  • Haha, why have all the characters in this game "fallen" into the dungeon? How hard can it be to spot a dungeon before accidentally falling into it?

    And are you sure this is the right OST? This sounds more like TempestX...

  • Yep, I'm sure. I don't fuck around when it comes to Yuzo Koshiro. :P

  • what a shit of soundtrack its posed here.?

  • It should also be noted that this was one of the earliest ambient techno soundtracks produced, as Yuzo Koshiro released it around the time of the earliest ambient techno albums (by electronica artists like Aphex Twin and Tetsu Inoue).

    Koshiro was also experimenting with hardcore jungle / drum & bass for Streets of Rage 3 at the time, although the SOR3 soundtrack was criticized by some Sega fans/critics for being too hardcore and experimental, much like this Eye of the Beholder soundtrack.

  • If Yuzo Koshiro wanted, he could have went for a more ActRaiser style of music, which has more in common with the usual RPG music, but I don't think that was his intention for this game.

    I think the reason he went for a more ambient techno sound was to invoke the feelings of danger and fear, i.e. the kind of feel you rarely ever get from the more traditional RPG soundtracks. That's why I believe the soundtrack is actually quite well suited for this game.

  • This soundtrack was by both Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima. Also, it was released in 1994, making it basically Street of Rage 3, part 2.

  • perfectly*

  • @Deibodese

    Ill fitting? This music went perfecttly with the game.

  • The most ill-fitting soundtrack of all time. And yet, it's so damn awesome I won't complain anyway.

  • can someone tell me what kind a genre of music that starts at 5:20 is it salsa or mexican cumbia.it sounds like spanish music.

  • this is something you would hear in streets of rage 3.it has that feel to it.Yuzo is the fuckin man. and the one that starts at 5:20 feels kind of latin salsa music.i felt like dancing salsa to it. Yuzo can go from classical,Hip-hop,Techno,Dance and Acid in a matter of seconds.he's that brilliant!

  • I always thought the music was strangely appropriate myself. Only played once and somehow missed level 11 (if I remember correctly) entirely.
