Stardust - Boss Theme 4 (PRC391)
Outline
"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.

This is a bonus, please do not vote for it.
So many great games with so many great soundtracks often go ignored. Unless your Amiga mad, or know your early computer games, chances are you may not know this one, which you should. The soundtrack is full of intricate synth layers, and beautiful pounding beats. Pretty much the Techno Heads golden ticket to really good music.
I actually managed to look at the mod, and i was really surprised he only used 2 channels. 2 channels, for the entire composition, yet it sounds like he used 7. That goes to show, how limiting yourself can often lead to good results.
This really is probably the more memorable and enjoyable soundtracks for this system. My take is pretty much a more 90's styled regrade. I say regrade, as both an upgrade and a remake. Rave stabs power through as hits, synth basses, you know the usual stuff. It's a bonus, so don't think about it too much. Whatever happens just enjoy it.

It was an easy decision to redo this track from the one I did last week... after 4 attempts now Im finally happy with it and this is my one and only entry. After reading the useful comments on the last compo there were a number of issues that needed to be resolved. If this is the first time you have heard it... enjoy and dont worry. Aiming to improve. Cheers.
