FG's Underrated Videogame Music 292 - Crossing the Sea of Clouds (Detana!! TwinBee)
12Name: Crossing the Sea of Clouds (Stage 2)
Game: Detana!! TwinBee
Developer: Konami
Year of Release: 1992
Composer: Michiru Yamane, Hidenori Maezawa, Masae Nakashima
Another shooter-based UVGM comes from the delightfully challenging cute-em-up Detana!! TwinBee, the continuing adventures of the adorable bee-shaped anthropomorphic spacecraft TwinBee and his efforts to save the planet of Meru from an unknown invasion.
Konami shooters (and most shooters in general) tend to have pretty sweet music to pump one's energy. But TwinBee's music not only gets one fired up, it also gives a candyfloss feeling of warmth, such as stage 2's music when crossing the sea of clouds.
A cheerful, whimsically rock-and-drum piece that energises and brightens one's disposition as they do their utmost best to survive the volley of penguins and strange flying things, hiding deviously among the clouds.
