[Marauder]

No way, need more replies first.

[EDIT: Be aware that I want to prove to the person who wrote it that lots of people appreciate it.  He doesn't want it up here.    But it is.   ]

[EDIT2: Btw, it's someone in this community. ]

[EDIT3: If he finds this thread... I'm so dead]

[Unknown Target]

Lol, it's ok - really reminds me of music from an 80s jet flick

[Marauder]

Bah, one more's good enough.

It's...COBRA!!!  Cobra's band did it.  

I am to be decapitated at dawn for betraying him.

[Carl]

Sounds kind of like saved by the bell scene estabishment music.

[Marauder]

I thought power rangers.

[Taristin]

Should have known who it was from as soon as I saw the domain.


*hasn't listened to it*

[DaBrain]

Not even bad.

A tad to 'happy' for my taste... but not bad at all.

[Foxfire Inferno]

The song is performed by Kenji Yamamoto and originates from the game Dragonball Z: Budokai 3.
It is the song used in both the opening cinematics and the closing credits in which a longer 3 minutes & 48 second version is played.

Okay, HLP trivia time:

Cobra is to Kenji Yamamoto as Free Terran is to X.

Who is X?

[Carl]

I don't know. Who is Kenji Yamamoto?

[Goober5000]

Read Foxfire Inferno's post.

[Foxfire Inferno]

Kenji Yamamoto is a Japanese composer that does music arranging & composing for video game companies.
He did the soundtrack to the Super Metriod series, DBZ: Budokai 2 & 3 and other gaming music-related projects.

I don't know who this Cobra person is, but he definetely did not create this song, and if he is claming to have done so, then he's taking credit for copyrighted material.

[EtherShock]

I don't think he's claiming to have composed it. He's just having fun playing stuff.

I knew it was from a video game (especially with the title)! No way, he did the Super Metroid score? That is my favorite music from the series. ^_^

Other than the horrible sound quality and volume flucuations, it sounds OK. If this is supposed to be a ReMix, it needs some flavor to it. If this is a straight up cover, well...needs some flavor to it. This tune screams for improv. For a first try, it's good, flows well, doesn't feel weird. He picked a groovin' tune. Where's the bass?

Don't worry, we shall send a Jedi to protect you.

Is it a full band? It sounds to me like he just did it himself, possibly there were keys, not sure. *Listens again* Oh OK, I think there's bass and drums in there, but I can barely hear them.  Those levels need to be balanced better. Sorry for being cruel.

[Foxfire Inferno]

I'll host for you guys a better quality version of the full song.
That sound quality was crap. Give me a few minutes.

(It's not a remix. That's the original song.)

EDIT: There is a bass guitar playing in the song, but you wouldn't be able to hear it on that crappy file.
(Need a bit more time for  the song to hopefully upload onto my webspace. It's 5.64MB and is uploading slowly.)

[Foxfire Inferno]

There is the link to the file. (Soundtrack quality)
Again, this is the full 3:48 sec version of the song (Instrumental)
Japanese Vocal versions also exist, but for instrumental purposes, i'll just post the instrumental version.

So... HIG is to art, as Cobra is to music?


And uh... What did FreeTerran steal? I know he was... interesting, but i don't remember him claiming anything as his own...

[karajorma]

He claimed an Art of Greg Martin picture was his. He didn't fool anyone for long.

As for Cobra I think everybody should cool it until we've heard it from him. For all we know the sample could have been posted to show Marauder what he was playing not as a sample of him actual playing and the whole thing is a mix up.
