GMC #19 - Salamander/Starquake - Lizard Star by Omega

Moonsound enthusiast know Omega from his techno songs for the Moonsound. He hasn't created a lot of music in the past few years, but the Game Cover Challenge triggered him to (get back and) dust off his Moonsound and join the challenge.

The game he chose at first is Konami's shoot-em-up Salamander, in particular the music from the Eioneus/Lavinia stages. Starting off as a close cover of the original SCC version, it quickly turns around in a techno-like version with some typical Omega elements in it. But at the end of the day there were still some patterns and tracks left in MBWave, so he decided to add another game soundtrack: Bubble Bus' Starquake.

Omega's track was created on real MSX hardware: a Philips NMS-8250 with 7mhz, 256kB RAM and a Sunrise IDE+CF adapter. And of course a Moonsound, so enjoy some 100% pure MSX music power! Omega even made the Moonblaster files available for you; grab them from the downloads database.
