Kohta Takahashi is the fucking man (Unidentifiable Music Track)
 

I posted about this before, but I never got an answer.

This is a track used in a Street Fighter III video that my brother found online. It might have been from YouTube or something. Anyway, I don't think the track is from Street Fighter III, but it's possible.

Do you know what it is?

Ironic, I had just heard this song a couple of weeks ago, otherwise I wouldn't have recognised it;

Kouta Takahashi - MOVE ME - R4 / RIDGE RACER TYPE 4 / DIRECT AUDIO (1999)

Don't worry, I would've had you covered if you hadn't. Why is Kohta Takahashi so fucking awesome.

(oh, because I just found out tonight he composed LODE STONE from Ace Combat 2, that's why)

He is indeed pretty damn awesome and the only reason I heard the song was because I used to be into RR music - this song, among others, reminded me of how much I really enjoyed the series.

I don't have the music from Ace Combat 2, think you could move a link of Lode Stone in here, for great justice?

He also did Warning Line, which is in this year's BSC.

And here are two more from AC2 he composed just because.

This thread is now about why Kohta Takahashi is the fucking man.

Quoted for truth. He also composed some of the best Klonoa 1 & 2 soundtracks. And he made an album called Kohta Takahashi's Fuckin' Sounds, so you know he's hardcore.

Anyway, thank you, Killy and CHz! I actually have this OST sitting on my computer. I thought I had heard this soundtrack before, but maybe I only listened to certain tracks... Guess it's time to hear the whole thing!

P.S. CHz, how do you know which tracks he composed for AC2? =O

Nevermind, it was right on his site:
SOLID STATE JAPAN

Damn, he did half the soundtrack! That's badass. He also did the guitar on "Blow Away", which is probably my favorite track.
