Advance Wars: Dual Strike (NDS) (PRC466)
Outline
Source: Advance Wars: Dual Strike (NDS)
"I don't have a source in the traditional sense. Instead, I'd rather leave it a bit more open ended and go for any track in Advance Wars: Dual Strike. Most of the tracks are rather short. Hopefully, this is not an issue. Also, only Advance Wars has anything on OCR and I was unable to locate anything in PRC library either. But they fit the game really well. Unfortunately, there are not readily available MIDIs for each track. However, VGMusic does have the following:
Andy's Theme, Black Hole CO Power, Courage, Drake's Theme, Jake's Theme, Javier's Theme, Kindle's Theme, Sasha's Theme, Tag Power, Von Bolt's Theme, and the Yellow Comet Theme.
The entire OST can be listened to on YouTube. Great turn based strategy game. Unfortunately, the Tag CO Power completely broke the game.
Cheers,
-APZX"

ReMix of "Black Hole CO Power"
It's short 'cause I'm re-learning how to use all these tools after 10 years. 1:38 is meant to be a loop point, but I didn't want to actual loop through the song twice so I just did a lazy fade-out. Enjoy.
I did Hachi's Theme in the style of a sort of Electronica feel. It's got synths, it's got electronic drums, what more can i really tell you. In terms of expansion, i just added drums in the 2nd loop of the piece, followed by a breakdown into a lead solo melody. It's not the most elaborate, because i didn't spent a lot of time on this, as i was busy with a lot of things to dedicate a full session to this. However it is something, and it was a lot more than just a MIDI rip. There was a lot of sound stuff that went into this. I'm surprised i didn't check the OST though, as there was a lot of gems to be found in the music. Very much reminds me of like Propellerheads or something. That Electronic Big Beat styled rock music. There was also a lot of orchestral pieces, and more general electronic pieces. But in the end, i ended up with an Hawaiian styled piece lol. Largely because it gets me into a more creative mode. Oh well, hope you like it anyways!
I was halfway through writing lyrics for Andy's Theme when I realized that since I never played the game, I don't even know who this Andy guy is, or why he even deserves a theme. Have some AI instrument leads instead of lyrics, then.
For an antagonist, Von Bolt's theme may take a minute to get rolling but when it does? It is pure glory. With that said this is a straight forward take on it. Its a bit aggressive, but that is kind of the point. Its pushed a bit too hard, but that is kind of the point. Long live the leader of the Black Hole.
