FEX - Subways Of Your Mind (Mega Man X Remix)

The most mysterious song on the internet!! it's always going to have that meaning for me.
I got to know about this song way back in 2011 but never really cared about it during all these years. It wasn't until I saw Whang's videos about the song back in ... idk 2021? that I really got interested and started following the case.
No joke, never thought I'd see the day where this song was found. It was just too obscure and all the leads went cold. Best part is that not only it was found, we have the final version, a live version, two more songs and the acoustic performance at NDR plus the interview.
I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I loved working on it :')
Original song composed by Ture Rückwardt, Michael Hädrich and Norbert Ziermann (FEX)
My 50k sub special medley which also doubles as a Q&A video is still in the works, patience please!

[@KC-bg1th]

I love all the solos you add to your covers, and have been listening to them all after I realized you don't _just_ make amazing covers, but tailor and breathe life into them. I'm a huge power metal fan, and even though the songs you are covering aren't metal, the solo breakaways you do give me the same feeling as when bands like Galneryus, and Sonata Arctica will suddenly break away into a solo. It's just like a moment of passion poured into a song, that almost creates a song within a song. Idk how to explain it that well, but I'm just a massive, MASSIVE sucker for any kind of solo in music.

[@ArcadeStriker]

It's cool to see you have a take on this one - while it makes sense to see so many people cover the long lost but finally found song, didn't expect that you would make a cover of it. The higher pitch from the new version not only fits as a sendoff to that mystery, the people that made it and even returned to play it again (cool of you to use the new live vid as the background) but also could very well fit as a MMX credits/ending theme. ...man, now I think that it could be cool to blast this at full volume the one day in the future MMX Corrupted finally releases - but until then... Thanks for making this awesome remix 🎉

[@KC-bg1th]

Hey, I've come back to this song literally dozens of times now, and am addicted to the nuanced things you did with the track. The part that I'm addicted to is at 1:00, where you actually put in a nuanced bend to the opening of the solo. Then the harmony you have at 1:11 is also just so great. Anyway, I saw that you did Jrose music, and it made me wonder if you do commissions at all? Or if you'd be able to take a 16 bar melody I've made and work with that? Obviously I'm not expecting any of it to be free, and I also know you have an entire backlog you're probably toiling away on (maybe even as I'm typing this comment? Hahaha). Thankfully the song I would want to be commissioned is only 4 channels, since it's a GBA song. It's the Grass and Lightning Club theme from the Pokemon TCG. It's also 16 bars at like I think 120BPM - the loop is about 36 seconds (including the 5 second-ish intro). Alternatively, the melody I made samples the walking bassline from the song, and is also 120bpm. Anyway, I figured that after binging all your music, and hearing this cover, I wanted to come to you with this proposal. I just can't stop thinking about how you'd cover it, and inject your own solos into it. If you are interested, I have FLP files for the groundwork (although I think I may have made some mistakes for a few notes) and can convert them to .MIDI if you are using another DAW. My discord ID is 353227873286619138 if you're interested. :^}

[@tdark987]

This fits unusually well - almost uncannily so; if you'd labeled it as a remix of a MMX fangame intro theme, I doubt I'd have batted an eyelid. Most likely that just comes down to '80s music being a huge influence for Megaman music in general (I mean, the original MM1's code name was apparently "Rock & Roll", which pretty much speaks for itself). In any case, it's always great to see another so-familiar-yet-stubbornly-unidentifiable song pinned down. Maybe one of these days someone will _FINALLY_ find the source of that infamous "Zelda's Adventure overworld" theme that's been circulating for over 20 years labeled as a supposed track from one of the CDi Zelda games -- completely wrongly (it isn't in any of those games, and Zelda's Adventure actually HAS no overworld music), but so pervasively that it was actually remixed in one of the AVGN games (seemingly as a shout-out to those games). Honestly though, I'm not holding out much hope. The song here took over 15 years to be identified. The same is true for S3&K's infamous Icecap zone (which was only identified in mid-2009). And both of those had the advantage of having lyrics & being actual commercially released songs - neither of which is the case for that pseudo-CDi track (which I suspect may be an obscure demoscene song) - as well as existing in more forms than a single midi uploaded anonymously some ~25y ago.

[@MyNewSoundtrack]

@@tdark987 yo???? Can you yell me more about that Zelda missing track? In what AVGN episode does it show up? I'm super curious!

[@tdark987]

@@MyNewSoundtrack The song itself doesn't show up in an AVGN episode (as I said, it's not actually in any of the CDi Zelda games), but there's a _VERY_ obvious remix of it in AVGN Adventures 2's "Nerd Room" theme, and that's almost certainly a shout-out to the 3 AVGN episodes covering the CDi Zeldas. The original midi dates from the very late '90s or early '00s, and was just assumed to be genuine by the sites it was uploaded to, including VGMusic (most likely because nobody actually owned a CDi to verify the claim); you can actually still find it on VGMusic (the first "overworld theme" listed under "Zelda's Adventure" in the Philips CDi section) - it seems it was popular enough for them not to remove it despite it being 100% mislabeled... XD Taking that midi and comparing it side-by-side with the AVGN 2 track, the similarities are... well, *striking,* and that's putting it mildly. Most likely, the composer for AVGN 2 just looked up & remixed a song from the CDi Zelda games without verifying it was actually _in the game._ But as for the where it's actually from? I have no clue, and it seems like no one else does either. I do think it's pretty safe to assume that it's not an original composition; I can't imagine anyone making that effort just for the sake of a bogus vgmusic submission (which had no guarantee of even getting through the approval stage - they could've just as easily rejected it due to it being unverifiable) Stylistically, the song feels rather C64/demoscene-ish, but I've never heard anything that actually matches (although that's likely not saying much, considering the sheer number of demoscene tracks out there...)
