There is a typo in the title, I think. Should have been Streets of Rage 3, instead of 2.

🔥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🔥 - 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🔥 - "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🔥 - "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. 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.

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.
