I am pathetic.
« on: December 28, 2007, 07:29:10 PM »
I am currently rocking out to Sapphire - Track 4 in my car, parked on the side of the road.





This car is in GTA: Vice City. :(

It's too bad you don't have a real TurboGrafx so you could actually tell us what stages these songs are from. Things like "Track 4" and "Track 1" don't mean a whole lot to me. "Stage 1" and "Stage 4" on the other hand, mean a whole lot more.

From another thread, I know you like the Lords of Thunder soundtrack. Did you know the soundtrack in Sapphire is by the same folks?

I can't remember what track 4 is, cuz I renamed them all to their respective levels/bosses.  Also, did you know that Hyper Wars music was also done by the same guys that did Lords of Thunder & Sapphire?  Pity it isn't a shooter, but, I do have the soundtrack, if ever you need it.

I found that out while grabbing the Sapphire ISO. T's Music is the BEST ROCK GROUP EVER.


My modem crapped out while I'm uploading, lets go again! HERE IS TRACK 4: http://www.mediafire.com/?7uizif5zcy1

Stage 2.  And I'm pretty sure T's Music is more generic then a rock band, since, they did alot of the music for later Turbo games, that were not rock, not to mention the music for Bonk for NES.  So, it's probably some faction within T's Music that was responsible for the more rock oriented stuff, including Cotton & Dungeon Explorer 2, while, not rock, did use guitars n' stuff.

Oh yeah, they also did Riot Zone.

You know what, I think they also did Super Darius 2, which was made, not by Hudson, but by NEC Avenue.

Seriously, T's Music > Any popular American rock band.

I would like to see T's Music, JDK Band, The Black Mages, KONAMI KuKeiHa CLUB, Sega S.S.T. Band and Crush 40 team up for the single greatest concert in the history of mankind! Forget the briefcase Missa, THAT is what babies should be stolen for.

Seriously, if this concert took place, it would bring world peace by the power of awesome! It would be like the Woodstock of gaming, except no nudity because well, not a lot of gamers are in great shape.

But still, it would be the BEST CONCERT EVER.

They had a hand in a number of NEC Avenue soundtracks: Hellfire S, Dragon Knight III, Doukyuusei, etc.  (I think they did only a track or two for each of the Elf games, though.)

Um...nah.

I'm not really a "rock and roll" sort of guy, and most of my favorite tunes come from the UK, or Europe, but still this statement is just silly. Just as an example, the new Springsteen Album, "Magic", that is so popular with the music press right now; its fantastic. No game music is ever going to move me this way. I'd also cite The Killers, The Shins and all the stuff that isn't rock since rock is almost dead as a genre now with all the really killer stuff now being done in other genres.

Then there is the fact that once you've listened to enough music you'll start to realize where all the ideas for soundtracks like Lords/Winds of Thunder came from; mainly vintage Helloween. Do you know of Helloween? Its basically like the LoT soundtrack only 10x better and with vocals. Check it out sometime. Keeper of the Seven Keys pt 1 and 2 (two separate albums) seem to be a huge inspiration for LoT. Also maybe some Man O War and Iron Maiden. Helloween is German, Maiden English, and Man O War is American.

How can it be 10x better and have vocals? Vocals suck.
