So I had this song up and decided to take it down to fix a few small things, but also to add the original that I made back in October of 2003.

So now you all get to hear not only the new song but the old version from which it is based off of. To be honest I'm actually quite partial to the old one myself (probably due to nostalgia reason), but I'm growing to like the new one quite a bit. I'll leave it up to you all to decide which one you like more. This is probably going to be the only song I'm doing this for. For the few other songs that I did in the past and am redoing/have redone... I may put MP3 links once I get the MP3 hosting thing going for all the music down the road.

The new song goes from 0:00 to 3:27 while the 2003 version goes from 3:28-6:59.

Enjoy!

- - - below is from the original posting and relative to the first song

I used to think this song was a remix back in the day but in reality even in this updated version it stays way too close to the source.

I've been doing a lot of pure orchestration work lately so I put a few synths in. A very Mega Man'esq pad that follows the main melody and two that follow the organ. I don't think I could do a Mega Man song without at least one synth in it.

The approach for the sound of this song was based on the boss himself... Shade Man.

Since he's vampire/bat like I figured to create an empty castle/echoy atmosphere in addition to use of the piano and organ.

Hope you enjoy.

  • Great arrangement... sounds more like the version on Megaman: Power Battle...

  • Never even knew about that game till now... an arcade Mega Man! Neat info. I'll have to listen to the Shade Man song from that game next.

  • This song reminds me of the theme of the movie Phenomena.

  • Never heard the song till now. The new version and the Phenomena theme sure share a lot of the same instrument sounds though. The "vocals" at the end go with the Phenomena ones too. Neat comment.

  • Very magnificent! You did justice to Shade Man's theme, I must say.

    I can't decide which version I like more...Maybe the older one? ;)

  • Honestly I can't either. They both have their own merits.

see all

  • The arps, if that's what you call them, sound out of sync with the rest of the song.

  • could make a great song for Castlevania LOLLLL ^^

  • Shademan disliked the video

  • nice! really nice <3

  • Interesting! If the timing wasn't off on the first one, I'd choose it as my favorite. If you ever do change that, I'd be interested in knowing =}

  • It sounds more syncopated than on direct time :P

  • Timing is off in the beginning melody, idk if that was intentional.. :P

  • Best Remastered BGM ever

  • Megamanvania? :o

  • It would be perfect if part of the intro wasn't out of tune.
