That’s totally untrue, of course, with a wide variety of musical styles and instruments on display throughout the entire series as it advanced from beloved 16-bit tunes into the 32-bit era and beyond, and it’s a common thread throughout the 21XX saga that many of the most memorable tracks have a cohesive feel to them that complement the stage they’re featured in.Īrmored Armadillo’s eclectic jazz-pop-rock mix booms as you dive through caves on out-of-control minecarts, while the deep, forlorn baselines that permeates Sigma’s and Doppler’s fortresses and Gate’s laboratory speak to the greater struggle that X and Zero face in their mission. One of the friendly jabs I’ve liked to take at Mega Man X games over the years is that the music is made up entirely of electric guitar solos. Kellen Haney (Capcom USA Community & Social Media Specialist)įavorite Mega Man X track: “Our Blood Boils” – Mega Man X7, Composed by Teruo Konishi That main hook floored me the first time I heard it as a kid, and listening today it still hits me hard! But, this is just ONE of like a hundred all-time-greats tucked inside the MMX series.
It all really clicks when the main riff kicks in roughly 15 seconds into the track. At least, that’s the mental gymnastics my brain does when listening to this one! Imagine a mishmash of John Carpenter and other moody (yet melodic) synth goodness mixed with a bit of guitar shredding from modern synthwave stuff like Carpenter Brut and you get something like “Sigma Stage 2”. Some guitar, some synth, some standout bass guitar.
The whole vibe of the song is “dirty ‘80s.” This is probably my overall favorite “sound” of all time, which leans more into the mysterious / moody / ominous side of ‘80s synth than, say, a lot of the other soundtracks and pop-synth bands of the era. There are numerous tracks that immediately come to mind, but given that I suspect they’ll show up elsewhere in this blog, I’ll choose MMX Sigma Fortress 2. It goes without saying that the entire Mega Man X OST lineup is loaded with standout tracks, and certainly in the original MMX every single song is a banger.
