Mega Man 2 - Air Man (Neon X remix)

Remix of Air Man’s theme from Mega Man 2, released on NES Check out my merch: | US based | EU based Air Man is a fantastic theme, I get why so many love it. I was totally mind blowned by it too when I first heard it. Before I started the work with this remix I haven’t heard Air Man’s theme since I was a little boy, still it got stucked in my brain and I knew exactly how it sounded like when that first bars started playing. To capture and bring the nostalgia I consciously made it just like the original from the beginning. What came up in my head after that is an “airy“ section (0:48) inspired by the main theme. I wanted atmospheric sounds and went for a feeling that you’re currently above the clouds in a distant place. Next short section (1:09) is a solo over the section 1 chords that just came into my head as I began to write it. After that (1:20) I use my standard lead synth and modified some settings to make it sound... different :) I got the feeling I needed a cooldown somewhere in this remix, and I thought it was a good time to put it right here at 1:41. And what couldn’t be better than another variation from the main theme :D And of course some of the atmosphere from section 1 is reused here but with different chords. I know I could have put in more of the original nostalgic theme, but as my progress writing this was going forward, I felt it was enough to have it played just once, except at the end (2:13) where I took the “refrain“ from Air Man’s theme and played a couple of turns. I hope you enjoy this one!
