''BARE KNUCKLE'' [/rasp] Played this game this evening, and other than Axel's hideous yellow shirt, it's the explosive device. This soundtrack was made by Yuzo Koshiro, the one and only, in late '93 or early '94, and I'll be god DAMNED if this isn't some weird, adapted form of IDM. The first two games had some nice beats. Funky, house, techno, dance, you name it. Tunes to dance or crack skulls to. In 3, fucker had carte blanche to do whatever he wanted, and threw everything at that electronic canvas. Keep in mind the Genesis had a relatively bad sound chip, not even close to the SUPER NES'. He coaxed some Devine-ish shit out of that warbly garbly chip. Bleeps and bloops and squeals and mechanical drones and jagged clinky clanks, man... it's a one of a kind soundtrack on that system, and that whole generation. Leans toward 4/4 techno beats, like the previous Bare Knuckles, but the sounds are way far out and stretch out over several minutes in some cases, with all kinds of variations and mutations. Nearly unheard of back then, man, in this form. Some of it is fucking abstract. and non sensical. What the hell are those noises during the Ninja Infested Subway? Christ, it would have fit right in on EP7! Of course, 8 years ago when I played it, it sounded like convoluted garbage, dischordant noise. I know better now because I'm so much smarter, a ha! But really, this is an interesting soundtrack, it compares favorably to any electronic music of the time, for me... it's a damn shame he doesn't regularly do music anymore. From Shinobi to Act Raiser, he was the man. I still think SOR2 had the best music of the series, but SOR3 was really something else. That Genesis sound chip was gritty and mean. |

I heard a lot of Tri Repetae/EP and LP in this stuff, and it was YEARS before those. I just thought it was funny because I haven't played this game in a long time, not since I've been into electronic music, and it was pretty jarring. |

I swear to you I was going to make this thread like 3 days ago. |

yeh, i agree with you on the genesis sound thing... that system had some bite to it, like broken glass type sounds. grainy little thing. i dig this game series too... kinda basic and sorta simple, but fun. |

We are one. Tibbar, have you heard 3? The first two are what I'd consider simple and basic (and lovely), but the third one has some head scratcher tracks. It's downright avant garde and shocking considering the hardware, to me. |

no, i havent... i dont know if ive played that... i might, but maybe just dont remember the music. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i guess i just sorta assumed you were exagerating it a bit, but im genuinely curious now |
||||||||

Here's all , for anyone who's interested. Use to play the files. Selection Screen, Lab, Hideout New Building (definite AE groove on that one, the tempo seems all out of whack), Moving Platform... probably my faves. BGM02 is insane, maybe the longest and most complex Genesis track around. |

Zophar, damn you! Copy and paste these. http://www.zophar.net/gym/sor3.rar http://www.zophar.net/utilities/download/Meridian109.exe |

wow, this is really wild-sounding. it's surprisingly aggressive and hard-edged. i'm not into the dancy stuff, but there's some really good tracks in there. very interesting and worthwhile listening. thanks, ophecks. i'm really not into this meridian software, though. |

Any OS X apps to play this? Any links to where I could download a rom? |
||||||||
|
|

|

on research, just found This is the game you're talking about? Does Streets of Rage have the same music? On Googling the author (Yozo Koshiro): If this is the same game/person, wonder if any of the other soundtracks for those games is the same style. |
||||||||
|

|

OS X player at And I meant does Bare Knuckle have the same music. I've known of Japanese games that have been renamed by Sega/Nintendo and they trash some really cool sound tracks with complete crap. :-( |

This music is pretty wild. I'd really like to play the game now! |

Sonic CD has one nice track, track 21 if you get the emulation pack. It was mentioned here briefly once. If you're on linux (mac users can utilize this as well), play with the xmms plugin 'xymms'. this music sucks by the way boo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you know of a site I could go to to get the sonic songs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

the sonic CD ones I grabbed in a huge pack off of edonkey. I did seem them piece by piece once, after lots of digging through google. For other sonic versions I just enjoy it in a stupefied nostalgic way while playing.. lots of people have made midi versions of sonic music, but I guess they did it by ear because there were lots of notes wrong, sometimes it was transposed (I have perfect pitch), and the instruments were always crap. eh that track 32 is like 1 meg I could email it to you |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
damnit I'm really a mongoloid.. track 21, not 32 |
||||||||
|
|

|

yeah if you would email it to me that would be great :) my email is public. (click my name) |
||||||||

email sent.. I'll tell you if it bounces. g'night |

I love both Streets Of Rage 1 and 2..I got Sega Genesis 16 bit and I love that tho. I get very nostalgic when I hear about these games :) Ophecks I love those Streets of rage tracks (excellent soundtrack)!!! How to make them into mp3s!!? I wanna burn em on a cd. And where can I find Streets of rage 3 and play it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
s'alright. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard the whole thing now and some of the tracks was really weak :( some was great tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's a great track on there by cEvin key. |
||||||||
|

Very very good music from ol' Yuzo Koshiro. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

playing it in PAL i noticed the songs didn't keep the tempo in my version!? (swedish). Even if the song where just playing in sound test.. wierd. Btw, hearing these tracks in the right tempo for the first time rocks! Thanks Ophecks!!! |
||||||||

Yeah, that's something I notice with Genesis ROMS/.gyms... sometimes the tempo is all over the place, and it doesn't sound right. Thunder Force 4's .gym file is pretty erratic. That's one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, and that drives me nuts. Xf- yeah, the soundtracks are the same in the US and Japanese versions. The game was degraded on the trip over, though. WAY too hard... Another mega aggressive techno-based Genesis soundtrack is Contra Hard Corps. Anyway, now for a random smattering of links. SOR1 and 2 soundtracks, may as well post them for convenience's sake- http://www.zophar.net/gym/sor1.rar http://www.zophar.net/gym/sor2.rar And the SOR3 ROM http://home.no.net/cocolola/feriebilder/sor3.zip |

Thunderforce 4's soundtrack was brilliantly bonkers. Same with strider, totally atonal and harsh in places. |
