Mega Turrican - Stage 1-2 (GEN) (PRC399)
Outline
"It's a shame about Truxton, i'd thought it get some attention. Not to worry, i suppose the bright side, is that i get to pick another tune. In this case, Mega Turrican, a game with a seriously underrated soundtrack (No wonder Chris Hulsbeck is often hailed as the top ten Amiga composers).
The game, like i said is Mega Turrican, and the track name is Stage 1-2. As you can tell, there is no composition titles, it goes by stage number. I think during a re-release, there might have been titles. All i know, is that it officially goes by stage number. So in this case, Stage 1 - Act 2.
Composed by Chris Hulsbeck in 1993, it's one of the best uses of synthesis in the Sega Genesis lifespan, alongside loads of games. This game often goes ignored, which is sad, because there is some amazing gems here. Most of the soundtrack, is 80's rock. Think Van Halen, but with more guitars, than synths (I'm pretty much comparing it to their hit Jump, which is a bit of a whack comparison, but it's more or less that style. 80's synthpop/rock kind of thing). Other tracks use a lot more ambience, and soundscapes for the darker moments in the game, but it's mostly a rock thing. Point being, it's a great soundtrack, and this one is one of my favourites from the game.

And my own custom made MIDI, as always.

Good luck to you all! Let's hope someone has interest in this one."

This is a BONUS. DO NOT VOTE FOR IT!
Mega Turrican is a really simple but very effective soundtrack. Love the drums in this one, surprisingly good quality for the Genesis. Arguably among the finest in FM wizardry, the sound is crisp, clean and concise, and well er...memorable. I'd say it's my one of my favourites for sure.
I really liked the 80's vibe, so i tried some FM bass patches, that i liked. As a results, it's a little 80's retro feel. Was really using this as an excuse to try some patches lol.
All in all, hope you enjoy.

FA36 plugin does not like FL 32 Bit. So I had to render the main portion of remix w/out the electric guitars. Then I had to put it into FL 64 bit and rendered the guitars as WAVs. Then I slapped them into the main mix as an audio file to avoid said plugin brain fart. This was fun to cover/rip, nonetheless.
