Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty Original Soundtrack - (101) "Metal Gear Solid' Main Theme"
Pretty extended, non sequitur build, finally referring to the theme briefly at 2:05, 2:20 & 2:33 and changing the chord progression. Theme finally faded in at 3:16 with a pretty straightforward gated rhythm until 4:41. Not really too much melodic interpretation going on beyond the trance adaptation, though it was a capable one. Some more usage of the underlying progression from 5:14-5:41, before returning with the melody until 6:40.
All in all, cool to listen to, with solid production, but the arrangement was too bread and butter for the genre without getting more creatively interpretive with the melody or other parts of the source tune. The original writing pieced together very naturally with what source usage was there, but this track needs a lot more MGS theme in it to break 50% source usage (i.e. 4:16's worth of this track), and the level of interpretation needs to go beyond what's expected in order to fit with the genre. Too bad this is an older piece; it has a lot of potential if you were willing to revisit it. Definitely hope we hear more from you, Tommie.
