One of my favourite things about transcribing and analyzing music is trying to get inside the composer's head and figure out what he or she was thinking. SimCity's soundtrack for the SNES gives a perfect opportunity to do just that, due to an unearthed completed soundtrack for an NES version of the game that never saw official release. Being able to compare two different soundtracks for the same game, written by the same person, gives us two completely different approaches to achieve the same musical goals. I found the process of making this video very exciting and enlightening, and I hope that you feel the same way watching it!
