[Furry Fox Jet Pilot]

Also check out this amazing remix of Gallantry from the original Raiden.

[Lord Satori]

It's nice and horrible Unicode abuse.

Almost all the music from Jets n Guns is awesome, specially some from th Gold version. In fact, I only played the game because the soundtrack was by Machinae Supremacy, there was no way it could be bad. It turned out to be a nice different shmup.

It's from a zalgo-text generator.

also, Musha Aleste's soundtrack is full of goodness, like Galvanic Gear and everyone's favorite [somehow, it's actually one of the weaker songs in the game!], Full Metal Fighter.

[soupbones]

This thread needs some Thunder Force goodness...
Thunder Force II - A Ray of Hope (Cover)
Thunder Force III - His Behaviour Inspired Us with Distrust (Arranged)
Thunder Force IV - Metal Squad (Cover)
Thunder Force V - Steel of Destiny
Thunder Force VI - Cherub Purple

Best music in the genre.

[Klatrymadon]

I've been uploading a few Darius bits and pieces, if anyone fancies a listen. There'll be more stuff to come, but I won't be able to upload whole albums, sadly, as I've already had a slap on the wrist from Taito about that.

Edit: yup, they got me!

[BIL]

Good luck on your mission. Know that I'll be among those shaking a fist at litigious corporate cunts if they meddle in the sharing of glorious VGM once more!

[Klatrymadon]

That's the spirit, comrade! Together we will win!

We should get 100 of us to upload the Metal Black soundtrack at the same time. Let them uncluster that fuck.

[Furry Fox Jet Pilot]

These two songs are awesome!
Air Gallet- Stage 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgb2xUAqLAM
Air Gallet- Stage 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaKELuvv ... ure=relmfu

[exquisite_torture]

Salamander's first level.

[replayme]

Einhander - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyITEQDiJq4
Radiant Silvergun (although this one loses some of its impact with no bullets on screen) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWvweYHsYhE
Axelay - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uRjxxgHLC4

And lets not forget the legendary Bitmap Brothers... Xenon 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsxnKkstST4

[Vyxx]

I'm sure it's been said but Garegga's OST is godly.

[jepjepjep]

These two songs are awesome!
Air Gallet- Stage 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgb2xUAqLAM
Air Gallet- Stage 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaKELuvv ... ure=relmfu

These are really good. Was the guy who did the music/sounds for Air Gallet the same guy who did the sound for Batsugun? Some of the effects remind me of Batsugun.

I'm not too sure, but I think it might be because Air Gallet was made by the company Gazelle, which was founded by former Toaplan members when Toaplan went bankrupt and closed. Also, Gazelle ported Batsugun to the Sega Saturn, so I am almost sure that it was the same sound/music composer.

[trap15]

Air Garret! Will blowwww your socks off!

[Furry Fox Jet Pilot]

Does anyone know where I can find sheet music or tutorials for how to play Raiden music on the piano? For example just like these.
Raiden II- Stage 1- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP9JIpOgd_I
Raiden II- Stage 6- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxBj0F0Gx-0
Raiden II- Stage 7- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts1hgPfvhBk

[KAI]

As far as I know, the soundtrack releases don't include sheets on their booklets, but you can play these files on a Midi player like Guitar Pro and check the tabs.

and yes, Air Gallet and Batsugun's soundtracks were composed by the same person, Yoshitatsu Sakai.

[Furry Fox Jet Pilot]

This isn't a shmup, and everyone probably thinks it sucks and is overrated, but damn, the the soundtrack is amazing.

[Furry Fox Jet Pilot]

Even though many people hated this movie, the soundtrack was amazing, in an awesomely melancholic way.
