CHU-TENG, a rare game for early mac by Osamu Sato. It is a Japan-only sequel to the cult classic Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou. (Osamu Sato was also famed for his work on LSD: Dream Emulator).
Finally this game has surfaced, and here is the ripped audio for you. The original format was .snd, so I recoded it to .flac:

You will notice it is mostly loops, but the sound effects are also included.

The game themselves are totally weird, and the music is quite interesting.
Here are the intro movies for both games:

Not really "wrong", but decided to upload it in flac, and also normalized some tracks.

so the "equal" album was the soundtrack for chu-ten? I thought it was just a solo work..

Similar to how, "Transmigration" is considered to be the "Tong-Nou OST". You can say the albums’ tracks are made out of the several loops (if you play the game or listen to the rip, you can notice the loops are quite short) contained in the game, this time they are laid out as whole songs.
Another hint are the track titles, "Transmigration" has 3 tracks with Tong-nou in their titles, and "Equal" has at least 1 with Chu-Teng in its title.
