SwordBreaker Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 While Mega Man games are nowhere to be seen, Japan's going all out with the music. Recently released are two back-to-back albums, rock and techno-flavored...which may grab the interest of this community. It has a lot of well known composers contributing, including Hitoshi Sakamoto. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeWZpoyqRYI&feature=share&list=PLoAc5hlnzY8_d7WYcdyw1grMpZt6KlIxn Most of the tracks in the rock album are quite interpretive, steering away from the source a lot. I especially love what was done with the Splash Woman remix...now that's something I can see posted on OCR for example. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoAc5hlnzY8-K84KPVL_t3-nGr0IQafBK&feature=plpp Here's the techno playlist. Not really digging it yet, but Wily's Stage from Mega Man 2 is pretty good. Let's throw this one in for good measure. Released last year, I was thoroughly surprised by this album. It's called We Are Rockmen and has music spanning from the original MM games to the X series. Very, very good tracks. Listen to the Armored Armadillo take. EPIC. The reason why I'm mentioning this album is because they're releasing a follow-up in one month in honor of the 25th Anniversary. Thoughts? Discuss! Also link your favorite tracks out of these albums.

Mirby Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 I was just happy to see some appreciation for MM4 Wily Battle. Quote

Devyn Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 I needed this. Thank you. Oh man. Thank you. Edit: If this is from Capcom - apology accepted. The neighbors are going to hate me. Quote

I just wish they could releases this stuff overseas. Digital downloads. iTunes. Anything. Would definitely buy them. It would make a good way to celebrate the 25th Anniversary if they bundle these albums under one release or something. Quote
Dj Mokram Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Get excite! 'Rockman Exe Transmission' for the GC is finally getting a proper (and long overdue) soundtrack release. One of the best and most underrated Rockman soundtracks, by VGM legends Shinji Hosoe and Ayako Saso. Quote

One of the best and most underrated Rockman soundtracks, by VGM legends Shinji Hosoe and Ayako Saso. I hated Network Transmission's Gameplay back in the day so I barely remember the OST. That good, eh? I do recognize Ayako Saso though. She (He?) made an AWESOME remix of Big Blue for the F-Zero AX/GX soundtrack, so I'll need to give the Network Transmission OST a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZKeClQ6quI Quote
Bahamut Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiuvY1iNUzwThis deserves special attention - so awesome. That caught my ears too - good stuff! Edit: Caught this one too just now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdNsONU_LKI Quote
SwordBreaker Posted October 15, 2012 Author Posted October 15, 2012 No, no ... . Very catchy. The synth here is groovy. Dang it. Now I gotta catch up with all the NT music! Edit: Caught this one too just now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdNsONU_LKI That was really cool and weird. Whatever post-processing the composer has on the lead violin is sweet. Quote
