This is actually a fairly old track I made during one of my college courses about 4 years ago. It was really just a final project, that was supposed to demonstrate my basic knowledge of MIDI. I decided to post here to try to conserve it.

It's a "remix" of the weapons loadout music from the SNES classic Gradius III. Anyone whose ever played the game knows that rockin melody that plays as you pick your weapon upgrade chain before you head into each level. It's probably one of my top videogame soundtracks...that and Space Harrier...which I might try to work on a remix whenever I've get some free time.

I remember this game. This remix brought back memories of hours of playing that game over and over and my tantrums at that one level where the games goes insanely fast and you have to time those stupid doors.

5'd, 10'd, Downloaded.

Also, I love how you arranged this remix. Its perfect. Nothing is out of place. I'll be listening to this at work.

"Ah Gradius..."

how you infuriated me with your insane difficulty, damn that easter island statue level, that shit was crazy tough. Then again, I was like 9 or so when I played Gradius 3, so yeah.

Anyways, I like this track. Simple, stays true to the original melody, and has very nice progression. 5 get you.
