The Adventures of Batman & Robin--Psycho Section

[winterhell2002]

I still run the game's sound test just to listen to magic

[ACinthemaking]

On headphones, this shit is crazy!

[swadlol]

Jesper Kyd is by far the best VGM artist on the planet. Also, Batman and Robin for genesis is the best batman game (fuck arkham city) of all time, with the best sound track of any video game ever.

I remember my dad taking me to blockbuster to rent this game and then we went to Mcdonald's and i got a quarter pounder with cheese meal Super sized. It was the first time i had gotten a super sized meal from McDonalds. Later we watched Major Payne, and after that I played this game for a really long time. I remember the later stages being really tough at the time, and I was never able to beat the game until some years later at a friends. Love the 90's! OG Micky D fries, genesis, and good comedy

I use this song at work often just to hurry my ass up in an otherwise boring world of paper work.

[goker1001]

starting 2:42 this is what we call a sound track

[VenusHeadTrap2]

@goker1001 I agree that's one of my favorite beats.

[VenusVoicez]

5:17 is beyond words Bad Ass.

[VenusVoicez]

One of my all time favorite BGMs from any video game.

Just a question, what is the SN76489? It was something that Kyd didn't use?

[PsychOut1]

@VenusVoicez The SN76489 is the second sound chip in the Genesis,it provided 3 square waves or 2 squares and a noise channel.Most composers used it to add substance to songs using squares or the noise channel for beats, but Jesper managed to achieve a wide sound just using the one chip, or just 6 channels.

[lolitaXcomplex]

@PsychOut1 i havent checked wikipedia but isnt the ym chip used in the mega drive an 8 channel fm synth identical to the ones in the yamaha dx100/ fb01?

i love fm synthesis! thanks for uploading these tracks. You heard the biohazard battle ost? that is brilliant also

[PsychOut1]

@lolitaXcomplex @ No it was 6 channels of 4 operators or 5 channels and one DAC.The YM2151 had 8 channels.I have heard the Biohazard Battle soundtrack numerous times, and I love it, especially stage 7.

[pawnduit]

@PsychOut1 That's some cool info, it makes it that much more impressive and I agree this is the most impressive ST.

I just found myself trying to explain in a different vid comment: I am in no way trying to criticize Yuzo Koshiro and what he did in the SoR games (even if some tracks verge on plagiarism, lol) but the only way anyone could put Kyd's tracks SECOND to SoR is if they just never heard the precedents for either sound.

It's the difference between pure adaptation and mere accommodation.

[dakarus]

So what Jesper Kyd used to compose this soundtrack, nobody else used?

[PsychOut1]

@dakarus He used a special driver.It gave him a more a tracker like interface, and more control of the chip.Most games on the Genesis that sound outstanding use special drivers, Streets of Rage 2/3, Devilish,etc.This is not to say you need a technical driver to make great music, i.e Sonic the Hedgehog.

[Week1010101]

It doesn't get any better than this.

THIS is what Kick-Ass VGM sounds like!

[ultimateDoyle]

I can´t stop hearing this!!!

Have you played the snes version? Don´t do it, it´s awful.

Genesis rules!

[VenusHeadTrap]

This music means: Now you're in deep shit, throw batarangs and dodge shit like never before!

[dragonflyzfan]

@VenusHeadTrap

Funny xD

[joaco13985]

[Thomahawk08]

The best soundtrack on Sega Genesis.
