If any of you people are here from 8 Bit Drummer, (or not, it doesn't matter) I suggest you check out the full playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLFCp1PLqgPzCrfc4BALfINUs7ueJMkUcP Especially Level Six. If you thought this was strange for a Tetris theme, Level 6 is even more so, in my opinion.
Nope, I’m here from SiIvaGunner. :p Honestly, most of the tracks here could pass for instrumental versions of Phil Collins songs. I’ve got no idea *what* they were actually going for with this soundtrack. 0__o
@@tdark987 Since I wrote the music, I’ll enlighten you a bit… When I wrote these pieces I wasn’t looking at the game, I was looking at the backgrounds, which were all pastoral scenes, and my direction was to write to them and not worry about the game at all. Also, having just done the 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' video game for Disney (and having to compress my tracks down to 4, 3, 2, and 1 voices for that project) I was thrilled to be working in a format with NO restrictions. And, although I liked Phil Collins, my real influence at the time was David Foster. Very noticeable in some of the tracks.
@@mijnordna Thanks for explaining - it makes a whole lot more sense now that I understand the thinking behind it. And very nice job too on the music itself. :-) It’s really quite astonishing how many bad, mediocre or just plain forgotten games have great soundtracks. Just an aside, but your comment about restrictions is interesting. It seems like there were two distinct ways game composers reacted to the switch to CD audio around the mid 90s; there were those who seized it as an opportunity to show their full potential, and those who seemed to almost lose their footing from the sheer amount of possibilities it’d suddenly opened up (some opted to stick with synths and MIDI-style track composition well into the PS1 era; e.g. Uematsu and the FF 7/8/9 soundtracks).
My name's Jim Andron. I wrote this music back in ‘92. I can’t believe what an afterlife it has had, but I’m very grateful. Thanks to all of you who continue to enjoy it!
@@betamax1815 I don't know. I have most of the cuts (missing level 7), but I'm not sure how to proceed. Have been talking to Unfortunateface to do another vinyl release, we'll see.
@@mijnordna The easiest and most accessible way would probably be some kind of digital release. If there's going to be another vinyl release I hope it's not limited to only vinyl.
Heh. Good one, it kinda does sound like that. At least, I can imagine. I’ve never heard this used for anything like that, but I come from England, where we have the BBC, so that’s probably it.

Cd-I dev: "Ok its just Tetris, you can basically do anything, even Korobeiniki again, but you dont need to go too crazy with it." Jim Andron: *begins levitating in the studio*
"Thank you for calling Tetris Inc. We are experiencing greater than usual held calls. We appreciate your patience while we get all of the blocks to fall into place to clear a representative for your line."
That's the magic of this kind of music. It makes you feel like you're watching an educational video or something from the 80s or 90s, where the teacher had to bring in the big tube TV and VHS player on a cart. Yes, I'm old enough to remember those!
Came here from Jacob Geller's videos. This song sounded so familiar, but there's no way I've ever played this version of Tetris before. There's no reason for this to go this hard
bro i've had this song floating around my head for literal years, never remembering what it was called. Thank god I finally found it. Now I can die in peace
I love this song so much. Even though i wasn't born till 2002, i feel awfully nostolgic for this game because of it's music. Jim Andron knocked it out of the park.
The Level 0 Theme from Tetris (CD-i) (1992) reminds me of On the Wings of Love (1982) by Jeffrey Osborne and Through the Barricades (1986) by Spandau Ballet.
I didn't even know Tetris CD-i was a thing until I saw 8BitDrummer's cover. Dang, if this isn't the definition of "aesthetic" then I don't know what is!
Man, this track really tugs at my heart strings. I've listened to it recently, but it sounds so nostalgic to me. The aesthetics in this version of Tetris are strong.
What is this? What is this genre? Have I played this game before? Have I watched somebody play this game before? Why does it make me feel so *_nostalgic?!_*
1. Tetris CD-I soundtrack, says it in the name, ya cretin. The composer is actually in this comment section 2. I guess it's kinda like smooth jazz or something. Basically Easy Listening music. this ain't vaporwave, vaporwave is sample-based, and takes alot of inspiration from Easy Listening music from around this time (80s-90s). 3. Maybe, maybe not. It's Tetris CD-I, from what I've heard it's one of the better CD-I games, and has a really soothing aesthetic. It has a few game design issues, like as you play, it's split up into levels to change scenery, but it leads to a really annoying loading screen in between, which isn't great for Tetris, which you typically want no interruptions so you can keep focus. There also isn't any in-game noises for the blocks, which is a bit strange, and might harm gameplay a bit. Also, it probably isn't worth getting a CD-I for this, just emulate it. 4. Maybe, maybe not. Probably not frankly, it's not like you're gonna see people playing obscure(-ish) Tetris games much, especially when they're pratically all the same 5. You've probably heard alot of music like this, it's easy listening stuff, which appears in alot of settings to relax the people there. Also in alot of TV Shows and Movies too. But you probably haven't heard THIS before.
If you stuck this onto a vaporwave album, I think it'd fit in perfectly. I almost get a sense of false nostalgia when listening to it; particularly, a memory of life in the 90s, even though I was actually born in 2000. That vibe makes it amazing to listen to, and if RU-vid still had star ratings on videos, this would get a 5 star from me.
1980's action movie, movies main hero walks into a resort for his contact and stumbles upon the contact's sister who climbs out the swimming pool to this music and who will end up being his girl by the end. That's exactly what this track is lol
''Sir, a problem just came up.'' ''What happened? We only have a couple minutes to prove my innocence!'' ''Yeah sorry, but something happened and, uh... the evidence we have to prove you're not guilty got replaced with a bunch of Tetriminos.'' Real talk though, this track is surprisingly chill. And I kinda like it.
I've only listened to this music from the Philips CD-i game Tetris on RU-vid before and it sounds really relaxing. It may be perfect for helping people to get rid of their stress and forget unhappy bad times in the past. I've heard Philips CD-i has few good games such as such as The 7th Guest, Burn:Cycle, Tetris, Pac-Attack, The Apprentice, and Lemmings despite being a poor console. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
I wholeheartedly believe that 90s were a time where we peaked as a species. At least, in terms of pop culture. There are lots of other good decades but none feels this magical.
