Now, this extension should be put into a looped mix

Love this track in so many levels 🤩👏👏👏 Good job

An ITALO DISCO track made in a 72h run...It's not dark nor happy...it has his own emotions.

Let's take a trip !

Anthem For A Dream

riCo - Anthem For A Dream

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Go Straight" is one of the hardest Streets of Rage songs to mix, balance and master. After years of fighting it, I've finally created a version that I feel most happy with. I don't think I'll ever get it perfect (nothing is), but this is the closest to the vision I wanted. This is one of the hardest rocking video game tunes ever created, and I'm proud to build on Yuzo Koshiro's dynamite ingenuity and imagination with my expanded sections.

NOTE: This is the "Final Crash" edition of the song, in reference to the last time I will be touching the original SOR soundtracks. I now consider them totally complete.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - When planning for the FINAL CRASH editions of Streets of Rage 2, I realized that my original project files had been lost. So, I took the opportunity to create an entirely new version of "In The Bar" to round out the package. I think it sounds better than ever, and I'm happy with how it turned out. With smooth saxophones, flutes and funky horns, this is one jazzy, sexy rendition of a Koshiro klassic!

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Never Return Alive" is the one track that blew everyone away when I expanded it years ago. Now, I'm happy to put out the FINAL CRASH edition of the song, with the best balancing, clarity and power to bring out the sound. With thrashing heavy metal rhythm guitars and thumping beats, I wanted to pay homage to Koshiro's work with a Boss theme to end ALL Boss themes.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Spin On The Bridge" has always been a challenge to master, given how much insanity is going on inside the song. It's positively manic, with a deep sub-bass that will rip the speakers apart, making it very hard to EQ and master. I'm happy with this final edition of my expanded and enhanced version, and I hope you all get in the spirit of the game, especially when you play Streets of Rage X by F-Games, where I provide the official soundtrack.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - I was very, very happy with the Gold Edition of "Dreamer" that I did a little over a year ago. However, I'm now replacing it with the FINAL CRASH edition, which is the way it was meant to be heard. I'm so pleased with the emotion, the power, the sheer energy of the expansion I built onto Koshiro's landmark original. He provided the inspiration. I just let it flow. This, without a doubt, is the song I would like to dedicate most to him.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Under Logic" sounded great when I released the Gold Edition, but there was room for improvement. There's a lot of layers going on here, especially with the Shamen samples I added in as an homage to Yuzo Koshiro's own influence. The result is a thumping, rollicking, high-energy hit n' run that I am so proud of! Enjoy this ultimate version, and my expansion.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - I was never happy with the last release of "Slow Moon," which I felt was unbalanced in a few places. The song lacked the emotion and heart of Yuzo Koshiro's original, and my expansion felt flat as a result. This time, I've brought out all the feels for this smooth, beautiful and haunting song. This is the ultimate version that I wanted to release.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Wave 131" is one of the expanded and enhanced SOR songs that I'm most proud of. I've always loved how the energy flows in the expansion, building off the original song. This time, the EQing and remastering I did for the FINAL CRASH edition simply fleshes it out more. This is a song that begs to be cranked to high volumes!

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - There was always something missing in each and every previous version of "Back To The Industry" that I did. Either the mix was lacking, the expansion fell flat, or there wasn't enough power in the song. This FINAL CRASH edition rectifies that with a much more powerful and energetic expansion that builds momentum until it circles back to the original song. This, right here, is how it should have been. Better late than never!

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - The last version of "Max Man" I put out for the Gold Edition releases contained flaws that I was never happy with. I wanted this FINAL CRASH version to be the most powerful and correct of all. That took lots of listening, tweaking and balancing in order to get right. I absolutely adore how thrilling this version sounds, especially with the expanded section I built onto Motohiro Kawashima's original track. I feel it all fits, and perfectly fleshes out the song past the limitations of a Sega Genesis cartridge.
