Another Thunderforce-inspired OPL3 jam with the preview copy of the new RADTracker. This one only uses a few tracks. The extra waveforms are great for gritting up that slap bass!

The bass is the star of this baby but that vibrato organ sound is pretty great as well. Not going to lie, I was hoping for a slightly longer B section that takes it to a more remote place, but it's still good stuff and I enjoyed the chord changes in the B section. It really captures that classic 90s shmup sound for sure, and if you told me it was from one of those old games I'd definitely believe you.
this drive in this song is awesome. would be cool as a eurobeat track.

That's a really good idea. I can totally see that. I think if the B part built to somewhere the second time around, it'd make it more satisfying than just modulating right back. It would give it a real purpose.
I'm looking for feedback on the chords. I might be sticking with 7ths too much, and maybe that's making it feel trapped-- as opposed to throwing a 9th in there sometimes. I've been also trying to incorporate more circle of 4ths into the chord changes to jazz it up, because I have a tendency to do rock/pop chords too much.
The bassline is driving, but maybe it sticks on the 1 too much of the time.
The chords are basically me just playing with stacked 5ths. I should stack 4ths as well to increase the density at certain points.
