Gromix Collection #4

- Zool (Rock'n'Zool)

A fast and energic tune, just like the game it was in. This is clearly influenced by the heavy-metal bands of the eighties, like Iron Maiden or Saxons, specially the british ones. It was also during this period that the Amiga began to show it could almost perfectly render the sound of instruments like drums or distorted guitars. Musicians working for british studios like Gremlin Graphics or Core Design were then really into it.

Composed by : Patrick Phelan
Guitars and arrangement : Laurent Roucairol, Olivier 'Ozzy' Tamagna

- Double Dragon (Medley)

The Double Dragon musics mixed incredibly well heavy-metal riffing with the typical funk usually heard in the Shaw Brothers movies, both style matching the somewhat bizarre ambiance of the game. Every theme was perfect, but this medley only contains the level 1, level 2 and attract mode tunes.

Composed by : Kazunaka Yamane
Guitars and arrangement : Laurent Roucairol
File Format : mp3 (192 Kbps) - Size
: 6,27 Mo

 

- The Legend of Zelda (Kakariko Village)

A cheesy but efficient tune that comes with every Zelda game, with slight changes in the melody, but generally the same chord progression. This version is base on the theme you could hear in A Link to the Past.

Composed by : Koji Kondo
Guitars and arrangement : Laurent Roucairol
File Format : mp3 (128 Kbps) - Size
: 3,73 Mo

- Hybris (Ingame)

This Amiga shooting icon taught us that the concept of groove can be as important in a video game as it is in popular music, with this tune that fitted the action so well that it wasn't a problem to hear it, and nothing else, during the entire game. This was also one of the first Amiga music to give this computer some kind of musical identity (notes : keyboard themes are played by hand).

Composed by : Paul van der Valk

- Megaman X (Spark Mandrill's stage)

Capcom made Rockman, alias Megaman, the most stakhanovist video game hero of all time, but gamers don't complain about it, considering the number of great tunes the series contains. Here's one of them.

- Hinotori (Firebird)

Adapted from an anime by Osamu Tezuka, this excellent game, featuring a Pocky&Rocky-like gameplay, is little-known in Europe for it was launched exclusively for MSX2 computers. It featured neo-classical themes, typical of what Konami made at the time.

- Jet Set Willy (Atari 8-bits - Ingame)

Out of the countless versions of Jet Set Willy, only the one for Atari 400/800 featured this Rob Hubbard tune, wich is full of variations. Only a part of them were kept for this remix, for it not to last more than 4mn and bore if listened while not playing the game.

Composed by : Rob Hubbard
Guitar and arrangements : Laurent Roucairol

- Conker's Bad Fur Day (Windy)

In the game, this theme appears several times, converted to different styles : creole, blue-grass... This version puts the emphasis on electric guitar, wich wasn't done before. The intro covers Funeral March for Queen Mary, composed by Henry Purcell in 1695, a classic used for Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange opening shot, wich is reproduced in the beginning of Conker's Bad Fur Day.

- Bubble Bobble & Rainbow Islands - Medley

Poutrax covers two pionners in cute-game music.

Of course, the original version is played here.

- The Great Gianna Sisters - Level 1

When a copycat is really inspired, it can result in something like Great Gianna Sisters, a fac-simile of Super Mario Bros for the C64 and the Amiga/ST that managed to make Nintendo react, maybe because it was a really good game. The main ingame-theme proved that Chris Huelsbeck could astonishly well adapt to any game genre, without ever losing the melodic style that made his signature instantly recognizable

- Final Fantasy 6 - Celes

A nice ballad with accoustic guitar, and it's the first time a Gromix was done with a bottleneck playing the melody.

Composed by : Nobuo Uematsu

Guitars and arrangements : Olivier 'Ozzy' Tamagna
File format : mp3 (128 Kbps) - Size : 3,7 Mo

- Batman (NES) - Streets Of Desolation

This Gromix proves that in what's regarded as the best Batman-licensed game ever, music doesn't lack energy.

Composed by : Nobuyuki-kun, Kodaka-san

Guitars and arrangements : Olivier 'Ozzy' Tamagna
File format : mp3 (128 Kbps) - Size : 3,69 Mo

- Super Mario Bros 2 (Overworld)

This jazzy theme taken from Super Mario Bros 2 (the US version of the game) comes rearranged as a tribute to Django Reinhardt, assuming that he could have played with a heavy-rock rythmic section. This is the first Gromix to feature a lot of accoustic guitar in the lead parts.

Guitars and arrangements : Olivier 'Ozzy' Tamagna
File format : mp3 (128 Kbps) - Size : 3,81 Mo

- Axelay (Level 1)

Developed for Konami by a team that was bound to create Treasure Studios some years later, Axelay can be distinguished like all of his author's games by surprising and beautiful musics, extremely melodic and so perfectly arranged that they could modulate the player's emotions while playing.

- Megaman X - Boomer Kuwanger's Stage

Guitars and arrangements : Olivier 'Ozzy' Tamagna
File format : mp3 (128 Kbps) - Size : 3,33 Mo

- Sonic Chaos (Final Boss)

A final bossfight is generally a moment of culminating stress. The more it puts the player's nerves to the test, the more relieved the latter will feel after victory, wich is inevitable because you can't give up at such an advanced stage! The strange and detuned feeling of this tune should so be considered as deliberated. Sometimes, video game music's like that..

- Metroid (Kraid's Hideout)

This anguishing theme comes from a legendary OST of the NES. It's revisited as a tribute to the art of guitarist Jason Becker. Don't listen to it in the dark!

- Halo

The game was an instant classic, its music too. This version begins with the piano notes that concluded the Halo 1 soundtrack CD, and continues with the well-known Halo theme. This Gromix needed intense work and communication whithin the Gromix team. All of us play in it.

- Legend of Faerghail

As a Dongeon Master-like RPG, Legend of Faerghail contained very few musics or sounds, but a nice Pink Floydish theme opened the game and another could be heard after completing it. This Gromix covers the first one.

Composed by :
Andreas Starr
Guitars and arrangements : Laurent Roucairol

This theme mixes fear and melancoly in a way that would suffice to prove that Konami's response to Resident Evil has a real artistic value.

- Bubsy (Main theme)

Although not without flaws, this Sonic western cousin, besides its very Amigaish graphics and hilarious vocal samples, came to your SNES with a bang. Its music had some swing, to wich this version tries to add a seventies feeling to.

- Blaster Master (Stage 1)

The Level 1 theme of this mix between horizontal shooting in a tank and vertical shooting by foot, developed in 1988 by Sunsoft, comes rearranged in a jazz-rock way. You bassist folks don't worry, in this recording only guitars are played by a human being!

- Xenon 2 (Megablast)

A cult-game needs a cult-music. This energic and nicely repetitive theme wich permanently illustrates Xenon 2 (the only shooting game ever where you can scratch the scrolling like a DJ) was a cover of the song "Megablast" recorded in 1987 by Bomb the Bass (i.e. Tim Simenon), rearranged for the game by the inevitable David Whitaker as a MOD wich was pretty close to the original. Note that the main theme of this song comes from the film Assault on precinct 13 directed by John Carpenter (who also wrote the music).

- Gauntlet (NES Version Theme)

Although the original Gauntlet didn't include music, the NES version edited by Atari under the Tengen label featured this theme wich resembles JS. Bach's Fuga II. Making a punk-rock arrangement of it was obviously the next step!

- Pocky & Rocky 2 (Dragon Ride)

Pocky&Rocky 1 and 2 (known in Japan as Kiki kai kai) are 2d vertical "by foot"shooting games like Chaos Engine or Knightmare, developed by Taito and edited for the SNES by Natsume. They have two particularities : working brillantly in coop (two players) and featuring a bunch of excellent musics. Here's one of them, mixing guitar and synths.

- Out Run (Last Wave)

This version of the closing Out Run theme stresses its melancolic feel, just like when you leaving a place forever. But Out Run is a sacred land you'll always keep on returning to. Real cool jazz in a video game can be quite a good thing.

- Final Fantasy (Battle)

Final Fantasy was launched in Japan in 1987. In that first episode, the musical compositions were already polished. Nobuo Uematsu proved he could move players, even with the limited sound specs of the NES. This Gromix covers the main combat theme. Have fun.

The King of Fighters series features numerous themes, too much to remember them all, probably. This one is particular for its blues/funk feeling, and contains interesting melodies wich are rather imaginative, considering their harmonic range. This song corresponds to character Blue Mary, wich comes from the Fatal Fury series and appears in KOF97 and KOF98 as a guest star.

This hilarious platform game was an ode to good taste : you could kill enemies with your belly! It also contained a brillant music, inspired by heavy-rock bands of the seventies (it's quite similar to Buck's Boogie by Blue Oyster Cült), wich sounded much better on Amiga than on SNES.

- Mach Rider

A classic arcade game that was also available for the NES, typical of what Nintendo did before focusing on Shigeru Miyamoto's concepts. Mach Rider is a game where you race with a bike and shoot you opponents. The music is ambitious, but it's impossible to determin exactly who composed it.

- Bubble Bobble

This is the typical 80's arcade-resort ambient music. A tune that's as obsessionnal as the item collecting during the game that featured it.

- Super Mario Bros 2 - Ending Theme

A the end of Super Mario Bros 2 (PAL version), Mario realises he's been dreaming everything that happened in the game (don't tell me you were unaware of that!), and this music illustrates the scene.

When Nintendo delivers its own vision of a Tetris-like, you obtain a very difficult game, with haunting musics.

This wonderful game diserved an appropriate theme, that could be as epic and rich as to recall the whole saga.

A definite standard to platform gaming music, this theme has been played a lot of different ways. This is a heavy-rockin' version.

- Outrun - Magical Sound Shower

To hear this very eighties theme while playing Sega's mega-hit, you had to steer left when the game asked you to chose a music, when the car-radio appeared on the screen. The song is quite long because it was supposed to last all the game long even if the player reached the end of the course.

Another classic. It's the very first music of the very first Sonic. It has speed, and melody too.

- Pac-Mania - Block Town

Very well composed, this musical vision of the Pac-Man universe diserved a guitar oriented remix. It's the first level tune, obviously the best-known in such a difficult game.

- Young Merlin - Labyrinth Theme

Young Merlin is an adventure game for the SNES, with very cute and funny graphics. This is no impressive game at first look, but if you spare it some time you'll discover a captivating challenge. This nice medieval theme plays while the player tries to find his way in a vegetal maze, full of intricate puzzles. You had some time to listen to it, and love it. This version is played on electric guitar.

- Stormlord - High Score Theme

One of the most lovable game of the C64 era. The Amiga version had some music by the Maniacs of Noise.
This is the high-score theme, rarely remixed (remixers generally prefer to work on the intro theme)

- DX-Ball - Intro Theme

This Arkanoid clone looked like an Amiga although it was developed for the PC by Michael P. Welch and the late Seulas McNally. It's one of the most popular shareware of its time. When the game starts, you can hear this music while the various bonuses of the game are shown. It was originally a public domain MOD, and the author isn't credited.
