Instrumentation
Faltermeyer's 1986 synth + electric guitar lead, re-orchestrated for full session ensemble. Steve Stevens reprises the original guitar solo.
Listening notes
Re-recording of Harold Faltermeyer's 1986 theme using the original guitar performance approach. Steve Stevens (original guitarist) returned. Mixed to match the original 1986 carrier-deck sequence — a deliberate franchise-continuity choice.
