Yutaka Minobe - Suspenseful Encounter

Rip #6 all done! Here’s Suspenseful Encounter (working title, since I feel it could use a better name but I have no ideas lol), played about 25-26 times in the series, putting it up there with A Close Call.  This track wasn’t too hard to work with, minus the “why can’t I get this ONE second clearly” thing.  The beginning comes from 29 after some static-removal, and then most of the track is a re-reverb’d vocal-removed version of the sample from 103 and then 93–the latter of which gives us the fade back in towards the end.  I was debating whether or not that was either a new part or part of the opening fade, but the fade goes on to keep fading in as the new piano part kicks in, so I kept it.

Enjoy; one more short track left!

Yutaka Minobe - Standby

Here’s rip #4, “Standby,” which is probably the least-played unreleased track in the series (at seven times, and usually before a duel), second only to “Amnael’s Theme” (four times).  Unfortunately, even 7 uses weren’t enough to get the theme as originally heard, and while I resorted to just vocal-ripping the sample from 106, I did want to intersperse parts of the un-ripped samples to restore that one “strummy” instrument that comes in every few seconds; but doing that and going back to the ripped sample seemed a bit jarring.  106’s sample doesn’t give a clear fade at the very end because of the transition to the Cobra scene and the background noise but it was the only one that I could use, so once I vocal-removed it, I had it crossfade with a few seconds of silence, and then added some reverb in Cool Edit to give it a fade.

Enjoy! Two more short tracks to work on, and then it’s on to the longer ones.

Yutaka Minobe - Contemplation

Here’s rip #3, pretty much done: Contemplation! A nice piece that played about 21 times in GX, first at the start of 46, and finally in 179 as Yugi and Judai prepare to duel.  Left in only 2 pieces of SFX (that footstep and Judai sighing), thanks to its use in 47 getting me the beginning (before Ojama Yellow has to–pardon the pun–butt in and cut it off) and its use in 164 (where Judai sighing comes from) getting me most of the end.  Enjoy!

(EDIT: Fixed up the track to get rid of those bits of SFX by using samples from 78 and 159 [after restoring it to its original B note, since it was higher-pitched].)

Kaiba Hacker Theme (Unofficial Title)

Another rendition of his ‘theme’ from the English dub. Not a bad track really, though this could be the nostalgia in my talking…

Nah, easily one of the few nice things to come out of the dub.

Aki Izayoi Battle Theme Version 2 1

This is actually just Version 1; a mix-up when 5D’s Sound Duel 1 was first released put a song that’d be on Sound Duel 2 Disc 1 as “Rage” where Izayoi Battle should’ve been.  The same mixup put “Enemy Attack” on it a second time where “Jack Atlas” should’ve been.

But this song is still awesome anyway.

Let’s take a moment and appreciate how beautiful the soundtrack to 5D’s is.

This BGM played every time a character died in the last season. As in “died and doesn’t come back”.

^{Posting because i’m seeing a lot of Antinomy’s last moments on my dash and I want to cause more despair >:D … which is ironic cuz this music played when Aporia shut down permanently too… *sob*}

Sound Duel 3 can be purchased here: http://www.yesasia.com/us/yuugiou-5ds-sound-duel-3-japan-version/1023809412-0-0-0-en/info.html or check your Japanese CD import site.

The feels just poured back in.

Also, it had a fitting name: “At Battle’s End”
