Two listens.

I went into this sort of wanting to capture a sense of the area from the game in which this piece of music plays. The game came out at the right time to express the kind of authentic wonder and fascination with The Internet that it does, and I feel that this song conveys that. However, I let myself be thrown off by how short the song feels and so I what I wrote doesn’t do much in the way of anything.

Akari Kaida’s (海田明里) “Boundless Network” is from RockMan.EXE Game Music Complete Works: RockMan.EXE 1~3, (ロックマン エグゼ ゲーム音楽大全集 ロックマン エグゼ１～３). The soundtrack contains songs from both Akari Kaida and Yoshino Aoki (青木佳乃) that were composed for the first three Mega Man Battle Network (Rockman.EXE) games.

Edit: The title for the song I wrote about is actually “Boundless Network” and not “Running Through the Cyber World”, which is a different song. I knew that, and yet I use the wrong song name. Fixed now.

I hope you enjoy.

Sleek and smooth coolness moves along whilst beat and beeps underscore. Soon something akin to bass provides further support whilst another sound hums along. It all suddenly stops and what sounds continue emphasise this new moment. It’s as though the sounds are striking out, but they’re not, and this wonder with a sense of the future at the present carries through, as does the sense of motion.

It loops back and the sounds glide and slide, and they keep that sleekness intact, and then once more they return to their emphasised moment. The wonder is there; it remains in this new space, and it carries through its beeps as the song fades out and the song ends.
