"Cowboy in Town" from Gunman Clive on the Nintendo 3DS (2013)
Composer: Arne Hörberg
Record Label: Self Released on Bandcamp
Developer: Hörberg Productions
I really like this song. Ever since I first played the game two years ago (2013), I thought, "Damn, this a great song!" It's got that Ennio Morricone feel to it, or at least I think it does as I have yet to actually see Once Upon a Time in the West or The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. However, not having seen (many of the) classic westerns, I feel the music still conjures similar feelings as to how music in this type of a world/setting should sound.
Granted it's not the most raucous tune to play along with a side scrolling shooter, but it's not overpowering, but it works perfectly in how it's used. In-game, all of the songs continuously play when you die and return to the beginning of the stage, which is great in keeping the flow of the game going. By itself, it's a great song with western flair with perhaps a slight hint of Manami Mastumae's Mega Man 2 score, but that just might be the game play influencing how I listen to the music, both in and out of the game.
And pick up the soundtrack if this one song is of interest to you as the entire album is only $1 for just under 20 minutes worth of music, available over on Arne Hörberg's bandcamp page.
