Streets of Rage 3 (Remastered)

brunotapez It was 1994 when I bought this video game, and the first thing I did with it, like many, was listen to the music... I didn't like the change. I knew it was good music, so I became familiar with its sound in my daily life. Hardcore techno it wasn't easy for my dance-pop ears, but I learned to appreciate this jewell: Atomic-exotic ryhthms in exotic melodies and arrangements that range between a lab and emotional. Sometimes it seems dissonant but it is another kind of harmony. A Craftsmanship.

dlberes Wild and abrasive album—all of the Streets of Rage soundtracks are, but this one feels the most complex and interesting to me. Favorite track: Spinning Machine.

Bloma This album absolutely fucks.

about

One of the most unique, ambitious and experimental game soundtracks ever made. Sourced from the original hardware and carefully remastered in collaboration with composer Yuzo Koshiro.

Similar to the task of condensing Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima’s abundance of ideas into a Mega Drive cartridge in 1994, it feels almost impossible to convey the influences, technical achievements and sheer ambition of their masterpiece in a single paragraph today. By combining automatic composition methods, custom programming languages and a complete sense of artistic freedom, Koshiro and Kawashima transcended their medium and created something so incomparable that it’s hard to believe it came from any games console, let alone a 16bit one. Streets of Rage 3 is urgent, demanding and a complete rejection of the notion that video game music is either pedestrian or predictable.

This album was originally released by Data Discs in 2017 as a vinyl-only edition. This download version has been newly remastered for digital distribution in 2020.

The vinyl edition is still available to buy from our main website:

Note: this is an officially licensed product. Royalties will be paid to the composer and the rights holders with every purchase.
