This is the biggest midi I've yet to put up, but it's also one of the closest sounding to the original song, so I think it's worth it. I don't think it'll take any longer than about 30 seconds to load on a 56K modem though, and you can listen to it as it loads, so I figure it doesn't matter that much. And it's still nowhere near the scale of an mp3.
Anyway, about the song itself, you should know that I've been playing Skies of Arcadia Legends a lot lately, seeing as the previous two posts are all about the game. And during the time spent with it, I've developed quite a liking for the game's music, the Bombardment track (the airship battle theme) being one of my favorites. And lo and behold, there was this awesome midi version of the song on vgmusic.com -- how could I not put it up for this week's now playing?
What I really love about this song, though, is that it perfectly sets the mood for airship battles. It just ... it's hard to explain, but it just feels right to have this music playing as you watch your ship maneuvering around and trading fire with enemy vessels, as well as for when you're setting up the next round's actions. It's fast paced, it's got a sense of tension and desperation, but it also has an air of serious determination about it. For me, it really helps make the airship battles come alive.
