Wow, it really is a step up from runescape's I like it ^.^.

This is Great! Thanks Jagex. It looks like MechScape will have better sound quality then RuneScape. Like MC I was afraid that MechScape would have similar music/music quality to RuneScape, but I don't have to worry any more.

Wow that music was so calming. :)

I've been very confident about MechScape having a great soundtrack and I was right. smile.gif
I love the Industrial genre influence in there.
CelestialDawn
Very nice, makes me believe even more how i think this game will be.... OWNAGE

are those words they saying in the song, like in a robo or one of the races language... idk if it is thats cool or maybe im just hearing things either way A+

*EDIT: at least we know this is ACTUALLY from the game itself so yall dont gotta argue about how it could just be something blah blah blah yall know the arguments about the art and stuff lol banana.gif

I doubt this is an ingame song.

It's just like the music from the RS Trailer they have - it sounds better, but isn't featured ingame.

Still. It sounds rather nice.
subzero
Sounds nice, yeah..just wonder if those words in the music have any meaning..or are they words? (anything reversed ? :D)
Rick Astley
It's so calm and spacy, I love it.

Can't wait for the game!!!!

This is how we know that this is an in-game music track.
Shufflestorm
This is excellent news. So glad for Jagex to have chosen MechScape World as the Fansite to receive this great teaser.

I really like it. It's calm and is definately fitting to the Sci-Fi Genre that MechScape will be modelled around. Great work Jagex! happy.gif

Can't wait for MechScape to be released!
Depth
Hmm, sounds like I'll actually have the music on while playing MechScape, refreshing =).
whovian39
Interesting... not what i was expecting, correct me if i'm wrong but isn't there also a song called new beginnings on runescape?
Daniel
Nice!

It was definately composed with software. Sounds like something FL Studio or Reason would produce.

Would have been nice to hear some deeper hardware sounds like John Stanford's Sea of Tranquility, but I'm not complaining, this track is leaps and bounds better than any Jagex have produced before.

Heh, I'm liking the video Ren :P
Insanitosis
Sounds nice, be good for a city area
Wege
Just what we needed happy.gif

This is a beautifull piece of music Jagex, I'm sure we all appreciate it happy.gif
Ren
Woo, we've been tweeted again:
"What does the future sound like? MechScapeWorld have an audio track from the forthcoming #Jagex MMO. Follow this link: http://bit.ly/7QP0K" (source)

Regarding my thoughts on the music: I really like the composition and makes me very excited. Furthermore I love that it feels like a full composition and not just a well-sequenced MIDI. It sounds really atmospheric and futuristic, and I can just imagine being on a space base with dark flickering lights while this song is playing. This song has that cool futuristic eerie techno cyber feel to it, but I'm guessing that the game will have a variety of styles depending on where you are. I wonder if each species will have their own genre of music, with for example the Mechs having this type of music and maybe the Pliigi having more earthy music with perhaps some woodwind and drums. If there is a big mix and all are of this calibre then I definitely wouldn't mind buying a soundtrack for it if it was sold as MP3. Anyway, thanks again to Jagex and thumbs up to the unidentified composer.

Sounds good. Reminds me of some of the music from Tiberian Sun
ProMetaAnaTelo

The music was great and now I am even more excited! You did a great job on the video REN. I can't wait!!!

If you are talking about the second better trailer. It's actually a song from WGS.
Psioptics
Bloody marvellous! This is quite literally exactly what I hoped MechScape's music would sound like (or at least what one aspect of the music would sound like). If the in-game musical roster matches the compositional and audio quality of that track then I'm sold already.

Btw, great editing on the vid Ren. :)
TechnoBulldog
Wow, this is amazing! I've definitely never heard anything like it! Now I really can't wait until MechScape comes out!

The music itself sort of paints a picture in my head. It starts with a large, damaged, and abandoned space craft found in the middle of space. The group who found it decides to board it to see if they can salvage any of the parts or equipment. Then around 3:10 or so in the song, they discover why the damaged ship was abandoned. Whatever the reason may be, they make a mad dash to escape with their lives. Whether or not they escape I do not know...

The high quality music makes me wonder if MechScape will work on my internet connection. This piece of music was only 5mb or so, but it took me a minute or so to download, and MechScape will likely include hundreds of different tracks. Should I be worried?


W00t first post!
peyronies
Reminds me of the Starcraft BG music... I guess they're doing a good job. :p
alphawolf700
I like it! The electronic sounds remind me of transformers
ecto
This is a huge step up from the RS soundtrack. I look forward to hearing the other songs in game.

speechless,
that really got me captivated
Amazing work there Ren.

Nope; 5MB is probably nothing compared to the size of the whole game. Besides, the music will likely be streamed. This will allow it to play even while it's loading (like how YouTube works)
TechnoBulldog
That's nice to know. I can't believe I didn't think of that.
Pyre
Can't wait for the beta.
Darth Irule
That is amazing!

What you use to edit the video?
Spire
Wow! I'll be listening to the ingame music now, no doubt happy.gif
KaBob799
The back-end upgrade they mentioned on RuneScape made me think fancier music was possible, fancier graphics and music are much easier to pull off with faster servers and more bandwidth. Music on FunOrb doesnt take too long to load, and its similar quality to this, but theres only a few songs per game and they all load at the beginning. I'm guessing there might be an option to decide how much space MechScape can take up on your hard drive, more space meaning more songs and stuff being saved to keep you from having to load them every time.
Saggezza
It has the fake orchestra sound which I hate so much :( That's ok, I can get over it. But that is very well put together music. A+ video, Ren.
Garanaw
Yay! A lot better than RuneScape music! biggrin.gif
HollowaysEve
One word: AWESOME

Music sounded very nice being a muscian myself. It sounded like a mix of Halo and Spyro put in a blender with a techno violin then tenderized and stretched out. woot.gif

Thanks Jagex and the community!! It is the very reason I am proud to be part of the Mechscape World!

LONG LIVE MECHSCAPE!
Drachen
Well as far as we know MechScape is still a codename.

OnTopic: I liked the sound of the music track. It's really leaps and bounds ahead of RuneScape's soundtrack. Which is a good thing because when I log in every few weeks I usually just turn the music off.
mesheke
Mmmmmmmmm first comment in forever I finally got my iPod fixed

Very great music I would play the game just to listen to the music
Desperado152
Cool, I like how it picks up around the 3 minute mark.
puremagefury
That is some awesome music! :D Main menu theme? Introduction to the game theme?
Spire
On a side note: I'd love to hear some ambient style tracks in mechscape, being by favorite type of music and all happy.gif
Rick Astley
It's found a great home on my iPod, hope it will use up my day today.

It sounds a bit strange to me, meaning it doesn't sound like a game song...it sounds like its for something else.
I do like it though

i just can't imaging me listening to this while playing. I wonder why it would be 6 minutes as well.
Neven
What I like about the song is that it's so well composed, as everyone else said. It sounds less like Runescape music, when it comes to the amount of time they probably spent making it. Sounds more mature and just overall more like a song that utilizes the latest technology to make browser based java songs ha.

Edit: I don't think many people are listening to the whole song cause the second half of it sounds like that something out of a Daft Punk Album, to a certain degree.

Well if you imagine yourself listening to the not-so-great RuneScape music you can definitely imagine yourself listening to this in-game :p

6 minutes would probably be so the song isn't some short loop.

haha, that is true.
but I imagine myself listening to it and playing a certain part of the game and wondering what i'll be doing in the game and hearing that music while in the game, just seems odd cause i'll get distracted by listening to the music. ha

Which is why I've decided to make a petition to implement in-game DISCO BREAKS! Everyone gets together, stops playing momentarily and dances to the music. Awesome thought eh? biggrin.gif
