Source: Stardust (Amiga) - Boss Theme 4

"Hello, here's PRC391.

I'd thought i'd try an Amiga game, because it has a library of great soundtracks. The game is Stardust and this is Boss Theme Number 4. This triggers in level 4 of the game.

The entire soundtrack is heavily underrated and honestly unnoticed. Only true Amiga gamers will know the soundtrack, while others might well not. The game itself is a shooter, done in a more 3d environment, using sort of an illusion to generate this, never-ending tunnel aspect. I don't know exactly what it is, but it is arguably the most impressive aspect about the game, especially for 1993.

The music is also really good. Despite it coming from a infamous genre, known as techno, it's actually less repetitive as you assume it would be. What i love about the score, is all the intricate details that come in, and some of the rhythmical aspects can throw you off guard making for a truly nice slightly wonky feel. The score itself is rich and dynamic and there is a lot of scope for experimentation. It is one of the more memorable scores to the Amiga. I'd love to see an remix album of this one day, but for now, here ya go."

And of course, i like to make my own midi.

It is not necessary to use ThaSauce. You can upload the song anywhere you want, but I must have a download link.

Listen to the Soundtrack:


 
 Information about the Game and Soundtrack: 

Battle Garregga is a bullet hell shoot-em-up created by Razing, and Published by Enlightening. The game was a big hit, in Japan, despite not being localised in America or Europe. The game involves a series of ships, in which you select a ship, and transverse through various stages destroying a large quantity of enemies, 2 many to be useful. Because of the nature of it's ridiculous fast gameplay, it is only necessary and ideal, for it to be packed with an equally fast-paced soundtrack. Scored by Manabu Namiki, using a combination of FM synthesis from the YM2151, and 4 channels of PCM, it is considered one of the best soundtracks in Shoot-Em-Ups, which i can agree. The whole soundtrack features Underground Resistance Styled Techno Compositions, nested with occasional breakbeat tracks, as well as heavy emphasis of dark atmosphere, a feature in UR and Jeff Mills, 2 of Techno's finest acts, with one being a Label and a Group, and one, a solo artist with, incredible speed in mixing. I've seen the guys work. Also included, prominently in the boss battles, is fast paced hardcore, a genre known by few, for it's loud distorted repetitive beats. Although for some, like me it can sound awesome, especially those who are familiar, or for others, it can sound like a giant fart. I'm sorry, it is believe it or not, an acquired taste. Don't blame me though, blame the many fans who love this soundtrack, and i'm no exception. I'm not trying to tell you, this is in my top ten, but i'm sure you get the idea...excuse me...

Compo starts Today at 12th April 2019! and finishes at 26th April 2019!

Voting begins on the 26th April 2019 and finishes on the 3rd May 2019. I will inform you who has won on the thread!

Please submit a valid mp3 file, in decent quality that is less than 20mb. It must be easy to access and download. A ThaSauce page will be set up soon, so if you can then submissions. It's been an on/off situation with ThaSauce, so SoundCloud is a good choice if ThaSauce isn't working for you. Right now nothing is set up, so submissions will have to be external from this thread, via download links, or streaming services. I recommend using SoundCloud as a choice of service! Add a link here on this thread, if you can.

You have 2 weeks to mix! Let's see what you have come up with! Good Luck!

Nobody has won, so anyone can enter with a full submission!
