Well thank you, both of you! WB, it's exactly what it is: the menu song is only the arpeggiator doing its happy thing while the game song adds drums, a bass track and a synth melody on top.
So, happy times: let's have some fun. Since this is not Phantasy Star related, I don't expect it to become the next Fringe craze, but if it entertains even one person, I'll say it's an effort well spent.
Allow me to direct you
to my website. This is a short list of some of the stuff Nekoprism did over the years. There are nine songs there with four of those (labeled old school) done with our old Pre-Reason tracker so most of these aren't just old, they are venerable. We've done MUCH better things since but if you guys get a kick out of it, I'll add more. Click on "Awaken" (written in 2000), which is the "sequel" of our very first song called Sleepless Mode (From 1998-1999). It's techno it could very well fit in a video game.
Once you have listened to Awaken, answer this question: do you think that it is possible to fully remove the techno from there and orchestrate it?
Have fun!
