The game uses Konami's custom sound chip called SCC (Sound Custom Chip), a 5-channel chip that compliments the 3-channel PSG chip of the MSX computer system.

This game has a big list of background tracks, all with a character of their own. I like the music from this game for its diversity and atmosphere that matches its associated level quite well.

Playlist:
00:00 07 Feel Pleasure To The Death (2nd Level)
01:31 08 Space Traveler (3rd Level)
03:10 09 Strangers In Time (Warp Demo)
04:05 10 Gradius Boss
04:42 11 Salamander Boss
06:01 12 Gradius 2 Boss
06:44 13 Dance Of Middle Easterners (5th Level)
07:51 14 Hellraiser (6th Level)

[mieleke]

[floresed]

It just shows that you appreciate great music buddy. Absolutely nothing wrong with that :).

The Gradius games are known for their legendary music compositions.

second lvl is the best music so far that and poison of snake.

[Ovide77]

Comparing to the standard shitty 3 channel sounds, Konami really had awesome sounds with their scc chip. Well composed.

WELL GEE IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE THE SAME SONG OR ANYTHING HERF DERF

oh wait

[torm223300]

the MSX "poison of snake" version sounds almost like "theme of the gorem " on salamander 2.

Mega thanks to you megamarsvin! :>D

[megamarsvin]

I usually save the clip first and then use a freeware tool called AudioExtractor. But if you Google "youtube to mp3" you'll get sites that convert straight to mp3 too!

[9Clutch]

I know you can save youtube videoclips but I didn't know you can save the audio part of the clip alone. Can you teach me how that can be done? :-D

[megamarsvin]

Shouldn't be too hard. Just rip the audio from this clip and upload it to your phone ;)

[shalpp]

Dance of the Middle Easterners

Simply the best fucking song ever

[9Clutch]

The music at starting 1:30 (Level 3), I would do anything to put it as my ringtone!
