Earthworm Jim HD Music - New Junk City

[Angelcakes20]

This beats crunks! Every time I played this level it made me want to dance! But the Sega Genesis version had much more Soul than this. Bring that back!

[Allroundmoviemaker]

Wow, advanced technology made this ultimate tune sound shitty as a psycrow's asshole. Only real version of this is the genesis edition.

[CycerMan]

Why they dont make HD remake from EWJ2?! that would be awsome

[TylerMcNamerRULES]

"COW LAUNCHED!"

[Gggmanlives]

this is a good remix, but i think it lacks the impact of the old snes version. this one's got no soul

[summ22]

@Gggmanlives

sadly, this is the case with all VGM music remixes. until today, i haven't heard a single one which is superior to the original

[MrBFG317]

i got this for my ps3 i dont regret it !

[Kamazuka1000]

This one is so coooooool :D

[scikoolaid]

This pales in comparison to a mix of this and the SNES verison. watch?v=mDJyCCywaXg so much better and more alive sounding! Have a listen!

[benjamillion]

sega cd version pwns over this times infinity

[IOmegadUrMom]

I can think maybe why they used the SNES versions. I prefer some of the SNES over the PC but its a few select song where the bass feels to add to the song.

[MinecraftHipster]

100th like

Also i don't care if you grew up SNES fan or Sega fan, I think we can all agree that the Sega CD version will ALWAYS have the best soundtrack due to it's updated sounds and FUGGIN GUITAR SOLOS OMGITSSOAMAZING.

The HD soundtrack can suck my dick.

Just Saiyan.

0 people have terrible taste in music.

[DarkZekeX]

These aren't composed by Diego Zaldivar. Most of these Earthworm Jim pieces are compositions by Tommy Tallarico. Maybe this guy re-orchestrated them, but they aren't his compositions.

[SpiralPegasus]

Despite all the fanboy hate, I'm with you. Sega Genesis had the best version of ALL, precisely because of the grimdark vibe it had, and what goes better with a level called NEW JUNK CITY than a distorted synth and slap bass?

[DucValefor]

The Sega CD version remains the best to me.

[akiratubo]

New Junk City, in any form, is one of the greatest pieces of video game music ever composed.

[Titanium]

@akiratubo I agree. I love all versions of this theme. Including the HD one.

[Yabuturtle]

This one isn't too bad. It's a nice dark theme, although it's not as good as the Genesis and SNES themes. Personally I think the Sega CD version was the best. :)

[DeWRecordings]

I thought the PC sound track was better

[HyuugaNicolas]

@DeWRecordings You're damn right , i was with 6 when i played that game in pc and still remeber that awesome guitar on the song >;D

[MrMoopp]

Doug Ten Apel Made "The Neverhood" and "Earthworm Jim"...Terry Scott Taylor made the Soundtrack for The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys. If he had done the Soundtrack for Earthworm Jim too, this would sound like gods voice. They are genius.

[Bmud]

The synth at 0:33 sucks. Everything sounded cool. I'm all for added ambience, but they should've blended in a 16-bit-sounding lead or a real instrument. What's there sounds wimpy and gay.

[censored1080]

I personally think the genesis version (which is what the game was originally made for) sounds better

[TitanTheCatOFFICIAL]

I personally think this game has an under-rated OST.

Being an old-school gamer myself, I personally think there's nothing wrong with this.

[CCharmanderK]

*insert funk here*

EWJ, no matter what version you play, always has the best music ever.

[NewAgeRetroGamer]

@CCharmanderK Except GBA version

[ImPacman]

Prefer SNES version of this song.

[sabre926]

Jim (firing ray gun): Eat dirt hyper-kinetic scoundrel! Ah ha ha ha ha haaaa!

LOL! Man, just hearing that tune makes me thing about this game all over again! New Junk City was my favorite stage, next to Lorenzo's Soil and Level Ate! Thanks Renegade!

[anatony11]

Jekblom123 wodoo u meen the snes version I's da bezt man!  lol! 

[jekblom123]

The snes version was good

[MrJudas666666]

this version is rubbish the pc version is way better

[nolimitxp]

best part

0:33-0:41

[taranchula97]

It sounds more like the SNES version than anything else.

[Patcheresu]

Thank you for uploading these songs but do take in mind that the SNES version is factually BETTER than the Genesis for the factoid that it had a more advanced sound system. The Genesis is great but the SNES was built for varying styles of music which is what Earthworm Jim is full of.

Please take in account not which system is your favorite but the wonderful advantages of both. You really can't make synth base like an SNES or a Genesis. You just can't.

[REX4EVER90]

Wonderful!!!

[Wiiguy07]

@Renegade466isback - Where can I find the soundtrack to this game?

[Renegade466isback]

@Wiiguy07

Final Fantasy Shrine forums have an incomplete rip of it, with alot of skipping and other errors in the track.

These ones I uploaded I ripped from the game myself.

I will possibly make a download link one day for my ripped soundtrack

[Wiiguy07]

@Renegade466isback - Groovy!

[TheRealCodeBlack]

@Renegade466isback Please do. By the way, what's the name of the track for the bonus stage where the keyboard cat is the boss. The theme of that boss, specifically.

[dhamiltonkid265]

@Renegade466isback Your aWesome!

[dsowens89]

People if you want music like this it's called Atube Catcher. You can download videos like this and convert it into and mp3 format. Ever have any music videos you have seen on youtube and want to keep watching? You can do the same for those too. Just google it, and it's self explanatory.

[Wiiguy07]

@dsowens89 - thanks, but no thanks.

[TailsSR]

Probably the only person who prefers this and the SNES version over the Genesis version. The ambient feel suits the level well IMO. (I own this game on Genesis btw)

[Patcheresu]

@TailsSR I'm with you, buddy. The SNES was made with better instruments. It's nothing to it. Better instruments. It's like Saying the Wii isn't better than the PS3 because of graphics. As games like Super Mario Galaxy 2 prove, graphics and bloodshed don't make a game. Fun does.

[TheRealCodeBlack]

@TailsSR I agree. The ambience really works for it, and the stage. In my opinion it's what really makes the song: the mix between the ambience and the bass - in comparison the Sega version seems kind of... muted.

My favorite version is the PC version, though - it pulls of intense and ambient at the same time, sort of.

[haZZard95J]

they should of put the special edition new junk music on this game

[darnu123456789]

Someone should do an OST for the DS version. It's a cross between the PC and Genesis versions.

[MettCobalt]

I find it brutally disappointing that this is based on the SNES version rather than the Genesis or Special Edition versions... Even though improves on the instruments a great bit, I still wish it were a bit more exciting, because it STILL sounds a bit bland...

Those f***ers better patch a better version of this tune into the game at some point... lol

[ResurrectedTemplar]

Oh fuck. New Junk City is raped. Somebody gotta give link to Tommy Tallarico and ask his opinion on it.

[SonicTheJackrabbit]

Personally I am a bit disappointed that they didn't use the Genesis arrangement, but this is still pretty good regardless.

[Ultimaflims]

Good lord this just sounds awful in comparison to the CD releases.

[SakuraSFIV]

I've been waiting for this version of the soundtrack to be posted. Thanks, ren. I love you :D

[rushnerd]

I don't know why they insist on changing the music on every port. This isn't bad, it's like a mix of Sega CD and something else. Bassline is great the rest, meh.

[Renegade466isback]

@rushnerd

The music is based on the Super NES version rather than the Sega original, sadly

[rushnerd]

@Renegade466isback

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! *removes cow and launches self*

[heardofrvb]

@rushnerd HAVE A NICE FLIGHT!

[MettCobalt]

@rushnerd ...You win. You can have my egg launcher if you survive.

[HawtDawg925]

@Renegade466isback Why... "sadly?"

Not dissing the originals, but beside the fact that SNES didn't have intestinal distress, both are kind of the same... :/

[Yntaream]

@Renegade466isback "Im not the only one who thinks so."

So what? Many think the opposite. Believe me, I'm not the only one who thinks that the SNES music wasn't "trash". In fact, personally, I like it better. That's a matter of opinion, please don't disregard that.

[Srakin]

@Renegade466isback No way meng. All of the Earthworm Jim games had awesome music, regardless of platform.

Also:

Groovy!

[HawtDawg925]

@Renegade466isback Oh, I thought you meant the game itself, not the music.

[ZhadoxFlamez]

@Renegade466isback

What's the difference?

Both tracks use the exact same notes, all they did was switch the melody with the harmony because the Genesis soundchip couldn't produce a bass soundbyte loud enough.

[godverdegodverdomme]

@Renegade466isback Well frankly I think SNES version sounds the best of all :P

[ibhenowflee]

@Renegade466isback ha ha no.

[ShaithMaster]

@ibhenowflee if earthworm jim were real he'd throw an egg at you

[nicholascooney]

@ShaithMaster No, he'd whip him with his wormy head...

[ShaithMaster]

@Renegade466isback I completely agree with you

[nicholascooney]

@Renegade466isback Why are people still arguing over which console had better music? It's not like its 1993 anymore or something like that. When are people gonna give it a rest? I like the majority of Super Nintendo game graphics and I like Sega Genesis Music. Why can't we just compromise?

[edward18517]

they're gonna argue as long as it exists. It's what people do and it's not all that big a deal

[bendario]

@Renegade466isback The SNES music is quite good, actually. Some songs sound better on it, some sound better on the Genesis, and most sound better on PC.

[Patcheresu]

@Renegade466isback That is sad, right there.

[Super0Andreu0Bros]

@Renegade466isback Best than PC? You're mad, boy

[MrMegaman0607]

@Renegade466isback I thought the SNES music was WAY better than the SEGA music!

[Tenucha]

@HawtDawg925 Sega CD's soundtrack was superior though. I think the Anthology soundtrack was largely based off that soundtrack version also.

[HawtDawg925]

@Tenucha Yes, but I find that the SNES' music sounds "darker," which fits the Earthworm Jim universe.

[HawtDawg925]

@Tenucha True, true.

[ShaithMaster]

@HawtDawg925 I hate to admit it, but that guy is right.. even though he put it so crudely.. The Genesis version was tighter and really solid. It may use a lower level sound system but the SNES version is just loose.

[VonManavis]

@rushnerd

They are not changing the music on purpose. It's the quality of the sound modules in every platform that make it sound different. The most listenable is the PC version with soundblaster.
