Best SHMUP OSTs
Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
I just downloaded 2.96GB of music for what ever I could find on Metal Black, Darius series, Ray series, Taito titled soundtracks (11), and Zuntata titled soudtracks (11). Yeah, you may think this is way overboard obsesion, but it not. So it's totally cool if everyone else does the same (yeah, you may also have to download them one at a time too like I did >_> ... BYE! ).

Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
My favorite shmup OST is Blazing Star's & Pulstar's, actually main element that got me attracted to shmups in the first place.
Scores, replays, videos || I have written a guide about getting good at shmups. Check it out !

Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
In my opinions I believe Deathsmiles has the best OSTs
Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
I didn't play as many games as some of you guys, but I think Karous' soundtrack fits the game like a glove, and so does Radirgy's music. (24/7 is excellent!)
khdn tracks are very awesome in general but I think these two games are where their impact is the strongest.
And aside from khdn, it is difficult to choose what are my other best shmups OSTs, there are so many of them that are very good : Dangun Feveron, DDP DFK BL, Einhänder, Eschatos, Ginga Force, Trizeal, DeltaZeal, G-Darius, etc.

The true true final boss, true true true final boss and true final attack of the true true true final boss.
I think it's missing to prevent spoilers, it's not that good compared to the rest anyway.

Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
Oh man, oh man, oh man. I think I've just discovered the best shmup tune ever. For the Arcade; Stage 1, Saint Dragon. What a freaking awesome tune this is. With such an awesome drum beat too that's completely lost in the translation to the PCE port, unfortunately. And when you die, and as the volume fades away, the drum beat gets singled out kinda. So awesome. But it's not just the drumbeat that makes this tune awesome, it just helps a lot to get a rythem/head bopping kind of thing going. Cause yes, the tune itself it really catchy and unique and so hard to get out of your head. Plus makes me play extra careful so that I don't die and interupt the song. Though after resurecting it seems like the tune doesn't pick up from the very beginning again? And more like how R-Type Delta handled it, I think?
Anywho, haven't had the chance to hear much of the other tunes. For some lame reason it took me forever to beat stage 1 boss, lol (like not dodging the very easy to dodge fireball from his mouth so many times, lol). Made it to stage 2 boss last I played. But stage 2 song is pretty different and more happy/upbeat kinda sounding. Still good, but hear's hoping for what else lies ahead? ... Game is really great too. Must play, no doubt.

Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
Played Bari-Arm yesterday. The last time before that was way back in the late 90s when I had a Sega CD. The Stage 7 theme immediately gave me tingles. DAT. SAX.

Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
I belive it's ESPrade and DDP DOJ OSTs. Some really impressive tracks there. Desperate School, Nightmare, Raging Decide, Toa, Taidou, Kouryuu...
I need no games without lolis. Nuclear blast wind blowing some skirts off = instant awesomeness.
Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
I forgot: Star Parodier. Its soundtrack is great!
Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
Oh snap... that Bari-Arm soundtrack is off the chain o_O.

Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
Been listening to Leiria Stargazer's OST lately. It's pretty great for a freeware game. I can definitely feel the emotion in the music. If only the story were translated so I can get a better understanding of the music.

A few months ago I released VGM pack for X68000 game "Y2" it's excellent. Also, during the game some stages end before the music does, so this is the easy way to listen to the whole songs. Enjoy!

Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
Gleylancer? Neat choice. I used to prefer Asteroid Field myself, but Purple Sea grew on me over time a lot. Great overall quality on the soundtrack either way. You can only pick like one or two songs that aren't excellent.

Re: Best SHMUP OSTs
I seriously cant get enough of the Power Strike II ost. Especially with the way they integrate the main theme into the final stage, man I love when games do that kind of stuff
also the desert stage comes to mind

The (full square osc) sound of the SEGA Game Gear is always enchanting....especially the absurdly stunning OST of GG Shinobi 1&2 (2 of the best OST Ever Made , speaking technically)gradiusscrub69 wrote:I seriously cant get enough of the Power Strike II ost.

One of the most mesmerizing OST ever on the genre, explosive, ascending, energizing:

God have mercy, I just realised how old this thread actually is. 3;
EVASION (THE BATTLE FOR SURVIVING )
BREAK INTO MARS (GET THAT MONEY MUHFUCKA )
Yes, there's nothing like a good leitmotif to reinforce the sense of impending climax! Hitoshi Sakimoto is famously good at this, cf Radiant Silvergun and Soukyugurentai's progressively more burning / bombastic recurring themes, as the resolutions of their respective existential struggle / Big BUCK$ Mercenary Payday JACKPOT approach - intensifying what was once cheerfully optimistic/icily opportunistic into the percussively impassioned and furied! This post was always doomed to go sexual, symphonic movement + STG pace = killing release!gradiusscrub69 wrote:I seriously cant get enough of the Power Strike II ost.
