This is an album made from the two NHK broadcast recordings of their SYMPHONIC GAMERS & SYMPHONIC GAMERS 2 concerts performed by JAGMO, one of the worlds first orchestras dedicated exclusivly to Games and Anime.
This is as close to a real album release as we will probably get. Give a rep to nextday for delivering the music in very good quality, just a day after the broadcast and saving me much paperwork in giving credit. It certainly trumps the youtube videos in terms of sound quality. Symphonic Gamers 2 is in many ways more of the same. So if you love the first concert, you will certainly love the second. My favorites, without question from both performances are Zelda, Donkey Kong Country 2 and especially "Mario goes Tom & Jerry" by Fukasawa. This is massive fun with a good degree of class, from both the performance side and the listener side. No cheering to be found here. The recording quality is also good for a change. I did amplify it but its nowhere near the impossible undertaking as the LQ Touhou recording. In any case, this makes me smile. This concert series will certainly become an annual event so look forward to next year 😉 Until then, enjoy this quite spectacular music.
And a bit of trivia. Donkey Kong Country 2 was brought to David Wise’s attention very quickly and he is quite shocked to say the least…
EDIT: Monster Hunter and Chrono Trigger had a windows system sounds interupting. I edited them out (should not be noticeable anymore) and also reuploaded in MP3 considering the source is not lossless.
Enjoy
Aside from that, I’d say the highlights of this concert are DKC2 and Suikoden II.
There is also another windows sound 11:33 into Monster Hunter.
Btw, you should re-upload in MP3. FLAC is wholly unnecessary considering the bitrate of the source.

The loss of quality is minuscule and a lossless encoding would needlessly bloat the file size, especially with such a low quality (comparatively) source.
