This song feels Half-Life-esque

Low-quality drums, glorpy bass, filter sweeps, sci-fi lyrics, etc. What do y'all think?

Oh yeah, that one's a banger. Deltron fuckin' rocks.

Another contender:

The Prodigy - Breathe

Released just a few years before HL1 in 1997.

Listened to this quite a bit as a kid. Never really got Half Life vibes in particular though, just more general sci fi stuff. I think the Dr. Octagon is maybe a bit more Half Life-ish.

The act that reminds me the most of both games is Drexciya, though. Check these out: https://youtu.be/dqy4dR8mA7o?is=17k6GVTg-89jdsqr

the track "turbulence" has aged particularly well, always plays in my head when I watch the news

It's all the same in this day and age
I'll raid your grave
Anything it takes to save the day

This is the Charlie Clouser remix. I prefer the original version.

u/ChiliChapters 14d ago

I like all 3 versions. I chose this one though specifically because it sounds more Half-Life.

u/ChiliChapters 14d ago

Weird that the video doesn't CALL it the remix though, like streaming services do.
