Ah, a new Smooth McGroove upload, great choice. I think I posted this before from the OST but a McGroove version is too exciting to not highlight. top dungeon theme #vgm

Man this track is such a bop! Whimsical, bouncy, and with those stunning Japanese-style flutes - an unconventional choice but one I'm a huge fan of. Paper Mario still got it.

Castlevania Judgment is a so-so game, but man, that soundtrack! It's got some of the best arrangements of some of the best music from the series.

For example, check out this version of "Iron Blue Intention" by Konami Kukeiha Club, arranged by Yasushi Asada

Yes, these legendary composers are finally getting the recognition they deserve! They are now on equal footing because they have the same musical production resources as film music, which means that no one can now deny their great talent! And we game music fans are finally understood 😌

... Today, I think people find 8-bit sounds very charming and just a different color compared to Jarre's synthesizers.

Den-Nō Studio 🎵 🎮 @dennostudio.bsky.social · Aug 15

The sound capabilities of the NES, for example, were considered cheap because the synthesizers of the time used by Jarre, for example, offered more “sophisticated” sounds (with analog hardware that was 10 times more expensive...)

The melodies in Gradius are exceptional, that's for sure ;) I think I read somewhere that it was the music in Gradius (among others) that inspired Koshiro to compose game music. I really like shmups, but I've always found the original Gradius far too frustrating and difficult for me 😅

Den-Nō Studio 🎵 🎮 @dennostudio.bsky.social · Aug 15

On the other hand, you had to pay close attention to the melodic-harmonic aspect, which was very rich in the 8/16 bit period.

PERFECT SELECTION GRADIUS（グラディウスⅠ～Ⅲアレンジ）

Den-Nō Studio 🎵 🎮 @dennostudio.bsky.social · Aug 15

I completely agree. And the Japanese were already very interested in game music in the 80s. In Europe, I remember that the professional musicians of the time didn't really take it seriously because of the very synthetic sounds.

This post has made me want to listen to the first Symphony Ys album again! I looked at the date, it came out in 1988 🤯 Japan really was in the future in the 80s.

Los amantes de las navecitas estamos enloquecidos con el recopilatorio de Gradius, #Salamander3 y #Earthion, el nuevo shoot'em up para Megadrive.

Viene bien recordar que hubo un momento en que se hizo ESTO con la música de Gradius.

Behind every arrangement, some layers stay in the shadows. Here's the orchestral part from my #shinobi remix. It could almost be the start of a whole new version.

I didn't play this game much on my Saturn at the time, I admit... but the CD was played a lot on my discman for its OST!
