Unappreciated Game Music: "Barnicle" [sic] by Eric Gieseke (DX-Ball 2)

I decided to start a new series of videos: Unappreciated Game Music. I'll be posting music most people don't seem to care about, from games most people don't seem to be aware of.

Here's one of the excellent tracks from the not so obscure Arkanoid clone for PC, DX-Ball 2. The soundtrack could use some appreciation, though.

Yessss... I always LOVED the music from DX-Ball.

wow, I only remembered DX Ball recently, and I never knew a number 2 existed until today! It has some awesome music too!

@cresun Yeah, I agree with the connection between the two.. I heard insatia (full song) and it's similar but diferent. I'd love to hear a HQ version of the two (Barnicle aka Sheep and Insatia), Also, i think that it would be nice to hear a "2011" version, but that's only my imagination :D

@facux100pre yeah, there's definitely a connection between the two : they have the same chord progression and bass sequence in common...

perhaps both tracks were written simultaneously as two different concepts that spawned from the same idea...or maybe Sheep is a spinoff of Insatia...

@cresun In the 2badsheep album from The Sidewinder, there's a track called "Insatia (The original Dobe Mix) that is other version of this Dx-Ball song. Maybe the original...

@ :44 there should be a second audio channel that is hard to pick up . From perivious experince the only way to pick up the second channel is to record the audio while playing the game
