"Unused Track" from Silent Service on the Nintendo Entertainment System (1989)
Composer: David Wise
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Rare
If you have ever played or watched someone play through Silent Service on the NES, you will have noticed that there is very little music in the game. There is the opening title track, then there is a Morse Code inspired ditty when you are entering your name at the end of a mission. That is it. On the NES cart however, there are nine unused compositions by Rare's David Wise.
After listening to all of the unused tracks, something about this unused track stuck out to me as the most interesting. There are really only two sections in the song. There is the intro which is really what drew me in, and then at 0:18 where it gets kinda Baroque-y and may not be out of place in a either a Castlevania or Shadowgate game, to how well the song loops back in on itself, it is interesting to realize that the whole song is only 30 seconds long.
That is really all I can and have to say about this song. It is a song that a lot of people who have played Silent Service may not have heard, and we are all about sharing good music here.
