Composed by Kenji Yamamoto. Recreated by me. Commissioned by an anonymous donor. This is for this track only and not part of a project to restore the soundtrack. This was made possible by using VGMTrans to rip the games data into MIDI format and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up using a digital version of the original sound hardware that was used to compose the game, 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
