Yuzo Koshiro, Takahito Abe, Toshiya Takahashi (preFalcom)- All Over Xanadu [LOSSLESS]

Xanadu was released in 1987 in Japan on the MSX console, and is one of Falcom’s oldest games. "All Over Xanadu" is the one and only album printed for the game. It is an arranged album, and is considered one of the most rare and sought-after treasures in the Falcom discography. It’s so old, it isn’t even "Sound Team JDK." The composers are directly listed, and the famous Yuzo Koshiro is part of the crew.

My personal feeling regarding this album is that it helped shape what gamers, particularly Japanese gamers, expected of game music for a long time to come: not just from Falcom, but from all developers. The seamless transition from Baroque style music (complete with harpsichord) to funky dance grooves, even within the same song, suggests that perhaps Konami took a cue from Falcom when they started work on the Akumajou Dracula (Castlevania) series.
