This is it - I tried my best to pull out the definitive version of this kick-ass soundtrack. Not only it is one of the most memorable and eccentric OSTs I have ever heard, but it is possibly Masafumi Takada's best work to date. Unfortunately, a proper complete release doesn't exist. Even the promo disc that came with the Japanese version of the game excluded most of the tracks, even some of the better ones, and the tracks present sometimes finished playing too early, where not long enough or had no loop at all. With this release, I tried to make every single track count, everything was looped when it needed to, and when a track was long and developed surpassing the 3 minute mark, I gave it only a 10 minute smooth fade. Very minor pops and click were removed for a better listening experience. The quality is the highest you can get from the game itself, which sounded extremely good. I extracted, converted and edited the 48khz ADX files and converted them all in FLAC for better convenience. The tracks are all split according to the Jukebox Discs List found in the game. I also made 2 custom cover arts just for fun. Enjoy and don't forget... DRAGON KICK YOUR ASS INTO THE MILKY WAY!!!

Bro i fucking love you, thanks for this rip

This...is...AMAZING! I still remember watching some random youtuber playing a game with his personal playlist on, when this out-of-this-world track started playing. I looked up the soundtrack it came from and, like yourself, got sucked into the zaniness that is God Hand. Thank you so very much for presenting this complete score in lossless quality with proper loops and fade-outs; I've just had a quick listen and it sounds awesome.

If I could just point out a couple of things, though. There are three tracks from the promo missing on your version: "Anthem of SATAN", "Handsome Dynamite (RX-Ver.S.P.)" and "The HORROR". "Anthem of SATAN" is pretty much just an abridged version of "Anthem Of Angra", so no loss there. Also, although it's labelled as a remix, "Handsome Dynamite (RX-Ver.S.P.)" is barely different from the normal version so I'm not surprised you left it out. However, "The HORROR" doesn't really have another equivalent and I'm surprised you left it out. I'm not sure if it's exclusion was a deliberate choice or an oversight, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts about it.

Now, your version of "Nippy Dog"...oh boy. I love this track. The version I had was only two minutes long for some reason, so I didn't know that there was an extended version! That extra guitar bit in the first half is awesome! If I could point out something though, and maybe it's just me, but the track seems to start a fraction of a second late; it feels like it's missing part of the first "hit".

But anyways, that's enough griping from an over-analyst like me. I absolutely adore people who pay this much attention to scores and are willing to fine-tune it to get the absolute best out of it. I love your covers too! The promo cover was pretty bland and uninteresting, so it's just icing on the cake that you've provided some great custom covers. Here's some crappy artwork that I made, if people want more options (the last one on the right is the official promo art...see what I mean about bland?).

Again, thank you so much for this upload! Like and rep from me, definitely!

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you very much GlassButterflies :) Glad my dedication was appreciated, that was what I was aiming for, a purist sort-of release.

Now, as for the things you noted, those were concerns for me too at first. But in the end, my release is a complete GAME RIP so it was all I could get from the game itself. The other tracks are found only in the Promo release, and I didn't have a lossless version of those. On the bright side, we aren't missing anything important, and the quality of the audio from the game is pretty much lossless itself, with some of the tracks like "Nippy Dog" being complete unlike in the promo (as you mentioned).

Also, the start of "Nippy Dog" bugged me as well. I thought there was something wrong with my file, but if you can play the game or see videos of the boss fights where the track plays, you can hear that that's how it is in the game. I tried to soften very very little the millisecond that it starts, so it doesn't feel that abrupt.

Btw, funny that you didn't notice about some of the loops. You see, many tracks particularly in the C DISK aren't looped because they were intended for a single play, they are quite developed tracks that mark 3 minutes minimum (4 to approx. 5 at max) as they are. On the other (god) hand there is "Devil May Sly" "Duel Storm" "Anthem of Angra" that are played during the most important and longest fights; I thought it was fitting for them to have a loop, even though two of them are at almost 3 minute mark. Anyway, I didn't take much liberties, I structured every track so the listening could be as abundant as possible.

Thank you again, and hope ya all can support me with any of my future releases :)

Oh I have waited so long for something like this. You sir, are a hero. This is the best OST this year for me next to the BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma OST. May god power keep your pimp hand strong!

thank you very much bro! Love the game and the music!

Thank you very much for this!

I'm finding I'm having trouble opening the files though. I'm assuming I need to take off the .001 and .002 from the filenames and then unzip, but when I try I get the message the files are corrupted?

I'm sure I'm missing a crucial step here - any tips?

No, all files are separated, nothing to rename, just extract with 7 zip tools, unzip is crap.

Aah, thank you :D

:-)

Do you have an issue with the links? I checked and they seem to be up.

Thanx

Thx!!!!
