Composed by David Wise. Recreated by me. This was made possible by using VGMTrans to rip the game's data into MIDI format and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up using the same patches that the game sources its sounds from, as well as recreations of the synth patches, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience

Composed by David Wise. Recreated by me, transcribing the song by ear and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up using the same patches that the game sources its sounds from, as well as recreations of the synth patches, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience. Special thanks to Miles dumperghost for new sample findings in this song. This restoration was created entirely while traveling in Copenhagen, and uploaded at the airport on the way out.
