Cities like New York and Chicago have been built on Jazz and it’s culture. Rather than having a modern type of musical representation (namely Hip-Hop), the composers decided that a classical rendition would provide a more accurate feel to the simulation. The musical score of the game reflects a very strong urban feeling during the gameplay. However, how does it make it so great? I mean it’s just music right? Well not necessarily. This musical sophistication is greatly reflected in the SimCity 3000 soundtrack and in my opinion represents perfectly the vibe of this era. It was one of the most creative periods and spawned countless sessions and improvisations now revered for their masterful execution. The Hard-Bop, Smooth-Jazz Free-Jazz era of the 1950s and early 1970s were ground breaking years for the advancement of Jazz music. SimCity introduced me with it’s relaxed beats and sharp notes to one of the most prolific Jazz eras in the history of music. I was familiar with the specific era of which I am now a huge devoted fan. Prior to two or three years ago I had no idea who John Coltrane or Miles Davis were yet at the same time I knew these songs and rhymns. It took me a long time however to finally realize that I had this secret love for Jazz. One of the best aspects of the game however is the music, vilely infused with pure post Hard-Bop era smooth-jazz and some cool New Age Electronica.
#Simcity 3000 ost series
Creating huge metropolis, challenging myself with weird urban designs and landscapes, I’ve always been fascinated by Will Wright’s series from the very beginning. I still play SimCity 3000 Unlimited every now and then like any other classics in my collection. Ten years ago I bought one of my favorite games of all time. Let’s dig in deeper beyond that suburbian transmission signal and see why I fell in love with Jazz because of SimCity. Combining both Jazz and New Age, it gives a strong urban vibe to the king of city management games and is a delight to the ears. Realised in part by Jerry Martin, the SimCity 3000 soundtrack is one of my favorite jazz-flavored scores of all time. Out of all the classical themes of Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and the chip-tuned rock anthems of Mega Man and Castlevania I have an unconditional love for a very particular soundtrack of a genre that is shamefully misrepresented in videogame music.

But they do include all songs, even more than originally where available on the Maxis site.We all have our favorite videogame soundtracks that move us in indescribable ways. What's interesting is that this collection doesn't include both wav files from 30 Unlimited. I wonder why some are larger.Įdit 4: Starting from number 11 and up are the songs from SimCity 3000 Unlimited. And looking at the file size they're ion higher quality (but that's just guessing).Įdit 3: Mm seems as some of the listed files do have the exact same file size as mine have. It's the menu music loop file (3KLOOP).Įdit 2: Interesting, this site seems to have even more songs than that where listed on the Maxis site.
#Simcity 3000 ost download
they where free to download at the time though.Įdit: there's one music file that is in wav which is 705 kb/sec. I don't know if I'm allow to repost these. I still have them in my music library and they are 128 kb/sec mp3's. It's composed by Jerry Martin and the files from the site where in higher quality than the game itself. Many years ago you could download the music of Simcity 3000 from the website.
