🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Disco" is one of the most annoying and repetitive tracks in Streets of Rage 3, and since it's barely 30 seconds long, there was very little to work with. However, that's always part of the fun, and a great challenge for me. For this version of the song, I wanted to play up the rapid-fire club elements of the 1990s dance scene, as made famous by the best rave, house and techno acts of the time period. 

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🔥 - "Percussion" is a very tricky tune with a Caribbean-style beat and a lot of abstract elements, which is why it took some time to figure out a way to branch off into an accompanying section.  I'm happy with what I came up with, and I think it's a nice departure from the main theme, without leaving it entirely.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Happy Paradise" lives up to its name with a positive swing, flanked by a series of slightly disjointed and warped notes in order to remain faithful to the rest of the SOR3 soundtrack. I capitalized on this slightly off-kilter feel in order to build out my expansion, alternating back and forth between the warped notes and the happiness of the stock track. The objective was to put a smile on your face. Are you "happy?"

🔥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.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Moon" is one of the more straightforward and accessible tracks in SOR3, but I had a hell of a time figuring out where to go with it.  I decided not to deviate too far away from the original when it came to the expansion, but I also wanted to play up the positive vibes a bit more. Therefore, the expansion is all about capitalizing on the positive feel of the song as a compliment, rather than a replacement.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Robo X" is a semi-boss track that unfortunately didn't get a lot of attention in the original game. It's a simple, straightforward song with odd time signatures that loops very fast, leaving very little material to draw from. I decided to just go with my instinct to construct a middle section, while blending new parts with existing material to create a more fleshed out version. It's also worth noting that I incorrectly titled this song "Mr. X," which is incorrect. That was now been fixed.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - Unless you're a diehard acid techno fan, "Crazy Train" will undoubtedly drive you.......crazy. Expanding this song was a challenge, but I ended up slicing the track into three equal parts, stuffing my own content in between, then tightening it up with a mid section that hopefully gives it room to breathe. For the FINAL CRASH edition of the soundtrack, I added some more menace to the expansion so counteract the poppy feel of my original Gold Edition last year.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "The Poets I" is the second of two songs with the same name, and occurs during the "bad" path in Streets of Rage 3, if players fail to save the life of the Chief. It's a dark number with a strong beat and a powerful melody, and I wanted to play up the emotion of the song by amplifying that resonance, tenfold. Lots of additions and enhancements, as well as the expansion, in order to create a more thrilling, rousing and triumphant song.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Cycle II" continues the abstract acid-techno vibe of its predecessor, not to mention many other songs on the Streets of Rage 3 soundtrack. I decided to infuse it with some traditional 90s-flavored synths, landlord stabs and constructs for the middle section, in order to add to the wackiness of the track.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Inga Rasen" is one of the most acid-infused techno tracks on the entire Streets of Rage 3 album, but I wanted to take everything I learned from dark mid-90s Goa trance, and apply it to this track for a powerful balance. The entire song is meant to evoke the chaos of the first stage of the final battle, and my expanded section tries to suck the listener down a terrifying vortex of frantic energy and paranoia.
