Thank you all for the kind words everyone, it really means a lot to me! 🙏🏾
Re-arranging music for a remake of a game that plenty of people grew up playing is a big responsibility, and one that I don't take lightly.
While working on this, I spent some time reading comments and stories of OG Contra fans to make sure to include some of the things that they loved most, so I'm really glad that you guys like the track!
The track's name is "Rising Tide", you can stream it on Spotify here:
open.spotify.com/track/3rzq6JS61YSXmbRhFKvg3B?si=391d3017a268454e
I think it's also available on other digital stores, and it's also unclockable within the game as an alternative soundtrack for the Waterfall Stage in Contra: Operation Galuga.
This is the only theme I worked on for this game, but there's also a whole bunch of cool remixes from other awesome people you may know in it. Hope you'll have fun playing the game and vibing to the music while you play!
(lol I just saw an ad featuring you when I clicked and got really confused)
As an old Contra fan myself, I love what you made!
You deserve it my friend. I hope more game companies hire you, pls dont stop here.
Man! I hope you can come to Osaka and do some live shows!
Brother, I've been listening to this track non-stop for the past week while I do gamedev work. Love it. Have you ever had these moments though where, when you listen to a track often enough, there are parts that sort stand out and your brain registers these weird things? I swear at around 40 seconds into the track, there's a modulated voice that sounds like it says "Bitch" and I cannot unhear it every single loop hahaha
@@mewberthildimew9037 I do think the best tracks are those where you keep noticing more layer the more you listen to them. So, glad to hear that!
The vocal in that bit says "Bass", as a way to announce the acid 303 bassline that follows :P
Damn that's just the right amount of old and new. I hope this game is good.
Worst case scenario, we'll still have a banger ost to listen to!
Sick news, and banger remix !!
Oh shiiit, the waterfall theme is amazing. Good job, man!
Been missing your content, but glad to see you working on more and more games.
This arrangement has so much energy, it really makes me want to move. A surprise, too, when the string section comes in because of just how smooth it flows in. It's very good~
Original Contra was THE first game I've ever played in my life. I remember I was 7 or 8 years old, being very bad at the game, always asking my father to join me to play session of Contra because I wasn't skilled enough to beat it alone 😅
Thank you, Alex, for your new version of waterfall theme and for bringing back these memories to me ❤
This is genuinely amazing! Huge W!
Man the amount of versatility you're showing by remaking different themes in different genres is just crazy!!!
Great news! I want more of your music in new games!
Bad ass my friend. I grew with this theme and you arranged it just made me flashback to my childhood. Gonna rock this version as much as I did when I was a kid. ❤
_A_ Konami game, you say? No big deal, right? Just among _the biggest_ classics of the era, and all that. 😉
Pretty awesome work, man! I do believe they placed their trust wisely.
I thought we were gonna get a track full of orchestral hits. I remember how Konami always had them in their songs in a certain period of time. They were perfect for hyping things up
YOOOOOOOOOOO! I LOVE CONTRA AND IM PLAYING IT NOW
You did amazing!
Congrats my guy!!🔥
I played the original Contra on the NES a LOT when I was a little kid. This track is wild, man. You knocked it out of the park.
Your updated version is amazing!
Waterfall stage. My childhoods arch enemy
Yo, this is awesome! Glad you had this opportunity, you deserve it.
Congratulations, mate! Been really enjoying the demo so far, and a big part of that has definitely been the music; it really gets you into the zone, y'know? Excellent work!
Excellent stuff mate! They couldn't have picked a better person for this! Well done! 👍🏻
I was NOT expecting such a surprise!
You absolutely knocked that track out of the park! Always such a treat to get these kinds of glimpses behind the curtain of the creation process.
I hope you know you have such a talent, Mr Moukala. Your music is fantastic! Much love from the UK!
I came from your "why I disappeared video" on your other channel and I love this so much. I'm late to all this but I can't wait to look at what else you got cooking here!
Amazing. Congratulations 🎉😊
Ok but this is straight FIRE though! Perfect balance of original vs brand new sound, mixed with the signature grooviness you love so much. I don't think this could've possibly turned out better!
music of contra is super important to me as it being literally first game I was gifted as a kid! Loved it for years to come and this version is a very interesting mix of old and new. Love your work!
Congrats man. Cooking as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
whaooo, CONGRATS!! and the song is great!! you nailed it.
This is insanely good!!!
This is such a JAM, Alex! Nice work!
I feel happy that you were working more and more with video games, you are an amazing and you worked for this, so, you deserve it my man
That's awesome! Great work, love it.
Absolutely wonderful, love that bass
This is greaaaaat! It's a banger, can't help but nod to the rhythm. Your passion for music shines in every piece you make 💙
Contra is still one of my favourite game, and I still cannot, for the life of me, complete it! The Waterfall stage always pipes me up quite a bit and your new arrangement makes that feeling 100 times bigger! Grandissimo!
You're always killing it with your insane music production and knowledge🔥
Love your content :)
Wtf, your work is incredible!! Good job!
This is giving me huge vibes of when Tee Lopes crushed the soundtrack for Sonic Mania (masterpiece soundtrack). Sounds amazing man!
I don't know if this is intentional or not, but the synthesizer sort of also works with the idea that you're fighting extraterrestrial enemies through the whole game. Really like the amount of depth you put into this!
Your remix of this classic stage theme is incredible!! Love it!! 🎵🎶
I plan to write a review of this soundtrack
I got an ad for your music course before the video 😅
Also thank you so much for this track! That was AMAZING!
This is fantastic... it has the essence of the old but taking advantage of the new tech. Hope you get more of these gigs and please please please make something with that slappy/groovy bass like the Attack on Titan one!
What an honor! You brought your A game and rose to the challenge! Great job!! 👏🏻
THEY REMADE IT?! *and* it's got your touch in the music? Gotta have it. Fantastic update to the Waterfall!
Wow man, great remix. I’m getting this game at some point, “Run and Gun” is one of my Favorite Gaming Genres.
Thank you CZcams recommendations! Been banging my head to this track since before the game launched.
This man has never once missed with a rearrangement.
That was God damn incredible.
Sounds incredible! Reminds me of how Tee Lopes reimagined the OSTs of the original Sonic games while staying true to how the music made you feel. Congrats on the gig!
This is amazing, I haven't watched a video of yours in a while and it's a treat to see this one with such a banger remix.
Congratulations Mr. Moukala. Your skills as a music writer/creator/composer are being recognized that companies see the awesome value you show case. You remind me of Ihy Neter of Music, so with that may you continue to rise in your music endeavors.
Never played the original Contra and this still gave me nostalgia for it. Epic dude!
Missed your content! Congrats and I'm genuinely amazed from the news!
wow!!! Congrats Alex! amazing work, wouldn't expect less from a master like yourself :D
oh man, I can imagine how contra 3's music would sound like if it was remade, the final gauntlet music was badasss during it's time. :O
Well done man. I missed your content. Its great to see you putting put work
damn that retro with new age sounds so goood and the POP's nice job
Hell yeah! I will be playing the game this Friday in local coop with my best friend. Can't wait to get to the Waterfall stage to enjoy that banger while playing! Let's fucking go!
if they get you to do something for the remakes they have in production right now (Silent Hill, Metal Gear, etc) I will blow!
Congrats! I'm always glad to hear your stuff!
Yoooooo, LOVE THIS! I'm so glad to hear you put your funky flair on things as huge as Contra!
So glad to hear the music you wrote in this video, because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to get there and hear it in Contra 😅
Bangers as always! You never disappoint!! 😎👍🏽
excellent job Alex!!
As someone that grew up on the NES and SNES this is amazing. It feels like its been updated and improved and I love it. Keep being amazing and thank you for putting this out there for us to hear.
This is absolutely sick!!! Good work.
Congratulations Alex, you absolutely nailed the arrangement!
This is an amazing remix of a classic - you continue impress and remind me why I look up to you!
So glad to see you're getting more and more work with videogame soundtracks
Bravo! Purchasing now since I know you contributed. Well done, sir!
The modern mix with chip tune works so well.
ABSOLUTELY BANGER remix, so glad you're getting more game work!! keep rockin!!
So glad to see this. I've loved the wayforward games that I've played so far, and seeing that your work is in this game makes me even more interested. EDIT: Dang. You really kept the konami vibe while giving it your distinct flare. It's so good!!!!
Tu enfoque ha sido muy acertado y ajustado. Felicidades.
aaayyyyy this is sooooo melancholic!!!! you did a wonderful work!!!!
Always love the music you can come up with, and it really shows me that you love what you do ❤
Sounds great Alex! Congrats
As always it's amazing
Loving the new music here! Hits me right in the nostalgia!
Congratulations man, sounds super cool! I love that funky retro-modern videogame style of the arrangement!
This is some sick arrangement! We want more!
This is fantastic! Congratulations!
Huge W! I will buy that game only for that soundtrack of yours!
And I hope to see your music in a Final Fantasy game, really, I do!
congrats! and the music sounds fantastic!
I played the demo and I did not know you worked on it. Congrats. I am happy for you.
This is so cool and inspiring!
The video can essentially be boiled down to you saying: “They asked me to make the waterfall track better, so I did.”
Good video. 👌
Yooo Alex this rocks! Love the way you modernized it while keeping the spirit of the original song
holy crap, the dream! So happy for you my friend!
I thought I was crazy, I actually got your ad for the first time while playing this video, I honestly thought it was a bit before it went on for a bit pressing skip actually made me think if I was crazy for a second
You can tell it’s Alex here because of the funky base line. Very nice
I missed your content so much, the song slaps!! Btw your interview with Eric Roth was amazing, he's such a pleasant human being. I watched it because I recently attended the NieR Orchestra concert in Berlin which was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life :)
I love it! Can’t wait to hear it in the game Alex :)
OMG congrats Alex - there is not enough ass in the world for you to kick it all! What a track! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you my dear friend!!
The perfect blend of nostalgia and modern mixes!
Awesome! I might not play this game but it is a banger and would hype me up tremendously for this stage of the game. :D
I especially love how you included the original vibes and lifted them up into our new century! :)
I love Alex Moukala Music videos!
Waterfall theme slapped back in the day, and slaps harder now. I'll have to get me the game and soundtrack.
YOOOOOOOO thats a banger
Hey! Long time fan! I'm really happy you got to do a "remake" song for a video game! You can see how passionate when I first saw your video follow FF7 Remake so Congrats and I hope it's the first of many we get to hear from you for us old school fans!
