STREETS OF RAGE 2 Soundtrack (Expanded & Enhanced) • "Final Crash" Edition

[@MaestroDraven]

Hello fans! As before, please 🔎READ THE DESCRIPTION🔍 for some important info on the FINAL CRASH edition of this soundtrack, where you can get it, and what went into it. Streets of Rage 3 will be coming within the next week, so stay tuned and please enjoy this one, because a LOT of hard work went into it. I'm exhausted, but happy.

[@Blit-X-TVLive]

Thank you for your hard work & awesome mixes as usual! & it's awesome that we're both helping out on the Streets X project, get to hear your work all the time now. 😄

[@rstevens1836]

The ending theme of this game will always have a special place in my heart. I first played this game on my cousin's Genesis in Los Angeles and fell in love with this game and the music. That ending song reminds me of the gorgeous surroundings and iconic sunsets of L.A. I had it in my head when I flew out of there that summer. It was the summer after the '92 riots so it was emotional times there anyway. Always an emotional nostalgia for me. That Yuzo did a hell of a job with this franchise soundtrack. Thanks to the poster and remixer for all this. Those waves sound at the end? Shivers! :)

[@kmshultz]

I get chills with the ending theme, too, and it really got me this morning at the end of an intense run. I listened to this golden mix all the way down, pushing through the hardest part with Revenge of Mr. X, and then, as I was on the last two miles, the ending theme came on. Instantly I teared up and got chills hearing that hopeful tune which evoked early childhood feelings of triumph over adversity. Back then it was a video game I had beaten, but this morning, it brought the same feels as I reflected on true hardships I have faced. That feeling means so much more now at age 38, having overcome debilitating depression three years ago that I thought would be the end of me. That's the power of Yuzo's breathtaking soundtrack! Thanks for sharing your memory, too, friend. ❤

This is fucking exceptionally good, Yuzo would be proud, I could chill in a club to this all night long , phenomenal work. 🔥 👊

[@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180]

Koshiro sensei is still active and even has a channel here, @yuzokoshiro2631 . Hope he checks this out and, hopefully, he and Draven do a collab. Or just talk about beats, that's good enough.

[@Iceferno]

It's great to see your work uploaded in full like this. It certainly emphasises the Final Crash aspect. Looking forward to SOR3, and what you have in store after. :)

[@Iceferno]

Oh my! The enhancements on In The Bar are wonderful. Are these exclusive to the Final Crash edition? I don't remember hearing them before somehow.

[@MaestroDraven]

@@Iceferno - Hey Ice, thanks! My eyes are ready to fall out of my head and I think my blood pressure is way past acceptable levels but I'm good :) Yeah, I lost the original project file to In The Bar last time 'round. I guess I must have saved another project overtop of it by accident, so I had to start right over. Sometimes it works out though, because I think it's never sounded better than it does now. SOR3 to go, and then you and I have to finish that song together!

[@Iceferno]

@@MaestroDraven That's great to read. :) This upload is such a pleasant surprise with all the new enhanced sections I don't recognise. And yeah, looking forward to more progress with the track!

[@RetroRanter]

Absolutely blessing us dropping the whole album here, THANK YOU. 😎💜

[@MaestroDraven]

I figured it's easier than uploading another pile of tracks :) Plus, it's just fun to have a DJ mix of the entire thing. Thanks RR.

[@ShwappaJ]

This is proof that you can't improve on perfection. You can only spice it up a little with reverb and creativeness. 👍

[@MaestroDraven]

I would agree. Never thought to make it better, just enhance the sound and staple on a bit of "extra!"

[@brandonmuse5532]

I love the sirens in the beginning

[@majagi8579]

Legendary soundtrack. One of the best soundtracks in the history of videogames.

[@raylyd]

my imagineing this ported to the mega cd with this sound track would have been epic

[@edmbish]

Absolutely love what you did with Under Logic. Bang to the beat of the drum indeed...! 😉

[@FGAMES9000]

Same as always you did a fantastic job!! I'm happy with our partnership. Currently I'm working on all remaining weapons and due to the huge sprite work I didn't post any updates, but it's around 80% done. After the next update I will focus on adding all your new soundtracks to the game officially.

[@MaestroDraven]

Same here my friend! I'll have SOR3 to you shortly, and then IceFerno and I will get to work on the track for the options menu. We'd like to wrap that up quickly so you have everything you need. Looking forward to making this a reality.

[@Vettora]

Man, you are INCREDIBLE! Congrats once again, and the best of luck on the path you are walking. Your work is really amazing! I hear your songs almost every day since you revived this channel, and just when I think that "this is the best version of this song", you manage to outdo yourself - again and again! Simply amazing!

[@MaestroDraven]

Always appreciate your support, Vettora. I'm really glad to have SOR soundtracks finally finished. I know I said before that I wouldn't touch them again, but I felt that I needed to give them one more go, with everything I've learned up to this point.

I just have to say, I absolutely love how you transformed Walking Bottom from an unremarkable beta track into an amazing medley of SOR1 goodness!

[@MaestroDraven]

Hey thanks a lot. It was really fun to try and flesh those two unused tracks out.

[@RockawayCarter]

And the perfect editing mix has arrived. I gotta tell everyone about this. It's go time!

[@MaestroDraven]

Please do Rockaway :) I appreciate the support. I'm looking to expand the reach of my channel in BIG ways. Got a few cool projects lined up just for that.

[@Barmastarf]

Excellent. better than the "Streets of Rage Remake" OST! some of the songs lend well to having additional composition added more than others, but what an awesome concept... you should do Castlevania musics too

[@MaestroDraven]

I really love what the composers did with SORR, but they went in a very different direction than I did. That's the beauty of different takes. I wanted to stick to the original songs and build on them, whereas they did their own interpretations of the classics. No rights or wrongs.

[@StevenMcFlyJunior]

Wait ... what the fuck! Did U ad sirens to the beginning of this ?!?!?!?!? Holy Shit

[@shadowstep77]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 this gets me pumped up everytime!

[@melianhe13]

I hope your work reach a lot of people because this is awesome. I've been a fan for several years now. I wished one of your songs still have vocals and it did have the vocals thank you. I loved the slow moon intro so much and your version of little money avenue, didn't know you hace your take on it. Awesome.

Never Return Alive, Max Man and Mr. X's Revenge absolutely blew me away! If they make a remake of the original trilogy, they seriously need to get you to do the OST!

[@MaestroDraven]

Thanks Yosha, I had so much fun with them. I think I'm most happy with Max Man. I wanted to amp up the intensity of that track so much.

[@fletcherhillman4942]

I know Max man is the best I love Shiva he's so strong and his is so perfect

The service you're providing here is nothing short of extraordinary. Thank you for doing this for our favorite pieces of retro nostalgia, it provides an untold (and unusually specific) type of joy to get us through the day. You rock.

[@MaestroDraven]

Wow that's amazing praise, my friend, thanks very much. Means a lot to me to hear that. I'm accelerating releases from now on. The new track is about to drop, so I hope you'll subscribe (if not already) so you get wind of it right away!

[@DefinitelyReagan]

@@MaestroDraven Subscribed immediately. You’ve got one more dedicated follower on your journey, friend. 💙

[@mugenmarshal01]

This is a life changing OST, still unbeliavable that it sounded so good in a Mega Drive/ Genesis Yamaha YM2612.

[@kuanma]

I spent days listening to this soundtrack when I was a kid, in my MegaDrive/Genesis. I fantasized a lot about remixing this tunes. Now you have made it a reality, and WOW... what a blast! I love your remixes, thank you Maestro

[@MaestroDraven]

That's exactly why I did it, yes. I too as a child loved the soundtrack and always wondered what would have happened if Koshiro and Kawashima had more storage space, time and better hardware to work with. That was always the inspiration to do this project.

[@shadowstep77]

And slow moon gets played consistently in my car!!!

[@eternal3279]

I don't know how you did it, man, but you actually improved on perfection. I've always loved the soundtrack to SOR2/BK2 and you knocked it out of the park. I can definitely hear this in a club and people not even knowing where it came from

SOR and Charly is never something I would have expected... and yet... it works!!

[@MaestroDraven]

Thanks. I try to utilize samples that fit the track, and only sparingly, when I think it adds something nice to the overall "oomph factor." Sometimes the most unorthodox of samples work the best.

32:38 my favorite part for my 2nd fav song

[@emazur8394]

I previewed the first track on KZbin and it sounded great and downloaded the zip file and will listen to the rest (for those who aren't aware, for people like me who have surround sound systems, KZbin will only play using your 2 front channel speakers, not even using the subwoofer, unless you manually adjust your receiver settings or Windows sound mixer to play only in stereo output mode. But if you use media players like AIMP or MPC-BE you can configure them to output to all 7.1 channels. Foobar2000 can also be configured though as far as I can tell is limited to 5.1 channels). Anyway, thanks for putting in the time and effort to make these new versions. SOR2's soundtrack is legendary

[@MaestroDraven]

Great tips, and yes, KZbin is definitely not the best place to listen to music, but I guess it does do the job for the time being. I myself am a Stereo purist, though I hypocritically mix with a 5.1 setup, as I like to cover all the bases. Thanks for the support!

[@xiao4408]

i think that the only track i didn't like on this "Fina Crash" edition is the Never Return Alive, not the ENTIRE track, just the 15:20 up to the 15:50 part, i don't like the 8-bit sound thing that keeps playing on this part, on the GOLD EDITION, it makes this part sounds WAY better than in the "Final Crash" edition because it doesn't have this 8-bit sound, just the guitar and the siren made this part really cool and gave that vibe of "intense and bloody fight" anyway, it could just be me nitpicking on this specific part of this rendition of Never Return Alive, but all of the tracks sounds so much good and way better than the GOLD EDITION, nice job Maestro

[@Wolverius]

I am confused. This tracks sound extremely better. How it was enhanced? I need to know.

[@MaestroDraven]

This is just what I call my versions of these songs. I rewrite them all from scratch and then enhance their sonic clarity using the same instruments as the originals. Better bitrate, better stereo width, processing, etc.

[@Wolverius]

@@MaestroDraven I have an old keyboard with Yamaha FM chip, (the same of master system) , this is How you recreate or you do directly in the computer chip? By the way, excelent work.

[@MaestroDraven]

@@Wolverius - Thanks very much! No I didn't go directly to the chip. I used VSTs that are software reproductions of the chips. They do give you options to generate the "fuzzy" Genesis sound of the original console, but I utilize the clean signal setting so it sounds nice and clean.
