Konami's Perfect Selections has been of my most dear music experiences regarding game music arrangement. The "Battle" have a lot of meaning to me. When I first listen the Battle Selections, it was the related castlevania ones. Imagine my surprise when I found out the artist credits for all of them. Performed by Naoto Shibata Project, arranged by Naoto Shibata.
Naoto Shibata is a member, and the genious of the japanese Heavy Metal band called ANTHEM, on of the most iconic metal bands of my life. :)
You can check the band works in ANTHEM ~Discography~ (Thread 58148) thread.



All music originally composed by Konami Kukeiha Club, arranged by Naoto Shibata and performed by Naoto Shibata Project

Hi, is it possible to upload "Perfect Selection Konami - Shooting Battle", because all links are dead, many thks in advance.
I dunno if you have the original audio cd, in case, best quality is better (ak 320 kbps).
Best Regards.

I will re-upload tomorrow. But not 320kbps.That is not best quality it is loss of space.
It will be VBR -V0, because that is how I got the rips.
Tomorrow.

Files Re-uploaded, with booklet scans included. :)

Thank you very much, I was missing these! Great work!

Many thks :)

For information, MP3 was encoded with a very older and bugged version of LAME (v3.97 - 2006), we are now in v3.99.5 from Feb. 2012...
See the history : http://lame.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lame/lame/doc/html/history.html

We must use the lastest version on Lame in our application like CDex... just to replace lame_enc.dll file.

who cares????

why are people never happy, with what is offered?

It was for information, no offense ;)
Thks for the re-upload

sorry if I got loose on my screws.
It is just latelly people complain so much about my willingly shares and demanding so much like they are the bosses, that I just loose it very quickly.

Hi, any chance of re-uploading these? Sadly, it seems both links have died. Thanks in advance if you can!
