Battle #3 music from Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals restored to glorious HD quality by locating the samples used by the composers to create a much higher quality approximation of the same song without the low samplerate, low bitrate, and audio compression. These samples are combined with MIDI data converted from recordings of the individual channels, as well as fan made MIDIs cross-referenced with the SPC data. This is a commission from TeslaMaster on Patreon.com/JamminSam and is for two songs only. This is not part of a project to restore the entire soundtrack

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.
