9. Miss Macross Music Guide

What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the standard version of Robotech episode 9: "Miss Macross." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:The Macross Theme Intro is still melded with the Macross Theme to create the track Macross Anthem on the Robotech 30th Anniversary Soundtrack CD release. This was done  to reflect the way the two tracks were used together in the original vocal version of the theme song for Harmony Gold's original 1984 "Macross Volume 1 Booby Trap" video cassette release. Which is completely understandable and sounds very nice, even though it does make creating a Perfect Memory soundtrack a bit of a problem.

However, the "Miss Macross" episode itself does contain a clean ending for the Macross Theme Intro with no dialogue or sound effects over top of it. So if someone were so inclined, you could sample that from the episode, cut off everything but the last note, increase the speed of that note by 5% to match the speed of the track on the soundtrack, cut off the Macross Theme (main) from the Macross Anthem track, then overlay the last notes together to have a complete, clean version of Macross Theme Intro.  If, y'know, you were so inclined.

And although it still hasn't appeared in Robotech yet, the main Macross Theme without the intro was released on the Robotech BGM Vol. 1 LP and Robotech Perfect Collection CD by US Renditions in the late 80's.

2. Countdown Music Guide

What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the standard version of Robotech episode 2: "Countdown." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.

UPDATE - ADDITIONAL NOTES: I was never entirely confident about which "Cliffhangers" segment was used in the scene where Gloval muses "We're not ready for combat. we're just not ready!" When I first made this post I put it as "Cliffhangers (b)" but with a note that I wasn't entirely sure. The problem is it's just one note. Now granted that note is using multiple instruments, but that still made it very hard to identify. So when I finished making the blog list for "To The Stars" I figured it would give it one more listen before I put the DVD set away, now that I've had a little more experience identifying these tracks.

It was still a challenge, but I can now confidently Name That Tune as "Cliffhangers (d)," with the pitch increased by 1 semitone!

CORRECTION: When I first published this list, I mistakenly listed "Showdown" as a second usage of "Catastrophe." Correcting this moves "Showdown" from the 24th piece of music up to the 7th. Whoops! Sorry about that, Chief. ;)
