It was only used complete in the TV series three times (and Narration introduces the cast, "Cliffhangers (d)" is used, which is In one of the new clips where the image is frozen as Lancer's.So while it isn't really new music, it gives that odd mash-up a little more validity for now having been used onscreen that way. The new animation segment showing Lance Belmont and Yellow Squadron going into battle features the "Enemy Attack/(Confrontation)/Resolve" edit as used on the 1996 Robotech Perfect Soundtrack (but without the Resolve portion.The opening scenes are the only new music actually used in the animation, so the two tracks Robotech Main Theme (Love Live Alive version) and Zentraedi Theme (Love Live Alive version) on the 30th Anniversary Soundtrack make the soundtrack complete as far as this sequel is concerned.It is included on the 30th Anniversary Soundtrack as part of the Sentinels music, two tracks before the Robotech: Love Live Alive music. So while it never made it into any of the animation, it is technically new music. The DVD menu loops the beginning guitar portion of " Deep Space Swagger," an unused piece of Sentinels music. Still, there's some interesting points worth mentioning: This is another reason why some music may have been changed, but since I'm not taking my usual fine-toothed comb to it then it may have slipped past me I mention this because I've set this guide up using the Now, to be completely fair I must confess that I only watched it in full the first time when it came out in 2013, and on this rewatch I just watched anything that seemed to have the slightest bit of something new in it and skimmed over the obvious clip show parts.Īlso along those lines, the TV footage used here is (understandably) from the Remastered All of the scenes where I remembered any music that was used in the original at all was exactly the same here. I'm not going to do a full write-up for Robotech: Love Live Alive, since the vast majority of it is simply a clip show from Robotech's final 23 episodes, 6 of which I just rewatched this week. The most times any Robotech episode used it before was three. This episode also used Alien Attack four times, which is a new record. It's common for musical cues to be incomplete, but the two episodes on this video are the only time it's been done for the opening and closing credits. It's also worth noting that both the opening and closing credits are faded in and out, technically making the music on them incomplete. I've again picked episode titles from Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years to serve as song titles for the Harlock tracks. Of those, two of the Harlock tracks are new to Robotech, and one of the Sentinels tracks is completely new and never heard anywhere before. It uses 9 Robotech tracks, 4 Sentinels tracks, and 4 Harlock tracks. What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the Matchbox video Robotech Wars episode 1: "To the Ends of the Universe." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.ĪDDITIONAL NOTES: Just like Robotech II: The Sentinels and Robotech: The Movie, Robotech Wars is a musical free-for-all, drawing on music written for Robotech, Sentinels, and Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years. Zentraedi Stomp - unreleased (Sentinels?) While the lead synthesizer sounds like it could be either Sentinels or Harlock, I'm presuming it's from the Sentinels because it has a similar sound to the percussion and various other synthesizer sounds used in it that the other Sentinels tracks use. "Expeditionary Briefing" is used for the scenes where Exedore is giving his reports, a slowed-down version of "The Young Warriors" is used for when Rick is setting Minmei and Kyle free form Khyron's cage, and a new piece is used for the scene recounting the battle from Episode 2 "Countdown," where the wounded Zentraedi soldier rises out of his damaged battlepod and starts stomping towards Rick and Minmei in the VF-1D. The big exceptions to these are where some Sentinels music has been brought in. There are a few changes, but most of them are in the spirit of the original versions and don't bring in any new music. As a result a lot of the music tracks from the original scenes are left the same. What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the Matchbox video Robotech Wars episode 2: "Battle Royale." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.ĪDDITIONAL NOTES: Where "To the End of the Universe" farmed old footage and completely rearranged it with completly new dialogue to make an all new story, "Battle Royale" is more of a direct clip show, stitching together battle scenes from the first three and last nine episodes of the Macross Saga (with many scenes keeping the same dialogue), under the frame work of one of Exedore's briefings to Gloval and crew.
