I know, stupid cover, right?

This is an, in my opinion, excellent soundtrack composed by Hayato Matsuo, sounding similar to his Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber work, with opening and ending vocal pieces written by Kohei Tanaka, arranged by Takayuki Negishi, and sung by Junko Iwao. The album has higher quality synth than the in-game soundtrack, however, to fit it all on one disc, it doesn't loop. The complexity of some of the music doesn't get much chance to sink in and so I've always wanted to loop this and fix the abrupt fade-outs. Previously I posted a version of this sourced from what was, unbeknownst to me and the seller I bought it from, an Ever Anime bootleg, but I said if I ever got the official CD I'd redo the whole project, and that's exactly what I've done. The CD, catalog number MJCA-0009, was accurately ripped (confidence 6) with EAC using settings from Vegeta's guide, but I didn't include the log since, obviously, I've altered the content. Beyond just looping, I also declipped some tracks with SA Perfect Declipper, and I've indicated in the comments of each track what I've done. (Tracks 1, 18-29, and 54 are untouched since nothing was necessary.) I'm pretty confident my looping is seamless, most tracks only requiring one to three samples to be altered to make a smooth waveform at the loop point, but do tell me if you hear what you believe to be an error.

Just notify me if there are any problems or if the links go down sometime in the future. Not that I'm fishing for thanks, but post if you enjoy - it'll help other people who might want this to see the thread too.

Project redone using the official CD this time. New links and FLAC added. Thanks to you two who were interested in a re-up, even if I am quite late for one of you.

"Personal Combat" (aka "Single Combat") is fantastic. I always look forward to duels in Dragon Force II!

I enjoy Hayato Matsuo's music since Rayearth.
Whenever I see someone talk about his songs they are either like "ehhh" or "this isn't anything interesting." It makes me sad.
So yeah, gonna check this out. Maybe even play the game, though I see it's only in japanese. Huh.
Thanks.

Thanks :D, I've never heard of this game so I'm going to look it up after listening to some of the music.

"The complexity of some of the music doesn't get much chance to sink in and so I've always wanted to loop this and fix the abrupt fade-outs."

So true! Forgot to thank the OP for taking the time to do this. I had the OST myself, and was frustrated at how prematurely the songs ended.

Nouct: if you're interested, there's a Let's Play of the game (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEEE05601D6BD0845) by Reinofhearts on Youtube, and the duel theme can be heard in this video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RP9_vWPQ-g)
