Enhanced Replications - "Klendathu Drop" 

WE GET YOU SIR!

WE GET YOU SIR!

WE GET YOU SIRE!

WE GET YOU SIR!

WE GET YOU SIR!

“I’m just trying to kill some bugs, sir!”* You ruined it

Turns out the bugs did not, in fact, like that.

We would like to know more about these divisive thoughts you've been having, Citizen.

That stuff's all great ... after the Mobile Infantry cracks the planet and leaves it safe for the Army to land and set up their little camps. ;)

When you drop on Klendathu but you actually have the power armor (complete with onboard flamethrowers and nuclear grenade launchers) the mobile infantry had in the BOOK.

@@Guy-Mann if they ever do the book justice on film we'd all have a nerdgasm

Power armor!

It is the best. But What Makes You Think You're Good Enough To Listen To IT ?! 😉

@@martinfiedler4317 Everybody moshs, nobody quits. If you don't mosh I'll shoot you myself. Do you get me? 🤘

It's because it's not only faithful to it at its core (no dance/trance/terrible EDM remixes that anyone can make with a copy of FLStudio and high-school music knowledge), but it adds onto it in a way that doesn't detract from the original.

It's afraid

As a Bug myself I can guarantee you we also rock out to this masterpiece despite the difference between us as species!

@@buggyboy2849 Your not a good bug, but a nice bug... Hey! You know what a good bug is?

@@kriegertechpriest7011 A dead bug!

Frankly, I find the idea of a brain bug ridiculous!

I don’t really know what the procedure is for that if it’s already happened. But I’m sure enough noise would make a curious party look.

Actually there is one soundtrack in Terran Command where you can hear a familiar parts from Klendathu drop. But game have it's own soundtrack. Still I'm pretty sure there's some modder prepared to release full movie soundtrack to the game. Modders communities are awesome last years and I feel it would be very popular universe for some time.. I'm so damn hyped for that game and I really appreciate they stay in satyre style of campaign and game looks Lore friendly which is absolutely great. Absurd propaganda is TOP part of whole Starship Troopers Universe.. That's why I love it so much.. it describes us.. how we act and how we think.. When there's no more wars against humans itself, human kind start searching for new enemies.. Sad true.. and society just follow the rule.. doesn't matter if there's a hundreds of thousands dead people during process, world keep spinning.. 😂

Well it isn't. Such a shame.

Yeah and I also wish there was more interspecies fighting like the bugs here with the Zerg

And if it was ... all I can say is LOCK AND LOAD !

The makers have said themself that in reality SST is a satire about " militarism". More like the ideology that was in Japan before ww2. And a mix of " pop culture". Society in the book was made for hyperstability and the sence that use of brutal force is the essence of all government, but not all governments was stabil/organised. There is also the sence that humans at our core is not a organised and harmonic creature, but that we in our core are narcissistic and antisocial and that order is the main goal of government. In the films it`s more about how humans just " react" and that the leaders try to manipulate the masses with highly emotional propaganda, but in reality it often dont work and that it`s impossible to know what humans are going to do. We also get the sence that the more intelligent leaders are less into collectivism and that they always have a agenda of their own.

@@Ikaros23 Finally someone- I hate when people say its satire of fascism. the only thing fascist-like on that movie are the officers uniforms, thats it. It was satire on militarism not fascism.

@@CliffuckingBooth The uniforms are actually more " Nazi" than facist. It`s the same the SS used. The Terran society in SST is not racist and is gender/sexuality nautral. This film and book is actually making a point that a society of multiculture/race/gender/sexuality also can be millitaristic/autocratic. But it was never 100% facist. The government made sure that all people could join in and be a citisen, and that even if you where handycaped or blind, even stupid they would find som kind of work you so you could be a citisen. The whole point was that if people did not sacrifise for the government they where not truly accountable and could in a case of civil unrest turn to panic and then anarchy. The whole ideology was that man was in itself a animal that needed to be disciplined and forced to be civil, or we would just turn to narcissism/nihilism/anarchism/extremism/oligarchism. It`s important to see that ALL nazis are facist by nature. But not all facists are nazis. That is belivers in racial supremasy and the exterminasjon of xeno races. All nazis and facists are by nature millitaristic. But millitarism is not the same as facism or nazism. Millitarism is just the belif that order and the use of force is the nature of government. And that the millitary is the most important sector of government for the creation of order. The real ideology in SST is that of the millitary thinker Carl Von Clausewitz, and the filosofi of " Total war". That is the subjugasjon of the government and the economy under the millitary and the purpose of war, and preparasjon of war.

@@Ikaros23 lol I just wanted to say that I agree that its not satire of fascism but mild satire of militarism. You dont have to write an essay man :D

@@CliffuckingBooth " Do you like to know more?"

or in terran command

That line is so unintentionally funnier the second time you watch the movie though haha

We get you, sir!

We get you sir!!!

We get you, sir!!

We get you, Sir!

I sincerely appreciate that. A lot of heart and soul went into this and it had to be a hybrid of the original and what I brought to it as well, it was a balance I constantly checked.

@@enhancedreplications4243 can feel the heart and soul you put into it and your passion shines through very well made.

Thank you and that means a lot. One of the things that drove this project was that a lot of people had tried to do this with cues like this one or with Terminator etc...I was...dissatisfied...with pretty much all of them. It was a monster itch that I finally got to scratch.

@@enhancedreplications4243 You kill bugs good.

I'm really glad people are getting to hear it. It was a considerable task to pull this one off.

RIP AND TEAR, UNTIL IT IS DONE

YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?!

@@enhancedreplications4243 This is absolutely fucking awesome!

its a real shame the movie is barely anything like the book, pretty much just steals the absolute basics of, bugs, war, and character names

Bayern! Des samma mia!)

The question is do you have a neon green see thru illuminated electric violin that mysteriously is fully amplified enough to be heard in the entire camp with no amp in sight?

@@enhancedreplications4243 that always confused me when I watched the film when I was little

I won’t disagree. The intention was never anything but the absolute most insane thing possible. Considering what else was out there at the time I felt like it was a fairly vacant spot. We got lucky with even the views we have on this one, I think largely due to Briget’s engagement with people and the algorithm etc. It’s just a shame because there’s never any less work or soul put into one piece versus another. But I’m beyond grateful it’s still being listened to. -Jeremy

@@enhancedreplications4243 oh 1000% there is definitely a lot of work and soul put into this piece. I’ve heard multiple covers and I’m not knocking any of the other ones but this one gives me literal goose bumps and I’m so glad I could listen to this. It’s exactly what I wanted to hear and you all gave this song the justice it deserved. Definitely thrown this to top spot in gym playlist.

Yeah, I mean it’s kind of weird for me because I have listened to them since I made them and I still do on occasion. And normally I would make a joke that it’s like enjoying the smell of your own farts, but I didn’t compose the music and the music is fucking legendary, and I would love to hear it no matter how it was done. Klendathu seems to be really good for takeoff and landing on flights too haha

That’s quoted so many times here but the one thought I haven’t typed about that scene is like…right after he says that there’s that slight hesitant pause before he says “means more bugs for us to kill” and it’s like…are you yourself sure? Because it doesn’t seem like you’re totally convince. As it turned out he was incorrect hahahaha

Well to be honest we don’t really promote that much. It’s partly that it’s just a total labor of love for me but I’m pretty sure both of us are too busy to do it properly like we should. I can’t stand social media so I’m not the guy haha Plus we ran into an issue which I still don’t know if it got resolved concerning clearance for this so it couldn’t go to retail or streaming besides bandcamp. I am grateful you found it and glad you enjoyed it though.

It took time but 255k now views

I feel like there's a way you can do that through the actual mod files itself with a little know how

That’s rad that you say that. A lot of love went into making this.

@@enhancedreplications4243 You are welcome

I mean it’s a lot of views for me (Jeremy) but I suppose by modern standards it’s not much. It’s kinda wild it’s even gotten this much because it’s hardly pushed.

The next time this happens please please please take a screen recording of it with the audio. Would love to see that.

Might have been me cx

I never played that or knew it existed until this comment but that’s awesome.

@@enhancedreplications4243 check out the soundtrack, especially the "Harkonnen" stuff. Brain candy galore bud, your inspiration is gonna go nuts.

@@zalseon4746 Frank Klepacki would be proud!

I'd like to think it's pretty choice in that regard, I didn't really check out many if any of the others before we went ahead with this though. Also that's awesome that your avatar is the Hizaki ESP guitar.

@@enhancedreplications4243 I also think it is a very good choice. There are a lot of good rock/remixes of many great themes. Such as the work of the Japanese video game industry (Konami, Capcom, Sega) by the S.S.T. Band, Alpha-Lyla, and the Konami Kukeiha Club. Which is still strongly continued by Touhou and Doujin Metal, but in the Western media (movie series, games, etc.) this is not yet so common, so this is a great project, in the right direction, I think. Great that you recognized my avatar, you are the first one who ever noticed that. I met Hizaki 2-3 times at concerts where he signed his plectrum for me, a really nice guy and a fantastic guitar he plays, so I thought it would be a nice choice for my avatar. By the way, I would love to put your video on my second channel to promote it, with credits, link and so on: ru-vid.com/show-UCSvtMBid9t58SHnFjm64nrAvideos If you want, just tell me.

@@heavenlyfusionguitars9245 Oh yea totally recognized the guitar...i'm a HUGE Japanese market guitar freak. I'm not really sure also about using the video, you'd have to ask the label first. Waxsimile Productions.

@@enhancedreplications4243 I am mostly happy, when people do not think, it is a bass. I like exspecially collecting japanese fusion/ rock relases like that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x3JzFhklySM.html&t, do you collect japanese guitars? Thanks for the info with the label.

Well I’ll be...THE Roger Young

These pieces of have gotten consecutively more involved with each one. None of it is quick or easy and that’s why it’s so fulfilling to me. But I mean the amount uplifting words left on here like this comment, it’s really inspiring and makes it worth it.

@@enhancedreplications4243 do you have a way to donate money to support your up coming projects? **throws money at you** take my money damn it. hahaha

I guess the logical solution to that would be to have a Patreon? That’s something that you should hit up Waxsimile/Briget about because it should be through the label that we do it.

This movie becomes infinitely more quotable to me by the day and I’ve seen it probably at least 150 times haha -Jeremy

Malevelon Creek drop.

also dear god that album art! Brings an imaginary music video to life.

That’s always been the idea. The music is sacred and can’t be messed with. It is all about putting maybe a different spin on it or framing it differently but I don’t really think anyone wants to hear double time “metal versions”, when you have musical content that is this epic and expansive, you have to heed what’s there. It’s a really serious thing for one of these to be done. I kinda constantly work under the fear/curiosity of if it’ll be good enough for the composer to listen to. In the case of this one since he is no longer here it was even more pressure in a way.

@@enhancedreplications4243 It shows the level of professionalism and respect you have for the original content and your talent as well. It definitely picked up all the perfect cues of the original and made it so spiritually good. I tried watching your version of the T2 theme but since I am offshore at the moment it has been blocked cause it shows images of the film apparently. Is it possible for you to re-release it like this one, with no images so it can be heard? Also I would love to hear more work like this from epic scores you can enhance, they are pure sugary gold and I believe you could work mainline with the passion, talent and respect you have.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ANNR9GsRgMg.html here’s the auto generated upload of the T2 thing. I sincerely appreciate your words. It means a lot considering how much of my soul goes into making these. The project was originally Tim’s idea and he enabled me to dive into this fully and I owe him forever. There are other non-Tim mixed films I’ve done this for but only yearly for Halloween. That stuff is over on the RU-vid.com/JeremyKrullSS along with all my original work.

@@enhancedreplications4243 Thank you much, and I appreciate how you dedicate yourself to such work. As a graphic artist I can understand perfectly when you pour your soul into a project and that is what gives it its glow. Keep at it and share it with the world, someone is bound to notice and also appreciate your energy and love for the craft.

First of all thank you. Secondly I have no idea how, algorithmically, this keeps coming up and getting views. There are only two pieces of music on the channel here and somehow this one is literally actively climbing etc and the T2 one is just sitting. Because I think it’s blocked in a lot of territories because of the footage. But either way. People are missing out only hearing this one.

I’d imagine it’d be even cooler when deploying to dismantle a dictatorship though.

it would be a disgrace and an insult to this song. It is still a democracy, it is at most a military junta, nowhere near dictatorship. If people think of the Federation there as Fashist then their wrong and didnt understand at all, or have ANY CLUE about politics. Just a little something, rest you need to look up yourself : A dictator rules alone AND absolute. Even in the first movie we see that the "Sky Marshall" wich isnt the president btw. just so you know, does not RULE ABSOLUTE he still has his council with him that do influence the decision making, soooo no rule by himself anywhere. The only difference to other democracy's is that you need to be a citisen, wich i can totaly understand and think it would be the best way to progress our democracy's worldwide (as ALL the different ones fail atm. not only the US that let basicaly a Nazi rule their country for 4 years trying to further drive US people into uneducated status, NO! We in germany fail too atm. .... this now election was and still is pain fear and terror in one, whatever we get now, it will basicaly destroy many peoples normal day's and normal living). If serving the military 2 years, wich means getting yourself down to being a coackroach and climbing back up and EARN that respect from your supperiors, makes you a better and more inteligent human, then so be it. NO ONE tried this , so dont claim it wont work or make it worse! Komunism, Sozialism, Democracy .... they all failed at one point already, time for something new that COULD WORK. We cant make Roddenbery's vision come true yet, so lets take babysteps. Remember : If at all : The federation is not racist toward fellow humans! They BEAT that stuff, althou a common enemy in space was needed for this to happen. Oh and yes : Violence solved more problems than diplomacy ever did. That statement is true. UN or NATO (As the 2 big peace powers out there) did fail on NUMEROUS occasions (Dont make me start on the fails of soviet russia, russia and china pls... NATO still is the stronger and better alliance)

COURAGE DUTY HONOR hahaha

While that is an incredibly humbling thing to say and I appreciate it…I may have replicated it, but Basil wrote it and Tim made it sound like that. I’m just here to make it a lot heavier.

I actually tried it once on a particularly turbulent landing on a flight recently. I don’t normally listen to things I made in public like that but I didn’t compose it so I guess it’s half okay haha

The Mobile Infantry made me the man I am today.
