Plok! - Akrillic (Restored) 

Coming back to this masterpiece upon hearing the news of Geoff passing away :(

RIP Geoff Follin. You will be missed

3:47 That's where the music loops back. That's a really long loop for a SNES game.

"They would never put prog rock in some silly obscure SNES platformer"

DAMNJ!!!!!!! why plokgi smokening that za za

_Plok_ is a prog rock album with a SNES game attached. Should have been called _Voyage of the Plokolyte._

I really like the editing and explanations that go on this, really sets it apart from being "just" the music. Great job as always on the restoration

1:09 The image perfectly described how I felt listening to that part of the song

Rest in peace Geoff, you will be remembered for ever in the video game music history. You will miss us1

ive never played Plok! in my life but this song has blown 5 separate pairs of socks off my feet already

Timestamps: 0:00 - 0:54 Kids game music 0:54 - 1:09 Prog rock 1:04 - 1:09 13/8 time signature for no reason 1:09 - 1:27 TIM IT WAS JUST PLOK FOR THE SNES 1:32 - 2:38 Prog Rock 2:38 - 3:36 Epic guitar solo

Too bad nobody's ever heard the full song. At 1:09 everything just gets drowned out by Tim and Geoff Follin's ascension to godhood.

Honestly this song is so angelic. Sounds like something you'd hear at a professional concert or something

The " WEED" scene makes me wonder how the plok ost would feel on a trip.

I want to say this is one of the most dedicated Plok videos I've ever seen. Nobody except me and perhaps a couple dozen others care about this game anymore. And the fanbase of the game is so detached that I made me so happy being able to find another person who was willing to go through all of this just to perfect the song. Thank you. Edit: Please make more of these, I would KILL to hear a high quality version of Plok's house with the pan flute and guitar.. Actually, any Plok song in general..

The guitar solo actually sounds like a Moog synth solo, and I actually like that.

Honestly, the shit about Follin sampling his own guitar performances to capture the tones as samples is bonkers. Man really did go above and beyond the call of duty.

I apologize, I did not know the homie Plok was chill like that

My grandpa loves Pink Floyd and he listen to them whenever he has the chance to. Never knew Plok would get some of that sauce too. Well, it actually feels like a mix from a lot of other genres I'd say

Please please please.... Make more Plok restorations! This is one of my favorite games from when I was a kid. It's honestly one of the reasons I fell in love with music and hearing this restored gave me goosebumps. It's literally perfection.

Truly amazing how tim folin was able to add chords and progressions into his music that were just so surreal and musically very advanced while working with such basic tools.

Please do the whole Plok OST this sounds incredible

i love this Genesis B-side

PLOK!!!! i lvoe plok..

The fact that I was born in the mid 2000's makes me mad because I missed so much stuff in the past

this is peak music. In fact, this elevates music

2:37 The guitar solo could fit perfectly into a Risk of Rain game and I wouldn't even question it

0:55 ‘nuff said

Hearing this while sleeping is truly an experience

This song was really well done. It's nice to hear the actual instruments in place of the original song. I'd like to hear "beach" as well, but that's just me

Holy hell this is amazing! You deserve more views for sure WEED

This is so good. Really appreciate the effort this took. And like Follin himself, you deserve more recognition for it.

That synth solo at 2:38 fucking floors me every time. 😻🥰💃🏻

This genuinely sounds like something Rush or King Crimson would have composed. This blew my mind.

The amount of work put into this and the attention to detail is astounding, this is really great!

This track has no business being this damn good. It's amazing.

imagine what boss theme would sound like after restoration

Best Remake I've heard. I wish the whole was done and downloadable. I donated! Maybe Flea pit next! One of my faves

Amazing work! Akrillic is absolutely my favorite track from this game! Beach is a great track too, but this one will stay with me for a long time.

it's still insane to me how you reconstructed this song entirely from scratch, incredible work here

Come and get em

I don't know why this appeared in my feed but it's exactly what I wanted to see.

If you do this to Beach, I would be so happy! :D

This is wonderful. Thank you. To those very familiar with the game did you notice this theme played on the levels with all the boarded up shops and buildings with for sale signs? I have no idea if they drew inspiration from this but the general theme of this track and the sadness that is woven into it seems to capture so well the neglected and boarded up towns of formerly successful British seaside resorts. Even as a child it made me think of those forlorn places because it looks and feels just like them....I replay this game at least one a year and this somewhat haunting melody is one of my favourites.

beautiful restoration, and the video is fantastic, i really love the bit showcasing the time signatures. would love to hear more snes game restorations! keep up the great work!

This is so outstanding . Thank you for your hard work

This is amazing, not only did you recreate the soundtrack from scratch, but also edited the entire music making process into the video! Awesome stuff, hope someday we get to see more of this

i loved this game as a kid but realize as an adult i love the soundtrack way more than i ever loved the game play so i fully support this project!

Tim & Geoff Follin seem to have been very inspired by Jethro Tull when writing this song.

Incredible work! Amazing restoration of one of the best video game songs for one of the best video games of all time!

The tune heavily borrows from “Living In The Past” by Jethro Tull.

This sounds awesome, great work!

WOW this sounds incredible, also like a hell of a lot of effort hope that the sound driver gets reverse-engineered someday so that future restorations aren't a pain in the ass

The passion and love you have for this music really shows! Thank you!

Came here from Church of Kondo. I must say, you did an awesome job!

W e e d

wow. this is a big work. starting from remake itself, continuing to editing with all those little things, info you give about historical context and many interesting moments from your workflow. you have creative and deep approach. and of course, it's so pleasing to listen. like i'm having this recommended right on the page with original, and remake sounds so clear. downloaded flacs for both akrillic and beach. thank you!

Thanks for this restoration

i cannot stop listening to this track, absolutely fantastic work. i've always liked the music from this game since it was released, i was lucky enough to grab a copy in the 90s. i haven't truily appreciated how complex this is until your restoration, and now it has lived in my head for the past few weeks. bravo!!

Oh god this is absolutely amazing! Please make more!

Amazing chords

They seem to love those crazy powerful jazzy chord change bits like at 1:10

my ears have been blessed

One of my all-time fave game tracks!! Awesome job 👏

Plok might have the greatest original soundtrack of any super nintendo game ever made. Awesome work bro 👏

Best remaster I've ever heard of an SPC-700 song

Man I really hope you're working on more of these, because this is superb

1:14 Weed

if plok ever gets remastered they need to hire you lol

Well, that sounded good enough that I was gripped by it until it looped. The explanation is clear - clear as it can be to my musically-ignorant brain anyhow - any well presented. Nice. :D

This is exceptional effort in a youtube video. i cant really say anything but thank you

holy shjit!!!111 plo

I miss this game so much!

this is the coolest shit i ever seen and id love to do something like it, but i got no clue where to start. this video is setting an amazing standard of quality regardless.

Long have I waited...

I almost forgot to listen to this today!

damn impresssive work good job

I hope one of these restoration videos can start with “hey all! Plok here.”

ever thought about uploading a fixed version to the google drive where the drums in the first part aren’t slightly delayed? that’s the extra 5% this needs to achieve perfection!!

Your restoration work is always fantastic, and this might be my favorite song ever - I expected it to be much lower on the list of the restoration community's priorities. On a side note, I've noticed that your Corridors of Time upload is missing - was it taken down by you, or were you forced by SE? No pressure to put it back up if you intended to remove it, I'm just curious - especially since it's named in the Church of Kondo upload's description. Again, really fantastic work!

God I love the attention Polk music is getting. Well deserved!

Love the snes great music graphics for the time bless are does who grow up with this

This shit is phenomenal, great work

Really well made

I want Thunder Cat to sang over this that would be 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing work on this project, worth the effort! Also the WEED part gave me a chuckle lol EDIT: I just realized you're the one who also restored Wario Land 4's Hurry Up! Get in my subscriptions, you beautiful person.

Didn't realize it was a brother team. All this time I was accrediting it to just Tim!

1:09 is seriously magical

This is awesome!

Rad!

ure doing some rly good stuff here dude, tx

daaamn, nice! always wondered how you "upscale" sounds to be honest

This sounds like something that would be right at home on a Japanese bullet hell.

daaas da guud shiiii

Really loved your hard work, I saw your first video 2y ago on wario land 4, keep up the good work and maybe another plok song for the next restoration? ;)

Kudos to you.

This feels like a remaster of a garage bands first album, where its way better than the original master, made from the original tape, but somehow feels like a completely different recording.

If anyone else is thinking of remaking this music, well, you’ve more or less made it impossible for them.

Please do Beach!!

5:20 Dark gritty Plok reboot that nobody asked for
