Is it the song that plays when Goku tells Gohan to stop being so hard on himself? I think I know the name of it. Part of it played just before Goku went SSJ1 against Android 19.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Damn, I can't remember. I can recall another time when it played, though... It's when Goku's telling Gohan that it's up to him to defeat Cell and bring peace to the universe and all that.

Yeah, there you go. That's the one I was talking about. I always thought that theme was Goku's, though, lol.

Oh, I totally forgot about that song. Love it.



Anyways, my favourites are "Ginyu Force Theme", "Ginyu Transformation", "Super Saiyan 3 Theme", "Super Saiyan Vegeta Theme" and "Dark Calm" (which is unreleased). There are probably more like that other one above that I've forgotten throughout the years though.

Pikk0n's theme is made of win.
As is Super Buu.
I think I've become a little disenchanted with the SSJ3 transformation just because of how popular and thus, used it is. Though I recall that one year (Ur, some time in the past three or four...), I had it played on New Years Eve so that the climax would happen at exactly midnight.

Mr.Morgan, is it true Funi told you Trunks was evil when you were asked to compose music for his scenes? The track name "Trunks Stews" reminded me of that and I just wanted to see if it was true.

Erm, I'm pretty sure the closest thing we have is Wasted Wisher who works for an animation team that produces Japanese DBZ material.

I worked at Faulconer Productions Music\CakeMix Recording which was hired by Funimation to do music for DBZ.

Yeah Funi told us Trunks was a bad guy when we weren't making the music edgy enough for them.

Wow, thanks for confirming that. I wish they wouldn't have blatantly lied to you guys, I mean you guys probably didn't care it just seems odd.

A couple of things...

Anybody know where I can here the extended cut of "Guru's Theme"? Everytime I go to Youtube the only version that's available is the 1 minute and something seconds version.

Secondly, I forgive FUNi for thinking that Trunks was a bad guy, because the music that plays as he's turning into a SSJ against Freeza kicks ass anyway. :wink:

Lastly, @CrookieMonster, I love the work that was done during the second half of "Spirit Bomb". One of the reasons it's my favorite theme is in fact because of the work you did. Those were some awesome, epic tunes right there.

FUNi know Trunks is a good guy but they tricked them by saying Trunks is a bad guy.

Well that's what they told us, whether we believed it is a different story ;)

Still, we had to deliver what the customer wanted, so Destruction replaced Heroic Trunks basically.

It's a tough decision. xD I like so many of the Bruce Faulconer tracks used in DBZ. Hm.... I guess I'll list my favorite released ones, then my favorite unreleased ones.

Released
1.) The Dragon Theme
2.) Androids Extended (Most fans view it as Dr. Gero's theme)
3.) Imperfect Cell Theme
4.) Ginyu Transformation
5.) New Earth Music
6.) Super Buu
7.) Sage Music
8.) Goku's Spirit Bomb
9.) Guru's Theme
10.) Gohan Angers 1 & 2

Unreleased
1.) Frieza's Theme
2.) Frieza/Ginyu Beat
3.) Vegeta Kills 19
4.) Cell Absorbs (and the creepy extended remix that played as Cell threw up Android 18)
5.) Eerie Suspense (Although A very small part of it was released on the android compendium)
6.) Devastation (bit and parts of it were cut up and released on different tracks, but the whole track by itself was unreleased)
7.) Vegeta's Death (Sadness Theme)
8.) Perfect Cell's Theme (remixed and with guitar)
9.) Vegeta Attacks Super Perfect Cell (SSJ Vegeta Theme Extended)
10.) Perfect Cell Vs SSJ Goku (Taking It To The Air)
My Youtube account (Coycoy88)

I primarily rip and upload unreleased Faulconer Productions music, as well as some other American dub music.

Oh yeah, I love the sadness theme too(Fallen Prince\Dark Prince ending is based on it). That actually connects with the...err...dangit I dunno what the fans call it. All those really old tracks really run together as written, they didn't have names.
