We’re kicking off May Madness 2019 with the first remake of the year: the Battle and Boss Battle themes from Golden Sun!

A little recap for those new to GaMetal: every year, in May, I take a bunch of my old arrangements (usually anything more than 5 years old) and re-record them to make them sound better.

This year, I had 2 different ways for people to vote on the remake songs: a discussion post on the GaMetal Patreon, and a public 2019 May Madness Request Form that anyone could fill out and enter 2 songs.

I first remixed this song on the day of my ‘return’ in 2013, alongside Don’t Be Afraid. It’s always been one of my favorite older arrangements, and I’ve been wanting to remake it as recently as last year. It didn’t make the cut in May 2018 in favor of other songs, and because it was one of the top requests from the Patreon form and had a decent showing in the public form, I felt this was the year to get to it.

This time around, I changed around some of the sections where the guitar leads rather than the synth and vice versa (mainly in the first 2 minutes or so).

Golden Sun music is so good… this game really deserves either a remake or new game of some sort. Maybe someday we’ll see the series revival, but till then… at least we have this remix!
