City At War - 2003 Series

~~Ninja Turtles 25 Years~~ · 01-30-2011, 05:17 AM

What is the name of that really cool song at the beginning of the City At War Part 1 episode from the 2003 series? I want to try to download it rather than extracting it off the DVD and making an MP3 out of it.

"Midnight Run" was available in full from iTunes and Amazon digital downloads at one point.

I had a hunch it was called "Midnight Run." I did try to do a search on iTunes, and got results that when I played a demo, those songs were awful. Maybe this will help narrow it down. Who performed "Midnight Run" from City At War (1)? This maybe risky for me to say, but do you think maybe one of those downloading managers like FrostWire (LimeWire is gone and so is Morpheus)?

Thank you for the URL. I downloaded the YouTube clip, and now have the MP3 for it.

It was a song created only for that episode by 4kids....just like the other song in the episoed with April and the turtles in the insect jungle. I tried to find the artist too, but in the end I just downloaded by the youtube

They really went out of their way for the City at War Story-arc. Those episodes were amazing.

Well I trust the YouTube link provided above, because the song is a minute, 40, but when I extracted it off my DVD copy, it's 1:20. So I think it's a full song, even though it does have Leonardo and Raphael speaking in the background. Either way, a 1:40 song is better than my 1:20 clip.

Oh yes, "April's Artifact" song. It's funny, I watched the entire 2003 series last week, and I don't remember a thing about "April's Artifact" song. I do remember in the past not liking it as much as "Midnight Run."

yeah, it wasnt that good as midnight run....somewhat boring I would say

Both were horrible and completely out of place. Especially in the context of "City At War". Set the bar for disappointment. That whole arc really didn't live up to it's full potential. COW should have been a season long story arc that was re-visited every couple of episodes with a huge finale at the end. It should have been a setting for a season instead of a weak 3 episode arc that barely grazed the surface of the original story, a story that changed the turtles lives forever. Lost too much punch and it wasn't censorship just poor writing.

I didn't care much for that song, either (cheesy fake rock music like that belongs in Scooby-Doo and not TMNT).

Funny trivia: It was edited out of the Japanese broadcast of the series and replaced with a more appropriate, completely original instrumental song.

The Japanese dub of the 4Kids series wasn't especially great, but at least they had the foresight to get rid of that stupid song.

*Spitfire* · 01-31-2011, 03:49 PM

That's hilarious because didn't they release a CD in Japan with that song on it?

Wildgoose · 02-01-2011, 04:42 AM

Still I liked the japanese op....I think it was better than the original 2k3 op....

~~Ninja Turtles 25 Years~~ · 02-03-2011, 09:36 AM

Amazing on how a forum topic changes and stays changed. First I was only curious about that opening music in City at War (1), and now we're talking about the Japanese.

*Candy Kappa* · 02-03-2011, 10:08 AM

re-hearing the song, it really do not fit CaW.

*sdp* · 02-03-2011, 12:16 PM

Well since the topic is about the 2k3 songs, is there a clean version of what I call "TMNT theme"? It was first used in Fast Forward then in BTTS and at the end of Turtles Forever with the Mirage Turtles and for the promo for the turtles forever movie, here is the best version I could find:

Also was a BGM or OST ever released even unofficially? I'd love to hear some themes separately like april's theme and shredders and the foot elite etc.
