When I was little, this level was the reason I didn't want to be an astronaut anymore... too spooky for a little kid...

The opening shot when you first land here, followed by the first, chilling note of this track is legendary. It really makes you feel like a small speck in the cold, endless reaches of space. Absolutely amazing atmosphere.

The way this game’s music “sets the stage” for each and every level is truly impressive

The first game had so much more atmosphere

David Bergeaud always had a knack for mixing the old with the new; this track alone has elements of club genres that were big in the 90s and early 2000s such as Trip Hop and Ambient but also contains a little bit of old school Sci Fi music.

The original game in every way is better than the remake. Masterpiece

I find this song sad as well as creepy. You're on a space station filled with flying drones, Blarg troopers, turreters and piloted fighters while the planet below gets devastated by an army, and people are dying. And here Ratchet and Clank are, looking for someone who tricked and left them for dead just to end the grudge of the former. Deep shit when you think about it.

Can't believe this level wasn't included in the "remake"

It's funny how such a goofy character like Captain Quark could have the most eerie and atmospheric theme in the whole game, just for his hideout.

The nostalgia makes me want to cry. These were the good days.

I love how dark and eerie the soundtrack was for this game, really sets it apart from its sequels. Even those creepy music transitions fit in with the planet that you're on, and goes to show how much thought they put into them

It sounds like a train in the beginning, and it always creeped me out a bit

I still have my original ps2 edition of the game. Who else?

Anybody else just bust out this game to beat it again for the millionth time at least once a month?

Best level, best boss, best music. Imo...


Such nostalgia.

This level had so much fucking SOUL. Truly scary for a kid.

The remake is just a sad joke.

I love this song. It really conveys that extremely dark spacey tone that the original trilogy had.

I love how it borrows Veldins Motif. Kind of a reminder of how far you've journeyed.

don't lose yourself in the atmosphere when there isn't any to breathe in.

Was just on another OST for the second game and saw a discussion on Obani's track.
People described that track as feeling "lonely", and this song immediately came to mind.

This track absolutely oozes agoraphobia: the fear of open spaces. In this case, literally.

I don't think I've ever heard a theme that so accurately captures the feeling of you being this small, insignificant creature trapped in the endless expanses of outer space. All your problems, all your mortal goals, the universe stretching out around you is wholly indifferent to it. While it's not the level with the biggest threat of you dying from a fall, it is probably the one that is most conceptually terrifying. Fall on planet Eudora, the logging planet, and you're dead, sure, but it's not so bad knowing there is an eventual end to the fall. But this is outer space. "Falling" is an abstract concept; you just fall away forever. Somehow, that is even worse.
