The 8BtStereo revamp continues strong with one of the best platformers and soundtracks ever done by the Sunsoft team, its Journey to Silius! Developed under the dummy corp name of "Tokai Engineering" (so essentially still was developed by Sunsoft), was a game that remained fairly obscure in the NES lifeline, until finally being noticed and praised for its many achievements! Stellar graphics, tight and fun gameplay, and of course, the music. A soundtrack that is synonymous with many Sunsoft releases that makes use of the infamous "Sunsoft Bass" as implemented by Naohisa Morota (and assistance from Hara)! Also for the longest time Manabu Sakota was simply under the alias "Mabochan" until recently discovered the full name, and it is assumed Sakota contributed compositions alongside Kodaka for this OST, always fun learning more about a great soundtrack and the legacy of Sunsoft! :)

Trivia: Journey to Silius was originally meant to be a licensed Terminator game like Sunsoft Batman but negations for the Terminator license broke down and Sunsoft released the game anyway with minor cosmetic changes.

"Underground Concourse" is what made me look up and actually play this amazing gem of a game. Smooth, to the point gameplay, decent minimal story, killer ost, yup the footrprint of our beloved sunsoft. 4 minute long song without looping! It conveys the sheer will power of our hero to avenge his father and overturn a corrupted leader willing to slow the progress of man for profit. Cheesy but we love that power struggle, fighting to uncover a truth or overturn injustice. A very power song, maybe its overrated to some but i always find myself listening to this to give myself some hope for the future, granted, if you too, fight for that future.

i've always been a huge fan of this channel ever since i found it. i am not sure what tools you used to create either the old mixes or the newer ones. however, i just wanted to say, there will never be soundtracks like these ever again (and to an extent the SNES). there is a reason they all sound so distinctive. the sounds produced by the original hardware etched its way into human souls and created a genre we refer to now as "8 bit." if you are trying to purify that sound with some new hardware or software, i'm not sure i can agree about it.

But "Wings of Death" was released on home computers, originally the Atari ST and then ported to the Commodore Amiga. Music composed by Jochen Hippel. Here's a link to the original Atari ST version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7t6gbxjmtDGeKs.html And here are two links to the Amiga version of the soundtrack: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMl4ZJOZyLjQqKM.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sM-gnpOWzNnUk40.html I don't like the title theme quite as much, but beginning at the stage themes, it picks up and I get Journey to Silius vibes.

I have to say, I much prefer your original mix. I've listened to both the new and old a fair amount and while I prefer the more clear and better sounding instruments in this mix, the old mix has WAY better stereo separation. I also like the reverb in the old mix, but I think I would dial it down because that seemed to be a big reason it sounds less clean. On my main monitors in my studio you actually get quite a nice sound stage on the old mix. In this one all the instruments are put near the middle. I think if you can achieve a mixture of both, using the clearer sounding instruments in this mix but achieve the stereo separation in the old one, you will have an amazing mix!

I disagree and prefer this version, feeling there was a bit too much reverb in the old version detracting from the fine details. This hits the sweet spot of the more subtle reverb level enhancing the depth of soundstage without it being too obvious. However the listening experience is ultimately subjective so this is just my opinion.
