Last Ninja 2 - Guitar Remix

- [THIS REALLY KICKS IN AT 27s!] Here is my version of the classic C64 tune Last Ninja 2 - Central Park.
This was crying out to be beefed up with some guitars, drums and whatever else I had handy, but I also kept the SID sounds in there to give it that classic C64 feel.
I used QuadraSid (a VST plugin that emulates the sound of the C64 SID chip) to copy the original sounds (took ages to get them sounding right), and after adding the guitar I was pretty pleased with the result.
This was great fun to do, so if anyone has any requests for more chip tunes that could do with a bit of guitar treatment then let me know - we can add to the new genre of SID rock!
PLAY THIS LOUD!
Original composed by Matt Gray
Arranged by Richard Braithwaite

EDIT - Been asked what kit I used to do this, so here goes - DAW - Cubase SX 3.1, Quadrasid (for all SID sounds), Guitar Rig 4 (for beefy guitar sounds), Superior Drummer 2 for Drums (simply amazing drum samples, best I've heard), Halion 3 (samples for middle 8 Japanese sounds), Les Paul guitar, Cort 5 string bass, Triton Pro master keyboard, various reverb, chorus and compression plugins, er, and a whole lot of time!
Not enough people know the context of how good this tune is and how good that game was.
This version is an absolute masterpiece. Amazing job!
It's those sounds of the c64 that you left in that everybody tries to replace with real instruments when try to remake it, are what brings it all together.
You knew exactly what to update and what to leave alone. This is by far the best remake of the song.
It's practically perfect.
the perfect comment to a perfect remix :)
100% I´m 12 years old again
Me to :)
Excellent work! Faithful to the original score! 🥰 ❤️ 🙏
10 years on and i can tell you, this is a great tune to drive to
What an absolute classic game theme.
Right, modern games-- listen and learn.
Can't stop listening, best version ever.
Same here
EXACTLY as I imagined it 28 years ago. Superb!
When I was a kid I imagined this song to sound exactly you played with guitar!!! Great work :)
One cup of childhood coming right up! Damn, this video is 12 years old. But nicely done.
R.I.P. Ben Daglish. I were lucky to meet him in Norway, 2 years ago with Matt Gray.
So fucking sad news... listening to all his tunes in a row for hours - just like in the past few weeks when I was repairing Commodore machines... :'(
Just to mention a fact here... Daglish, that great talent, composed The Last Ninja (1) tracks. The Last Ninja 2 tracks (as this one) were composed by Matt Gray.
@@Terbie36 I always knew Matt Gray made this one.
@@V3ntilator Ok. I just thought that it'd be more appropriate to mention him under The Last Ninja 1 tracks. That would also not cause any confusion for those who don't know which composer composed which game. Cheers.
@@Terbie36 No problem. :) Cheers.
If they remade this game for moden gaming systems, this should be put on the remake. :) Totally Love it.
The perfect version of the song
UPDATE - Have uploaded the MP3 to remix.kwed.org, search for Last Ninja 2, it's the one titled 'Last Ninja 2 (Central Park Guitar Remix)' arr by Richard Braithwaite
Free to download as well!
Here in 2021 hearing this version for the first time and (after picking my jaw up off the floor) heading to download for playback through my work day tomorrow
Holy Sh.. - It's like Commodore 64 on steroids. Love this Tune :D
tears drop copiously ... what a melancholy and what amazing version
You are literally a music GENIUS, my friend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting! I *love* it! And it brings back good memories of hacking my old Commodore 64/128. I think I was like only 6 or 7 then (it was the late '80s) but wow, this music just proves that with the right talent (i.e., you), you can make the C64 sound but _glorious_! LOL thx :)
Wow! This one rocks! How could I have missed it for 10 years? ;)
Still great! Always reminds me when I typed something like load "$",8,1 to my commodore 64😅👍🏻
I am literally in awe. My jaw just did the whole cartoon dropping thing :D Awesome job, mate. I've often wondered how well decent C64 music would translate to real instruments, sad individual that I am, You have proven beyond a doubt that it really... does... work, and I thank you :P
So awesome this game for c 64. - And the music -
Bravo maestro! Talk about hitting the nail square on the head, everything about this remix is superb 👌
I listen to this in a playlist named Music for Chads
Of all the versions out there in the Cloud and UA-cam! Yours is truly the best one. Thank you for this beautiful remake :)
Got a real banger here.
I like how you preserved the oriental sound of the original theme. Excellent cover! One of my favourite games from the childhood after 20+ years can remember like it was yesterday.
How is it possible that I heard this song from the radio this morning? o.O
This is also very well mixed. The panning & the processed square wave, & I love guitars in the middle channel! Always sounds much warmer.
Fantastic job! Brings back great memories....and perfectly kicks 'em with your great remix. You nailed it! Thanks a lot.
Wow, this is fabulous. What a remix! Love it, thank you.
Goosebumps!!! So good!!! A classic!!! Fantastic!
Long live last ninja and you.You make my day...i have no words...you back me to my childhood...

Nice work. :)
I Love this man. I listen to this a lot! Thanks so much! Ninja!
I love it! The transition from the into to the heavy guitars is awesome. Also the original sounds mixed with really good quality guitar and drum samples makes this one the best c64 remixes! I also like the more mysterious themes at the end. Well done, great job!!!
