Ever since my best friend did a Fast Tracker II cover of this song I wanted to make something of it myself. Somehow it got away among other remix the last few years. Well, it has come to the point where it just can't be ignored and unprioritized since I'm making ALL of Mega Man 2's themes! And did I have a blast writing Wood Man, it's so freakin' good!
During the intro when all drums come in was having "It's A Sin" by Pet Shop Boys in mind for some reason. I guess it's the sound of that song and some of its atmosphere I was looking for to achieve. And of course, it was released in 1987, one of the 80s peak years of music.
When the original Wood Man's theme initiates I just kept some of that atmosphere and went on with the unparalleled theme I think so highly of. Wood Man's theme is a reeeaaal banger.
Now, my contribution and extension of this great theme comes in at 0:58. And I had two clear inspirations for this section: "Playing With The Boys" by Kenny Loggins from "Top Gun", oh I love this one so much. One of my choices of the best piece of 80s music. The energy, atmosphere and soundscape are perfect and sooo 80s, just love it and I listen to it a lot. The next inspiration for this was the theme of "Toad Harbor" from Mario Kart 8. I remixed it some time ago and just love that theme (makes me kinda sad I couldn't get a license for Spotify/Apple Music and so on for it).
At 1:19 before part of the intro kicks in again, there is a short section (also used as outro but different chords) that very straight sounds like a section from "Playing With The Boys". If you know that song this might sound very familiar, but I thought it fitted here very well.
0:00 - Wood Man theme based intro
0:26 - Wood Man theme
0:58 - Neon X section 1
1:24 - Wood Man theme based intro (partly)
1:35 - Wood Man theme
2:07 - Neon X section 2 outro

I clicked on this just for the artwork.
This knocked my rear-view mirror off my windshield. 11/10 would jam again!
Thanks man! I really appreciate your comment :D You take care of your rear view mirror ;)
The design in the picture is interesting. It’s X’s design, but with Rock’s helmet ridges instead of X’s gem, but it has the light-blue highlights on the front like X. Almost like it’s an alpha build of X’s base armor.
Yeah it's because I'm using Midjourney to prompt the art :) But your analysis is quite interesting!
Probably a what if Classic mega man becomes X
@@akiro7640Although word of Capcom is that Rock and X are separate characters.

Yeah I know but what I said is just a what if(au)
This and Dr. Wiley stage 1 are my two favorite themes from this game, you did an excellent job here!
Thank you very much! Those two themes are magical!
Your Monkey Paw / Devil Fruit / Whatever magic you use to constantly crank out these bangers is simply fantastic. Every song/bgm you touch is golden to my ears.
Thank you man! Really appreciate that!
Another absolute banger as always, looking forward to the next one!
Thanks a lot mate! Air Man's theme is currently in the making :)
A splendid remix of my favorite track from Mega Man 2. I love video game music so much.
Loving the approach this time on MM2. Still waiting for Airman. Hehe
Thank you! Air Man is very close 🥳😍
Noiceee. Looking forward to it! 💪💪
LEGIT FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - 🔥 Your mixes are always delightful, As a diehard MM fan, the music has permeated my soul since I was a weeeee laddy, You do a great job with these, keep up the good work my friend! From one musician to another (The key signature shift at "2:07" Is a really dope movement... rock on....very cool outro! 🤓🤩
Thank you very much! I have a really good time creating these remixes :) Thanks for mentioning the key shift! It's one chord progression of many variations that contains some kind of key sign change, love it!
Thats some awesome art
Love the energy
Yo that's such a cult classic!
Amazing job on the remix!
Oh thank you man! Yeah Wood Man is a true classic tune!
