FX 2.0 - Vile Red Falcon
Posted by virt on August 26th, 2002 filed in FX 2.0(contra) this is the most sparse of all the songs, but contra is one of the sparsest konami soundtracks, too. I did some weird rhythmic stuff here.

This song sounds like stage one in Contra 4, but the link says Aug 2002. Did you remix the song from the game, or did konami take the song from you?
Fantastic music! Btw…I love the “hey” sample from TMNT3…needs to be in so many more games!

Virt actually created the soundtrack for contra 4! Being able to put this contra style tribute that he made in 2002 into a real contra game must’ve been the ultimate in fanboy payoff for him.

Eh? For real?! Either you’re pullin my leg, or there need to be more VIRT-tracks in games!
Wish I could recognize more music from Contra 4, but unfortunately I can’t get very far! (^v^;)
(not trying to be a bast…so congrats if you got your song into a konami game!)

Hi Ev! Thanks so much for the comments!
Nick is not pulling your leg, I composed the music and did all of the sound effects for Contra 4, including remixing my own song into Stage 1. It was developed by my friends at Wayforward, for whom I’ve done about a dozen other soundtracks.
In fact, there are virt tracks in just over 50 games now over the past 10 years, on Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSX, PS2, Wii, Xbox360, PS3, mobile phones, flash games.. you name it — Game audio is what I do for a living!
My professional site is http://jake.vgmix.com, and it has a partial listing of my credits (missing a lot of mobile stuff and most of my more recent titles).
Thanks again for listening to my tunes!

@ Jake:
Wicked! I must say you’re really talented! I downloaded a bunch of your songs (thanks for making them available for free), and you’ve really nailed the old school Konami vibe (not to mention several typical genres).
A couple of my friends are big Bruce Lee fans, so I sent them your “enter the dragon” mp3 (they said it was really well done), and I have never heard a more awesome remix using the NES than when I heard your Trigun remix (Love all the music from that anime)!
(^o^) This really makes an old school gamer at home!
