    Mega Man Music Inspires TV Soundtracks

    The magic of Mega Man's infectiously great music continues to spread.  Sci-Fi composer extrordinaire Bear McCreary (the musical composer for such shows as Battlestar Galactica, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Eureka) recently revealed he is a huge Mega Man fan:  

    "I’ve actually used a lot of influence from Mega Man in the new season of Eureka. Listen in the first episode of season 3 and you’ll hear some blatantly obvious homages. I’ve introduced a lot of 8-bit NES and Gameboy sounds to my writing template, most of them sampled directly off the old hardware. It’s been a fascinating sound to play around with. I also pulled heavily from 16-bit systems, including the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis for some old-school FM synthesis. One of the things that makes Eureka so much fun is that I get to do this kind of experimentation."

    Pictured above are his harddrives, containing all the music he's ever created, each named after a Robot Master!
