Composed by Yoko Shimomura. Recreated by me. This is a commission from Acetaminophen on Discord, and is for this track only, 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 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 Miyoko Kobayashi (Takaoka) and Masanori Hikichi. Recreated by me. This is part of a commission from @N.Harmonik on Discord and is for this song only. This is not part of a project to restore the soundtrack. This was made possible by ripping the music from the ROM in MIDI format using VGMTrans and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up using a digital version of the original sound hardware that was used to compose the game, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience.
