Wondering about the song GunMetal Action from Wild Arms 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfQ3A3MnKYs). It's the battle theme, but the whole game is basically desert, lol. So I'm wondering if it would fit?

Huuuuuum nah it doesn't fit,

I have been meaning to cover this for the longest time (and it's also a song no one has ever heard of, so that's a plus), but I highly doubt I'll get it done in time for any contest.

but just in case I do think about it...would this fit the theme...it's kinda more a beach...or an island...but there's a huge sweltering sun that occasionally burns stuff up

Man if you read the rules, it's written in big and black that you only can use new recording, and you ask if you can use something you put on soundcloud 23 days ago.
The answer is "no" nothing personal here.

This theme sounds quite cool! I would like to cover Departure from Megaman Zero 2. The song plays during the opening stage of the game called Sandy wilderness so I hope that it fits the theme. The song itself isn't something that I would personally relate to the theme based on how it sounds however. Is that a requirement or is it enough for the song to be just playing during a desert/wasteland style stage?

Korpikopan and I worked on Gustaberg from FFXI ^^

This is our entry for the "Pixel Mixers Desert and Dry Areas Cover contest". So we had to do this in hurry, Korpikopan did an amazing job with the synth/piano but sadly he didn't had the time to make the video except for his... KEYTAR SOLO !!! ^^
Also great thanks to Oliver Blenton who had to do the percussion track during the LAST NIGHT to be ready for the deadline =)
This song is played during the exploration of the 1st area of FF11 if you started as a citizen of the Republic of Bastok, it's different from most of the "desert themes" in VGM.
It's calm and relaxing and i tried to give it a folk/prog/ballad vibe with the arrangement.
