Megaman music (or any music) that sounds like Raiden music

[Furry Fox Jet Pilot]

So, I have come across many comments on the internet that say Raiden music sounds like Megaman music, and also my friend told me the same thing when we were playing Raiden DX together. After listening to countless hours of Raiden music, I did notice that many of the tracks would fit right in a Megaman game, especially Stages 1 and 3 of Raiden III and many Raiden IV tracks also. So, any of you that are very familiar with the Megaman games, could you please recommend me some Megaman music that sounds like Raiden music, because after listening to virtually every Raiden track ever created, I am seriously craving more music that has that "Raiden-ish" vibe to it, if you know what I mean.

Nothing specific comes to mind right now, but I'm sure some shounen anime and tokusatsu shows sport similar tunes.
P.S. Does this scratch the itch?

Check out some of the X titles for Saturn and PS1, I think that's the sound you're aiming for.

For example X4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02kTCMcYBkA

Or X5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD96GahnFfo

What the hell!? This sounds nothing like any Raiden OR Mega Man.

Cool cover art, though.

Not Rockman, but do try out the original Alltynex (not to be confused with Alltynex Second) soundtrack. At more than a few points it recalls the driving, melancholic FM synth rock of Raiden II's OST.

>Attack the Zoldyzant Base

Might I suggest the Toaplan greats? Kyukyoku Tiger and Tatsujin Oh have some amazing tracks that I find to be good bedfellows for the likes of Raiden DX.

Good theme, but it doesn't really sound like Raiden at all.

Thanks, these are great, and yes this is the sound I'm looking for.

Thank you, those 2 tracks are great.

I haven't really paid much attention to Kyukyoku Tiger's soundtrack, but I will listen to more of it. As for Tatsujin Oh, I haven't listened to any of it, never having played the game in fact, but I'll give a try. Thanks to everyone who recommended me music.

P.S.: Feel free to ignore the title, I'd like music recommendations from any games, media, etc. that have that Raiden vibe. It's just that I found Megaman/Rockman games to have very similar sounding music for some reason.

‎Enemy Hall from Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero Mythos sounds like something taken from Raiden 4

Thanks, this song is amazing!

Haha, I can definitely sympathize with craving some more Raiden-style music. Raiden games have really great soundtracks; they are very emotive as far as shmup soundtracks go. Some tracks are very inspiring, while others are somewhat somber. They also all seem to have that insanely aggressive kick drum, haha. There just aren't that many games that sound like it, though - there are very few composers that can utilize the bass as effectively as Go Sato does.

I couldn't have said it better myself, and also listen to this, there is no denying it sounds like Gallantry from Raiden DX.

Great stuff, I just checked out some of his music. And speaking of chiptune music, I really love LukHash's album Digital Memories, several of the tracks have that Raiden feel to them. Hell, the song "Tonight" was even used in the Raiden Legacy trailer!
I also love the song "Encounter" from Alltynex Second OST, it just leaves me speechless.

Last, but not least, have you guys seen this interview with Go Sato himself? http://www.squareenixmusic.com/features ... sato.shtml

[soprano1]

LukHash's albums sound amazing!

I also forgot to mention that I would very much appreciate recommendations for music that sounds like Ashura Blaster's soundtrack. It's an obscure, underrated game similar to Twin Cobra, and it has one of my favorite soundtracks I've ever heard in a shmup.

Just listened to the first two stage's BGMs, good stuff. The serious tone and overall sound of the lead synth and drums reminds me a bit of Zuntata's Night Striker OST. edit: haha, figures the game runs on Taito hardware. Very distinctive sound.

>Burning Road
>Trance Parlet In Blue

Also definitely give Gun Frontier's OST a listen, if you haven't!

Great songs!, and I am really liking the sound of Gun Frontier's OST, I love that Taito sound, I just can't explain it.

I have yet another request, this time for music that sounds like the following tracks from Batman The Video Game for Game Boy and Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue on Game Boy Color.
Power Rangers- Boss Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt-JdoTZMbM
Power Rangers- Main Menu Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ4P7OuPBFA This one somehow reminds me a bit of the ship select theme from Xeno Fighters R
Power Rangers- Megazord Mission: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM5awIK4vUA
Batman- Title Screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez-nEX_4 ... DB&index=1
Batman- Gotham City Stage 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gppJ8K5C ... DB&index=3
Batman- Batwing Stage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlXlKrfz ... DB&index=6
Batman- Gotham Cathedral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rriRhB4 ... DB&index=7
Batman- Ending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwDAWF-X ... B&index=10

I am especially looking for stuff that sounds like Batman title screen, Batwing Stage, Gotham Cathedral, and Ending. I love the epicness of the Batwing Stage, and Gotham Cathedral and Ending give me chills when I listen to them, it's that good. Funny thing is, I swear I've heard parts of Gotham Cathedral's music somewhere else.
