Hi, does anyone have this version of Arion?

I like both the OST and the symphonic suite and would like take a listen of the synth version, but seems to be one of those albums that is impossible to find anywhere.

The Arion comics ran from March 1979 to September 1984. So this LP from 1983 actually predates Hisaishi's music (the anime film adaptation was in 1986, also the year His' score was released). So the only way to hear HisSynth is on the Digital Trip 1800 Series ARION Synthesizer Fantasy (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f91/only-old-anime-osts-bgm-einachi-67259/206.html#post2344824) album (Link is dead. I have downloaded it though, so I'll re-upload it if I have time). Or the soundtrack/image album since back then His' scores were partly performed by studio orchestras :'D

this is not joe hisaishi, and it's a disappointment. Not worth money at all. Its actually pretty annoying, with tracks too long, because its compositions that loop and loop and loop over again with no development in the music at all.
This the result of 2 words : Lazy Composition.

Sanico, maybe what you wanted was this:
