Peter Clarke - Space Harrier

Here is an Arcade game which I spent a lot of money playing in the mid 80's. The Amiga's soundtrack for this game covered most, if not all of the arcade-machine's subtunes but sadly lacked the drive and feel of the arcade soundtrack. This 'Main-theme' which is familiar to one and all even had wrong notes & chords, (when compared to the arcade version). So, another opportunity to really make the Amiga's sound capabilities shine, was missed and the 'arcade experience' which Amiga owners were looking for, was diminished.

I always felt this tune could be a good one to remix with a little more drive and energy added. The genre kind of ended up somewhere between the 70's & 80's with some rock elements and some disco bits. I've added a good few chords to the arrangement which aren't in either the Amiga or C64 version; or it's Arcade predecessor.

It turned out okay, I think... but that's just my opinion.. What's your's?
