Simcity 4 Music - Electric City

[Staffenburg]

When I first played this, I was fairly young. Being in grade school, the micro management felt like I became an all powerful being. I stayed up as late as I could, customizing every part of the city of the future.

To this day, Sc200 and Sc3000 really don't attract me, they seem waay too simple.

[patsprankcalls]

Awsome song

[SuperWesty177]

@Sahuagin lol there good mate but ive out played 2 and 3 and sc4 wasnt working but then i realised the setting was to low put them up game ran like a beast yea yea fav game pc platform amazing mainly coz of mods

[maxonian23]

Whoever disliked this prefers Simcity Societies to SC4! >:[

[Sahuagin]

this song is awesome, but do people really like SimCity 4 more than SimCity 2 and 3? (2000 and 3000)

IMO SimCity 3000 > SimCity 2000 >>>> Sim City 4

[Foxpawed]

@Sahuagin IMO, SimCity 2000 was the best, because it had the best balance of mechanics to things to do. I tried 4, and there was just too much micromanagemental bullcrap. :P I don't want to have to run it like a real city, I want to be able to reliably make 10x6 grids forever! :V

[billtang79]

Dude, thanks for uploading all the Sim City songs, Brings back Memories it does.

[CedricP91]

4 people didn't reach 1'000 inhabitants =)

[whattheheck1000]

@CedricP91 heh heh, i've reached 1,080,937 lol... LIKE (:

[RyanGerbil10]

The end of this song is haunting. The entire composition seems to refer to a bustling metropolis, but those last few bars recall a country highway; a lone truck stop, tumbleweeds, and a 65 mph speed limit under a dark night sky.

[hhhat09]

@RyanGerbil10 Like as though all of this was a dream, and the Truck Stop's owner is sitting outside, staring at what will be the city...........

[masilya111]

@PsychoticLoner ...and Darkspore !

[Tennouki]

this song sounds like techno from BT

[CertifictJones]

@Tennouki Techno? Nah, this is Acid Trance/break mystic could 9 type of shit, futuristic, I just love it.

[MagliaFluorescente]

This reminds me soooooo many memories! :')

[cantdeny1]

This reminds me of how a city prepares for a Monday Night football game - you know showing the best of their city and jazzing it all up.

[conquers59]

the beginning sounds like "Epicenter" but arppegiated

[TheHunter7860]

Didnt find it in itunes 

[frydo32]

sandbox mod sent me here

[MrMarkingston]

@frydo32 zzzzzzzzz wua oh

[MrPokemon493]

I thought it was Event Horizon by The Humble Brothers.

[moonkinomg]

воруй, убивай, еби гусей.

[SilkyMuggs]

This song reminds me of looking to my left..where my copy of Sim city 4 is.. feeling more distraught each passing moment I listen to this song.. I can't take it anymore, going to play! Ty for the inspiration beautiful music!

[CaptianTGA]

5,000,000,000,000,000 Stars to this Song Best song in SimCity 4!

[thesims2n3fan]

@CaptianTGA I very much agree!

[0022acc]

Mirror's Edge 2 soundtrack.

[GameReviews267]

I actually own Simcity 2,3 and 4 on CD-ROM... Yeah.

[Piterologia]

my fav song from SC4 ;)

[sormii]

Best song of the great piece of a game. Usually you hear this jazzy shit in city builder/simulator games but this is really enjoyable song itself.

[Eazei]

This is my background music while playing minecraft. The game may have changed, but it still makes me want to build stuff.

[desmo313]

@Eazei

awesome idea. thx for that 

[Luciferminusone]

This music actually calms me down as I am very angry and bitter (Though I try to hide it from others) and I wish I knew why as I don't have any unresolved childhood issues but I am so angry I enjoy hurting myself.

[12992]

@Luciferminusone dude chill out, smoke a bowl

[MercMaster101]

@Luciferminusone

I assume the Devil's got a hold of you. Your name does have "Lucifer" in it. He's making you miserable =(

[jacko622]

Sandbox theme.

[PersianPaladin]

brilliant

[Peviclm]

I just have 1thing to say: oiawjnviaduhfbiajkhgiauh!!!

THIS IS F%$"ING AWESOME!! If anyone knows more musics like that, id like to know XD

[Krzysiek0182]

best in the game

[Cocytus127]

oh wait I was right... WEEEEE ALCOHOL

[Cocytus127]

er CS4

[Cocytus127]

Makes me wanna dig up my copy of SC4 and reinstall it!

[arup02]

This music is awfully familiar... I''ve heard it somewhere.

[adarshk7]

My rankings:

1. ElectriCITY

2. Oasis

3. Rush Hour, Street Sweeper and By The Bay (tie here)

Jerry Martin Rocks and so does Maxis!!!

[Kindofshyness]

One thing I have ALWAYS loved about The Sims and Simcity is the music. The style always changes, they had like an endless amount of musical genres to cover in The Sims. It is just crazy what they had to do...

[sims2productionmovie]

And wiil wright must be a billionare! He did the sims 2, the sims, the sims 3, simcity 4, and simcity 3000! what a champ!

[Simsfanguy]

@sims2productionmovie

He did: Simcity, Simcity 2000, Simcity 3000, All Sim games (Simant, Simearth etc). The Sims, The Sims 2, Simcity 4, All Sims expansions for The sims 1 and 2. And Raid on bungelling bay, (his first game).

[PsychoticLoner]

@Simsfanguy

Don't forget Spore!

[sims2productionmovie]

Such memories and such sad songs, I think i'm crying right now. Why did I stop playing that game!?! why!

[rachelricottone]

I have the CD's for this game but I lost the code thing to download it! :(

I'm going to get the deluxe version for Steam though :)

[Jonte135]

Is it possible to have a larger map than the one you have from the beginning?

[misterman111222]

@Jonte135 no, but there's a largest one... sim city 4 is meant to be played like a region, not a single city

[gleefanatic2011]

SIMCITY 4 DELUXE EDITION IS THE BEST!!!! i miss playing this game and now i am looking for it to play it again after searching on youtube and listening to these songs! Thank you! :D

[Breadbug240]

This is one of the best songs that exist.

[TheManofthefuture101]

Wierd i never heard this one before

[BobYTName]

The beginning reminds me of Marble Blast Ultra on XBLA

[d1an45]

i barely heard this song shen i used to play this when i was 7

[buechsenwurschd]

the most powerful song in sc4!!

[hookyboysb]

Pocketful of Sunshine sounds like the beginning of this, just less "glitchy".

[trecool9992]

I love the bass sound when it hits 1:10

[trecool9992]

Wish I could double like

[ForceTrekkie]

Like this is you think that guy is an attention whore, double like if you see the obvious hypocrisy in this message.

[cqrx760]

and btw it's by Humble Brothers

[RoyCostasimgeek]

1:10 rocks so hard!!!!

[VandolphVibar09]

this song plays when your city IS ALL WITH POWER!

[olip96]

Btw, the real name of this song is ElectriCITY

[CaptianTGA]

@olip96 your right ;)

[wstshine]

1:40 - 2:20 could easily go into an Unreal Tournament game. This is a great song for a successful city.

[PieMoe]

And aside from that the gameplay sucks!

[PieMoe]

Societies sucks. It doesn't even have alot of disasters! All we can do is make it rain!

[Hellamar]

gr8

[Hellamar]

gr8

[Logo3801]

dude this is the menu music to sandboxmod for BF2!!!!

[pizza571]

@Logo3801 It appers in SC4 and BF2.

[Blacklist15Razor]

my fav sc4 songs are this one, terrain, and rush hour

[1RULER11]

this is my favrote song in sim city 4.

[TheOtium]

This game has the best music out of any I've ever played.

[Leafiafan]

This song...not sure what it about it, but I can easily picture it as being a theme song for any of my novels. It just has that kind of heroic, action-filled appeal to it.

[simcity4rocks]

i hate societes

[latteanka]

In the beginning, i think of a spaceship flying in a tree-filled canyon at mach 15...

[gewehr421]

This sounds like music from Need for Speed III or Porsche Unleashed or something. haha. It's gotta be Rom di Prisco!

[afrikan1942]

Love the sog,with Oasis and Artica best song in game.

[SpassMacher2000]

greatest soundtrack of any game

[pedrotime]

The only PC game you will ever need.

[Surachatjwk]

From my opinion, cities xl is currently has the best graphic simulation games but simcity 4 is still the best in realism simulation...

[all0in01]

I hate the super sized cities. They are WAY to big for me to fill.

[skullpeng]

i wish there was an unlimited money option like giant 2 :(. giant 2's soundtrack and game expirence is nowhere as good as sc4.

[BrenTank1996]

GREAT SONG! I listen to this in my Sim City every weekend! Have been trying to find this song forever! COOL!

[pizza571]

Sim City 4 as the last good game of the series..

[SuperStan63]

Futuristisch :) very good

[spiderrobot7788]

this is the bf2 sandbox mod menu theme also

[fortstudios]

i like the game, but i have grown out of it, but not from this song, and oasis, my favorites

[Kredeidi]

Why doesnt this game come back anymore? :(

[Pilot853]

how do you know the names of the songs?

[TehCheezBurgrz]

in the game, you can select the songs by a menu. so the names are there.

[darkshread23]

TOO MUCH AWESOMENESS i love this game, this song, long live SIM CITIEZ SERIES

[Electricspaceodyssey]

to bad EA bought out maxis and just recently laid off ALL of maxis' staff (and is currently helping them find new employment) and keeping spore alive while effectively destroying maxis - also will wright left maxis not to long ago as well.

[darkshread23]

that suckz, im one of the many others waiting for sim city 5 which will most likely never come...

[Deunel]

great music for a great game !

[YuliTee]

One of the best in-game soundtracks.

[sotomaino]

I like this song.

[dragongirl66]

I LOVE THIS SONG! Techno music ftw.

[HaroldDeKumba]

Amazing song for time-lapse video.

[SuperHoboPirateNinja]

It' s "ElectriCITY," by the way.

[wegotthatindo]

its weird a game like this would have suck a good soundtrack

[shevah2]

the game is awsome...ur point?

[Leafiafan]

I can imagine this as a theme song for some epic hero movie!

[Swampertdude56]

If you were to ask me a week ago I'd say I hate this song, but now I can't stop listening to it.

Nerd alert, I listen to it every day on the bus ride to school and between periods. x3 It's fitting though, surprisingly.

[imperia777]

very good game and very good soundtrack. best tune.

[dwarfflesh]

in sims two if you go to the radio and techno, this song is called banana blaster i think

[hungaryrulz]

Best song!

[ThisIsWhiteRen]

amazing tune

[TheEvansontop]

My city is almost all housing projects

[kozer1000hehe]

acid tune

[Sitec]

Simcity 4 is pretty much the best version of the Simcity series.

[MasterPlayer09]

Correction: It is the best in the series.

[bcrscahh198987]

I wish they added a programmable mayor. You don't have to fiddle around with sliders all the time, but can program your "mayor" to perform certain tedious task while you worry about much more interesting things.

[democrat10]

Dispatching fire trucks being the foremost among those "things" :)

[Szgerle]

Or make your advisors actually useful instead of being whining crybabies.

[gabrielfoleiss]

@MasterPlayer09 No arguing there. It is definitely the best in the series. Too bad Will Wright left Maxis (EA), so this 10 year old game (it will be 10 in september) will be the last good simcity.

[GodBlessedVideo2]

@gabrielfoleiss But Will Wright didn't cooperate or anything with SC4, the last SimCity game he worked on was SC3000, SC4 was not under his charge as the previous games.

[ddh767]

a really dificult game but really good i have the deluxe edition

[grenadier86]

awesome

[Braindestructor]

rly cool game

[CrtlAltDlt]

how much does this game cost in USD?

[nerfherders123]

$35-25?

depends where you look.

[CrtlAltDlt]

lol if its 25$ then thats like, 20$ is the music

[WarGuerrila]

i bought deluxe edition off ebay for $12, It was scratched up at all and it was new still wrapped up.

[snijbone]

it was scratched up.. and it was new..??

it were flames and it was fire.. lol x)

[cooldit1]

isnt the song actually ElectriCity. Like what powers our commodities.

[pizza571]

Best song of all Sim City series.

[Starfflame214]

I agree. This song's also on the new Mod Sandbox 1.0 for Bf2 for main menu music

[RichnerDK]

How come there's always someone who wrote a comment short time ago when I check the comments to a SimCity video.. rather.. frightening :S

[andrea111292]

The greatest videogame ever. And this song gives me memories of Rush Hour :)

[technologic21]

with enough demand from avid fans like us, sc5 could be a reality

[UnrealKazu]

Too bad that Will Wright has left Maxis to continue with his own studio. I don't think we'll ever see a decent sequel to SC4...

[MisterTissueBox]

Well there is CitiesXL. I think that'll be a true sequel, even though it's an "MMO".

[TheRealSiguy]

Spiritual sequel. It's unlikely a true sequel will ever come, not with EA owning Maxis anyway. Still looking forward to XL though.

[stss2TV]

Really, its my favorite song on SC4, =), and i like to download SC4, SCS its boooring

[shevah2]

i still play simcity, i have the album too

[Rodriquez124]

My fav Sim City 4 track, really catched the mood of a big city perfectly.

[vXxo0oxXv]

@Simsfanguy SimCity 4 reigns the genre

[failtolawl]

@Simsfanguy so I have to click thumbs down and up?

[Simsfanguy]

@failtolawl Yes

And Holy Shit 85 Thumbs Up O.e

[failtolawl]

@Simsfanguy lol you weren't really paying attention to it xD

[Simsfanguy]

@failtolawl lol xD

[Simsfanguy]

Right If You Think Jerry Martin Composer

Of The Best And Only Simcity 4 Is Better

Give Me Thumbs Up Next To My Message

If You Think The Composer Of City Life Is

Better "Boo" Give Thumbs Down

[maxonian23]

This has to be one of the all time great from SC4. One of my personal favs too.

[Simsfanguy]

Right If You Think Societes Is Better Than Simcity Give Me Thumbs Down

And If You Think Simcity 4 Is Better (Obviously) Then Give Me Thumbs Up!

Its Next To My Message Its Not That Hard

[JohnBigOz94]

@Simsfanguy Sim City Societies is more about designing a NEIGHBORHOOD, not a city! Sim City 4/3000 is more about designing a city, I always struggled with Sim City 4 or 3000, it more the money problem, but Sim City Socities was easier when you had uNlimited simoleons, but you had bigger freedom of creativity, so I can't give u thumbs down or up :P

[Simsfanguy]

2nd Best Song. Eplincer Is A Bit Better. It Feels More Relaxing. Actually Maybe Both Are Great I Love Intro Bit And From 2:52 To3:23 With That Solo Part

[Simsfanguy]

I Want A Soundtrack Of The Song Its So Good

[maxonian23]

You can get it from iTunes, I think...

[GamingRetard]

favourite song off sim city 4...wish it was in creator..

[Dethlicon]

You can put it in creator mode by copying it into the right file. You'll have to go into program files on your HD and find SC4 then find the music files. pretty simple process.

[Simcity4k]

Im tempted to dance to this... i think ill bring a cd of this to the club ^^

[starwarsguy9]

With the &fmt=18 High Quality trick this sounds even more amazing

[plahenry1]

i didnt like number 5, simcity 4 is truly classic.

[qwertdr]

There is no no. 5.

You only assume it's no. 5, but it isn't.

[plahenry1]

i meant Simcity Societies

[GalacticKnight]

He knows you were.

He also knows that Societies doesn't exist.

[hirsty186]

do u know how 2 put your own music on coz id really like ma own music

[JJ2x7]

AWSOME

[Geffukt]

The music really immersed me in the game. All-round so well done.

[LilJayIsGood]

This is a very great song :)

[techdude145]

actually, the name is electriCITY, not electric city. But still a good song. :)
