Hey Power Rangers fans!

We brought this to you yesterday and since then Ron Wasserman has included another classic track in redux format!

Combat is now available for listen! It is important to note – THESE ARE NOT FINISHED SONGS. Most need mixing, or in the case of “Combat”, it needs the lead guitar. But this is a rare chance to catch early versions of your favorite songs being re-done, so head on over and take a listen!

Ron Wasserman’s Power Rangers Classic Songs Redux.

May the power protect you!

After a successful and fun trip down memory lane with Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Dairanger, and Kamen Rider Ryuki, our Let’s Watch Wednesday begins a new (on a Thursday!) with two older Tokusatsu shows to watch – Chōjin Sentai Jetman and Kamen Rider W!

Chōjin Sentai Jetman[/u]
When the interdimensional organization Vyram attacks the Earth Ship developing superhero powers known as Birdonic Waves, the powers of the Birdonic Waves are sent spiraling to the Earth, being infused with four random civilians. It is up to Ryu Tendoh, the Red Hawk, to locate the four civilians and unite them together to stop Vyram, becoming Chōjin Sentai Jetman!

Kamen Rider W or Kamen Rider Double[/u]
From Wikipedia:
The Sonozaki Family sell mysterious devices resembling USB flash drives called Gaia Memories to criminals and other interested parties who use them to become monsters called Dopants, committing crimes with the police force powerless to stop them. After the death of his boss, the self-proclaimed hardboiled (actually half-boiled) detective Shotaro Hidari works with the mysterious Philip, who possesses the true Gaia Memory, to investigate crimes which involve Dopants. Using their own Gaia Memories, Shotaro and Philip use the Double Driver belts to transform and combine into Kamen Rider Double.

Get ready for a blast of nostalgia! This week we’re watching the following episodes!

Hey Power Rangers fans!

If you don’t know who Ron Wasserman is, allow us to educate you for a moment. If you watched the entirety of the 3 season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and found yourself nodding your head to the beats of some of the songs, including the theme song, then you’re a fan of Ron Wasserman as he was the composer of all that juicy 1993 goodness.

Recently at Power Morphicon 3, Ron Wasserman announced that he was doing a “redux” on some of his favorite songs – not for any official reason, just because the songs are 19 years old now and he wanted to go back and “redux” them. He has since posted some samplings of the tracks (although very rough, no special effects, no mixing, all straight from the board) for all of us to enjoy.

Enjoy the samplings of the classic songs – 5-4-1, Fight, We Need a Hero, and I Will Win … as long as the beginning of his redux version of the longer version of Go Go Power Rangers.

Click here to check out the work-in-progress of your classic Power Rangers songs! Thanks to TokuNation.com user WhiteRanger for the heads up!
