Yuzo Koshiro – Streets Of Rage II (Bare Knuckle II) (1993)

February 11, 2024

Koshiro’s genius is (of course) ever-present on the SOR sequel as it was on the original. My one complaint is perhaps the lack of variety here when paired up with the OST for the first game, what we get is essentially more of the same kinda compositions. Now, in a world where such smoooooooooth fuckin’ pieces of work can be composed for the Sega fucking Genesis console there is the very real argument that if it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it. That definitely applies here! What we get here is another 55 minutes or so of solid video game techno music. The 90s really were a special time!
