Thanks

Cinematic score?

Thanks
You're welcome.

Cinematic score?
Yep. This is the music used in the cutscenes, it took more than twenty years, but we finally have something.

God, finally !! Thanks Leon

God, finally !! Thanks Leon
No need to thank me, really, I'm just giving this thing a bit more visibility. The album has been released not too long ago and is downloadable for free; I'll add the lossless version as soon as they release it.

After 20 long and inpatient years, the score to one of the most cinematic video games ever created finally comes out into the public. Thank you good sir:D

There is actually someone who is slowly but surely re-composing all the cinematic music from the game. Even though the real thing has been released, I would highly check out his YouTube and Soundcloud on a few of recently fan re-creations of the soundtrack which I gotta really captures the intensity and spirit of MGS. I created a forum about it last month which you can check it out for yourselves here (Thread 235484)

Wait… Vincent? That's the name of the guy who released this thing. That means there's a chance this is not an official release of the score, but as close to it as we can get at this point. Goddammit, I'm sorry, folks.
I've been fooled by my friend's excitement; I tried to rip both the PlayStation release and the PC port (both of which I legally own) years ago… Voices and sound effects were mixed with the music.
Sorry again, it has been a mistake in good faith.

EDIT:
Still, the track titles come from Gigi Meroni (according to what Vincent/RedCode Interactive have written), so… I don't know, is this the official score, or an "officially recognized" reconstruction of it?

From what I gathered recently, it looks like Vincent was in support of a actual album release of the game's score beside re-composing the cues himself. He actually signed a petition on change.org (https://www.change.org/p/konami-to-konami-release-the-score-cutscenes-musics-of-metal-gear-solid-1?recruiter=962775002&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition) to show is his interest in the release to the fanbase. It eventually reached Gigi Meroni himself and he and RedCode Interactive worked on making it a reality.

As far as the information goes, Vincent was the catalysis for the release to happen and did some fan-re-creations of the game's score to promote it. The music in the album is directly from Meroni himself and but published by RedCode Interactive on their Facebook page. Just hope Vincent can still continue his fan-made projects to MGS since the soundtrack is missing a few important cues but best not to look at a gift horse in the mouth as the saying goes. Very grateful that the game's score was officially released for the whole world to hear once more. Meroni could have rejected the idea and give the fandom a middle finger but did so willingly so that his work would possibly inspire future media composers out there to continue on following their dream along with keeping synthesizer style music alive and well into the near future. Yet the real credit for the release of the game's cinematic score goes to Vincent S�journ� for without his re-creations and support to the petition, this would have never happen and that's a fact.


The cues missing are tours the end of the game
- Snake Confronts Liquid just before the Rex battle.
- Rex is down but not out, Grey Fox saves Snake.
- Grey Fox's Confession, Final Stand and Sacrifice.

I'm relieved to know that, IM24CTU, thanks. :)

Added FLAC and updated the MP3 encode to V0 Variable Bitrate. The zip archive I'm providing for the FLAC encode is the same as the original, I merely reuploaded it.
Sorry for being a few hours late with the update, but precious half happened.

It's all good dude, it was worth waiting on and you're welcome:)
I'm planning on contributing more of my private rips not yet released or produced better than the originals on here and to others sites as backups for offline moments. So stay tune for details on those in the coming days ahead.

Oh, this is great :o Thanks a lot for this, and for the clarification surrounding that release. Very interesting.

A small update from RedCode Interactive about the exact nature of this release, for those seeking confirmation:

At first, Suntarys (Vincent S�journ�) had the project of recreating them one by one, but it was too much time consuming and not easy at all. That's when his friend managed to get in contact with Gigi Meroni, the original composer. Turns out he learned that those musics were still in the original tape Gigi Meroni worked 20 years earlier ( = during MGS development) and in his possession. That's when Gigi Meroni agreed on releasing them, so we could get and upload them. TL;DR: Original composer kept the original tapes with the music and Suntarys's friend asked him if he still had it.

Lovely! MGS music is always a plus

Thanks for the LOSSLESS version, yes but without you I think I would never have been aware that a such gem exists.

what makes this version of MGS1's OST different? is it because it has the cutscene music? i thought that was extracted years ago, nevertheless an awesome addition to MGS music and thank you mr Leon for making this more known to us

While there have been attempts at ripping the music found in Metal Gear Solid's cinematics/cutscenes, the ripped tracks also came with sound effects/voices (basically, unclean rips).
This thing, according to statements from RedCode Interactive, comes from master tapes owned by Meroni himself, one of the composers who contributed music to the game back then — as part of Konami Kukeiha Club.
I and a few others over at the VGMdb Forums are a bit puzzled by the "legality" of this release, we kind of doubt that Meroni had the rights to release these tracks, they should be retained by Konami… But I'm not going to let it bother me too much, I'm way too happy to finally have some cutscenes music, haha! More than twenty years, dammit.

i see, it was extremely nice of mr Meroni to release the cutscene music for the world to listen to after years of failing to capture it, but i don't think Konami should retain the music in any shape or form, they had already damaged the franchise to oblivion and the last thing the world needs is them not giving MGS the love it rightfully deserves, especially after the crap they pulled on us with MGSV and Surfuckingvive

in fact, once this becomes popular i'm sure they'll take it down, sorry for the little rant, in the meantime let's enjoy this very momentous occasion

I really hope that's not something we the fans, players, listeners, and viewers have to deal with in the future but I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. Considering they would protect their "so-called" property like its their Federal Reserve, no one can access it. Because I can guarantee the fandom rise up and call BS on Komani, even start a boycott campaign all for the fact their screwing us over all because we politely asked for something as a unreleased copy of the MGS cinematic music. Yet no doubt Komani would go after everyone involved like a pack of wolves or piranha with their F-uped lawyers just show their power and even intimidate in a similar way like the YouTuber who was stocked and harassed by the people at Take-Two. Even if the situation was about leaks of a game, the situation would end up the same even if it's about the game's music. Video games are art and should be protected plain and simple yet that's were the loophole lies for where so-called Triple A companies like like Komani and even Bethesda can get away with treating their players, their customers like cattle. Because its all about slot machines, loot-boxes and SJW/PC content nowadays not real content which is slowly destroying the gaming industry from within. Other words, they over time started becoming extremely greedy and power-hungry and willing to sacrificing their ethics and dignity all to make a profit. Because they have forgotten the most important thing when making games which is that takes time to craft art, good art and most of all should be fun to do. Yet the world is so-much in rush hour, these game companies push developers way passed the point of no return to create games that most of time end up like garbage like Fallout 76 was. Only focused on using their shady lootboxes so the fat cats in power get their money but not giving back to the people responsible for their companies successes and anyone who calls out against the injustice is consider a threat and becomes blacklisted from society. Which is what exactly happen to Hideo Kojima 4 years ago that he was a prisoner in his own company with a gag order that would be something out of a political thriller yet its a gaming company. At one point in history, Komani was very respected and well-known for their arcade games, now their well-known for other reason and its not a very good one to be know as. These Triple-A companies forgotten the number one most important rule in business, the customer is always right. In this case without the fans to these various franchises video games, movies, TV, and comics, they would have never reached that status of being so-well known and even legendary at times. Shame this is the day and age we live in nowadays.

Sorry for the rant, just needed to let out some steam regarding the possibly of Komani doing some BS over the MGS soundtrack which was fan-backed by the way.

I respectfully disagree with you there. While METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN can't be called "complete/finished", it is still the best entry in the franchise, gameplay-wise. Also, I won't naively believe that KONAMI is the only one to blame in the troubled development process that game went through.
The franchise created by Kojima brought a lot of money in their pockets, you don't get rid of that individual without a damn good reason; development costs for TPP likely got too high (no small thanks to Kojima's decision to scrap certain elements and basically restart from scratch)… Konami made the only decision it could make as a "business".

TL;DR: Hideo Kojima fucked up, too, not only Konami.

i actually agree with you there, TPP has the BEST gameplay ever in a stealth game, and i'm a big stealth game fan too, but that's gameplay-wise though, the rest is simply terrible, even the plot, which is one of MGS's greatest strong points despite the constant retcons, is shit at best, even Peace Walker, with it's laughable story, had a better plot.



believe it or not, my opinion on the TPP fiasco is vastly different from what the majority think about it, what i think is that Kojima gets half the blame, what was he thinking and doing during TPP's development for it to be this unfinished is anyone's guess, and the fact that he got 80$ million dollars and 5 years of dev time to work with, something other game devs can only DREAM of, only adds to the mystery and strangeness of the whole ordeal, to me he has fallen from grace and i don't think i'll ever like him again, but Death Stranding is not too far from releasing so maybe he learned from his mistakes and wisened the fuck up, we shall see.


now Konami on the other hand, are the absolute masters of pissing their fanbases off, Silent Hill was getting shafted again and again by western game devs after Team Silent was denied work on another SH game after 4, and Castlevania isn't any better with Lord of Shadows 1 and 2 not selling well nor receiving well, and while at least those two got actual games in their respective series, MGS got an MGS3 pachinko (the biggest fuck you in the entire universe if there ever was one, out of ALL the MGS games, why in the world did they go with the best one?) and seeing the recreated cutscenes in the Fox Engine only adds to the agony, and Surfuckingvive, which was Konami's way of saying "MGS is over bitches", i swear, they have no redeeming qualities about them anymore, at this point they are a total joke and deserve all the shit slinging at them, but that's not to say Kojima is innocent in any way.


TL;DR: TPP is the best gameplay-wise, the rest of the game is shit at best, Kojima is half responsible for the TPP fiasco and has fallen from grace, and Konami are the ultimate cocksuckers of the universe.

Thanks! that was a great surprise today!

Agreed, MGS V was very entertaining for the gameplay which I definitely enjoyed plus the storyline was intense as a MGS game should be. Plus you had Kiefer Sutherland aka Jack "Freckin" Bauer from 24 as Big Boss which to me even made the game more entertaining to play.

To clarify what I said in my rant is Hideo Kojima was a prisoner at Konami yet never mentioned to the issues Kojima faced during MGS V's production. He was definitely at fault for errors in TPP but the biggest "screw-you" to the MGS franchise was Komani because they wanted to continue the series and go into a different direction thus Metal Gear Survive. But Kojima didn't want to make another MGS game and wanted to close it as best as he could so he can move on with other game ideas that would have became another cash-cow ***cough***Death***Stranding***. The matter is Komani wasn't going to let it be the end of their cash-cow and still wanted to milk or better yet squeeze out what was left which lead to Kojima not agreeing to what they were going to do and he ended almost being blacklisted from the gaming community for speaking against the injustices of Komani. Metal Gear Survive which is a joke in of itself. Komani had one last chance at redemption with P E aka Silent Hills but shut down production in order to push Kojima and other developers into crunch-time with getting MGS V ready before its intended release date, no thanks to Komani for being too damn stupid and greedy. They were pushing game developers to their breaking points which only led to more issues in MGS V down the road since it couldn't properly polished which goes back to what I said before about rushing art.

To be clear, Metal Gear Survive is not a bad game in fact its also entertaining to play but just doesn't have the same charm as other MGS games did and plus the original creator was never involved with the production.
