Simcity 4 Music - Oasis

[ChipsALaChocolat]

i love the way they used the tabla at the end.....they create such a unique sound, lol..

[tollboothjason]

Oh.

This song played about half the time when the game started. That intro always gave me the sensation of, "Here we go, time to start building!"

[SuperMrBentley]

perfect theme for studying structures 1 for civil engineering

[leDiachan]

Just remembering the first time I saw cranes building my first skyscraper in the game brings tears to my eyes :)

[HariKun21]

I like the finish drums. Great game, yes (:

[fishyfishyburger]

From 1:16 this could be a remix of Closer by Ne-Yo

[XKetchupHeinzX]

I love the flute 2:32 it's so amazing and so relaxing

[TheSeanster209]

been forever since i played simcity 4 but i still remember this one

[noobking111]

has maxismade anything recently that is not sims?

[RyanKaufman]

@noobking111 Yeah, Sim City Societies.

It's shit. Looks like they forgot to actually try and make a Sim City 5.

[PsychoticLoner]

@RyanKaufman

If I recall correctly, many folder names in Simcity Societies were titled "SC5".

I like Societies, but it was no Simcity 5, so I'm glad they changed it.

[RyanKaufman]

@PsychoticLoner They probably were going to make 5, but something happened, maybe they got lazy, and they wrapped up what they had and tried to improve on it.

[Pheonix7king]

@noobking111 spore! lol i havent played it but it looks incredibly fun

[adamcbourke]

the beginning is just like the alternate opening of charmed

[noobking111]

was this song made for the game, or was it licensed?

[masilya111]

I love the flute : 1:58

[5995amany]

inter fox

[ThomasakaDes]

This is the track thats playing in the intro video isn`t it?

[desiromeo107]

So many layers... deconstructing, re merging

its such an amazing weaving of sound

[allflying3]

My fave track

[Israelyguy14]

I always liked SC4 music. it fits to the game. It's like the Transport Tycoon Deluxe music, which get's memorised in your mind, and you can recognize it no matter when or where you hear it.

[noobking111]

@Israelyguy14 your telling me. I heard this song for the first time in a year tonight, the first second I was like "I've heard this before, were though"? then 2 seconds after that I remembered, which is why I'm here ^^

[Toxward]

Up all night zoning...

[Simsfanguy]

10 People don't understand what classic gaming is.

10 People don't understand what Simcity 4 is.

10 People.. don't understand the word epicness.

[19kylegreer96]

The songs in this game made me stick in there when those annoying small fires started, when that bitch complains about money, when that cunt complains about not enough fire stations, when that whore complains there isn't enough trees, and that city planner, well, he was chilled the whole time.

[Rockyroopam]

I <3 the guitar intro and tabla !

[CaptianTGA]

This song, if anyone listens halfway through, there is some SimCity 1 Megaopolis music in it! Listen very carefully to it! :D Its why I love this one definitally! :) <3

[TheEpicImpaler]

BEST VIDEOGAME SOUNDTRACK EVER



[CaptianTGA]

I detect a little SimCity 1 Music theme from Megalopolosis on this track! Anyone else notices this?  Just a more modified version?

[CaptianTGA]

Another Million Star song from SimCity 4!!!!

[montez1016]

YES! Finally found it! SEND FOR THE MAN!

[JakeyBoySupreme]

Sim City 4's music makes me want to go out and build something

[apriswajaya]

I bet they finished making the next sim city, but they haven't composed the right OST for it

[Torqual]

If you visit the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, they have some great music like this playing while you go through the audio-visual exhibition on the way to the lifts.

[therealdjcammONUTUBE]

i love/hate how this song reminds me of my own mortality. It makes me think of all the places i'll never see, the people i'll never meet, the experiences i'll never have. can i stop listening to it? no :D

[Rykimaruh]

The begin reminds me Half-Life 2 Soundtracks <3

[Colakills]

Some of the tracks of simcity 4 were available for actual download on itunes. Tracks such as this one are not available for commercial release on that album. Is the only way to get the music by taking the mp3 from the game folder?

[therealdjcammONUTUBE]

@Colakills yes, just copy them out of the folder if u can find it. forgotten what the folder is called, 'radio' or somthing. They're all MP3 so u can whack them all straight onto your iPod/Walkman :)

[tomllama2]

@Colakills nope, you can use a youtube converter to grab the audio from this video. try youtube-mp3[dot]org or video2mp3[dot]com. (:

[Doomside]

@Colakills You can probably find it online with some effort. That's true with almost all soundtracks.

[vblast]

this is also played somewhere in 24 S03E08, when Jack confronts salazar brothers.

[WaterLines333]

I think I herd this used on a show on the Discovery Channle, History, or NatGeo. Can't renmber which.

[iliev93]

this was used in an NBA video

[ObamaFansAreIgnorant]

watch?v=BRzQxmKA6dk go to 3:57 in the video at this link, and it is exactlly the same as the first part of this video. Random huh?

[GLuGGycOw]

this song is in so many movies and tv shows its wiered

[naaaaaagz]

i love this. a masterpiece.

[TheFluktuationAcht]

This is simply superb - it's so inspiring when you're building a city. It fits perfectly.

[lukebray]

Why does it sound as good when I'm not playing Sim City??

[Tolli13]

God bless VBackseatRomeoV.

[MrSperminator69]

nice sounds

[TheSkyHMaestro]

The opening riff makes me think of revolutionaries gathering around a burning capital building at night. (i.e., what will probably happen in Egypt)

.... and....sort of happened to me in one of my cities. Don't ask. Just don't.

[mywifesafag]

@TheSkyHMaestro what happened?

[TheSkyHMaestro]

@mywifesafag I decided to play dictator really. I used a cheat to get my finances to over $40,000,000 (my fingers ached for days). Then I hiked taxes up to damning levels, built dozens of dumps, coal, and nuclear plants in city limits, neglected to build hospitals and schools except in the most sparse places, and created a distinct "upper class" section of my city. Then I blew all 40 mil' on monuments and started a fire at a City Hall building.

At about negative $100,000, I was kicked out.

[latteanka]

@TheSkyHMaestro

Now that you say it, i think of the beginning as demonstrators rioting against a dictator, takes over control of the country, and is faced with all the problems of cityplanning that the dictator didn't care about. In the end, the country becomes a bustling world empire.

[alancb395]

The crazy thing about this song is that a tv show based on ghost hunting used the first 25 seconds of this song as the tv show's intro theme. :O

[DJB747]

@alancb395 Check out Floating Population :-) (the one VBackseatRomeoV posted)

[TheManofthefuture101]

I love this it reminds me of so many things in my mind

[idonotwastenames]

the beginning reminds me of power outtage everywhere in my city xDD

[ROLNIKxPL]

the beginnig sounds a little like half life

[TheManofthefuture101]

@ROLNIKxPL

Actually both EA and VALVe work together because their both company Partners

(Example of partnership: Left 4 Dead series)

[jpnarino]

This song is SOOO amazing. I dont enjoy videogames as before, but the music of this videogame is among the best I've ever heard for a videogame (with Chronotrigger).

[boredomskingdom]

@jpnarino Same with me :D I love to watch people playing videogames but hate to play them, but I enjoy the soundtracks of different games, for example SimCity :D

[Ezldor]

Best thing about the game IS the music

[batosato]

why can't EA make a remastered edition of this MASTERPIECE and removes the glitches....I assure you EA, this will beat DEAD SPACE's record....

[Dutchguyable]

where can you dowload this?

[stocadg]

i cant describe ...

[MisterBlue92]

@Mattishere5555 Thats what is always reminded me of, I love this track.

[n0608039]

MY FAV ONE!

[bloodred32567]

Most Haunted Live FTW

[newneonova]

why the hell wasn't this on the official soundtrack

[lifevest1]

Music Visual Time:

Beginning - 00:25. An army of contractors, builders, electricians, plumbers in their trucks rushing toward an empty spot to build a city.

00:25 - 00:41 they begin breaking ground

00:42 - 2:06 small buildings (less than 5 stories) are being put up, the city contiues to grow.

2:07 - 3:28 larger builds (more than 20 stories) are being put up

3:28 - 3:45 tower cranes are brought in and at 3:37 Skyscrapers begin to go up

3:45 - beyond = the city continues growing

[CrtlAltDlt]

It seems like a mix between Tribal / Electronic / Ambient / industrial / AMAZING :D

[reimusho]

best track

[SkuyaHamilton]

simcity4 with no doubt in my mind has the best soundtrack of any video game in the world.

[Swampertdude56]

I definitely heard the intro piece in a TV show once. Sim City 4 music is so influential that it's being used for other forms of media - now tell me another video game music soundtrack that has done better than that.

[HomiesOfMars]

I heard this sound treak on a TV show one....i dont know how it got there.....

[OriginalLemming]

Highly underrated game. I absolutely LOVED the Simcity series.

I've never seen Maxis flop on it.

[1993TRS1]

I just heard this song on an episode of 24! It's on season 3 and the episode is 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM. It's at the part where Jack is telling the Salazars about the virus.

[Kpspen]

@dragongirl66 it is on there

[TheMightyAtomNL]

What the heck! I've just heard this song playing (well, the first 5-10 seconds of it) in the background on a show called Against the Elements on the Discovery Channel.

What the hell.

What does that mean? Who is the original author of this song? Maxis or the creators of the show?

Oh there it is again! Looks like it's only the first 10 seconds of this track that they're playing in the background.

This is weird. It blows my mind, why would some random show on DC use a track from a PC game?

[Ryuuji14]

@TheMightyAtomNL Their record label is done by apm music apmmusic.com/myapm/main.php for ea section.

[Menolifee]

@TheMightyAtomNL This guy composed songs to this game (not 100% sure about this one) is also doing songs to commericals and stuff , why not Discovery channel.

[HomiesOfMars]

@TheMightyAtomNL Yea dude i know what you mean!!!

its so freaky!

[Bloodflooder]

@TheMightyAtomNL There's another song "Terrain" whose beginning was used on the "Bullet Curving" episode of Mythbusters!!

[TehCheezBurgrz]

@Bloodflooder Dude, i just saw that episode..woah.

[SmoothJazzMan95]

Ive heard this song on a lot of TV series. I wrote a song inspierd by this one.

[IEatCum]

@skullpeng LOL, this song does that. Insane cravings to play it every few months and then after building a city you're like meh and level the fucker.

[Flyboys243]

My favorite part is at 3:24 to 3:27

[bibiedf]

@Flyboys243 : And my at 0:01 to 6:04

[all0in01]

Good music for a simulation of "Life After People" at the beginning.

[resilienceman]

this would be a wicked song to the 2010 south africa world cup

[MrCombineGuy]

I've NEVER heard a maxis game with this kind of music, fucking awesome!

[davidbesir]

what a band is it????

i mean who play it??

[Besateswarrior]

@davidbesir some guy payed by Electronic Arts

[nervismoreno]

ey guys.. anybody knows who plays those guitars parts ? wich song ? originally .. pls.

[BrenTank1996]

Love the part 2:33! It sounds a bit like the Titanic song and the rest of the song has the drums like you are in a jungle. True Masterpiece!

[NiceGuy1130]

Where can I buy this song?

[davidbesir]

buy simcity 4 and go to the user files / music

theres is it!

[JuanMamaril]

@NiceGuy1130 you can download it for free at EA Games' SIMCity 4 homepage :)

[SuperStan63]

I like this music

[adffq]

I love this song!

inspires me and makes me think of great things about humanity and technology progress and progressive

we've had!.

is a good song!

[Luciferminusone]

@adffq and how technology is going to be used against us and enslave us. :p

[8mat8ijn]

@adffq That's the exact same feeling I get from t his great song!

[lifevest1]

HEY PEOPLE!

A few days ago I was watching a show called "Two Weeks in Hell" about Green Berets, and they had this in here! I was so amazed!!!!

[Swampertdude56]

@lifevest1 I saw that too! I was on a ski trip and I had come back from the day, to find this on the TV. I was so tickled, but my friends didn't get it. Oh well. xD

[alonemanforever2]

the best music for me

[myshup]

this song makes me want to play sc4

[Winters96]

my favorite song in the game. that is why i am about to play this game right now...

[Mink105]

I love SC4 and this is the best song in the whole game! It does flow well and the beginning is great. My favorite part is 3:36 it combines most parts of the song. I love it!!!!=)=)

[VoilaMsViola]

Great piece of music - BRILLIANTLY put together. :) Gives me chills every time I hear it.

[ChristianDiMaria]

But why is the song so creepy at the beggining? It sounds like it should be in a horror movie...

[ChristianDiMaria]

Sounds sort of like Mercs 2 at the beggining. Great Song, I love the flute part!

[Swampertdude56]

2:54 - 3:45

It just flows so well...LOVE that drum effect...

The whole song is awesome though, easily one of my top favorites.

[hacibaba00]

best sim city song...

[masterstghm]

If you ever watched the NOVA program "Origins" you can here this song in the intro.

[thegeekcalledpossum]

Best one of them all. Also my ringtone. Well the first 30 seconds of it

[dofbg]

hey were I can download the song I love it

[Swampertdude56]

If you have the game just go to the music folder, it's calling your name. ;p

[hacibaba00]

i deleted the game many many years ago and i didn't find this song on the internet. can you send it to my email?

[JuanMamaril]

@hacibaba00 you can get it free at EA Games' SIMCity 4 homepage, just go there & download it yourself.

[lewlew12345]

SAME!

[ttony33]

me too...

I am add to my favorites

[Ratkill9000]

Really kickass song. Hey is Maxis coming out with a new Sim City game or not? Cause i fucking hate the Sims family games

[Pilanus]

Will Wright Left Maxis, so It is highly unlikely that any new Sim games will come out of that studio. If they do, they will be either expansion packs to old games, or not nearly as good without WW behind the wheel.

But the closest thing we can hope for the future of the city building genre is Cities XL, which looks to have massive improvements over Sim city 4.

I still have to say that Sim city 3000 was my favorite of the series.

[txxmario]

i love this song

[Whitburn08]

2:08 into it....

[Whitburn08]

If you have the game - there is a folder with the music in it... :-)

[TheRealSiguy]

"Mediocre game"

Is that a joke?

[Stele007]

If you go into your Sim City 4 folder, go to \Radio\Stations\Mayor\Music. This song is labelled SC4m17.mp3

[Ratkill9000]

Hey where do you go to turn off all disasters for Sim City 4? I can find to where to turn off the auto-go to disasters but not to the full turn off.

[NameInFlame]

I love the SC4 music. Where did you get hold of it? I've been to the downloads section of the sim city website but they only have the rush hour music and sc3000 music available. :(

[ebonifragaria]

If you have the game, all the music is somewhere in the SC4 files, in the form of mp3's. I forget which one it is exactly, but I remember that it's not too hard to find. :D

[kim4597]

this is the most cool song! :)

[cheesecakeNL]

lol , i have heard this in a program on discovery channel. Simcity4 music is getting bigger.

[terrellrob333]

good song

[JohnDXCenaHas2Words]

it feels matched when you listen this song in a rural place then urban area in a panoramic view.

[Simsfanguy]

3rd Best Song Also It Feels Like The Right Song When Your In Your City

[BogdaNO88]

I love this song!

[sealpointmm]

This song, along with Epicenter, ElectriCity and Metropolis, are composed by The Humble Brothers. Apparently they sell the CD of these songs on their website :)

[dammitdexter]

You can buy the albums and individual songs on iTunes too.

[rixille]

This song was on the Universe on Parallel Universes! I heard it!

[buccos2324]

Okay has anyone here seen 24 Season 3??

I think the intro of this video is used in the beginning of one of the earlier episodes.

I'm not sure which one, but if your familiar with Sim City 4 and watch season 3, you'll recognize it immediately. Its amazingly similar, if not the same. I advise EA Games to sue.

Just kidding, I love 24 and would be heartbroken to see that happen.

Maybe EA Games could use the money to make a new Sim City, better than that Societies junk.

[Thetaquo]

I've also heard this on Man vs Wild (Siberian Taiga)

[RodrigoArg17]

YES! I knew I couldn't be the only to have noticed it!

I sooo remember watching one episode of 24 season 3 and when I heard this theme I was like "woh.. wait a second.." and I think about that everytime I hear it.

I think they played it at the end of the episode though, but it's nice to see someone else noticed it =]

[buccos2324]

It wasnt identical to this, but VERY similar.

[CubedDirective]

2:26 to 2:55 always makes me think of Titanic for some reason.

[DigiTan000]

You too?

[CubedDirective]

Yup, probably because its similar to the music in the film

[DigiTan000]

The hell...? Some mook just gave me -1 for agreeing!

Well ,anyway... [see also "Titanic Ending Credits" video]

[machineunit]

It always made me think of Ireland. But now that you mention it, it really does sound like something from Titanic lol.

[Thetaquo]

REminds me of my Irish friends too!

[myshup]

aww, everytime i hear this song i want to play sc4. ea soundtracks rules

[ATIrules]

everytime i start a new city this song is the first to play =D

[pygmyshrew84]

does EA know most haunted keep pinching their music!?? :P its no scary, i just think of Sims whenever I hear it :)

[lampardgirl1990]

used in most haunted live last week. great tune for the first 10 seconds

[VBackseatRomeoV]

I'm sorry this has been happening on my videos.

[WcHDICE]

ok com n get me then
