Anyone know this Gradius III track?

I've only played the japanese Gradius III arcade on MAME, but I noticed right at the begining of stage 1 when you collect your powerups, when you die the first time, the music changes to a really cool up tempo beat.

Does anyone know which track I'm talking about?

Are you talking about Sandstorm, the first level track?

I don't know what the name of the track is, but it's the remixed tune (If I can call it that) just before you enter the cave on the first level. It only plays for a short time, while you collect the powerups.

Yeah, there are two different arrangements of that tune. One is used the very first time it is played in a game (i.e. when you first start the game), and the other is used every other time (i.e. for the formation rush in every stage starting with stage 2, and also if you die and respawn in the formation rush part of stage 1)

Yeah that's the one I mean, I love that tune! Also thanks for the link Gozer.

If only I could get the OST, I can't find it anywhere to download.

Well, you can get the SNES version of it at www.snesmusic.org. Just download the Winamp plugin and you're set.
