Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6RR score streaming on Spotify

Arcade racing game Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6RR arrived in arcades in Japan last month. The digital soundtrack by series composer Yuzo Koshiro is now available for streaming on Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited.

According to the composer, the Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune music scores have previously patterned themselves after trance and techno music conventions. In order to lend variety to the latest installment, developer Bandai Namco requested that Koshiro branch out into unfamiliar stylistic territory.

As a result, the composer incorporates Russian hard bass, progressive house, synth wave, and future funk into the background tracks of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6RR. The musician, commenting on the official website, describes "Coming to You" as complementing progressive house stylings with a rhythm and blues vocal performance by singer-guitarist Jeff Washburn.

"Starry Night" is featured in three separate arrangements, performed by vocalist SAK. Koshiro explains that the live instruments were recorded in an effort to emulate an early 80's Japanese pop song sound. The album includes a Japanese and English-language rendition of the song, along with a future funk remix popular among established dance clubs.
