Ok, not bad, but not quite the timeless, moving melody my choice has imo.

It's ok 5/10 (no offense). I hear hints of Kraftwerk:

Not bad but much lower energy and of course no tatas.

I'm not an emotional guy but when I hear Option 2 I...I get a lump in my throat and grit in my eye. Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Hey man, not the main theme but both are fine pieces. If you have to drive somewhere at night, maybe after it had rained so the streets are wet, and there's some street lights pulsing on as you roll by, and maybe you are strapped and remembering the girl you loved that some drug dealer destroyed, and you're fucking rolling... both songs work.

Those distinctive drums that you hear and the percussion were Synsonic drums which was a brand of electronic computer drums that was the first to come out.
They began to be featured everywhere in all kinds of popular music.

The irony is.... They were a toy drum set by Mattel that changed music forever.
