Dr Future - ACE 2 (Danger Zone Edit)
When watching Top Gun – Maverick
in cinema I realized again how definitive 80s Danger Zone
by Kenny Loggins is. Great track. When driving home after this great movie, I still whistled the tune and out of a sudden, Rob Hubbard’s ACE II
came into my mind. I immediately thought that there are similarities, i. e. the bass, the hook, the solo. So 1 week later, ACE II (Danger Zone Edit) feat. Maverick
was rendered out of my DAW. I hope you like it.
Weeks later I read STIL and realized that it was by purpose that ACE II sounded like Danger Zone

Danger Zonefrom Top Gun laid over the melody and chord structure of Ace 2! Complete with syrupy lyrics! And that guitar solo!… If I may, the only gripe I have here is that the flow of the lyrics doesn't always match the rhythm of the tune (
highway into to danger, highway into hell,
it's your job and you're the man,
this is why we're here baby and let's gooo,
let's fly for glory, etc.) - it feels clunky and unnatural in those spots. (For example, I don't think a native English speaker would ever sing
glorywith a short
oand a long
y.)

E-Bass 1on the original track) really kicked ass and should've been used here to give the track the necassary bite. But this is just nitpicking and a matter of taste because the whole track is just plain awesome - starting form your first idea to the final product. Had great fun listening to it and excatly that's what matters. 😊
