Don't get me wrong. Central Park is seminal and is probably the reason most people listen to the whole soundtrack. However....this song is the shit!!! Fucking love it.

I just loved the Last Ninja music on the c64. These little gems are timless piceses of great computer music history.. This tune, makes the hair on my arms stand right up :D, It's just beautiful.. I remember playing this back in 1988, it's amazing what the "SID" chip could actually do:D No wonder that ppl still makes synths with the SID chip included The Last Ninja along with Katakis is my musical favs on the c64

I'm a big TD and C64 music fan, and heard this before I ever got into Tangerine Dream, so was very surprised when I came across Alchemy, as I thought this track was a C64 original. However, this is such a remix and goes off on its own path after a while and I love it, as I do all the Last Ninja 1 and 2 tracks...

Not much are stolen. He just used the "opening" and made a badass version of it. I LOVE Matt Gray and his music is better than the original source, so personally i just LOVE that he did this. Tnx Matt Gray and Tangerine Dream, for inspiring him. Best soundtrack ever. He did the same with at least two other tracks too, and thank god that he did. They all sound AWESOME and WAY better than the original songs =) MAD LOVE
@scottythegreat14 жыл бұрын
I read and listen to inspirations for video game music. After listening to Alchemy of the heart, I have picked out Super Castlevania IV (The Chandeliers) and Star Ocean (Purge thyself...although purge thyself is a lot slower...its still in there) that possibly borrowed from Alchemy of the heart (for those who like to listen, both of those tracks, listen about 3 1/2 minutes into Alchemy of the heart)...so Matt Grey isnt the only one to pick out Tangerine Dream.
