Man, the sound test mode in this Ridge Racers is the pimp shit. Play "Samurai Rocket" and "Daredevil" off Classic Disc 2 back to back. That's the business, alright.

DFS.

Dance/Techno

I love some of the new stuff - one disc in the harder techno vein of Rage etc, one disc in the style of RRT4 - mellow shit.

'Night Stream' is my current favorite.

 

[DJPS2]

I love Ridge Racer music. I still put Ridge Racer and RRR in my audio CD player from time to time. Are the remixes in this new game really that good?

 

[ourumov]

Can you rip some please?

It would be awesome...

 

[robox]

i'd like to get a piece of this action. always loved rr music, ever since the first one. rare hero owns my soul... is it in there? a new remix?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Every Kohta song is ace.

 

[JackFrost2012]

As good as the classic stuff is - which is very good - a lot of the new stuff is comparable. Ridge Racers PSP is sooo goood.

 

[Vibri]

No track tops Pearl Blue Soul or Lucid Rythmns but it's still damn, damn good.

 

[Amir0x]

Is that Pac Man Ridge Remix still in good form?

I've never played any of the RR games, what kinda music do they have?

The first three are a mix of "gamey" techno, happy hardcore, gabber, and a few other electronic genres. i might be generalizing a bit since i haven't played the original RR or Rage Racer in a while and only own the RR Revolution OST of the three. They're dated by today's standards and mostly not something i'd rock in my CD player if i hadn't played the game, but really good in terms of Japanese arcade racing game music.

R4 is a blend of house (vocal, with the organic "Quiet Curves" i love so much), progressive trance, and acid/electronic jazz. There's a good variance in the track with jazzy tracks like Pearl Blue Soul and harder tracks for the prerequisite hard driving, like Revlimit Funk, a sort of synth rock guitar big beat track. It's my favorite of the RR soundtracks due to variation and some really accessible tracks.

RRV returns a bit to RR's roots and is more electronic and hard than R4. A lot of it's progressive trance, or at least tracks that have similar progression and repitition. There's an oddball electronic rock track, "Dare Devil", a couple of house tracks and a ambient downbeat end theme by Boom Boom Satellites.

The genre classifications should be taken with a grain of salt, as a lot of the tracks combine various styles, making them hard to classify into one.

Hi folks. Anyone know how many Ridge Racer OSTs Namco released? Their names would be helpful too! Is Rage Racer part of the series too? What about Rave Racer? I'm interested in this style of music but not too big on the game series itself.

Thanks in advance.

 

[PanopticBlue]

Are there any R4 tracks in the game? That game has one of the best soundtracks ever. RRV soundtrack was a big disappointment in this area the game itself made up for it though.

 

[Gattsu25]

I loved the R4 soundtrack and Samurai Rocket from RRV

The second post shares my sentiments

 

[Future Trunks]

RR Type 4: The Ride + Samurai Rocket = <something good>
