WHAT IS THIS?

OutRun is one of SEGA’s all-time legendary arcade games. We all know this. The soundtrack is, also, and here it is presented in both its original arcade form (with the additional "OutRun 3D" tracks) and Sega Genesis / Megadrive versions.

My goal is to present to the community well-mastered Original Sound Version / OST music of the greatest soundtracks video gaming has to offer, with an emphasis on early/mid-90s obscurities and classics. The Genesis OSV was little trouble and sounded well with my usual techniques. The arcade soundtrack was a pain to get right and I’m still not totally happy with it. The problem is, some of the samples used just don’t sound very good and could do with being mixed and equalised better. But my remaster still sounds hugely improved compared to listening to the original, of course. There were extended versions in the VGMRips pack I used as a source, they are not included. I edited Magical Sound Shower a little as the final section was too long.

I’ve arranged the tracks in a good listening order and, as previously mentioned, included the two additional tracks SEGA had composed for the "OutRun 3D" re-release. I contemplated including SID-chip and Amiga versions of the OSV but they both completely lose the latin feel of the originals so they don’t belong IMHO!

Enjoy!
