Herzog Zwei

This is one game that is ALWAYS mentioned whenever anyone talks about games that didn't get the credit they deserved, sleeper hits, etc. I think at the time most people saw the title and since they couldn't pronounce it without sounding like they were clearing their throats, passed. Well, as many in the emulation scene have discovered, it kicks booty, and was very innovative for its time. Mr.Redifer's version of the 'breach' theme brings his unique VocalWriter sound, with rapid fire drums and nice stereo separation, to a obscure but good track!

I WOULD say it's a super A+ song/remix. It's emotional for me. Sad, with drama, has a story.
Joe - What is the origin of the title "Breach of Contract"?
It has meaning to me I'm wondering how you came up with it?
Music is a subjective experience and the mood and drama of this one strikes a chord within.

Though the sounds need a slight sample upgrade, and it doesn't seem to stray far from the original, it's an enjoyable mix with a very nice melody, and a good feel as well.

I wouldn't say it's a super A+ song, but you got to give credit to the remixer for making such a tribute to such a wonderful game.
I used to own Herzog Zwei on my Genesis, and I still play it emulated on my Dreamcast every once in a while.
Great music, great work. Keep it up.
8/10

I pmed u about this song.
But it's so awesome I have to tell EVERYONE!!!
This is an awesome remix of a game I used to sit playing for hours.
The Intro/Outro are especially awesome and the beats mixed in there have a great rhythym, best remix i've ever heard. Only one thing I have to say...
AWESOME :!: :!: :!: :D :D :D :) :) :) :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink: :wink: :wink: :P :P :P

While it's a decent [i]tribute[/i] to the original, I would've liked to hear more "mixing it up", and also higher quality instruments. Sounds better than the original, anyway.

I can't stop listening to the "nostalgic intro/outro."
Awesome dude.

Hi Joe Rediford,
Hmm, I had registration problems when I first tried to register here, but as soon as I registered I had to get over here and sign my thanks.
I love this remix.
Herzog Zwei was great also. This piece captured the emotional tone of [i]Breach[/i] well.
Cheers,
NeOmega

It's an alright remix. I don't care for the percussion but the rest of the remix is pretty true to the original.

A very nice touch, if I do say so myself. This one is for the folder, and I believe I'veheard the midi version. I like how the instruments came all together. 8 out of 10 stars.

Well I can't say that theres anything specifically 'wrong' with this mix, but for some reason I didn't enjoy it. I just wasn't fond of the entire track. Mabey its because i've never played the game, or listened to the original track, but to me the mix was below par. :(

Nice song. :)
Herzog Zwei is still the best game out there.. more under rated then any game in history. I still cant believe there isnt a sequel made for the game, or anything like it. I would buy any console for a sequel to it..
one day...

Herzog Zwei 'Breach'
This game is so awesome and very overlooked. People who enjoyed games back in the day will appreciate this mix from Herzog Zwei on the 16-bit Genesis. I first rented the Mega Drive version of this game from a local game shop and it played on my Genesis without modification or any adapters. I was stoked. I didn't know what I was doing but soon got into it. It's TechnoSoft so of course the music was great.
This is my tribute to that fabulous action/strategy game. There are lots of great tunes to mix but I chose this one. I wanted to make it sound sort of nostalgic, which I think I accomplished during the intro and outro. I'm not one to toot my own horn, but this is better than TechnoSoft's own arrangement of music from the same game. In fact I'd say the original cartridge music is better than the TechnoSoft CD! Anyway if you enjoyed the game I think you'll like this mix. If you've never played the game, give it a try anyway. It's action music but it's not overwhelming, and it sounds smooth.
