Now here's something a little different. Gecko Yamori uses quite a few sounds from the SID sound chip, famous and infamous for thousands of Commodore 64 soundtracks, in this heavy techno coverage from Streets of Rage 2. Sorta neat, as it's using a chip that predates the Sega Genesis' own FM chip extensively :) Of course, there's also house piano, nice electro percussion, and (what made it for me) a great mono-glide analog synth that enters at 0'50". When that synth came in, the song went from alright to kickin' in a heartbeat - really added something that the melody is covered by a panning, chirpy analog synth that also does a cool pitchbend at the end of some lines. Piano actually has a played-through-a-speaker feel to it, which is neat, and the SID sounds, though very easy to spot, do work well with the other elements. If Yuzo had had a SID to work with inside the Genesis, some of his pieces might have uses similar textures in similar ways. Good clean fun, and a successfull and unique experiment. Recommended.
