Just a question, why this one is mp3 instead of flac? Great job by the way, this track is one of my favorites of your remakes!

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - The previous versions of "Revenge Of Mr. X" sounded pretty good, but for this one, I needed to bring my AAA game. I believe it's never sounded better, especially with the mixture of heavy metal rhythm and twin lead guitars to bring out the menace and mayhem of Yuzo Koshiro's original composition. The song also pays tribute to "Big Boss" from Streets of Rage 1, with an identical ending passage to link the two games together. 

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🔥 - "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🔥 - "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🔥 - "Ready Funk" is a fun little tune, and I always loved the quirky expansion I built onto the original song. Nothing much has changed here, except a much cleaner, wider and vibrant sonic mix. Fitting for the final release.

🔥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🔥 - "Alien Power" was a song I was mostly happy with, but I wanted to get it just right for the FINAL CRASH edition. So, a lot of careful critiquing, back-and-forth, full track analyzation to properly EQ, balance and master this baby, complete with wicked heavy metal guitars in tow with a much nicer and smoother balance. Hope you all enjoy it.

🔥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. 

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🔥 - "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!

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.
