"Venus Fire," I believe, is the best song on the Thunder Force III soundtrack, and the one I remember the most, with it's blistering-fast BPM, machine gun tom fills and lush sci-fi synthesizer work. I wanted it to be perfect, so I took the time to painstakingly recreate this song, note-for-note, with all the subtle pitch-bending and vibrato that the original is so well known for. Next came the expansion, and I knew it had to bring the fire, while still sounding like a completely natural and logical addition to the original song. The result is, I think, a success, and whether you agree or disagree, I do hope you'll all join me on this sonic thrill ride! Let's turn up the volume and have some fun!

Venus Fire • Stage 2 - Gorgon (Expanded & Enhanced) • THUNDER FORCE III

"The Grubby Dark Blue," with its rather interesting and somewhat silly title, is one of the lighter songs on the Thunder Force III soundtrack, and while I didn't want to mess with that formula, I did want to intensify it a bit by adding a much more impactful and thrilling middle section not present in the original song. I believe this brings a much-needed boost to the intensity of the original, especially for those who have ever played this stage on Mania difficulty mode.

This particular track also represents a new paradigm shift in my mixing and mastering capabilities, thanks to a brand new professional studio that will be used for the production of my debut solo album, to be announced soon. For now, please enjoy.

I've always wanted to hear what these songs sounded like with real sounding drums, so I did them myself. Many more on my bandcamp site.

Thunder Force IV - Strike Out (Remastered)

I made this one in a few days. I got the entire song done in one day, then spent the next 2/3 days polishing and refining the mix as well as the instrumentation. Unlike my previous SC-88Pro MIDI, which was an SC-55 MIDI converted to work with it, this was made ground up for the device. And lemme tell ya, this thing is better than any other Roland Sound Canvas module, heck, probably the entire Yamaha XG series, too, yeah, I said it. Roland forever, come at me, lol..

Made in FL Studio 20 with the Roland SC-VA Sound Canvas emulator.

{SC-88Pro} ~ Thunder Force IV - "Sand Hell": MIDI Cover

Hey whoasers, I said I thought I wouldn't do another one of these again, turns out I was lying, unbeknownst to myself :OOOOOO

But yeah, I'm very proud of this one. It's one of those covers that just sounds right to me in every way. And I love the way it sounds.

One reason why I decided to cover this was because I noticed how many covers of this song got the pitchbends halfway through it incorrect. They came close, but were never entirely accurate. I think I got them as accurate as could possibly be, I strive to get the little details like that as close as possible to the original.

And I've got at least two more in the pipeline. One of which being a cover of a Tim Follin song, and another being a cover of a chiptune song that's original to SoundCloud. o_O

But yeas, as always, I hope you enjoy this!

Made with the Roland SC-VA VST in FL Studio 20.

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.
