Shadow of the Beast 2 game over tune - taken from Miami Vice?

[laffer]

I was told the Beast 2 game over music is taken from some Miami Vice stuff.. does anyone here know if this is true?

Maybe this is something everyone already knows except me?

EDIT - I found a Youtube clip from that Miami Vice episode (or movie or whatever it is, I have no idea), and it does indeed sound like the SOTB2 game over music. I created a little clip to show it (the volume in the clip I found was extremely low so I fixed that (it's on my junk account)) -

Yup, it really sounds like they 'borrowed' the guitar from Miami Vice.
Don't worry laffer, I didn't know it before either

Somebody should tell it Jan Hammer.

! Thank you. Where can I find that music from Miami Vice? I really need it.

[laffer]

Unfortunately, I have no idea. I just found that Miami Vice clip on Youtube, fixed the volume and put it in a comparison video.

I have the Miami Vice score (2-CD complete collection), but i don't know if it contains this special sequence. Check it later.

Edit: Looks like Tim Truman made this score for the episode #91:Hostile Takeover. So i assume this cue of score is not available. Some idiots downloaded 15 tracks from his myspace site and offered the links on mv.org. But maybe he release a score CD later, who knows.

Why not ask Tim? He's on facebook.

Just to make 100% sure, I downloaded the episode and checked and yup, it's like in my video.

If anyone wants to see the episode, it's Season 5 Episode 1.

The title music from Crown of Ardania is taken from the song [ Show youtube player ]

Haven't you downloaded my looped music pack a while back? No worries, because this is some rather unpopular one (both the game and the song ).

Here is an old one - the tune "Sorgens Kammer" by Dimmu Borgir is stolen from the Agony intro tune -

[Shoonay]

Yes, that's indeed a really old and commonly known one

[TCD]

Nice one laffer, this time the other way around So these guys also played Amiga games. Good to know

Yup

[laffer]

Double post, sorry.

Fortunatelly, the intro music from Agony sounds MUCH MUCH better than crappy Dimmu Borgir attempt

Well, the Amiga 1000 showed up a LOT in Season 4 and 5 of MV. They had one in the Police Station which they used for hosting a criminal database... lots of nice workbench 1.3 bluey shots

Erm, the A1000 also showed up a lot in 'trendy' offices when doing busts and the like...

A criminal had an Amiga 2000 in one episode too with the OCS chipset (red powerlight)...


Remember folks, anything that was in MV is 'cool'

Jan Hammer was ditched in Season 4 and 5 completely I think... dunno why, his music was synth heaven...
