We Are Rock-Men! Samples Surface

For your listening pleasure, E-Capcom has posted four sample tracks from the Rock-Men sound unit's latest album, "We Are Rock-Men!" The four previews consist of newly arranged versions of Armored Armadillo's stage (Mega Man X), Mega Man 3's end credits, Dark Man's stage (Mega Man 5), and Flash Man's stage (Mega Man 2).

Additionally, E-Capcom has revealed the titles of album's seventeen tracks, viewable here. Majority of the disc covers tunes from the classic series, but you'll also find some pieces from the X series as well. Surprisingly, there's a Rockman DASH tune in there too; Flutter vs. Gesellschaft. No sample for that one, I'm afraid, but based on what we've heard so far, you can count on a lovely arrangement.

We Are Rock-Men is due on September 21 in Japan, pirced at 21,00 Yen (roughly $27.29). Unlikelky the album will come stateside, so keep an eye out on for the inevitable rip to appear on YouTube.

Thanks for the tip, Jimb0!

  3. Damn, these samples are really good!Even the Flash Man remix is sounding pretty good and I've just about had enough of all the remixes from that game. I'm glad they're showing love to the other Mega Man games. It's too bad there are no remixes for Mega Man 4 in it.

  4. Flutter vs. The Gessellschaft?!

    Glad to see they haven't forgotten the series. ♥

  5. I'd like to point out that the track listed as 'Ending' from Rockman 3 isn't the 'End Credits' theme, It is the 'Protoman/Blues' theme', or 'Ending' as for 'Ending Scene' or 'Epilogue'. Because, well, the ending credits for Rockman 3 have a totally different tune:

    I know, it may be something totally stupid to point out, but I wanted to spit it out. :B

  6. I really don't get why people love Flutter VS Gessellshaft. I don't think it's a bad song at all, but pick something different already, geez

  7. The Rockman 3 Ending is quite possibly one of the greatest arranged tracks I have ever heard. Hands down. Wow.

  8. I can't hear the DarkMan song. Every other song loads except that one.

    What gives?

    If you look at the source for that frame you can find the mp3 urls. I'd do it myself, but I'm on my phone. I'll post the link when I get home unless someone else gets to it.

  11. Those are some awesome remixes. I'm especially impressed by the Proto Man remix, since it sounds just as good as the original.

  12. The Rockman 3 ending track sounds great. I had high hopes for the Darkman stage track, but they completely turned it around and I don't like it much as a remix of the original. The others are alright.
    Would be interesting to hear their cutman remix track, since the original is such a short theme.
