Phils Game/Pop Music Similarities #251 - Mighty Morphing Moth Range

Featuring Mega Man X2 and electronic music / blues.

Greetings fellow game music lovers,

for closure of this Mega Man series, a few entries for X. We'll start with the second game of the bunch from 1994 and the beginning of the stage theme from Morph Moth ( Fun fact: You can attack him in his coccoon form for easy hits):

Again this is a note sequence that is pretty common in the dystopian electronic music of the day. Some examples:

Club House - "I'm a Man - Yeke Yeke" (1988):

Shizuka Kudo - "Unbeliever" (1990):

 

I cannot rule out that it goes back to an old blues grip:

Jimmy Yancey - "Beezum Blues" (1954):

"La Salle Street Breakdown":

Next week more Mega Man X!

Phil out.
