Hey there! Lots of firsts for me with this thread: first post on OCR, first game remix, first track that I take the time to actually polish. Anyway, here's my take on the main theme of Panzer Dragoon Zwei, one of my cherished games back in the Saturn days. I took the main melody (about 30-40 seconds) and for good or bad turned it into some 5min+ prog metal/rock number. I'm afraid it's quite liberal, but hopefully it doesn't cross the line. Source: ReMix: current version 31/07/2015 version (ending a bit on the loud side) older version from october 2011 (different mix and libraries) Source breakdown: 0:00 - 0:45 | Theme on bagpipes 0:45 - 1:22 | Theme variations played by the two lead guitars 1:22 - 1:40 | Original part (melody is actually borrowed from a folk song) 1:40 - 2:17 | Further variations on lead guitar and bagpipes (more loosely connected) 2:17 - 2:35 | Original part 2:35 - 3:49 | Variations on clean guitar 3:49 - 4:07 | Theme played by bass 4:07 - 4:27 | Loose variation on lead clean guitar 4:27 - 4:45 | Guitar solo loosely based on theme 4:45 - 5:04 | Theme on bagpipes, harmonized theme on lead guitar 5:04 - 5:13 | More variations on lead guitar and bagpipes 5:13 - 5:45 | Theme ending repeated Some interesting and not-so-interesting trivia about the track: - The Sky Boat in the title stands for the airship Shelcoof, which Lundi and his dragon Lagi chase throughout the whole game. But it also refers to a Scottish folk song called The Skye Boat Song, which is not an uncommon tune to play on bagpipe. I actually used the melody from this song at 1:22. - I'm pretty sure Grandia's Farewell To Sue was an inspiration for the part beginning at 3:49. This song had quite an impact on me when I was young. On an unrelated note: the soundtrack had some bagpipes in it. - The trailing melody starting on the left guitar at 5:22 is a small nod to the Witcher menu theme (see 0:55 and 1:35). Unrelated note: bagpipes in there too! - Apart from the source, I listened to the on the Alternative Elements album quite a lot. It's a bit of a stretch, but I think the strings starting at 0:35 in that song have somehow resulted in what's happening near 1:59 in my remix. - I was trying to go for a "journey" feel, so there are few parts repeated, the whole track is more like a linear progression instead of something with verses / choruses. Exceptions are 0:46 - 1:40 and 1:40 - 2:35, which are constructed identically (and alternate between 3/4 and 4/4). Many thanks in advance for your feedback!
