44. The Trap Music Guide

What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the standard version of Robotech episode 44: "The Trap." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: I was expecting to hear some of "The Cosmic Harp" for the first time, and wasn't disappointed. What I didn't expect was to hear "The Hive" already, a piece usually associated with the Invid... and to have it also be used as Cosmic Harp music!

41. Half Moon Music Guide

What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the standard version of Robotech episode 41: "Half Moon." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: New music! "Shocked (a)" is used or the first time!

When General Emerson is mulling over that "one man's junk is another man's Protoculture" as the Bioroids are scavenging through the remains of the SDF-1, the music being played just happens to be "The SDF-1." And I'm confident it's just an amusing coincidence, since according to the liner notes its original title was "Military Fanfare." It's most likely that a) this music was picked because Emerson had just given the order to mobilize the troops and it's an upbeat militaristic piece, and b) this track was only renamed "The SDF-1" by the CD production staff due to it first being heard in the first episode "Booby Trap" where we see the repaired SDF-1 for the first time.

38. False Start Music Guide

What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the standard version of Robotech episode 38: "False Start." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: In this episode the Second Generation gets kicked-off properly with the expected heavy usage of "The 15th Squadron," as well as with the very surprising unexpected usage of a different piano version of "It's You."  Released on the It's You 25th Anniversary EP Preview, this version is known as "It's You (Piano Accompaniement)," and as you would expect by the title it's mostly the back-up harmonies intended to support the main melody. The only catch is there are two versions on the CD, "Take 1" and "Take 2," and they sound so similar I can't tell with 100% certainty which one is used! My best guess is Take 2, which sounds a little stronger than Take 1 and seems to match the closest. This is the second piece of background music used in the series that was released exclusively on the It's You EP (the first one being "It's You (Instrumental Version)" in episode #8, "Sweet Sixteen").
