Kerbal City 2000?

[AstroRick]

I know I am not crazy. I swear that at least one track of music in the VAB is from SimCity 2000. Has anyone else noticed this?

[CrazedGunman502]

Nope, went through the entire ost and didn't recognize anything. Specific name would help.

[E. F. Kranz]

It's not, but it definitely has the same vibe. Reticulating splines.

There is one new at the R&D Complex though.

Most of the music is generic public domain stuff so you'll here it everywhere. Threads are constantly popping up about people finding the music in weird places.

Anywhere I can get a link to the R&D music? I like it.

Also...

I love the new music in the R&D complex, it reminds me of this piece from Tron:Legacy

I wonder if Harv wrote the piece; in his youtube channel you can see him performing the KSP main theme which he himself made

You're not crazy. I made that connection when I first played the game as well many months ago. I never looked into it more though. It seemed like a nice nod of the head to a king of simulation.

KSP OST:

SC4+RH OST:

Closest similarities are in these tracks IMHO.

I think the similarities are superficial at best. Sure simcity had this nu-jazz or fusion thing going on with some ambient but besides KSP also having some jazz(y) tracks and ambient they're not that alike, just done in similar broad sub-genres.

[Arsonik]

I think the similarities are quite strong in many instances... but the production value of the SC4 Rush Hour tracks are way better then anything in Kerbal. I'm not suggesting that SC4 was any sort of inspiration to Harv when producing the KSP music. I'm not knocking it either, I love the KSP OST so far. Anyways, not much to actually discuss kerbal related in this topic. But I did vibe with the OP because it was a feeling I got the first time I played Kerbal. The Diablo 2 and Sim City 4 Rush Hour soundtracks are the only games whose music I've enjoyed enough to listen to on youtube from time to time. And I've played hundreds of games. So thats kudos to the devs of KSP really for having music that is on par. I believe the soundtrack can really make or break a game in many aspects.

That sounds EXACTLY like it! maybe it is, with a little editing.
