Radiohead - Pyramid Song (8bit sound)

[lukeguy97]

This could've been the castle music in Mario.

[thegreathistorian7]

Like fighting a gym full of missingos

[ginger89kid]

I want this to be played at my funeral.

[magnumopusdedeus]

@ginger89kid i thought of that as well! its the perfect burial music...

[TETTSUUO]

THIS SHIT IS HYSTERICAL....THAT HIGH PITCHED SYNTH IS MAKIN' ME PISS MY PANTS.....I THOUGHT I WAS ON ON TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE FOR A SEC........DID I JUST BEAT METAL GEAR 1?....WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

[SeanneryConnery]

@TETTSUUO lol yeah i read your comment before teh squeal started. hell ya that is funny shit lmao

[Vininn126]

I wish I could make a mp3 player that converted tracks into 8bit so I could listen to this over and over again

[StudioScarecrow]

someone should make a video game with these 8-bit radiohead songs as the soundtrack

Everything in its Right Place would be the opening screen music :D

[gearlockT]

this gives off a metroid 1 vibe.

[DeeBassist95]

This is Radiohead's final boss theme.

[miteyboosh23]

Its the long lost Pyramid Gym on Pokemon Gold : P

[BeachBallEffect]

This would fit PERFECTLY in Double Dragon 3!

[kyletheenigma]

The sound a game would make when you died. :D

[srmpenedo]

@kyletheenigma Try to put it in Legend of Zelda, it would be AMAZING :D

[eribani]

Is there anything that DOESN'T sound good in 8-bit? This is so awesome.

[kalikism]

fuck yes

[southsidesman]

Excellent!!! Really good. Might be the best 8-bit translated song I've heard.

[prehistoricmaze]

amNESiac

[renzudoku]

METROID :D

[antisadism]

Sounds like snake charming song.

[Anjiruu]

@arenasefi Bro. It's in 4/4 with 8 measure phrasing. Trust me, my mind was blown when I found out.

[thetwentyfourth]

@Anjiruu This is oft debated. It can be counted in 4/4, but the consistent and repeating rhythmic pattern is not well represented as the wrong downbeats are implied. Splitting it into 5/4 3/4 bars for instance would imply the correct downbeats. Neither approach is incorrect, nor are they the only options. As a composer I lean towards notating things in a way which conveys the rhythm and intended downbeats as explicitly as possible, so I would use alternating 5/4 3/4 bars if transcribing.

[Anjiruu]

@thetwentyfourth True, but changing the count tends to make me lose track of where I'm at, mainly because I can't figure out the pattern of 5/4 and 3/4, so it's easier for me to keep the count at a constant 4.

[kaisqais]

Man, this shit is scary in 8bit they should use it in Splatterhouse or something.

*shivers*

[arenasefi]

Imagine if Gannondorf's movement pattern was to this song.

You could never figure him out!

[ace88480]

epic, playing zelda to this

[seanmitchell88]

@ace88480 thats exactly what i thought of when i heard it

[srmpenedo]

@ace88480 I posted about it without reading your post... incredible, it fits perfectly to Zelda :)

[MAUR1C1OX]

this makes me feel like a kid again.

[IsilionNELE]

8 bit rules!!

they should make games with such music again

contemporary games are nice, but the games from the 80s-90s are the best :)

(and cartoons as well. thundercats HOOOOOO)

[lifeinsepia]

This needs to be on castlevania. I would have been shitting my self for the whole game if it had.

[psychalonica]

like playing with my sega master system....amazing tune though!

[lestersole]

I love that theramin sounding noise. :D

[sovietsentinel]

sounds like what the dark world pyramid in A Link to the Past should sound like. =D

[lalo6437]

i agree out there. Music for a funeral

[Lauzofil]

Perfect!

[SimMaster]

sounds like im fighting the Elite four in pokemon

[obriensimo]

rocks

[protonmonkey]

This song would fit in a graveyard level. Or maybe an outer space level.

[OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth]

An incredibly hard song to cover, what with all the syncopated timing, but you did this 8-bit perfectly.

[arghcodie]

Sweet.

[jrajesse]

No matter the delivery, Radiohead's songs are timeless.  Great job!!

[dave8pie]

Z.E.L.D.A.

[lord2313]

what's the use of destroying a desolated music?this music impersonates the despair that afflicts me, the piano should not be profaned, the amnesia should not be disturbed!

[TehWinnerz]

either you have no sense of humour or you are trolling in which case you have a half decent sense of humour. Hmm. I wonder which!

[lord2313]

@TehWinnerz

trolling??

[ReferencePoints]

Could be used in Pokemon Red final battle.

[skrollan]

shroom music

[hxzxxl]

metroid?

[mrgreg707]

would be a good Metroid soundtrack... my first thought was Final Fantasy I (8-bit Nintendo)

[codessatexas]

I like the 8 bit world.

[punkjazz88]

Siiiick!!!!

[gabito87]

this tune gives me shivers, even in 8 bit

[tommasosciotto]

What are you using exactly? I'd love to know

[fenderacolyte]

damn beautiful, even in 8 bit.

[z3ro111]

woah... you know what i just realized. If these songs are good in 8-bit then what about old 8-bit music remade with actual instruments? Then again im sure people have done that

[altable]

you should check out smas brothers brawl soundtrack. its has a lot of remade clasic nintendo tracks. very cool

[anoteoftruth]

I take back any comment I put on here before about this being good, and replace it with "ALL OF YOUR 8-BIT COVERS ARE FUCKING AMAZING"... I love this idea so much. And, I would die to play mario or zelda with this.

[altable]

woaw!! nice idea, and execution

great tune

[asleepMS2]

dang. i came across this by chance. great shite.

[elpidiosa]

Great stuf, nice idea !

[cslevine]

Ohlàààaaa j'adoore !

y'a même l'imitation du timbre G des Ondes Martenot !

[drryangibbons]

Did you use the Peach VST?

[n8phin]

I can't say for sure, but it sounds like he might be using an actual NES sequencer rather than a VST plugin.

[alexiszbik]

Exactly that sound like a old music from Final Fantasy ( sound of a castle or of a dream, something like that ).

Really nice.

But using the voice of Thom Yorke in 8 bit could be nice, but I know it's difficult to got it ...

[cottoncandyaddict]

lol it does sound like final fantasy! yea it sounds like a castle level. the room before the level gets harder and the music changes to a more aggressive sound.

[mrgreg707]

This version could so have been in my 8-bit Nintendo Final Fantasy I game... awesome!!!

[seeyalaterrr]

hahaha so good!!

[screenager12]

Really great stuff. You should try doing bodysnatchers :P would be pretty interesting

[shigurui]

Awsome!
