Lie Mf B Report post Posted July 18, 2013 I'm working on a remix of the Duck Tales Himalaya theme (NES), and I'm looking for more material to put into it. So I'm searching for game music with a country/western/hillbilly/bluegrass style. Let me know if you have any tips. I already know about Psycho Fox (Sega) and Gunsmoke (NES). All platforms welcome.

Jamphibious Report post Posted July 18, 2013 - from Earthbound- from Mario Party 2There might be some tracks in Rayman Origins with that feel but I can't recall specifically. I know there's a bunch of different styles. Still its a great soundtrack so maybe look into it. The Sims has some country music as well.I'm sure there's more so I'll see if I can think of any more.

Cerrax Report post Posted July 18, 2013 Although it incorporates a lot of modern electronic sounds and beats into it, "western" sounding music to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Splint Report post Posted July 18, 2013 Can't post a link where I am right now, but YouTube Banjo-Tooie's Glittergulch Mine. Very lazy, hillbilly tune. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerrax Report post Posted July 18, 2013 Can't post a link where I am right now, but YouTube Banjo-Tooie's Glittergulch Mine. Very lazy, hillbilly tune.Pretty much all of the music from the Banjo games because, ya know, the main character's name is Banjo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazygecko Report post Posted July 18, 2013 I always loved the redneck elements in the Starcraft terran music.Although I always thought of Comix Zone as cashing in on the grunge fad at the time, someone else explained it to me as country rock and I suppose that could be true to some degree.

Xarnax42 Report post Posted July 18, 2013 Surprised no one's mentioned Wild Arms yet. Someone may be able to highlight tracks that are more uptempo, approaching bluegrass style, but the entire OST has that western feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annie Felis Report post Posted July 18, 2013 Pick a Wild ARMs game. Half their soundtracks are country-inspired, or at least spaghetti western-inspired. Heck, the main theme of the first game is a remix of the overworld theme, which is a cover of The Ecstacy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

MC Final Sigma Report post Posted July 18, 2013 Two themes come to mind: the Bears theme from Donkey Kong Country 3 and the from Twilight Princess.Otherwise, maybe the Harvest Moon games? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nohero Report post Posted July 18, 2013 Given the nature of the song you chose, why not go for a piece of music with a country vibe that accompanied another mountain-scaling level?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtZFsjnBwmU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is however missing the vocal version of Advanced Wind, which can be found here.I'm sure Wild ARMS 4 and 5 are pretty much similar, but I haven't played them.

Lie Mf B Report post Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks a billion for all your suggestions. A lot of interesting stuff there!Unfortunately, I'm still at loss as what I'm gonna add to my song. I realized that "country" music necessarily won't do it. What I need is a good bridge (aka a middle eight) to put towards the end of my remix, something melodic that fits with the rest of the song. I've been listening to tons of other tracks but never found anything that works with the style and tempo (for instance, I tried to nick the end part of the Moon Base theme from Duck Tales, but the tempo was just wrong).EDIT:Here's the track so far, posted in a thread at the WIP forum:http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=92905 Edited July 19, 2013 by Lie Mf B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoshi1001 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 If you need any more, there's also the Simian Acres (first level in the game) theme from Blast Corps for N64. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
