Around the time that Alex Kidd Complete Album and Legend of Joe Musashi: SHINOBI Music Collection were announced, the details for another WAVE MASTER project were surfacing. This album was the Sega Motorcycle Music History album. Many initially believed it would feature the music of Hang-On, but that’s actually not the case (or is it?), as it instead features the music of some oldschool SEGA arcade titles including Enduro Racer (1986), Racing Hero (1989), A. B. Cop (1990), and Cool Riders (1984).
I haven’t played any of these games, but I can appreciate the fact that SEGA wants to get the music out there for fans who did. Well, the main thing is that the music is actually pretty damn awesome, and that’s all that matters. Also of note is the fact that all this music is credited to “SEGA” as opposed to individual composers, which SEGA has seemingly avoided for these releases. In any case, I had no idea what to expect, so I was pleasantly surprised when this album ended up winning me over.
