This is actually Wild Force, Lior Rosner's work. It's only used during the Zen-Aku episodes as his "ground-battle theme". That's what I'm calling it anyway. Episode 11 Battle of the Zords has it around the 14 minute mark. Remaking a huge amount of that episode as well including the first battle with the Dark Wild Zords. Bought new percussion and a Native American Flute library for it. Got a 6 minute Time Force remake dropping soon from the finale arc if you're interested.

​@@baroque4days Ah, that makes sense. I haven't actually watched that much of Wild Force. I have to assume I saw Forever Red at some point because it's the most popular episode in the entire franchise, but the season was airing the year I was born, I believe. I grew up during the latter half of the Disney era, meaning Mystic Force through Jungle Fury because I somehow missed RPM despite being obsessed back then. My favourite season to this day is Operation Overdrive, so make of that what you will. Definitely interested in your recreations, though. I've been watching through the earlier seasons, and I'm up to In Space, which I'm enjoying (although I did admittedly skip Zeo and Turbo because I found the 3 seasons of MMPR an absolute slog). I also love music, so that's a plus. I know I could probably get away with skipping around because the Post-Zordon seasons are standalone barring crossovers, and Time Force in particular interests me, but part of me doesn't like skipping ahead. Which is hypocritical as I've already skipped seasons.

I know right, I love it so much. I see your Quantum Ranger pfp. I've got a 3 remakes from The End of Time Part 2 and 3 on the go. One I'm done with, just in the process of sorting the video for it. Over 6 minutes! Stick around, it'll be dropping within the week I expect.

@@baroque4days Probably my 3 favourite characters from Power Rangers would be. Quantum Ranger, Zen-Aku and Koragg

Thank you, it's really just a rough outline for now but yeah, seems to be doable for sure.

Ah, I forgot this was actually your request. I've completed up to the 3-minute mark now. I just need to fix some of the brass and complete the percussion before I continue on to the continuation of this cue in the final episode. Did I invite you to the Discord I've made yet? I'm posting work in progress versions of the tracks I'm remaking from Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force and the Time Force PS1 game. discord.gg/B7yegeE2

It is complete! Gonna have to wait for new year so I can get this organ library though but the MIDI is all down, the thing is mixed, tempo synced. It's 6 minutes 13 seconds long. Easily the best remake I've ever done. Really looking forward to posting it.

Organ library purchased, finished the final mix, just working on making the notation version so there can be a scrolling score for the video. Really hoping you like what I've done.

@ Anxious to hear it!

Time Force definitely uses the same so wouldn't shock me if it was a library they had access too. Either way, I'm going with taikos, they sound the best in this context. Next big investment will be the Royal Albert Hall organ though, see latest video for reason why. Also come join the new Discord, posting lots of WIPs there discord.gg/r3Ck75fg

@baroque4days I'm the discord already! Glad to be there and be able to follow up more closely to your next projects!

Wait, it all working? It kinda looks like there's two people who haven't clicked the tick yet so probably can't see all the other channels 😱

A few people on reddit mentioned a few frame drums that could work, none really sit in a mix that well so good chance they were recorded separately and added later with losts of extra production work on them. Taikos are the only real drum that could fill that sort of space but I doubt the showrunners had the money for real ones. They are often sampled so that's always an option too. Again, could just be recorded frame drums washed with loads of reverb and given a huge low end boost.

@@baroque4days Ah cool. After researching hand drums, I see how wrong I was.

Thank you so much!!! Not trained at all, I pretty much just learned a lot by making orchestral music as a kid and ended up finding baroque music later on. Just learned mostly by listening and getting told what I was doing wrong by people until I eventually started getting it right. As for the other question, tt was more the fact that writing in this style kind of lends itself to being classically trained. I was learning the basics and jumped into the deep end. Got demotivated and sort of stepped away from it around the time Covid and lockdowns hit. Just got busy with life and work but came back to it a year later to do some big improvements, then just got burnt out and forgot about it. Was only a month or so ago I decided I should probably finish it. But yeah, it was kinda hard to get back into the mood given how long it had been since I'd heard it let alone wrote baroque music.

@@baroque4days Wow, that is a really helpful summary of your perspective and decisions.

I love this

Same, for sure

Bar 63 stands out too much to me as well. I'll look into fixing it eventually I think. Point out some bars if you can. It's a mess because you have some parts from 2020, some rewritten bits and a lot of stuff you heard originally in the April 2021 upgrade. As said before, I did a few things in May 2021 which I never uploaded so seem pretty normal to me. But the newer parts are growing on me. If we call 2020 V1, April 2021 V2 (the one I had posted), May 2021 V2.1, and 2024 V3 here's how it all works: 0:00 to 0:57: V1 originally with corrections made in V2 and more in V3. 0:57 to 1:02: V1 originally with corrections made in V3. 1:02 to 1:57: All V2 here, original version had some absolute ass episode which led directly into the G Major theme. 1:57 to 2:45: The reason I removed V2. All of this lovely stuff was V2.1 from May. 2:45 to 3:08: This is all new stuff from V3 I filled the awkward gap with to get back to G Major. Not super happy with some parts cough cough bar 63-64. 3:08 to 3:15: A tiny bit added on to the start of it in V2 but mostly all V1. 3:15 to 4:51: All V1, believe it or not. Bar 100/101 were improved drastically to change modality a bit. A lot of counterpoint was heavily improved in V2 which you would have heard. 4:51 to 5:07: V2 but everything from 4:57 onwards (bar 110) was left just the first violin part which faded out in my V2 video. V2.1 added all of the orchestral interjections, second violin part, the continuo. 5:07 to 6:10: All V2.1, a callback to earlier in the piece mentioned at 1:57 to 2:45. The major chord there before the fast runs was where it ended for 3 years before I made V3. 6:10 to 7:02: All brand new with V3. 7:02 to 7:42: V1 technically, just the theme again. As said before, lots of improvements in V2 and V3 to the counterpoint.

@ that all makes sense! I can’t right now but if I remember I will let you know the other bars and bits that sound slightly unnatural!

Bar 64 is almost comic to me now. A slightly awkward way of getting out of a tight spot I left myself in all those years ago. Tried to basically reference the circle of fifths progression in the theme and as said earlier, lean on the only two similar chords to E minor I could get out of the sharp keys in B Major and E Major. Excuse for chromaticism is, there's two or three other instances of it in there now so I'm going to shamelessly leave it in and call it foreshadowing XD. Still, it technically works even if a bit dodgy. Want to write the 2nd and 3rd movement with more of a plan XD.

Absolutely agree with both points Ivan!

Aaaaaa I am not used to such kindness. Thank you so much, you're really good to. I enjoyed listening through your works the other day. I honestly didn't expect anyone to notice this video at all, I feel so proud hearing this. Thank you so much, it's been so long since my baroque days, maybe I'll just have to write a second and third movement some day.

@@baroque4days yes, do!!! You need to post this on the baroque composition subreddit btw!! or i could!

I was literally in the process of copying the link and hunting the comment you left last time XD. Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm a little speechless reading this. It really means a lot, I'm not used to praise. I hope you enjoy it when you do get to listen to it. You might find it a little strange playing back given a few parts will stand out that had to be altered for the sake of counterpoint but, it's the same piece at heart. Also, a few bits which you will only be hearing for the first time now existed a month after my video was posted only in my final private mix back in May 2021 (which is why I took the video down as it had some old rough ideas rather than the final version I did in May 21 and I didn't want to go through the effort of making a scrolling score video until I finished it). But yes, now the entire thing is done and over 7 minutes long! Take care and thank you so much again. 💓

@@baroque4days you're so kind you're very welcome! its also nice to meet a fellow Brit on here as well, i didnt realise you were until i saw it on your page today :)

Didn't have a description on here until a couple days ago. Figured I should. But yeah, the channel has mostly just been a few unlisted shitposts and the odd more contemporary tracks I've made. Definitely will try to post more of my own stuff here when I'm done with it. Definitely should get the little baroque keyboard piece I wrote up too. I did have 3 Ouvertures (Orchestral Dance Suites) but I wrote them before I knew the rules of counterpoint so they are full of parallel 5ths and octaves. This concerto was pretty much the first I wrote after learning how it was supposed to work which is part of the reason why I got very disheartened. But Opus 13 which I wrote mid 2020 a few months after quitting the Concerto is quite decent. But yeah, for the most part, the most luck I've got with views is obviously all these Power Rangers score remakes. Not sure if you know the Fallout game series but the guy who wrote the music for stuff like Dragon Age, Fallout 3, New Vegas, 4, Starfield, Prince of Persia, a guy called Inon Zur actually did a huge amount of the music from the show so it's usually pretty great. Definitely always learn stuff from transcribing them by ear and working with my own libraries, stuff I can then apply to my own music.

@ :)

I know right, there's so many brilliant sounding patches on those old 90s ROM synths and I keep finding ones that I've heard in TV and games of the era. Got a new percussion library really recently so going to be working on some more bits from Wild Force, Time Force and Lightspeed. Most recent video lists a few things to come and some very rough demos (before I got the aforemention library)

@ oh! Thats news to me I didn’t know those are sound patches from a 90 rom synth

@@lyshaoseguera9944 The Zen-Aku flute sound definitely is, I think some elements of the actual score may be. You often hear the same ominous sounds being used over and over in each season, some of which are definitely from the Roland Orchestra board. Rest of my soundtracks on here though are done with much more modern libraries, of course, but sometimes there's a specific sound effect used which comes from an old ROM synth.

@@baroque4days that makes sense, I guess it can be a little hard to make something sound more old and mysterious in a modern day libraries. Still it’s amazing how you made them sound so accurate to the show of wild force

@@lyshaoseguera9944 Yeah, for sure. Though the real thing is, those old sounds are pretty standout. They don't do anything fancy, it's usually just a few specific notes recorded and then stretched across the keyboard, layers and synthesis to make it sound authentic. They just sound like the time, maybe it's jsut nostalgia but I love them. Really happy to own a physical one. Got one before they doubled in price. But yeah, I'm certain they were using that ROM synth still in Wild Force. I think the In Space soundtrack was completely done with one of them. There are a few instruments that are a dead giveaway. But yeah, good news, I guess, I've been working all day on another Zen-Aku piece so might actually be able to release it earlier than expected. It's pretty much covering everything from 11:53 to 15:18 in Episode 11 (th-cam.com/video/ulQgUNxZmy8/w-d-xo.html). Tempted to extended it out and include the titular battle of the zords scene too and just run on to the credits.

Forgot to mention that one but that's absolutely on the list. Probably leading into the ending of Part 2/start of Part 3 with them racing back to the Time Ship

Watched it yesterday, End of Time Pt 2 and 3 have some absolutely S tier soundtrack. I'll have to do a few bits for sure. I'm really tempted by an organ plugin but honestly, kinda saving up for some better percussion so I can get Inon Zur's wonderful traditional orchestral percussion done properly. I did actually buy a waterphone sample library with this project in mind so, I'm pretty geared up.

I felt the same way watching clips of Gaoranger honestly. It was more just an fairly peaceful whistle. Zen-Aku's music carries a lot of pain and loneliness. Fits him so well.

@@baroque4days I like Super Sentai but I think Wild Force is a case where I much prefer the Power Rangers adaptation more

Thank you so much ^w^ Yeah you can absolutely use it but, please check the description as I linked a Google Drive to an improvement to the mix with what I believe to be the original sound they used for the flute dagger in the show. It's also 24bit 48kHz in a lossless format so no TH-cam compression. Here it is: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uHbpOo07hlvXj8Nr_KRCw8aYFdH9doR_ And also yeah, I am currently working on the music used during most of the ground battles with Zen-Aku, specifically the variant from Ep. 11 Battle of the Zords, and also the final battle with Ransik from End of Time Part 3 (Time Force). Will also be looking into remaking the Curse of the Wolf cue I uploaded here as that is very dated now and also currently doing a rewatch and taking lots of notes to map out the score of Lightspeed to see if I can figure out which bit of music relates to each demon. Might do one for each demon but for the most part, I want to kind of make a suite for Olympius, so that's something else you can look forward to.

@@baroque4days Oh, thanks a bunch for the response. There's a lot of music from Lightspeed Rescue I'd love to have, like the incidental music used when Ryan made his debut as the Titanium Ranger, among others. There's actually a lot of music from PR I'd love to have for videos so, I might have to DM you a list or something.

Do you have a Discord or Telegram at all? My username should be the same as my channel name on both. I'd love to discuss those with you.

@@ZeltraxMillennium Hey Zeltrax, just been working on more of the ground battle thing I mentioned. Wanted to drop you an invite as I've made a discord now for this whole project if you wanted to join. Basically just going to post work in progress clips, high quality mixes, share my process and progress. Good place to keep track and add suggestions. I'd love to have you: discord.gg/B7yegeE2

Recreated it all myself from scratch. Currently working on the final battle with Ransik from Time Force and the ground battle with Zen-Aku from EP. 11 (Battle of the Zords). Might actually extend that out and include the Dark Wild Zord scene too from that episode. But yeah I did this years ago, 2017 I think and reuploaded it again here. But yeah, it's all just remade by me so takes a huge amount of work to do. There are others on the channel so, have a look at that.

I'm glad we agree

I doubt they'd be able to legally but it would be wonderful. Still, I'm doing my best to keep on working on bits for this. Something from Time Force currently well into production.

I think for me it was how gentle he could be. I mean, this music speaks so much to his true nature, especially considering we know these are his own songs.

You're welcome. It has been a long time coming really for me to finally update the original version. If you are interested, the Predazord Awaken battle theme is getting an update soon so I'll upload that too when I'm done (later than the improvements I shared under the original video)

​@baroque4days That would be awesome to listen to! I wish you a blessed day, I really appreciate your work and effort. I will be sure to listen to the updated versions. Again, many thanks and have a wonderful day

Thanks for sticking around. I know you're one of the ones who used to comment a bit back when I originally did it. I'm going to be uploading an update to the Predazord Awaken battle theme too. It's later than the update I put under there recently (that was mostly just fixing some of the jank in the mix and replacing the flute at the start with the Roland XV-5080 one I used on this upload as well). The update I will upload should fix some other issues I had like some of the parts that should be French Horns being Trumpets. It was mainly because I didn't know much about the library I used at the time but, still using the same library, found a good way to get that incredible buzz sound on the horns just by playing with the mic positions so will see if I can fix that too and upload. I'll be sure not to include pictures this time and hopefully it won't get a copyright block.

​@@baroque4days That's super exciting to hear you'll be updating the Predazord theme as well! It's a real shame they never released an official soundtrack but so amazing to see you're perfecting these. Do you have any plans for yourmusic once you've finished with the Predazord?

@@nickslayr5077 The current one I have lined up is Ransik's Last Stand from The End of Time Part 3, basically everything from 8:48 to 15:51 th-cam.com/video/YqehUsD2iSU/w-d-xo.html which is actually really coming along quite well. The percussion isn't done yet but the brass, strings and choirs during the battle are done so making good progress. I want redo the Zen-Aku introduction bit from Curse of the Wolf. My original upload of it was quite old and the current upload is pretty compressed due to it being a copy of the video (I lost the project file for the music completely). I've got a really rough mix of the Level 1/5 theme from the PS1 Time Force game too using the original hardware that was used to make the music for that game, same hardware I used for this actually. Those Roland JD/JV/XP/XV boards were absolutely everywhere in the 90s/00s. I definitely want to do the Predazord battle theme we hear during the final battle with Zen-Aku during the main arc before Merrick is freed. The one I really, really want to remake though is the themes used for Prince Olympius. It's hard to really narrow down as a lot of the music doesn't really follow each character, but there are some themes which follow Olympius and some which follow Bansheera and maybe even Jinxer a little. Some of the music used during his battles too which have lots of quite eerie sounds, choirs slowly rising, cluster chords, heavy French Horn parts, that sort of thing. Not entirely sure why I like him as a character so much but, I do want to do something for him as he was the one along with Zen-Aku who kinda stuck with me all this time. Honestly, no idea why but yeah.

@@baroque4days Wow that'll be awesome to hear what you end up putting out. Obviously I'll be most excited for more Zen Aku content but I'm all here for anything else you put out. I think it's amazing you found the actual hardware they used for their soundfont cause you're really making the music authentic! Ransik's final battle will be sweet to hear! I need to revisit Time Force lol

@@nickslayr5077 I pretty much sold a lot of things and had the funds to get some gear. I did get an analogue synth from the late 70s which I ended up selling on again but I wanted one of those sound module, workstation, ROMpler, synths, whatever you want to call them. It was a choice between a Korg Triton and the Roland XV-5080. Ultimately I went with the Roland one as I knew it was basically packed full of sounds from my own childhood. A bunch of games I played used those sounds so it has been wonderful to just have them at the ready attached to a MIDI keyboard to play whenever I want. They're also reasonably cheap. The XV-5080 is more expensive now but some of the older arguably more famous models like the JV-1080 can be sold for only a couple hundred sometimes. In contrast, old Analogue synths often command 4-figure price tags. Funnily enough, whilst the Triton from Korg was another one I wanted, they did release a perfect recreation of the original Korg Triton, its expansions and the later Triton Extreme model as software which I got too. I actually might have found another sound used for some of the battle sequences with Zen-Aku in one of the drum kits. It is kind of like a breathy "Ah!" sound that plays. You can hear. If you watch at 14:14 in Battle of the Zords (th-cam.com/video/ulQgUNxZmy8/w-d-xo.html), you can hear it clearly at 14:24. So definitely another bit of the soundtrack I plan to remake and seem to have the original sound for.

Glad to be back? I guess I never left but just really didn't have the motivation to work on this stuff. Planning a Predazord Awaken battle theme update soon too and also I'm working on something special from Time Force.

I didn't know that episode existed as a kid. Was happy to find out later on he came back. 2:12 for that scene BTW. I tried to ease out the reverb there as he gets closer.

You liked the baroque stuff? I haven't really written in a strictly baroque manner in a good amount of time but the music I sort of write nowadays always his a lot of baroque inspired parts. My main issue with it was not being naturally fluent with counterpoint so it always felt as if I was fighting with myself to make things come together properly. Not only that but virtual instruments don't tend to capture the nuance of a lot of the best period performances very well. I was relying on some older obscure libraries for things like natural trumpets, theorbos, baroque timpani, baroque period oboe family, etc.

@@baroque4days yes i did! i remember that amazing piece you had that was unfinished which you have since privated. i used to have it on my playlist!

Was it the one with the scrolling score?

@@baroque4days yes i believe so

@@Nooticus I could always send you an export of the project. I never actually finished it but the version I had uploaded was a sort of demo that didn't end up going in that direction. I continued it a lot and whilst there are still gaps between the G Major statement of the theme and the earlier parts, the ending got extended a lot into a much better direction I think. How would be best to share?

I can't honestly remember which one I saw first. I want to say it was the Ancient Awakening VHS. Had that, the Lionheart VHS and then the Curse of the Wolf and Identity Crisis VHS tapes as well. Listening back to the original audio, definitely quite convinced the XV-5080 I'm using here was likely the same sound source they used, just with different reverb FX. Anyway, enjoy! I've added timestamps now.

I don't think I saw it. What was it?

@@baroque4days Wild Force Megazord soundtrack without sound effects.

@@lucaskyle102 Quite possibly, yeah. I plan on upgrading this one at some point to be a bit more accurate in terms of instrumentation. If I get that done, I should have the perfect orchestral template for Wild Force so could hopefully recreate the Wild Force Megazord theme without too much trouble. I'll certainly add it to the list. Got a whole bunch I'm starting to work on from Lightspeed, Time Force and Wild Force.
