Thunder Force IV - Fighting Back (Stage 1A)

An upload of the Stage 10 boss theme from the Technosoft game Thunder Force IV (known as Lightening Force: Quest for the Darkstar in the U.S.A.) for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive which was released in 1992(July in Japan, September in North America, and December in Europe).  I do not claim this as my own. © Technosoft, Sega, and all other respectful owners.

Thunder Force IV - 28 - War Like Requiem (Stage 10 Boss)

"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.

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 - Omake 2 (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.

All things Retro Videogame music! Mostly 16bit from the Japanese sector but occasionally featuring Western titles, too. Sometimes more recent music is featured like that of Playstation- or later Windows games.

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.
