Here's the oldest one from Fauna - I do remember first hearing it and thinking it was a real return to form. My appreciation for it, and the album in general, has only grown over time.

I adhered to the NES limit of 4 maximum simultaneous sounds (technically it's 5, but I use two combined for the kick drum as did most NES composers), which means that in order to accurately represent the chords, I had to arpeggiate some parts and harmonise with the bass in others. I made the image by tracing over the original album cover and by applying what I could discover about NES colour palettes.
