Leading the charge is the Mission 1 boss music. It's not [i]quite[/i] done yet, but coming together nicely.

Turns out there are significant differences between the US and Japanese versions of the game's soundtrack, so I'm now thinking of how to reflect that as I cover each tune.
For now, here's an updated version of the Boss 1 theme (track #2). The summary:
- Added a second verse based on the Japanese version of the song.
- Sped it up to Tempo 150, which is about halfway between the US tempo (135) and Japanese tempo (160).
- The accompaniment in pattern 0A was originally a chord, and I tried arping it, but decided I liked the solid notes better.
- I AM NEVER PITCH BENDING A TRILL AGAIN (pattern 03). This required displaying register values and using a calculator to tune the frequencies correctly.
Still left to do:
- Not satisfied with instrument 05. It can't be longer than 24 frames, either.
- The US verse sounds ... missing something (note the empty Pulse 2 in frames 02 thru 06), however I'm not sure what to add because the original really does solo that part.
I've also started some work on the Mission 1 and 8 themes, but those aren't anywhere near completeion yet (though Mission 8 is closer).

WIP for the Mission 3 area music (US version). I actually put this together very fast compared to the others I'm still working on. I wonder why...?
I'll be including the japanese version alongside this sometime later. Its version sounds like a completely different song, but somehow still carries the same overall feels.

I think it's coming along pretty well! Do you mind if I post an unfinished Fire Hawk song I was working on? It's based on the MSX2 version of Mission 1, maybe it could help you out, because I don't plan on finishing it. All I got is the intro.

Not at all, but I don't need it, since that was one of the first tracks I started work on. Here's what I have of it right now -- estimated about 80-90% complete, really, and it alternates between the US and JP versions:

[quote=AlanSmithee]Yeah, it's pretty good. Though I'm mildly annoyed by that final note in frame 00, I think it should be B-3 instead of G-3.[/quote]
*checks source* Hey, whatd'ya know, it is. I'm actually annoyed by frame 00 as a whole, but I can't quite figure out why.
[quote=]Sierra really did make that soundtrack even better, didn't they.[/quote]
They did tweak a lot of the songs, some significantly. Mission 5 and Boss 6, for example, you can't see any resemblance between them they are that different.
