What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the standard version of Robotech episode 85: "Symphony of Light." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
When "Red Alert" is used for the final time at the 12:50 point (in the scene where the decision is made to launch the Neutron S missiles) the track is very sped up. I've always found this to be very jarring no matter how many times I've seen this episode. The music cues are often sped up or slowed down to better fit the scene or convey the mood, but it's usually very slight and not noticeable, and after hearing this piece 81 times over all 85 episodes to hear it so radically altered always throws me. I assume their goal was to to ramp up the tension for such a climactic scene; whether it was successful or not I leave up to the individual viewer.
And so we come to the end. Robotech closes on a new song, "The Way to Love (Yellow Dancer version)," which is fitting for a series so tied to music. It's a third-person love song, which works well with Yellow Dancer having just revealed she's really Lancer to the audience, and it's also a cover of a Minmei song, although we wouldn't realize it until a couple of years later.
For more on that, be sure to tune in tomorrow... Robotech may be over, but the Robotech Perfect Memory Soundtrack Project hasn't reached the end quite yet!
