I just realized it is the 20th Anniversary of this Ian Gillan piece! As I am not a videogamer, I originally missed this gem. Personally I get mechanized Stranger In Us All-era Rainbow vibes, but that can be just me. 😉 I am sure you have differing opinions to share. Stick around for the remix to hear something slightly even more unexpected.

Thanks for sharing, wasn’t aware of this track at all. To me it leans more to the sound of “Gillan” band. Cool track though!

Wow!

I had no idea this existed!

Indeed sounds like vintage Gillan/Rainbow material.

AND it comes with a Karaoke version 😃

Thanks and have a great Sunday,

Julio.-

wow!..I didn’t know this song from the video game!

It’s amazing how BigIan did this very trashy Hokuto No Ken style thing at 61 years old!!!

Sounds like a leftover Rainbow JLT era backing track with Ian asked to sing over it. 😂

I haven’t heard that song in ages and now it can go back hibernating for another 20 years if you ask me! 😝

I love Uematsu, but this is not Ian’s best work.

The fact that there is a dance remix is terrifying to me…

As far as dance remixes go, it’s not that danceable.

If we’re talking danceable mixes, this is probably the closest I know [www.youtube.com/watch?v=B44Ge7czPaQ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B44Ge7czPaQ)
