UPDATE!: ALBUM RELEASED

------> http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=628886#628886 <-------

Hi all!

streetfighter2010new.jpg

The year 2010 is near. So...are we really going to see aliens, robots and upgraded humans with Cyboplasm running amok? Nah, i don't think so either.

Anyway, hopefully we are going to see, no hear a one-man arrange album with 5 selected tracks (maybe more in the future) close to the original by the end of 2009. Why did i start to make an album of this game? I had an urge to hear how the game soundtrack would sound if it's arranged. And the other reason is because the gamesoundtrack has potential and i don't see many remixes being made for it yet. Which i think it's a shame.

I just want to share this with you all and to let you know that i am working on it. I wouldn't mind if people on OCRemix want this to be a bigger than a one-man project.

The original 8-bit tracks can be found here (need NSF player/plugin to play them):

http://www.zophar.net/music/nsf/street-fighter-2010-final-fight.html

The following 8-bit tracks are selected:

Track 1

Track 2

Track 4

Track 13

Track 14

The following links are the video and the mp3, it's a 2 minute demo of all 5 tracks to give you the first impression.

The youtube demo version can be found here:

The mp3 file can be downloaded here:

The 5 tracks will be posted later to give feedback on, if you want.

Am I even ALLOWED to link you to this? I dunno. But it's worth a mention.

EDIT: Forgot to check yours out, and when I did, I found that it's a lot more interesting than just the same old "guitar, bass, synth, drums" arrangements. You have my praise for this. :D

Thats a pretty impressive mix there. Didn't knew about this, thanks.

Yeah, it is a very impressive track by Dr. Manhattan...but I personally think yours sounds a lot more interesting. There's a lot more going on than just rock instruments, which is what I think most arrangements need. If this is to be a purchasable album, I'll buy it for sure.

I have dreamed of this project since I first played it in 91 but never had the time (or the talent, for that matter) to do it nor the exposure of a proper forum to pull it through! Finally someone has realized how great this game's soundtrack is! I stand up, take off my hat and applaud your project!

Might I throw in my 2c? Have you tried replacing the lead viola on track 1 with a brass ensemble supported by a layer of slow strings to give it a deeper 'space opera' feeling? Also, could I suggest increasing the speed of track 13 and make it a bit heavier so as to reflect the sense of urgency and rush of the original game level?

I eagerly look forward to the finished work! Will make a great X-mas present to all the VG community!

Oh man, this is bringing back so many memories now. This was one of my favorite games growing up--I completely forgot how absolutely amazing the music was! (Actually, I think this may be one of the reasons I always had an affinity for cyberpunk.) It tended not to get as much notice for some reason... maybe it was the insane difficulty?

Anyway, on your two-minute demo, the theme from 0:56 to 1:20 is perhaps my favorite (theme-wise and remix-wise, from what I can tell thus far). I'm really looking forward to the completion of this.

Excuse me now while I load this game up for some nostalgia. KF

Awesome! I've been waiting for this since the Summer :-)

Hi, thanks all for the comments.

A little status update:

I am planning on releasing the 5 tracks in a couple of weeks from now.

4 tracks are complete, and one is in progress. Art is ready, see first page.

Sounds great! Well, the news that is. I've already mentioned how the tracks themselves sound great.

When I went back to my mother's place for Thanksgiving, one of the first things I did was hook up my old NES and pop in Street Fighter 2010. I'm still good at it, but not good enough to get past the sand-dunes...

By the way, I'm not recognizing the theme from 1:45 to the end in your YouTube demo. Where's that one from? KF
