Info
This is another game by T&E Soft, so you know what that means: Ken Kojima’s back baby, we’re so back. Golf games are one of the things that T&E is better known for, publishing a number of them for PC and console platforms in the ’90s. They all have pretty chill, jazzy soundtracks (which may or may not have been plagiarized…), which you’d probably expect from a golf game, though this is the only one that Kojima himself worked on as far as I can tell.
Obviously this soundtrack is stylistically quite different from Red Alarm, though the sound programmer is the same so you’ll hear a lot of the same instrumental programming, particularly noticeable in the drum samples. Some of the tracks also have weird chord changes or otherwise strange bits of writing to remind you that you’re listening to a Ken Kojima soundtrack, but for the most part this does just sound like golf music.
Recommended tracks:
-
“Title Screen” has the crunchiest, most Red Alarm-esque dissonant chord at 0:42
-
“Main Menu” has a chippy layer doing guitar strums, which sounds pretty fun
-
“Course Theme” has the jazziest chords of the soundtrack
