Burning Up Jacod Retro Remix Instrumental

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Oct. 25/23🔥 - "Fighting In The Street" encapsulates everything that is awesome about Streets of Rage, and I wanted to expand on its high energy and club-worthy atmosphere with a powerful expansion that builds up momentum towards a massive sonic bomb worthy of the game's skull-cracking intensity. 

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 / Oct. 25/23🔥 - "Attack The Barbarian" is a ruthless track that is offset by funky club dance elements pertinent to the early 1990s electronic scene. I wanted to expand on Yuzo Koshiro's aggressive boss theme with a more fleshed out take that adds to the menace of the original track, without detracting from its impact.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Oct. 25/23🔥 - When I originally tackled "Dilapidated Town," I wanted to make it more groovy and accessible, as I felt the original was a bit too "bippity-boppity" with its PSG chip elements. Some piano here, an appropriately simplistic saxophone there, and voila...an expansion that compliments the original, while sounding totally unique unto itself.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Oct. 25/23🔥 - "Moon Beach" is one of my most favorite Streets of Rage tunes, and it's a brilliant example of Yuzo Koshiro's musical expressionism. My take on it sought to build the most naturally-sounding expansion onto the original song as possible, while building up the momentum to unbearably awesome heights. I believe I've achieved that, and I couldn't be happier with it.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Oct. 25/23🔥 - "Keep The Groovin" is a special song for me. It was the first of my expansions that felt the most natural to me in terms of progression, as if it had been there since the beginning, but never actually released. Smooth, emotional elements and instrumentation help boost the straightforward delivery of the original song, while fleshing out its depth in the process.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Oct. 25/23🔥 - "Stealthy Steps" is one of the tracks I am most proud of. The original song was very simple, very light in terms of content, and didn't really have much going for it. My expansion was intended to make it seem as if the original song was but an intro for what's to come, and I think I've achieved that here. It references Yuzo Koshiro's original composition at every turn, while amplifying it with an expansion that builds, and Builds...and BUILDS...before circling back again. I love it, and no matter how many times I hear it, it still brings a smile to my face.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Oct. 25/23🔥 - "Violent Breathing" was one of those original Streets of Rage songs that didn't actually sound very violent at all. My intention was to give the song its due by incorporating a more powerful expansion that starts off with a dazzling piano and synth buildup, leading to a thunderous, riotous middle section intended to get heads banging, and feet stomping...LOUDLY!

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Oct. 25/23🔥 - "The Last Soul" is a favorite of millions of Streets of Rage fans, which meant my expansion had to bring the goods, or fail outright. The intention was to stick close to the original feel of the song, while incorporating little sections that sounded unique, yet totally natural in relation to the original. Emotional resonance was the main goal here, and I leave it to the listeners to decide if I hit the mark or not.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Oct. 25/23🔥 - "Big Boss" references elements of the original Boss theme of Streets of Rage, while also foreshadowing "Revenge of Mr. X" from Streets of Rage 2. For that reason, I wanted to create an expansion for this song that A) stood on its own as a wholly unique add-on that compliments the original, and B) lays down some references to SOR2's final Boss theme. This is a more dance-infused take on the song, which is appropriate for SOR1.

🔥 GOLD EDITION UPDATE / May 19, 2022 🔥 - This is my definitive final remaster of "Good Ending," featuring better sound balancing, stereo width, EQing and mastering to provide the ultimate clarity. I tacked on a new section at the end just to flesh out the emotion of the song a bit more, which I felt was appropriate. That's just my take.

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.
