John Tay ft. 4sythe - [Alternate] Flying Battery Act 2 (YM2612 + SN76489)

This isn't a track written or arranged by me this time, it's now 4sythe who's arranged and written some original parts here and there for Act 2! They asked to help out so that saves me a lot of trouble. Overall the basis is the same, it's really just what you expect out of an Act 2 mix.
Thing with 4sythe is that they started making music this year (I think) under my influence. They made this with DefleMask, and I polished it up and added new minor details into the mix. Not a lot of commentary here, but maybe you could ask 4sythe for their input or something.
Song name: [Alternate] Flying Battery Zone Act 2 (YM2612 + SN76489)
Written by John Tay;
Arranged by 4sythe

reminder that i again didn't do this one alone. i didn't do most of the work even. i'm just credited at the front since i wrote act 1 and 4sythe based it off for this. more support should go to them instead!!

[@dashie_dsh.4029]

Your clarification is understandable, and it is more than good that you ask to give the credits to those who really deserve it, but remember that you were the one who started this, they were influenced by your style and decided to help you, and you are doing the final touches and unintentionally, coordinating everything, it could be said that you are like the director of this idea, and that is why they see you first, because nobody fails to appreciate the talent you have :)

Dude, that Hydrocity bass SLAPS. I've loved Act 2 of both Flying Battery and Hydrocity, and their respective instruments and drums ever since I've first heard the originals, then the remixes, then that one eurobeat version of HCZ2... This is truly a blessing from the heavens, never knew I needed to listen to this for hours on end till now. Thanks, both of you, for making this incredible masterpiece!

0:40 free bird guitar solo?

IKR???

[@SOKOHASEK]

It was stated in the Act 1 version by John tay that it was, in fact, the free bird guitar solo

[@AliC202]

I like like the look a like riff popping up

[@RetroUpgrade1]

The final stretch level in Shy Guy Surfing. It's tedious as all hell, but trust me, the music and the level itself definitely make up for it. It's literally quite telling you "You're almost there, just keep going, no matter what happens."

[@SinisterSwiss]

I've had Act 1 basically on loop since you dropped it so this is just 😍😍😍
