This was one of a few themes from Mega Man 2 I didn’t remember too well. At the beginning I wasn’t that into the original, thought it was a bit rough and not very interesting. But it growed on me like some music can, and eventually I started to dig the hell out of it.
When I started to read about this something etched to my mind, and that was the possible resemblance to the Metallica song “Seek & Destroy“. I did some listen, and sure there is a resemblance (only a couple of seconds), I’m somewhat sceptic to the possibility that the small section in Flash Man’s theme is inspired by Metallica. But who knows :). This is where you can hear some resemblance: 0:42 and 2:27, what do you think?
I did some play with chords from the beginning with this one, lots of trial and error too when trying out different chord progressions. I tried to keep the bassline at that one tone, but decided after some hours that I had to change that too to work with the chords I wanted. I also think that part of this remix is the one that took me the most time. The rest flowed pretty good.
The original verse and chorus are banger sections, I tried to keep close to them. Then at my own sections, starting at 0:55 I wanted to have some peace and calm for a while. Simple but colored chords with some relaxing and atmospheric pads, then adding a modest beat building up to a full beat with the theme melody and a solo based on that. Something new I tried to emphasize a bit in this remix was the choir you can here a little right at the beginning and then returning as an addition to the end of each 4/4 beat. I think I will use that kind of thing more and more, I get a feeling of more organic instrumentation whenever a choir is added.
I hope you enjoy listening to my Flash Man remix! The atmospheric part at 0:55 really calms me down good, hopefully you can feel that same effect. Take care of yourselves and your close ones!
