What are some of your favourite Neo Geo soundtracks?
One of the things I noticed straightaway with the Neo Geo was how good it sounds and how it's music & sound fx really help drive the whole experience.
Although it's short, I really enjoy the intro music to World Heroes 2 (Hell's Goddess No Sasayaki) which to me has a kinda Faith No More feeling or maybe even a little Celtic Frost or early Master's Hammer (minus the groovy slap bass of course). For me it's a great heavy sounding track with a simple descending heavy guitar riff and slap bass before it hits that wild synth lead (kinda sawtooth sounding?) with it's big vibrato notes and then it's all over - just like that. I believe it was Hideki Yamamoto who composed the tracks for the series and it would be really interesting to see what his influences for it were at the time.
I also really enjoy almost the entire soundtrack for Zed Blade by Manabu Namiki. Techno isn't really my thing but this is a really fun soundtrack all the way and easily brings back the feelings of nostalgia from around the 90s.
What are some of your favorite tracks from Neo Geo games? Does anybody like to play around with composition on any of these tracks for fun? (I'm sorta playing around with the WH2 track atm looking at how I could possibly make it longer just for my own entertainment) Are there any tracks you don't like or would possibly remix even?
