Best VGM 672 - The Neverhood - Klaymen's Theme

[Googergiger]

My friends and I will set this song on repeat and let it play in the background while we hang out. After a while, it just feels natural, like it was always supposed to be there... we can let it play for hours with out complaints.

[albertwesker36]

this is a really well composed soundtrack i wasnt expecting of such from a game but i could throw this onto my ipod and listen all day.

[Senjan]

Oh god yes, Neverhood!

I love you now SupraDarky!

[MrNorbert1994]

Earthworm Jim, and Neverhood are the BEST video games ever created. I NEED TO SAY THAT. Both games were created by Doug TenNapel.

[Kaijudomage22]

@MrNorbert1994 Now that you say that, there is a striking resemblance between their character designs.

[electricmastro]

Reminds me of something that would come from Sesame Street.

[masterplusmargarita]

First time I hear of this game, but this music (Pretty goddamn excellent) makes me want to find out about it. Hmm... I wonder how much it's on steam (If it's on there at all)?

[SperMSoldieR103]

Brian Badonde on backing vocals.

[SperMSoldieR103]

6 words: G E N I U S.

[gunslingerfry]

I've got a copy of this around somewhere...

[ChrisDC1992]

this game was soo retarded! I love it : P

[nedorush]

Good music :)

[SuperGuitarDude]

This sounds like something from Squirrel Nut Zippers. It's awesomesauce XD

[terraflyer23]

Surprisingly good.

... Damn, I've listened to it 10 times now.

[Peteysweety]

Played this game when I was like 8. So weird.

[sinituuke]

I've listened to this theme through for quite a many times already. I'd love to play The Neverhood, because it would bring some fresh air into this "realistic HD all-3D" atmosphere that seems to be going on in both animated movies and games alike. Plus I haven't played that many point-and-click adventure games in my life, only one to be excact.

[Cognetto]

I will Jam this in compton

[jmann114]

The reason why this song is so catchy is because it is so well composed. Like VERY well composed. The production and composition of a song can make or break it. Everything to the phrasing of the instruments to the harmonies makes this tune get nailed in your head.

[HardWarUK]

As I keep saying: You have to back before 2005 to see brave games and brave music and brave gameplay and brave graphics. and brave stories. since 2005 games have got more cowardly in all those departments.

[bushwhacker2k]

@HardWarUK Can you list specific games? Because it feels like it's been longer than that since gaming got cowardly.

[HardWarUK]

@bushwhacker2k Darklands, Terra Nova: Task Force Centauri, X-Com, Sea Rogue, Sword of the Samurai, System Shock1 and 2, Deus Ex, Half Life, The Longest Journey. I could go on, but I don't have 7 hours to type even half of them..... So the above is just a selection!

[masterplusmargarita]

@HardWarUK I agree: The reason? Because since 2005 (I'd say even earlier, 2002, but let's say 2005), game's prices to produce have reached so high that taking risks is no longer feasible. Before, one game selling badly would cause the studio to try harder next time. Nowadays, one game selling badly will make a studio go bankrupt, so studios tend to go for tried and tested formulas. The only ones who can still get brave are indie developers. VALVe is also still a fan of taking risks.

[HardWarUK]

@masterplusmargarita What you say is very sensible. Valve seems more interested in Steam at the moment, and one game from Valve or Blizzard or Bethesda every 5 years isn'6 going to keep gaming alive! You are right about Indie games, but I think you are forgetting the second tier developers in Europe. They don't have $30 million to spend on a game, but they do have $10 million, unlike the Indies that have only $100,000's. I mean AA titles like STALKER, Gothic, Two Worlds and Witcher, etc

[GamesCauseViolins]

Really makes me think of the music from Voodoo Vince. I love this style, personally.

[AP3Brain]

I remember this game way way back when.  I think it was one of the first real games I played. Played it with my brother. Why don't they make games like these anymore?

[whitey3221]

Dear SupraDarky...thank you for an awesome playlist...or should I say an awesome 4 playlists now that you're over 600. Seriously it just keeps me coming back, and is about the only thing I pay attention to on youtube.

[Baghnal]

Hey, kinda catchy :D

Never played this game before but the music is cool^^

[ZeZwede]

mwaahaahahahah this rocks so bad. i recall laughing my ass off to this a good couple of times. :D

[AZthehedgehog]

Fantastic choice!

[FAILGET64]

Klezmer music :3 I only remember a few songs from this game, but they were all awesome.

[CleverDjembe]

It's like Eastern-European folk music :=)

[Iwannaplayssbb]

kickass game,kickass music

[coollein]

You sure got good taste in videogame songs!

[Grakesch]

Well, now THAT song really is somehow catchy.

[zigil1]

I love the game and the whole soundtrack, although probably not this is my favorite.

[Koopsas]

The style of this game kinda reminds me of the brilliant Samorost.

[lolterror2000]

The music is nice!

[KholdSeraph89]

I never got to play this one, but I loved Skull Monkeys.

[dunboody]

odd

[GD2kplus]

Wow, I never heard of this one before and I thought I played most old school adventure titles. With this song alone, I want to play it!

[SnakesNBarrels01]

One of the most underrated games and soundtracks around in my opinion, great pick.

[grrr9]

More Music from the Neverhood, please...

Love your channel, Supra, keep it up!

[adtrea]

Man, this song is infectious. :)

[Twinkies6911]

I recently bought the 2 cd set of music titled "Imaginarium: Songs from The Neverhood". Its awesome! Also has the skullmonkeys songs. My favorite is the bonus room song.

[Ghalheart]

YES! This is one of my faves from the game. Have you heard Klogg's Castle theme yet, as it's up there too, IMO. Far more sinister than Klaymen's theme for sure, but has that same kinda vibe that's unique to this game.

Thanks for sharing, SD!

[master22988]

The Neverhood has one of the best overall game soundtracks by far, and was an amazing game.

Too bad skullmonkeys wasn't that fantastic.

[GigaWerts]

good choice

[earthboundkid1]

what system is this game for

[RCPlanes59]

Special tomorrow for 900th video?

[xSayPleasex]

@RCPlanes59 i dont think he does specials for the overall... its only 672 video in the actual series

[xSayPleasex]

What is that low bass woodwind sound? a bassoon lol?

I cant decide if i like or hate this its pretty odd sounding

[Pawnbroker12]

@xSayPleasex  sounds like a bari sax to me

[ScrapBrainZone]

@xSayPleasex I think it's a baritone sax. Possibly a tenor... it's been a while since I've been in band :-/

[NintendoFreak888]

Oh my god. I loved The Neverhood. Such an awesome point and click game. I forgot about it now and this brings back so many memories. Thanks for posting this!

[Hawelo92]

I don't believe this. I was just reading about this game at a thread and then you post soundtrack of it!

[SupraDarky]

I find this to be a really pleasant sounding theme. The intrumentation is great and the melody is fun, just like the game. It really starts getting in your head after a couple listens.

[gmrpg2]

@SupraDarky this game was awesome. I watched my brother play the whole thing. We sang the music the entire time. Also, if you liked this play Skull Monkeys, amazing.

[Sephiko]

I read about this in game magazines many years ago. Nice to finally hear a song from it.
