This got an official CD release recently and I bought it just for the sake of supporting the industry, but I decided I preferred my old analog recordings over the 'remastered' ones. So here's my recording from a real NES.
A couple things to mention: first, I didn't let the map song play completely through once. Those familiar with this music know it's really long, anyways I faded it out about 45 seconds after the second 'change' (about 4:30). Next, I 'looped' the ending Star Spangled Banner theme. It may sound a little unnatural. Also, the opening song 'Old Nick' has some extra melody sounds and comes to a full stop on the CD version, whereas the one I had recorded from the game just repeated one short phrase over and over. I don't know if it's something the JP version has, but anyways only that track I took from the CD and used instead of my version. So only that track is not analog. No jingles, except for the level completion song. As always, I really tried to get the volumes on all tracks to match.
Lastly, I added some bonus tracks to this album. These are the songs from the other games on the Meldac CD I thought were worthwhile. They're labeled 'bonus 1, bonus 2' etc in the download. The tracks are: level 1 from Tenjin Kaisen, staff roll from Tenjin Kaisen 2, the 3 main level themes from Heiankyo Alien, and the arrange of level 1 from Heiankyo. Enjoy!
