i still find it incredible how a NASA sponsored moon base simulator was programmed with such a robust text to speech program that is capable of being programmed with entire songs worth of tones and lyrics, even with instrumental aspects being substituted with acapella.

This is the sound of a defunct ship's AI singing to itself as it endlessly drifts through space in search of its long forgotten home

It's MY depressive episode and I get to choose the music

Born too late to explore the world, born too soon to explore the stars, born just in time to hear silly astronauts text to speach sing silly music for silly peoples...

I hope astronauts of the generations will make casual references to this. Randomly saying "John Madden", "aeiou", and "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" to themselves. If I were an astronaut, I'd do that.

I adore this so much. NASA made the most realistic moon astronaut game, people took apart the map's talking system, only for it to blow up using the voice synthesizer as a fucking vocaloid. what a time to be alive.

🎶We’re whalers on the moon We carry our harpoons But there aint no whales So we tell tall tales And sing our whaling tunes🎶

3:38 Sings about a deep and existential crisis 5:39 *Proceeds to sing Mario*

At least these astronauts have talents I don't like the other astronauts killing each other and betraying their friendship.

Moonbase Alpha has become.. oddly poetic. These songs carry such a unique feeling with the iconic text-to-speech. I'll never forget it.

John Madden.... 😔 This playlist is underrated. I love this.

"So how are the players doing" "Sir, t-there...singing"

WHY DOES WET HANDS ACTUALLY SOUND SO GOOOOD

How does a game i've never played, singing a song i've never heard, generate such nostalgia?

Goodbye moonbase alpha. I'll miss you, and your funny robot voice. But the content stream has slowed to drips, and I'm afraid you're too far gone. Goodbye, thanks for the memories of the decade you've been released.

I'm just sitting here imagining a line of spacemen singing these like a barbershop quartet

One of my regrets in life is not finding out about moonbase alpha soon enough

The tonal whiplash going from hello world to super mario bros 2 is unmatched

3:45 A beautiful, heartfelt melody of a robot contemplating life and sentience Immediately into 5:45, a super mario song

Can’t believe NASA used taxpayer money to sponsor such a banger of a game

LITTLE ASTRONAUT OUR BELOVED❤

It never occurred that the "my reaction to this information" meme rendition of Fallen down was from moonbase alpha so when the song came on at 18:14 it hit me like a truck

DECtalk (the TTS they used for Moonbase Alpha) is just a gift from god or whatever power that be.

That “Hello World” cover fits WAY too well

I remember seeing a meme ages ago showing a photoshopped picture of a ginormous speaker in the ground of a giant field asking “you could play only one song, what would it be?” Years later… I think I know now.

My cousin saw this and said "OH MY GOD AMONG US" His fate is sealed

Everytime I hear these songs, it's a reminder that the mars rover has a piezo speaker to sing itself happy birthday. It's both melancholic and a little uplifting to think of a future where all of humanity is gone, save for our marvellous machines that made it all possible, singing in chorus our relics of creativity forever, into a void that does not care, and never will.

This is why we need to revive the moon program... so a grown ass Zoomer, someday, can stand on the Moon, and post a Vine to the world of him singing about John Madden. Not because it is funny, but because it is dank, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.

Now i really want to hear that song at the beginning of wall-e "put on your sunday clothes theres lots of world out there!" In moonbase alpha voice. If anyone has the game and knows how to do all the pitches and things you should give it a shot

Send this out to space on an endless loop transmission. This should be our first contact

Going from Hello World to Mario Bros 2 is such a slap in the face for tone shift.

This album jumps from being goofy ass ahs to depressing funeral songs, i commend it for that.

I was surprised to find out that all these remixes were made by John Madden.

There's a certain feeling of no matter how obstuse the medium becomes. Or how limited is is. The Humanity in it will eventually shine through, creating pieces of expression

never played the game, experienced it's glory firsthand, but the memories gained from simply watching what others have done with it, what has been created using it, the humor brought on by it, moonbase alpha will never truly die. it may one day shut down forever but this...this, and every other moonbase alpha video, will live on forever.

The world ain't that cruel after listening to this❤️

ok, but why does Gary come home hit so hard ~~ like, I came here to listen to funny crystal johns, but know I am thinking about a sentient computer endlessly drifting through space like come on man!!

this is actually kinda surprisingly VERY listenable, like might listen again 100 times listenable

Never been so happy to see a playlist appear in my recommended

18:15 my reaction to this playlist

this playlist makes me happy

I swear, if I ever make a game or help make a game about space I'm hiding a moonbase alpha easter egg somewhere in it

I would adore a rendition of the minecraft soundtrack in this tts. Wet hands was just.. Amazing. That's the word to use.

None of these memes would have ever happened if NASA wanted the game to have voice chat. The Venn Diagram of people who are willing to spend hours transcribing a song into text to speech with correct tone, and people who are willing to sing acapella into a microphone is a perfect figure-eight. There is no overlap.

We need to give a BIG round of applause to both the people who figured out you could pitch the tts in Moonbase Alpha and the people who put together songs using the Moonbase Alpha tts

Very real tears were shed during this video. Some of these songs are tear jerkers for me and hearing it in this form for some reason really got to me. I am a suckered for a capella harmonies and strange robotic tts singing (like the Daisy Bell one). Gary Come Home, Wet Hands, and Space Oddity don't fail to bring a tear to my eye. And this just makes them even better. I feel like a dumbass for saying this. And I most certainly am. But damn. This is good

These are actually good listens, heck. Especially Moon story, for some reason I can really appreciate those voices. It's like doing those silly Acapellas(if that's how you spell it) with friends just to mess around and spend time together. Weirdly nostalgic feeling.

This takes me back, man. I first found out about Moonbase Alpha because of Boy's Life magazine, which I received while in Boy Scouts. I think I made my steam account just so I could play MBA. I very much enjoyed the TTS and I was pleased to discover several years later how much other people enjoyed the game.

wet hands still send te nostalgia hit so hard into my face, plus the moonbase aplha sounds its like of a uppercut of emotions hitting me now..., ahh... i'm not gonna cry...

Never will it fail to impress me just how much personality and feeling we as people can put into something no matter how minuscule. It was made by bits and chips and ended up being given a voice then soon a song then it was given the love and memories of hundreds.

Friend: "So what kind of music do you like?" Me: "Uhh, it's complicated..."

Moon base oddity not only works so well, but just hits so dam hard...

Something about the voices, something about the songs. They make me tear up. They make me sad, yet happy, they make me remember about everything. And even if its over or gone, the memories are sweet reminders. Reminders of people, of actions, of things. Reminders, like jewels, with a sweet luster to them. Thank you for them.

The first word spoken by man on Mars will be “aeiou”

This has given me nostalgia for something i had forgot, for something i didn't know i missed.

There's something legitimately relaxing about these songs

Astronaut: Houston, we have a problem. Houston: what is it? Astronaut: the beats, they're too good. Houston: what?

THE WHIPLASH FROM GOING TO 25:31 TO 28:15 IS FUCKING INSANE BRO HOLY HELL

The moment Cave Story's Mimiga village tune started playing I actually felt my heart ache for a moment from the memories and I just kind of-- smiled. This playlist feels weird in the best way possible, but I think that's exactly why I loved Moonbase Alpha so much.

I wouldn't mind some credits to where these are from~

Must say that cover art is absolutely amazing and I hope this isn't the end for how far this can go

Aeiou…

Y'know, with there being one literally called "mice on Venus" you'd think these astronauts would sing an Acapella of it, eh?

I’m not kidding when I say this is the best TTS related thing to ever happen in the history of anything.

Despite the game being over a decade old, the iconic voice never seems to fade away, and I hope it stays that way. BTW, Moonbase Oddity and Gary's Song absolutely stuns me. It's surreal how good this text-to-speech program is at being able to sing such songs with near perfection.

I couldn’t believe I didn’t recognize the “my reaction to that information” meme’s song to be from moon base alpha! So glad I can listen to the full song now! 18:14

This is ground control to major John...........

a playlist that I didn't expect to exist but have always wanted

Hearts 2 lazy afternoons is actually really beautiful in moonbase alpha. I listen to it when playing Elite Dangerous, exploring the stars, searching out strange new worlds, going where no CMDR has gone before... or just sitting in a station watching ships come and go through the mail slot. Where are they going? Where'd they come from? What cargo are they hauling, or what stories could that CMDR have to tell?

I fall asleep to this every Friday night to keep it fresh in my soul

ive only known about moonbase alpha recently and seeing people love it so much makes me want to love the game as well even if i haven't played it, anyways thank you for the playlist loved the space oddity cover

This tts... This is the best thing I have ever heard, I hope moonbase alpha songs will get another hype train, and even more tracks will be released.

It must’ve taken a ton of effort to replicate these songs in text-to-speech. Props to the artists

The last thing I expected in this was a rendition of lazy afternoon from kingdom hearts 2, that really hits my nostalgia

I love that i heard the stupid meme, and i immediatelly knew it was from this game, its a gem

Goddammit, why does this have to start with this song that makes literally everyone bawl their eyes out? 😭

This is weirdly wholesome, and very nostalgic. I love it!

THIS ENTIRE VIDEO IS AMAZING EVERY TIME A NEW SONG STARTS IT JUST RENEWS HOW AMAZING THIS IS

Gary's song brings some deep memories, thank you, MoonBase Alpha text to speech program

We need justice for this video, it's way too underated!

This is...glorious. I hope some day, far into the future, when humanity has extended its reach across the dizzying vastness of the stars, there will be at least one person drifting along those far off intergalactic highways and they choose this as their driving music.

the memories, this makes me wish we were back 9 years ago

*Me listening to music while playing Space Engineers* *Also me: Suddenly I come across this again while voyaging in my mega warship across the star system* “Now this is the life :)”

What an incredible game Moonbase Alpha was (is).

There’s some charm to hearing your favorite songs in funny and weirdly cute robot voices. It’s nice.

18:14 Who would have thought that at one time this music would be used in a meme which sooner or later would be forgotten like the others and they would never know the origin of the music used.

I genuinely thought that the cover of space oddity was amazing the first time i heard it, and it still is.

that little "and steven!" at 14:42 is so unexpectedly funny I love it.

Even in moonbase tts Wet Hands still makes me cry tears of nostolgia, something about it just can't be changed.

I have been searching for something like this for years. You have created a masterpiece, this is possibly the greatest art in this medium I have ever seen.

Am I the only one who listens to these unironically? Just me? Okay.

I listened to this ironically, and now: now it's on repeat.

this is beautiful, I've listened to this for an hour now

id like to imagine these were recorded live back during the glory days of moonbase alpha

man, i did not expect Mimiga Villiage, i kinda teared up when it played, despite playing it in 2019

Man I got a big smile on my face hearing that track from over the garden wall in this it’s been ages since I have seen that

this literally hits all the hits. so good. ty.

these songs continue to occupy approximately 10% of my brain permanently

Never before have a been this calm. Ive listened to entire 2 and a half hour "calming" lofi playlists and felt nothing in the likes of calm, even my own songs ive collected meant to calm me down are hyper in comparison to this. I needed this more then i couldve realized.
