Pilotwings - Hang Glider (MIDI)

My third sequence from this wonderful soundtrack, originally composed by Soyo Oka (岡素世). A lot of the versions of this track circling around video game music websites + youtube are actually incomplete / missing the intro, due to a poorly dumped SPC. So for the record, this is how the complete track should sound (midi sounds aside, of course.) I sequenced this a couple of days ago, since amazingly no-one else had done so. Such a great track.

I could never really get into this soundtrack, for whatever reason. Maybe I'll try again soon. This track is alright.

Do you have the credits for this game? I thought Koji Kondo was involved, or did he only do the sound effects?

[goniochromism]

it's not clear what Kondo did on the OST, but I'm led to believe he was a supervisor, or possibly did sound effects. on Oka's JCAA page she states that (paraphrasing) "other than 3D Hot Rally, I composed all the music for each game I worked on" - which incidentally means Taro Bando didn't write any of Super Mario Kart's music either (that's more obvious though =P) she's also solely credited for the Pilotwings tracks on the "Nintendo Super Famicom Game Music" album.

Ah, peace. On a clear day, I will often look up to the sky and picture myself flying through the air with this song playing in my head. Great rendition.

Does anyone else get the feeling that this is a 3/4 based song instead of a regular 4/4? It's really hard to realize this whenever it's not a waltz or something like that.

I could be wrong =)

I played the shit out of Sim City SNES as a kid and remember the incredibly relaxing and inspiring tunes. So just a couple of days ago I got the idea to hunt down those tunes and find out more about the composer. Turns out her Pilotwings have a pretty similar style - this track in particular. It just puts blue skies into my mind!

Finally! This was always my favourite track.
