about

This soundtrack, having originally been composed using the Roland SC-55, has been recorded directly from an authentic SC-55 from the extracted game files. Due to the hardware limitations of the SC-55 causing polyphony problems, if necessary, each channel has been recorded independently and then merged into a single track. Therefore, no notation data is lost through polyphony limitations and the tracks may be heard at their fullest.

Track titles are based on the original 8-character MIDI filenames and design documents.

Bonus material:
(#1) Detailed archival tracklist.
(#2) Track-by-track commentary by Andrew Harrington and Chris Braymen.

The archival soundtrack series contains all known music from said title, including 1 second jingles, unused music, beta versions, and more.

Soundtrack and any bonus materials may not be re-distributed elsewhere without the express permission of Xeen Music.

$9.48 of each sale automatically goes to Activision Blizzard for music licensing. The remaining 50% (after Bandcamp fees) is divided between Xeen Music & Chris Braymen & Mark Seibert.
