Notes:

Most people don't know that he composed for other games outside the Dragon Quest series, most of which haven't been given a proper re-release on CD or digitally.
Here, I compiled some classical or classical-sounding music from three really fascinating albums, whose original games are rather interesting as well (and refreshing to listen something other than another Dragon Quest arrangement, though that not bad either.)
Starting with the music from a Science Fiction NES "game's name refers to a space station called J.E.S.U.S., named after the Christian messiah Jesus and the ship is shaped like a double-edged sword a la Book of Revelation" quoted from Wikipedia, but does not try in way to convert you to a new religionL J.E.S.U.S.: Fear Of The Bio-Monster Suite. It sounds very much like Sugimaya's earlier anime scores and somewhat jazzy in some places of the music, such as the first track; cool nonetheless.
The next round of music comes of arranged music from an album from an unauthorized Monopoly video game from Enix before Hasbro put out restraining orders on the video game, the String Quartet for Monopoly in Six Parts. It sounds very much like music you'd hear in a salon or an business office reception area and very fun, especially in the third part.
The last section of this completion comes from a very obscure second entry in the Hanjuku aka Soft-Boiled Hero series and from an equally one-time release album, the Suite for Divertimento Soft-Boiled Hero in Four Scenes. These last four tracks very much are quoting other famous classical music pieces, such as Scherzando, a spin on Scheherazade.

Quality wise, not in flac, but in MP3 with bitrates approximately between 128~190, just barely good for a listen.


I hope you'll enjoyed this as much I have. Thanks are always in order.
