TheOrcKing Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 I usually don't post links to an entire CD but this one is different. The entire album is like an amazing sonata telling a story that plays in the very depths of the mind's eye. A collaboration between Daft Punk, Leiji Matsumoto, Cedric Hervet and Toei Animation lead to a series of anime music videos that eventually became one great visual tale of a unique musical, Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. If you click on the tracks in sequence, you can also watch the animated musical in its entirety.

TheOrcKing Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Here is the soundtrack to a Playstation 1 game I don't think many have even heard of. It was a genre in the vain of Twisted Metal but on the water with boats! You had machines guns, special weapons, heatseekers, mines, grenades, shockwaves, and a bunch of other crap I can't even name or spell! ;-P The music, as Peter Griffin would say, is "friggin' sweet!"As far as I know, the tracks never had names or I just can't remember them.Dead in the Water (1998 - Playstation)Track 1Track 2Track 3Track 4Track 5Track 6Track 7Track 8Track 9Track 10Here's a video showing the intro, selection of characters, and some gameplay in Race mode.

TheOrcKing Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Here's the soundtrack from the PC game that defined real time strategy games. Actually the very first one that created and defined the genre was Dune: The Battle for Arakis but most people remember this one. (Both were made by the now defunct Westwood Studios.

TheOrcKing Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 For anyone that had an Amiga, then here is one for you. It took me forever before I got a chance to play the original and was totally worth it. The entire soundtrack, sound effects, and even music synthesizers was done by german composer, Chris Huelsbeck, and the game is one of Factor 5/Rainbow Arts' most memorable titles.Turrican (1990 - Amiga 500)Main ThemeLoadingLevel 1 - Part 1Level 1 - Part 2Level 1 - Part 3Level 2 - Part 1Level 2 - Part 2Level 3 - Part 1Level 3 - Part 2Level 3 - Part 3Level 5 - Part 1Level 5 - Part 2Level 5 - BossHere is the complete soundtrack remixed by the original composer himself!It has a selection from Turrican 1, 2, and 3, I think.And a random remix for good measure.Charles-Henri Avelange - Main Theme Heavy Remix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 The last of the series for the Amiga and for a while until Super Turrican 1 & 2 on the Super Nintendo. Emotions are a bit mixed on this one in regards to many aspects such as lack of difficulty, subpar enemy design, and less than stellar music. It still is pretty fun though and was probably made a lot better when ported to the Sega Genesis as Mega Turrican.Turrican 3 - Payment Day (1993 - Amiga 500)OpeningLoadingFactory Action (Stage 1-1)Second Floor (Stage 1-2)Platform Action (Stage 1-3)Meat Beast (Boss Theme 1)Wet Dungeon (Stage 2-1)Do the Bath Man (Stage 2-2)Swim or Die (Boss Theme 2)Air Combat (Stage 3-1)Scrap Yard (Stage 3-2)Climb to Survive (Stage 5-1)Screw Nut Hall (Secret Area)EndingThis seems to be the most complete I can find for the Amiga version playlist.If it was the Sega Genesis version, the list would be much longer.

TheOrcKing Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Originally, this was meant to be a console exclusive but was decided later on in the development cycle to be ported to the Amiga computer and strangely enough that version came out before this one making Amiga's seem like the original. I think the reason behind the 'Mega' surname is because the Genesis console was called in Japan and Europe the "Mega Drive"; very similiar to Nintendo and their own Super Nintendo console starting the whole "Super" this and that slapped on practically every title.Anyway, between the two versions I like the overall edgy sound of the Genesis version better than the the Amiga's. Of course it is a matter of preferance and now you can have both playlists to listen & compare. Some do sound better on the Amiga and vice versa.Mega Turrican (1994 - Sega Genesis)OpeningStage 1-1Stage 1-2Stage 1-Secret AreaStage 1-BossStage 2-1Stage 2-2Stage 2-3Stage 2-BossStage 3-1Stage 3-2Stage 3-3Stage 3-4Stage 4-1Stage 4-2Stage 4-3Stage 4-BossStage 5-1Stage 5-2Stage 5-BossEnding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Not to be confused with the 8-bit NES game of the same name, this was the first SNES console exclusive of the Turrican series. The soundtrack is like a mix of all three in the series using the console's synthesizers to create an instrumentally incredible masterpiece. In most ways this is better the Genesis but that one does have its good ones.Super Turrican (1993 - Super Nintendo)OpeningStage 1-1Stage 1-2Stage 1-3Stage 1-Boss IntroStage 1-BossStage 2-1Stage 2-2Stage 2-3Stage 2-4Stage 2-Boss IntroStage 2-BossStage 3-1Stage 3-2Stage 3-3Stage 3-BossStage 4-1Stage 4-2Stage 4-3Final BossEnding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue866 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I got some gaming music for ya. "Mountain King" for the Atari 2600. I *adore* this game. So much fun. Love the music at 1:52 and at 3:00 Ahhhhhh, the memories. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'm trying to think of but a few of my favorites from the Atari 7800. Let's see, there was Taz, Dark Chambers, Crystal Castles, Solaris, Food Fight, Mario Bros, Galaga, Pole Position 1& 2, Dig Dug, Midnight Magic, and some others. Man that was some good stuff. Pretty loud too with all those 'in your face' sound effects. Ha ha. I certainly have been on a wierd kick with all this video game music but it is a big portion of my life really. I listened to other music to be sure but for a lot of my life I did play them games! :-) Well in an odd way all that 'playing' is paying off cause I'm using all the pros & cons learned from different games to apply in my own ideas. I have the one last Turrican in the series to cover and then....on to some other title! I'm trying my hand with some chiptunes so that I can create some retro sounding music maybe mixed in with some current stuff. I remember coming across a website where people post stuff like this. I just need to find it again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 The final chapter for this entire series is an interesting one in many aspects. First off, your character looks like a memory of his former shelf with a brand new yet similiar 'Turrican' suit. The music this time around is more instrumental, moody, cinematic, and unique compared to all previous titles, but still good though and done by the original composer, Chris H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Here's the playlist for an arcade shooter than had me at hello with that first track. Okay, the overall soundtrack is decent and, well, short and a couple were the real highlights, and by most the version on the Sega Genesis was way better and I'm inclined to agree with that.

TheOrcKing Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 I mentioned with the prior title that it had a version ported to the Genesis and most prefer the sound of that to the original.

TheOrcKing Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Following up with the sequel to Vapor Trail (or Kuhga - Operation Code Vapor Trail in Japan) is Rohga: Armor Force (or Wolf Fang: Kuhga 2001 in Japan). Whereas the first was a vertical scrolling shooter, this took a completely different approach as a horizontal shoot em' up. Besides great gameplay you add the option of customizing your mech right from the start!

Yeah, it gets tiring seeing my ugly green mug for pages, don't it? :roll: Ah, what can I say? I love music and video games, and both go hand in hand pretty well.

TheOrcKing Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Might as well round off this series with the final installment. Still a great soundtrack and also had a few official remixes added in as a bonus (which I added to the playlist of the corresponding titles from before).Skull Fang: Kuhga Gaiden (1996 - Arcade)Over Boost (Opening)Skull Fang (Mission 1)Sonic Driver (Mission 2)So far this is all I can find posted for this game.Didn't find more covers unfortunately except for one more to add to Wolf Fang (Boss Theme 2).
