Accident Road

This is an arrangement/remix/cover/whatever you want to call it of Accident Road, the song to the SNES-exclusive High-Speed level of Gradius III:

I'm hardly an expert when it comes to anything musical, so I mostly do this sort of stuff just for fun, which it certainly provides.

I sequenced it in FL Studio, using the game's dumped SPC file for reference. I didn't do much to change the original song's composition aside from spicing up the percussion a bit (although the parts I added in don't stand out that much, because I wanted them to complement the original percussion rather than distract from it), and adding in a few "Ooh" choirs, because the original arcade version of Gradius III used those in its soundtrack a lot, and I think they sound cool.

Just going off of memory, I find the sound I can only describe as ding ding! to be a little too subdued. Needs to hit harder and a little louder. As it is, the parts of the track where those feature sounds a little muddled. Good job overall though. Nice start, good sounds. Next step: experiment with the arangement!

This needs more love.
