Maybe I'm an overly dramatic dude, but Tekken 4 had just peak music, Tekken plot-wise is such a dark game where everyone hates each other, but the music is just wonderful, it's calm and dynamic at the same time, of course the rave-party music from Tekken 7 and 8 is also not bad, but the entire soundtrack from Tekken 4 feels as if each hero left his hatred before the battle, and during the battle he was completely in concentration
This is one of those tracks that stick with you for the rest of your life. First heard this when I played Tekken 4 as a 16 year old. I am now 37 and still remember those drums playing during the replay at the end of each round.
Fr man, Tekken 4 was such a unique entry in the series that it sticks with you. Authentic Sky paired with the Building stage just give off such a atmospheric vibe. Absolutely classic.
I don’t think I’ll ever not be confused about how or why the iTunes version of this album decided to exclude the drums from this song when they’re clearly the best part.
Full disclaimer as a 90s kid: I would say it had to do with Copyright. Maybe the artist who did the drums for the song wanted it to be on their own separate account. I’m guessing and judging by the fact that most of those gaming soundtracks back then had a lot of the simple beats that would involve percussions and even things like spoons done by actual people and that’s what I was guessing on as far as the reason, but I might be wrong lol. Timbaland’s music is actually pretty influenced by it too, I’ve noticed with his production that his music has a tendency to lean more towards these genres of music as well as the Japanese production influences as well.
@@rynojs2013 You could hear it. Some of Tekken's 2000s era tracks sounds like something Missy Elliott would rap to. Unknown Theme from TT1 is the best example
I used to love this song playing as a child especially the drums. At the same time, hearing the drums means you got your A** handed to you, because it took so long for the drums to come in. If you heard the drums chances are, you were almost brought to tears 😅
@@KingToshin you are the man, The times I had back in the 2000s with this game wqa so good, it was the most realistic tekken with the visual style match that era too, same with tekken tag 1 is was peak 90s style
@@LuminousPath13 Tekken has some great beats that rival even the great gems of the reinforced records series. Especially those in ties with fist of the North Star. G force and seji tracks were god mode like.
