Vertex (Stage1)

    Stage1 theme of DODONPACHI DAI-FUKKATSU BLACK LABEL


    Well, well... being me I couldn't just walk away without doing some game music for my final sim. For those not into CAVE shootemups, this is the first stage theme of DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black Label, the major revision/update/pseudo-sequel of the original Dai-Fukkatsu. From the day it came out, I've been heavily hooked by its soundtrack. One of the best shootemup soundtracks, if not one of the best soundtracks overall in game music history. Vertex, was the flagship theme of the game, perfectly representing the energy, excitement and adventurous feeling of starting a new credit.
   Being so addicted, it was a matter of time I played around with it, but never got to fully finish it. With Best-Mix having its final celebration, I decided it was a good opportunity to finish it up and presenting it as the closing act of my simming hobby. I'm honestly quite happy with the result as I think it manages to sum perfectly my stepstyle and its evolution through all these years. The file features a combination energetic steps with long runs and complex rhythms, spiced up with plenty of crossovers. Quite upbeat  and technical through all the song, but just to the point that both expert and more moderate players should enjoy.
   Graphics feature some official art from the game, mostly the stage1 boss. Once again I must thank #Infinity for doing graphics for me one last time.

   I hope you enjoyed my works through all these years, and those that do enjoy it I hope you also enjoy my last one. It's time to move on, but it's been definitely a lot fun :)
   Thank you.
