♫Moon Over the Castle (Gran Turismo) SNES Arrangement - NintendoComplete
This is an arrangement of Masahiro Ando's main theme from the Japanese version of Sony's 1997 PlayStation game Gran Turismo. It has been arranged for native playback on SNES hardware. The audio was recorded directly from a launch-model SNES deck.
Wailing guitars suck to do on the SNES, but I was pleased with how I managed to cram six voices into two channels in order to keep most of the organ and choir chords intact. The hard and aggressive rock organ parts reminded me of a lot of Boston's songs. I'm not a huge fan of the game, but I always thought that this theme rocked.
Thanks for listening!
And a shout out and thanks to John Linneman @DigitalFoundry It was your GT video that wrenched my memory of this song free after so long. I hadn't heard it in like 20 years.
