YM2612 + SN76489. Burning Scape and Stand Up Against Myself composed by Hideki Takahagi and Toshiharu Yamanishi, respectively. Originally published in 2016 with some more recent improvements, though unfortunately the rhythm guitar is still mangled by low quality web compression. Please download for best quality.

Thunder Force III is one of my all-time favorite side-scrolling shooter games, and I've wanted to add my own expansions onto its fantastic soundtrack for literally the past three decades at this point. Finally, the time has come. I'm kicking off this project with "The Wind Blew All Day Long," the opening theme for the game, and reference to the soundtrack's rather weird and quirky song titles. 

For this one, I wanted to take an extremely short number and really build on the momentum, until the energy levels peaked, and the whole thing crashes beautifully into the original theme. The expansions were designed as a sonic "attract mode" in my head, and fleshed out to create not just a longer song, but also a love letter to TechnoSoft, and the legions of diehard Thunder Force fans around the globe. Here's to you.

If you're digging my work, consider supporting me at patreon.com/maestrodraven or paypal.me/maestrodraven. I'd surely appreciate it!

"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!

Was trying to cover Ken's theme, not really knowing what I wanted to go for, and it eventually just turned into a full Thunder Force V style arrange!

Thunder Force IV - The Sky Line (Remastered)

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.
