It would seem the game over tune in Shadow of the Beast 2 is heavily inspired by a tune in a Miami Vice episode (Season 5, Episode 1).

  • they likely share a common origin.

  • @olllj

    Did you read the comments by the composer himself?

    "I was sent reference music for "game over", and told to copy it by Reflections. At the time I had no idea where it had come from... but you can rest easy, all my other music in SOTB II is original. :O)"

  • I was sent reference music for "game over", and told to copy it by Reflections. At the time I had no idea where it had come from... but you can rest easy, all my other music in SOTB II is original. :O)

  • I'm sorry, I always realized that... I should have been more clear in the title of the video and specified that I'm talking about the game over tune only.

  • Before anyone asks... nope, I wasn't aware it was copyright, nor indeed composed by someone else called Tim (what are the chances of that?). Nice tune though... guess that's why they wanted me to copy it(!)

  • Ah, that explains a lot! Thanks for posting, really interesting.

    Lots of good memories from these games, primarily because of the music!

  • This video is elsewhere on YouTube, and I made some comments there... but it bears repeating here. ;O)

    Miami Vice came first. All the music in SOTB2 that features guitar is put together from random guitar APART from this piece. I was sent a C60 cassette (remember those!?) with music on (this track) and told to copy it by Reflections. So, I did! The then M.D. of Reflections was a big Miami Vice fan, so it all makes sense now. ;O)

  • Real nigger music in da house!!

  • Well I'll be Damned, Still sounds more Powerful & Meaningful on SOTBII though

  • 0:21 ok, which one of them is Aarbron?

  • David?

    

  • @xevious2501 Except I believe this one wasn't composed by Jan Hammer... it was composed by Tim Truman, or so I'm told.

  • @coldstoragevideo wow now it all makes sence.. obviously your tracks for Reflections/Psygnosis were/Are simply classic (i even keep some in my ipod) but i the game track was sampled from a real guitar and more than likly sourced from some great metal ballet. the only problem which one? and after seeing this vid i realised it was ORIGINALLY created by none other than Jan Hammer

  • WOW i never knew that, but it makes sense. Vices Jan Hammer music.

  • This should be called "The Ponytail Theme".
