Re: Ace Combat Soundtrack Discography
Rene Thivierge
Mortal Kombat: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the compilation album that accompanied the 1995 film Mortal Kombat. Three songs by Stabbing Westward were included in the movie, but were omitted from the soundtrack: "Lost", "Lies" and "Can't Happen Here", all of which appear on the album Ungod. Metal vocalist Burton C. Bell is the only artist on the album to appear twice; once with his primary band Fear Factory, and again with side-project GZR. The album features primarily electronic dance music (EDM) along with rock music.
Mortal Kombat was nominated for the Motion Picture Sound Editors, USA Golden Reel Award. It won the BMI Film & TV Awards BMI Film Music Award.[2] The soundtrack went Platinum[3] in less than a year reaching No. 10 on the Billboard 200,[4] and was included in the 2011 Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition as the "most successful video game spin-off soundtrack album".[5] It was the first electronic dance music (EDM) record to receive a Platinum certification in the United States.[6] Its popularity inspired the album Mortal Kombat: More Kombat.
Mortal Kombat: The Album is a soundtrack album by The Immortals (Maurice "Praga Khan" Engelen and Olivier Adams), released in 1994 to accompany the home versions of the video game Mortal Kombat. Television commercials for the home versions included a brief plug for the album at the end.[2] The single Mortal Kombat (Techno-Syndrome) was released in 1992.[3]
The other, Mortal Kombat (Techno-Syndrome), was the only solo effort, as Engelen had left for a meeting of his record label, leaving Adams to do the song by himself on his Atari ST computer.[4] "Techno Syndrome", with its signature scream of "Mortal Kombat!" - taken from the "Mortal Monday" commercial advertising the home console version of the game - has subsequently become famous as "the Mortal Kombat theme song" because of its use in the 1995 film, and remixed versions of the song continue to be associated with the Mortal Kombat franchise.[4] The soundtrack reached number 10 on the Billboard 200 charts.[5] Jonathan Oyama, writing for Venturebeat claims that Techno Syndrome is based on "Twilight Zone" by 2 Unlimited, but Adams and Engelen have said that the resemblance was a coincidence, and that no legal action was taken.[6][4] The scream was done by actor Kyle Wyatt.[7]
"Techno Syndrome" is also a hidden song featured in the Sega CD version of Mortal Kombat when one chooses to enter the "soundtrack" mode at the Sega CD intro screen. It can also be accessed by putting the CD in a CD player and selecting track 17. The album peaked at #16 on the Billboard Heatseekers in the United States.
This theme is featured in various battle soundtracks, Character Demos, and promotional videos, usually as an ostinato and sometimes just a single instance of the phrase. Next to the Genshin Impact Main Theme, it is a notable recurring theme in Genshin Impact soundtracks.
The Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Original Soundtrack is a musical album which was released on November 15, 2011[1][2]. A remixed version of the original Halo soundtrack, the music was re-recorded and produced by Skywalker Sound. A special 2,000-edition vinyl version of the soundtrack was also released on December 20th, with an added download code for the entire full-length digital album.[2]
The soundtrack was released as a standalone physical product in December 2019, featuring over 100 tracks split between six CDs.[2] This includes the music featured in the DLC missions,[3] in-game cutscenes, multiplayer modes,[4] and VR Mode.[5]
Players who purchase the Ace Combat 7 Season Pass gain access to the bonus Music Player within the game itself. The Music Player contains a selection of the soundtrack mostly featuring the main campaign tracks.
The Japanese music production company SweepRecord released a physical version of the Ace Combat 7 soundtrack in December 2019,[2] with catalog number SRIN-1162. Purchases through SweepRecord's Japanese or international stores began shipping on December 20; third-party purchases began shipping on December 30.[6] The soundtrack was initially slated to release earlier in December, but it was delayed in November due to the addition of more tracks that were still being recorded.[7]
In addition to the 100 tracks on six CDs, the physical release includes notes from Keiki Kobayashi, Ryo Watanabe, Mitsuhiro Kitadani, Hiroshi Okubo, Junichi Nakatsuru, Tetsukazu Nakanishi, Yusuke Kudo, Yusuke Yamauchi, Yukiko Miyagi, Manabu Shimomoto, and Kazutoki Kono.[8] Before taxes and shipping, the Ace Combat 7 soundtrack is priced at 7,000 (approx. USD$65).[2]
This is the first physical Ace Combat soundtrack release to be officially sold outside of Japan, not including the limited partial release of the Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Original Soundtrack.
There are multiple rock epics on the Risk of Rain 2 soundtrack, but "Antarctic Oscillation" is prog to the core with its odd time signatures, max riffage, pitch bending keyboard solos and double bass pedal.
The music team for Final Fantasy VII Remake maybe went a teensy bit overboard with the soundtrack for a game that, after all, only covers about 1/10 of the 1997 original game's plot. 8+ hours of music was released on the official album (and that's not nearly all of it from the game), including hundreds of arrangements of Nobuo Uematsu's compositions and a varied set of new tracks too.
Everything in the Bayonetta series is BIG: the heels, the combos, the bosses, and especially the soundtrack. Naturally, the game's final boss is a fittingly grand entity: Jubileus, The Creator, Dea of the Hierarchy of Laguna is a primordial goddess-like being, revived to unite the Trinity of Realities. Pretty important then.
Ramin Djawadi has a history of GIGANTIC soundtrack composition. Working as part of Hans Zimmer's stable earlier in his career, he went on to score the first Iron Man movie, Game of Thrones, Pacific Rim, and the Warcraft film adaption.
This second soundtrack album includes tracks from the tough, optional content added to the game post-release. The wonderfully characterful, almost pantomime-like bosses deserved dramatic music cues, and Christopher Larkin went full rock opera for The Grimm Troupe.
Legendary composer Grant Kirkhope pulled out all the stops for the orchestral soundtrack to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Although the game has seen a remaster and re-release, it's a shame that its legacy was somewhat overshadowed by the financial collapse of its developer.
Senju has also scored numerous soundtracks, including those for films such as Yomigaeri and Reminiscence; TV shows Ienakiko, Honmamon, and Fūrinkazan; animated series Mobile Suit Victory Gundam and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood; and documentaries Nihon Eizo no 20-Seiki, Louvre, La Beauté Eternelle, and Heisei-shi.
Rockman: the Power Battle is the licensed soundtrack album from the CPS-2 version of the arcade game of the same name, known as Mega Man: The Power Battle outside Japan. The album contains an eclectic collection of music from Mega Man through Mega Man 7 (albeit it skips 6) present in the game. It was released by TEAM Entertainment on December 1, 1995 in Japan only.
The soundtrack is available as the Original Game Soundtrack, which contains all 47 tracks from the base game, and tracks from the DLC are released as volumes in a separate series of albums titled Music of Tamriel.
Phyrnna usually puts out samples of the music on her accounts on Newgrounds, SoundCloud, and Youtube before the game is officially released, and a full release on Bandcamp. She also makes other soundtracks that are very similar to the ones used in the Epic Battle Fantasy series.
In Matt's earlier works (Brawl Royale, The Kitten Game, Epic Battle Fantasy) the soundtrack was not yet made by Phyrnna. Instead, Matt used music from various video games and animé series. Any themes used in this way were included in the games' respective credits pages.
In addition to its original music, EBF5 brings back several tracks from previous EBF games (sans 1 as at the time, it didn't have an original soundtrack). There are nine boomboxes scattered around the overworld; activating them will change the music within the screen and its adjacent screens (this is only for the paid version since 1.5, the free version will only play a default track from EBF5, while on the Mobile version, a mixture of default tracks and Data Bunker Simulation Fight music is played due to storage limitations), while the Data Bunker Simulation Fights will also play tracks during combat.
Most of the old games with copyrighted tracks were replaced with new compositions, either by Phyrnna or Forger343. The entire soundtrack is currently available on Steam for free, which includes the original soundtracks from Epic Battle Fantasy 2, Bullet Heaven, Adventure Story, and Cat Cafe.
The soundtrack can be found in multiple locations online such as the iTunes, Google Play Music, and Spotify. In early 2018, a compiled soundtrack featuring most of the songs from the three Shadow Fight games was made available for download. Having a duration of 1 hour and 43 minutes, it features a total of 78 tracks of which 23 belong to Shadow Fight 3.
The commercial album was released in 2022 in three volumes: the first one was released on February 25, the second one was released on March 11 and the third one was released on March 25. Every volume contained two discs with roughly one hour of music each. The total length of the soundtrack is seven and a half hours.
The soundtrack for Risk of Rain 2 was composed by Chris Christodoulou. It was first released as an Early Access OST before being fully released along the 1.0 update of the game on August 11th, 2020.
