This game did some crazy things with the SPC700!

[magopolian]

The game OST is full of crazy adrenaline orchestras from a mature level (and the game storyline is more complex than people can imagine) and with a variable of musical strands, blues, fusion, funk, the face of composers.

Its my favorite in the snes.

@magopolian Couldn't have said it better myself. This game really is a masterpiece. The story just kept me drawn in to it. The music like you said is brilliant! It's to bad this was never released in the U.S. I had no choice but to play it on an emulator.

@dposey38 That's what I do for SFC games that were never released....I mean--scratch that one (*cough*Snes9x*cough*)

[magopolian]

Just to see: Check the song "Warning Two" (Uematsu), the common boss music on Gun Hazard and compare with "Let the Battles Begin!" (Uematsu too), the FFVII battle theme. The second was heavilly inspirated on the first. Theres others similars too.

[dissident93]

@magopolian Yep. Just like Uematsu with Dynami Tracer, he seems to use a few motifs here and there from that and this.

Albert: WHAT?!

What a catchphrase, ladies and gents.

[BlizzardFenrir]

When is the first song? I finished the entire game, but I can't recall that one.

[goniochromism]

that and the track before are indeed both Hamauzu. the one you mentioned is "Impatience part 2", which incidentally is my favourite track on the OST.

[IggyHazard]

Shatterhand meets Low-G Man. Come to think of it, some elements of Shatterhand remind me of Rolling Thunder. And I like the subtitle of this game...a lot. XD

[GypsyRed]

I love when I can closely pinpoint one composer's track from another. Uematsu and Mitsuda both have very distinctive styles. I live for that kind of thing. ^_^

[mistaphill]

I do the same thing. Same with Chrono Trigger which was mostly Mitsuda, but had a few Uematsu tracks on it.

The music on this one is just as good.

[Kalevsmith]

I think of this Soundtrack as a proto-FFVII but Mitsuda, Hamauzu and nakano's work are equally brilliant

[GypsyRed]

This is the very first time I've ever heard this soundtrack, but I'd absolutely have to agree with you on Uematsu. His tracks here are very FF7-esque.

[magopolian]

@Kalevsmith

Yeah. And its strange because I first listened to the tracks of this game in the end of december 1996, when i travelled to Japan to stay 2 months, before FFVII was released. When FFVII got launched in january 1997, i said to me and my friends "holy ... Uematsu obviouslly gotta inspiration on his Gun Hazard job!!!".

[spb711]
