eagleeyedan Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sooo, I was listening to Pandora today, and this song, Keep Hope Alive by Crystal Method came on. As soon as it started into the tune (about 40 seconds in), I thought "Wait a minute, that's the Mars Mission song! Darn it 4T2, you ripped it off didn't you." Seriously, listen. They're uber similar.

lol username Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 LEGO Universe devs had some clips of "Name of the Game" by The Crystal Method used as temporary music. It was never used in any publicly tested areas of the game, but it was found in a beta version's audio assets (along with a song ripped from the Little Big Planet OST). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A12-KN5UijA Years later, Funcom received a bunch of LU assets to aid in the development of LEGO Minifigures Online, and, well... This happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJBhExJmEbY eagleeyedan and Ben24x7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowblaze Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 While the composer for the Mars Mission theme did probably take a little too much inspiration from that music, the main melody is so simple that he might hit it accidentally. For example the Mt. Itoi music from Mother and the Victory Road music for Pokémon Red and Blue are quite similar, as they're extremely simple. I myself also did go very close to those a bunch of times while working on my musics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop-Tart Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Considering how both songs involve the word "crystal" and this game is about saving them, I think it's more than just a coincidence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeyedan Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Considering how both songs involve the word "crystal" and this game is about saving them, I think it's more than just a coincidence... Crystal Method is just the name of the band who composed the songs. They're a long-time electronic music act. Their name is play on the drug, Crystal Meth, I doubt there was any correlation between the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
