🔥🔥🔥NOTE: This is the FINAL CRASH edition of the soundtrack, with fully remastered tracks optimized for F-Games' STREETS OF RAGE X fan game - (Nov 23/2023) 🔥🔥🔥

Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima pulled double duty for the "Streets of Rage 3" soundtrack, and it shows. This extremely divisive soundtrack hit unprepared gamers and SOR fans like a 2x4 when it first released, but over the years, it has grown its appreciative fan base.

When I first began expanding and enhancing the "Streets of Rage" soundtracks, I was not particularly enthusiastic about tackling the third game. However, after biting the bullet, I came to enjoy the project immensely, and it's the one I'm most proud of. The sheer chaos of the soundtrack gave me room to either capitalize, or deviate from the source material in a way that, in my humble opinion, just works. 

My signature expansions are new additions to the songs in order to make them longer, and broader in scope. This is my take on what Koshiro and Kawashima would have done with more time, better hardware, and higher storage capacity. As always, EVERY song in the soundtrack has been painstakingly recreated from the ground up, note-for-note. NO sampling, NO rips, NO stems.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - The FINAL CRASH edition of my Streets of Rage soundtracks is now complete, culminating with the third game in the franchise. This frantic, chaotic and psychotic mix of breakbeat, techno and hardcore originally came courtesy of sonic geniuses Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima. My job was to rewrite every song from scratch, note-for-note, and expand on the original songs, fleshing them out with entirely new sections. When I originally began this project years ago, I thought SOR3 would be my least-favorite soundtrack to work on. As it turns out, it was the most challenging, the most rewarding, and the one I'm most proud of. Please enjoy.

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. 23/23🔥 - "Fuze" was the first song in SOR3 that signified a dramatic departure from the first two games. This soundtrack would be hardcore, and Motohiro Kawashima brought the goods. For this song, I wanted to build an expansion onto it that felt completely natural and logical, and I wanted the listener to miss the transition entirely. The objective? To create a sense that this is the definitive fleshed out version of the song. It's my take, and I hope Kawashima-san enjoys it, if he ever listens to it.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - When developing the music for Streets of Rage 3, a technique was used to artificially create randomized sequences that could not otherwise be dreamt up by the human mind.  Cycle I is a perfect example of the chaotic heavy industrial techno approach the game took, and it was a challenge to flesh this one out. Less turned out to be more, as any significant deviation would have ruined the track altogether. Great job by Motohiro Kawashima on the original composition.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - This is one of the more accessible and traditional tracks in the Streets of Rage 3 soundtrack, but it's still a gritty number that required a "less is more" approach.  I've written a brand new middle section with a more kinetic pace, and a few surprises designed to maintain the authenticity of this song, without changing too much. Happy with how it turned out.

The Poets II (Expanded & Enhanced) - STREETS OF RAGE 3

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - Dub Slash is a menacing track with a lot of abstract notes and alarming twists, so this expanded version is meant to build on that, while bringing a brief period of cohesion to the song, before it all "falls apart" again.  This was a fun track to do, and I'm happy to have cleaned it up more for the last edition.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Boss" is deservedly self-explanatory, and sums up the frantic aggression of Streets of Rage 3 quite well. Like all the songs in the soundtrack, there's plenty of room to expand, and I had a lot of fun getting creative with this one. However, the main rhythm and hook is always the central focus, constantly circling back to it, while adding some more menace and power to the original composition.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Bulldozer" is one of Streets of Rage 3's most abstract and polarizing tracks. To some, it's incredibly annoying. To others, it's a whirlwind of sonic textures and hardcore techno-infused hooks. I wanted to bridge the gap between the two by expanding on it almost like the sun breaking briefly between the clouds of a massive thunderstorm flying across the skyline at breakneck speeds, to the point where the flesh on your face is ready to peel off. Did I succeed? You be the judge.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - The original version of "Shinobi Reverse" was catchy, but far too repetitive. It should have been stretched out and sprinkled with some variety, which is why I was happy to tackle the tune. My Expanded & Enhanced version plays up the fusion of Japanese culture with a classic Shakuhachi flute sample, and a brand new section done with a traditional Japanese harp. It's got a much more authentic feel to it now - mixture of old history, and new electronica.

My name is MaestroDraven, and I recreate the classic video game songs of old, NOTE-FOR-NOTE, and then build entirely new sections designed to flesh them out and expand on the originals. This is a labor of love, and my way of paying tribute to the great composers of old.
