Dragon Ball Z: "Ginyu Force Theme" - Rakeem's Re-Make

Here's a big one! One of my top 5 favorite tracks from "Dragon Ball Z" and the very first track you hear in the original Broadcast version of the show. "Ginyu Assault" (Episode 68) was the very first episode that switched over to the Faulconer Productions music and the new voice actors after the Ocean Dub. For those who don't know, the episode 68 that you find nowadays ever since the Remastered DVDs came out is not the original english version of the episode. The original version starts out with Burter and Jeice trying to assault Goku (to this track). The Remastered version starts off where Goku disappears and re-appears behind Burter (right in the middle of "Closing Music"). Because the Ocean Dub had edited a lot of scenes out, the original version of "Ginyu Assault" used scenes from the episode before (I know, it's complicated). Because the Remastered version (and everything after) uses the full uncut versions of the episodes, "Ginyu Assault" would no longer be the way it was on Cartoon Network or the original Single DVDs. Unfortunately , the original broadcast version is a far better experience because you have all of the missing tracks: "Ginyu Force Theme", "Frieza's Immortality Speech" (at least that's what I like to call it), "Dende Worries", "Goku Vs. Jeice & Burter", "Bulma On Namek", "Bulma and the Frog", and the first half of my absolute favorite track "Closing Music". So just in case anyone new ever wonders where this track came from, there you go.
Anyway, Mike Smith created the original track and as usual, his version is perfect! I'll link the original version of the track for anyone who hasn't heard it. This is one of those tracks I can never forget because it wasn't just some track; it was an entire experience. I wasn't there for the switchover from the Ocean Dub to the new FUNimation Dub but I've heard stories from some who were about how amazing the switch was. I started watching on TV in the Majin Buu Saga (waaayyy past the debut of this new music) in September 2002 (However, my actual first episode was "Next Up, Goku"). Although I'm fully nostalgic for that part of the story, nothing touches the span of story from "Ginyu Assault" (Episode 68) to "Goku's Alive" (Episode 107)! Perfectly written in every way from music to script to voices.
So if you tuned in to "Dragon Ball Z" on the day "Ginyu Assault" aired in 1999, you were blasted with this otherworldly awesome new track! Burter and Jeice were having a rough time trying to land a hit on Goku and all to this music! This music is the beginning of Faulconer Productions so a serious, heartfelt thank you to Mike Smith for his incredible idea and implementation of this AMAZING track! Speaking of implementation, this track is used an absurd amount of times in the show and Mike created several variations to it. Some of them just have different sounds added in, some are mixed differently, and some are pretty much their own tracks entirely.
This track was one of the very first ones I wanted to do a re-make for. It probably would have been first if the original idea wasn't so ambitious. My original idea for the re-make was to combine every version into one long track that would have been approximately 10 minutes long and I was coming up with ways it could all work but I decided against it (very recently) and to make the version you hear here and save other versions for other re-makes. So don't be sad if your favorite version didn't make it into this one. I'm not done with the "Ginyu Force Theme" yet. I also plan on giving some of my already made re-makes other chances to shine in new tracks.
Now with this all said, this is probably my longest description and it's perfectly ok if you skip it. I just like to write haha. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

1:21 absolutely love it Rakeem

[@dannylewis8397]

It would be awesome if you gave ‘Prince of Saiyans’ and ‘Vegeta vs Jeice’ themes a go, I just know they’d sound incredible and are a couple of my favourite tracks

[@RakeemsReMakes]

@@dannylewis8397 Thank you! Mardamace covered "Vegeta Vs. Jeice" a long time ago and his version is awesome!

[@williebruciestewie]

3:20 is pure ambrosia for my ears.

[@KIWITALKZ]

Yeah!!!! Rakeem you beauty! You did Mike proud with this

[@gboxb3215]

Now I am curious on how some of Dragon ball Supers traks would translate to these types of music. Food for thought.

[@RetroRanter]

The first Faulconer Productions team theme that really caught my attention and cemented the soundtrack as one of my favourites of all time. As always amazingly done. 💜

[@pressurefrmtheraw1072]

3:24 played in my head reading the manga when beast gohan knocked mui goku to base then threw hands w...almost everybody 😂😂😂😂🔥😳 Broly was amazed and it helped him 😵

[@SuperKamehameha2]

This sounds incredible! If I didn’t know any better I would have thought this was the actual version. glad you extended the first part, I was never a fan of the second half of the track to be honest but you even made that sound good

[@Servesta]

It's amazing how all of your remakes sound exactly the same if not better than the original tracks. I also love the additional bits you add to the tracks that add a bit of diversity. I would love it if you could do a remake of frieza vs spirit bomb part 2. I would love to see what you could do with that track.

[@Lowclasswarrior778]

Yes I second this! I’d love to see how he makes frieza vs spirit bomb 2 sound like!

Excellent work buddy!!!

Thank you, my legendary mate!

[@Joes_Z-Music]

INCREDIBLE!

[@SgtPot]

Glad to see you on youtube

[@Azelf89]

Another fine remake of yours, my dude! Only thing I could think of that I have a problem would be the mixing, as I feel the original Ginyu Force tracks packed in a bit more punch in the show. Other than that, this is some damn good stuff here!

[@RakeemsReMakes]

Thank you! That original mix is Mike Smith's magic 🎩 I'm Rakeem and these re-makes will always be less than Mike's originals. They're meant to be.

[@AB-py6jl]

I'm amazed at how fresh this sounds.

[@Marcelo_DBZ_Music]

04:13 is maybe still my favorite little bit, so creative and fun ☺️

[@Lowclasswarrior778]

Friggin yes! You made it sound amazing this is my favorite theme next to vegetas theme!

[@Ando1428]

Wow I finally found this song after years of searching for it and found out that it's there theme song and not the goku vs burter and jiece song. You know what's sad about this though. Goku was trolling these guys while their own theme music was playing.

[@RakeemsReMakes]

Wow! Years!? I hope you listened to Mike Smith's original one first! Haha yeah, Goku was trolling them to their own track 😂

[@mogueraguh]

With the namek saga approaching it’s time for your remake of frieza ginyu beat

[@RakeemsReMakes]

Well we have it clean already so really anytime is a good time 😂 I have several re-makes planned before that one has its chance

I was looking for this damn song for years. Fucking amazing.

[@foxboxarchives2059]

I think there's also a theme (which is only in the DVD Singles for Dragon Ball Z) with Goku powering up for Captain Ginyu and the music tracks were changed for the remastered DVDs.

[@RakeemsReMakes]

"Sage Music"?

[@foxboxarchives2059]

@@RakeemsReMakes I....think so.

[@RakeemsReMakes]

@@foxboxarchives2059 'Cause right after that, while he's actually powering up for Ginyu, it plays this!

Sounds great.

[@foxboxarchives2059]

This was the biggest Ginyu Force Theme I ever heard! :D You think you can remake the Goku VS Ginyu Part 1 Uncut theme too? :D

[@RakeemsReMakes]

"Goku Vs. Ginyu Part 1" is on the list! "Vegeta Vs. Jeice" (which is probably not what I would end up calling it, is not on the list at all at this moment. A long time ago, Mardamace did a re-make to that one and it was really good so I don't see any reason to do a new re-make for it. Maybe someday I'll change my mind.

[@foxboxarchives2059]

@@RakeemsReMakes You make a good point. Mardamace did some really Awesome DBZ Remakes and themes! On second thought....forget the Vegeta VS Jeice request.

[@RakeemsReMakes]

@@foxboxarchives2059 Yeah, they sure are and that one was awesome so I don't think there's any reason to re-make it really. I might re-make Goku's Healing on Namek track, though, at some point

[@foxboxarchives2059]

@@RakeemsReMakes Sweet! :D I don't know why I asked for Vegeta VS Jeice to be honest I think maybe it was because I wanted more of that Hard Rock that was in that theme.
