Strider Soundtrack - Stage Music - 02

[@Ah-ed6ie]

The music goes so well with that snowy mountain. It just has that wintery feeling

[@heavysystemsinc.]

I enjoy the fact you put the stage music together to imply the scoring of a complete scene, which is probably what was intended..hearing the small bits of these tunes outside of that comes off as sort of like hearing the chorus of a song, but not the verse....etc. Hearing everything together like this, you get a broader sense of the compisition AS a complete level soundtrack.

Possibly the best arcade soundtrack ever written. Amazing.

[@buzzmorgan4351]

Always loved this song, but only the first 35 seconds. Yeah that beginning part creeps me out TOTALLY!

[@Slipknott9641]

Ditto

[@roderickstockdale1678]

Those little giggles at the beginning sound like a bunch of little critters giggling at the good guy!

[@Tiguron26]

My favorite level was the Robot Gorilla one, That music to that level was chilling! Perfect for it!

[@bw7505]

The beginning has a wicked tone to it.

[@MrMeatghost]

A gem of 80's classic game music.

[@TBONE_2004]

*HUM. IT IS STRIDER HIRYU.* *HE WILL NEVER LEAVE EURASIA ALIVE!* *I GOT YOU.*

[@jont4498]

this is amazing stuck with me all these years

[@ZoneyDuel]

I GOT YOU!

[@vic_viper]

The woman who did the music for Strider is named Junko Tamiya.

[@swl9380]

Joel Hartman is that same person who did sf2 soundtrack right ???? i could be wrong

[@Izzy2crazzy]

@@swl9380 no, that was yoko shimmamura

[@Izzy2crazzy]

I probably spelled her name wrong lol

[@TheEmperorHyperion]

@@Izzy2crazzy it's "Shimomura," and you're good. She did the second theme for Bay Area in Final Fight, left Capcom, and went on to compose soundtracks for Parasite Eve, Kingdom Hearts, the Mario & Luigi series, Xenoblade, and Final Fantasy XV.

My friends: What's in your head? Me: 0:01

[@ultimatesol]

0:09 - 1:31 thats why i love electronic music ^^

[@CasualRemy]

Beautiful soundtrack

[@jIlxg]

Great music

[@lcarpetron6997]

I love all of this music, but the song at 1:32 is my favorite. That could've been the main theme for the entire game, and yet it lasts only a mere moment in the gameplay. There are gems all over this soundtrack. They really should do all of these songs using a live orchestra.

[@thefantasticlevitatingsoma8481]

The music used in Strider does sound suspiciously similar in some sections to Emerson Lake and Palmers Brain Salad Surgery....

[@teddyhose]

3:41 that haunting, melancholy sound is what popped in my head today from when I played Strider in the early 90's. Who did the music to this game? It's absolutely hypnotizing. Also the light trail made by Strider's sword was the coolest.

[@MrPhantominus]

Lmmpppl lol oppllpp,mommoo'.moknoio 4p?😊0😊0

[@XTRABIG]

good question. I never found out who did the music.

[@Slipknott9641]

I swear the first 38sec beat would go multi platinum if used and made for a song by an musician .

[@charlesn898]

Yeah. The low end on this is (chef's kiss)

[@TheKrustaceox]

3:37 The air combat...yes i remember.

[@AlexCBrandon]

A woman wrote this? I had no idea. Most of the best composers in Japan for games are women. And that is fricking awesome.

[@Alan_Smithee_Productions]

woman moment

[@jstriegel]

*gets sword upgrade.... kills a bunch of snow wolves*

[@AloanMoreira1]

YM 2203 OR 2151? sounds like 2203 (very metally)

[@trustobey1016]

that intro sounds like the devils' music, jk

[@danisageeza]
