowkey track of the B-sides but it's somehow my favorite. 😙👌 And fun fact, that bonus track at the end was the first provisional piece of music to go with Celeste's first level during testing (which would later be replaced by First Steps)
4B is my favourite in the entire game, and that is saying something. I like that it stands alone as completely unlike anything else in the game. You could see from chat that it's a 50 50 split - no one dislikes it but it's either people's top or bottom track. It has such a warm, nostalgic and soothing feel - reminds me of playing SNES late at night when I was young just discovering new worlds. So beautiful. I'm a doctor and whenever I have a rude or frustrating patient encounter I play 4B on youtube and it just soothes my whole vibe before I go see my next patient
The middle of the Celestial Resort mix immediately made me feel like I was playing FZero. I have all the super colorful limited edition Lena Raine Celeste vinyl and it's glorious
I'd like to recommend a few soundtracks! I saw someone recommend Chicory, which is a personal favorite of mine, same composer as Celeste, much more acoustic. Then there's Outer Wilds, which is super atmospheric, as it's for a game about space exploration, very satisfying layering of instruments in a number of the songs. Outer Wilds has a DLC called Echoes of the Eye with its own soundtrack too. And then finally, Friday night Funkin is super interesting as it bounces from genre to genre like a pinball machine, it's a rhythm game where you rap/sing battle a bunch of different people that each have their own sound.
@@MusicTheoryforGamers I can't wait! Though I would heavily recommend not listening to the Outer Wilds OST if you plan on playing it on stream, as it contains a lot of spoilers for the game.
Trine (1 and 2) and Ori and the Blind Forest also have amazing soundtracks and so far no music teacher has reacted to them, so I'd suggest those as well. ^^
There is still a little bit of the Celeste ost that you haven't heard yet which is the dlc music. Try to search for chapter 9 ost if you are planning to listen more from Celeste
Wow, I was watching your first reaction to the Celeste OST as you were streaming this video apparently. Glad I discovered your channel, you gave some great insights into how the music is used and made me realize the correlations that were being made with the characters and music in the game lol. Didn't see anyone recommend the Doom,The Last of Us, Terraria, Fez, Into the Breach, Hyper Light Drifter or Oxenfree soundtracks much to my surprise so I will (even though some people probably did).
hard agree! risk of rain 1's amazing songs and motifs and how they get reincarnated in risk of rain 2 is amazing, especially when you see how Chris Christodoulou's style evolved over the years
I must recommend to listen to the soundtracks of Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Gareth Coker's ability to tell a story and evoke emotion through music is just insane
He put it on the list of upcoming reactions, but there are many soundtracks coming before Ori. I'm really excited for that reaction though, both the game and the soundtrack are absolute masterpieces
I know this one may be a more niche one, but the Ultrakill soundtrack has all bangers. They, similar to toby fox's soundtrack, were made by the creator themselves, hakita! I would highly recommend it.
Absolutely LOVED your reaction to the celestial resort B side mix!! I love really energetic music so it was definitely my favorite B side track! Keep up the great work!
Another really fun reaction stream! Couldn’t be there live today, but I’m always still happy to see them after as VODs. Hope to see you play Celeste one day - one of my favorite games of all time. Still gotta 100% it one day - it’s definitely tough.
heck yeah Celeste, love it man. Might I recommend some Mario games to react to? I would suggest both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World. The first of which uses a live orchestra and the later soundtrack centers on jazz with a big band feel. Love your reactions to all of these amazing soundtracks man keep it up.
@@MusicTheoryforGamers I'd defo also recommend the mario kart 8 deluxe OST, was also recorded via life orchestra and I am a huge fan of its soundtrack and everything it has to offer!
I wanna recommend the Rabi-Ribi OST. An underrated game with an amazing OST that even received a whole official orchestral arrangement that, iirc, got completely implemented in the game via DLC.
An amazing OST with not enough recognition is the Starbound OST! If you do ever end up checking it out, though, you'll have to go digging a bit. I can link a playlist with the most accurate soundtrack, since the only other one (I think) is the steam one, and that costs $0.99 plus is missing certain tracks
I love watching you. watching you dissect each piece is great! since it's hard for me to get to the livestreams and i can't put them in chat, so I'll put some soundtracks that i would like you to listen to here! Chrono Trigger from Snes Super Mario Galaxy 1 or 2 Hades Team Fortress 2 Skullgirls 2nd Encore
gotta highly recommend you listen to the OneShot ost the game is underrated but the soundtracks can be beautiful (they aren't on Spotify but they can be found on youtube!) its kinda like teh 4th wall breaking aspect of undertale at full force but the music is beautiful sad and sometimes creepy its great
I would recommend Sonic, but there's so many games with great music I wouldn't know where to start! It would probably have to be Unleashed, Colors, or Lost World
Love your reaction and analysis of these soundtracks, man! Also, since I haven't seen you react to it yet, I'd almost insist that you have to listen to the Hades soundtrack. I have a feeling you'll love it!
He seems like such a genuinely kind person. He doesn't just give away that kindness, hes a boundary setter. I think people like that are the kindest of all, because boundary within and without. And of course, just super duper talented. The man eats shits and breathes music.
So, the artist that remixed "Reflection", Jukio Kallio, is one I knew beforehand because of another game OST he made that I really like: Nuclear Throne Just another note to scribble onto the list, for whenever you feel like tackling a bit of Post-Apocalyptic-Western-Style! And of course, I take the opportunity to say, I've been really enjoying these Lives: found you thanks to NieR: Automata (also, yes, DO take a listen to the other works from Okabe like everyone's tellng you, there's so much good stuff) and I'm catching up with all the other OST I love! Keep up this amazing work!
I can’t wait for farewell and I’d like to make some suggestions. I don’t know if you have done these already, but Subnautica has some really immersive, and sometimes even scary music. And maybe you could react to some old Pokémon game music such as diamond/pearl, that game personally has my favourite music in the series.
4B is my favourite piece in the entire game. Not sure why as it sounds like nothing else. It just is. It's so soothing and warm but in an old school SNES type way.
Have to recommend the Shovel Knight, Super Meat Boy, and Outer Wilds OSTs. All phenomenal in their own ways and would love to hear your takes on any of them!
I glad I got to listen to this, I tried the B sides in the game but got frustrated because of how hard they were, so I only ever heard the first song on the B sides.
Howdy there, discovered your channel recently and immediately fell in love with your content! It's a bit of a wild shot, as it is not.. quite.. video game music, but actually yes, I think you could find interesting tracks from the (many) Homestuck albums. In case you do not know, Homestuck is a webcomic composed of mspaint art, lots of dialogues, videos, video game sections... And lots of music. Some like 'Time on my side', 'cascade', 'Crystalmethequins', 'Honestuck', or yet again... 'Megalovania'. Indeed, Toby Fox has worked on many music's for that web comic (him and Homestuck's author are buddies), and this would be the second version of Megalovania (the third being the one we know from undertale.) I think there's lot to find there if you are interested, many artists and musics of all kinds, from electronic, chiptune, wave, to rock and metal, classic and some weirder ones like palindromic music.
There’s a little more Celeste music after Farewell if you want to do Madeline’s Grab Bag. (I’m not sure if it’s available anywhere other than bandcamp)
The part of the bum baba you recognize from Super Mario bros is definitely from Super Mario World on the SNES, it's a commonly used instrumental, esp the the stage finishing music once you cross the end gate before the screen winks out.
I think you should check out Terraria OST, it is really good. Also I can reccomend Terraria Calamity Mod OST, one of the best OST's, even though it isn't a game on it's own.
I recommend checking out the Ultrakill ost, all of it is really good and all but 2 songs are made by the lead developer of the game. A lot of the songs also lead into each other which I find cool
Sever the Skyline, Good Karma and Mirror Magic are easily my favorites. Love seeing your reactions! I strongly recommend the Sonic Mania ost, bangers all around!
This music makes it so much easier to keep going after (tens of) thousands of fair deaths across the game. The last track in here is the original track Lena proposed for the first chapter. It got replaced by First Steps.
A bit of a smaller pick, but I recommend the soundtrack of Everhood, which is one of the most unique I’ve ever heard (and watch out for gnomes if you do get around to listening to it)
I strongly recommend listening to the Wandersong OST. I think the game is a hidden gem that not many people know about, which is unfortunate because it's my favorite game alongside Celeste! I think you'll really like the music from Wandersong and I'd like to see what you think of it!
it's not an OST, but you should definitely check out some work by Japanese producer Camellia, like his undertale/deltarune remixes or albums like "Tera I/0" or "U.U.F.O." It's really great fast music, often around 260 bpm with genres like Speedcore or Metal, so not really for everyone, but it's just a piece of art
Ayo I got a nice recommendation, you should check out the Binding of Isaacs soundtracks. They are really good and a lot of the boss songs feature guitar
May I request that you listen to the Terraria Calamity Mod Soundtrack? The whole thing was done by DM Dokuro, and it's the single greatest soundtrack I have ever heard. Especially since it was done almost entirely by one person. I would greatly appreciate it.
@@basicallytoxic ikr, i mean, its such a Peaceful song and melody but- Jesus Fcking Christ those moving floating platforms, i rlly hate them so much xD In a-side is all fun but u get to the b-side and... Hehe funny windy goes ffffff
