Shmup OST Collection

[Dragon God]

I've noticed a Shmup game collection thread, so I don't think there's any harm in doing one for soundtracks.

Whew, that is a lot. Let's see what you folks have. Those who own Salamander Pro Fusion (KICA-7702) get my immediate respect and admiration

[nZero]

Shmupwise? Only these three, I think.

Raiden Densetsu (PCCB-00047)
Raiden II (PCCB-00150)
ESPGALUDA (CVST-0001)

Well, plus stuff like Border Down LE and Shikigami no Shiro 2 LE that came with soundtracks. Also some borderline stuff like Armored Core 2, Armored Core 3, and Tempest 2000. I'm pretty sure everything else is either driving games or RPGs, unless there's some stuff I'm forgetting.

[Tomtom]

The only one I actually own an official copy of is Radiant Silvergun (ABCA-5043).

[Turrican]

Check my OSTs at Chudah's!

[Minzoku]

Erm... Gradius V

The problem is there's just too much to buy

[Galderic]

Anyone have the Phalanx (SNES) OST ?

At www.zophar.net have the OST (spc) archives of Phalanx but have problems when I execute some song

[Nemo]

DG, some of those are what people here consider shmups, not that it really matters for a thread like this.

My Collection:

ESPgaluda
Progear
Mushihimesama
DOJ/Galuda Remix
DDP/DDPII
Border Down
Border Down Vol. 2
Salamander Arcade
Einhander
Battle Garegga
ThunderForce Lost Technology
Technosoft Vol. 4 Elemental Master

Also got the Darius set coming from you DG.

Arghh I also want an Einhander OST

[fraggore]

nice collection

[icepick]

visuatrox, your collection rocks.

I would die for those I've Girls compilations! At least, I think. I like what I've (ha) heard of I've Sound a lot... I should really look into getting some of those compilations! First things first, though; SunnyVale, then some selections off of Muzie.co.jp, then we'll see. Too much goodness in the world for me to afford it all.

It seems that I can simply pick the titles that I have, out of your very list. Here goes:

...
Border Down - Soundtracks - SRIN-1009
Border Down Soundtracks -Vol.2 SRIN-1011
Chaos Field Soundtrack STRV-001
Chaos Field Special Bonus CD Vol.2 STRV-003
...
Gradius V Original Soundtracks KOLA-081
...
PSYVARIAR2 ORIGINAL Sound track PLUS KDSD-00032
...
Rez - Gamer's Guide to... IDCT-1001 [Somewhere? I put it away, since I bought it before the game itself, and wanted to wait to play the game before listening to it. Now, I have no idea of where it is.]
...
Shikigami no Shiro II Sound Track ALFA-0001 [Not sure if this is what I have; I have the one that came with the DC LE version. I want to get the other one too, though.]
...
TRIZEAL BONUS TRACK'S [Of course.]

You have Love.exe and the Studio Siesta Espgaluda arrange, too! Love.exe has the song to the PS2 Baldr Force EXE opening, right? I have a really low-quality MP3 from Alchemist of that, and I love it to bits... and I wasn't able to get the Studio Siesta CDs from Otaku.com when they were having that awesome doujin CD sale...

Again, fan-fan-tastic collection... I'll bet that it indeed costed so much, but it's so much good music! We need to get new music; Music is the soundtrack to our lives, and while scent might be the strongest sense tied to memory, music can certainly bring you back in time to a particular period fairly well!

(Sorry about off-topic-ness of post, everyone!)

[visuatrox]

visuatrox, your collection rocks.

Thanks, I have put a lot of effort and time getting those CD's . About the Love.exe CD single, yes it has the opening song from Baldr Force EXE (hey almost a shmup game ). If you like that song, you would propably like some of the I've Girls Compilation CD's too. Compilation 4 has one of the other songs that are in Baldr Force exe (the second "intro" in the game). Worth noting is that their older songs (pre compilation 3) have a bit different sound/style to them.

Huh did Otaku.com have a doujin sale, I tracked down the Siesta Espgaluda on Yahoo Japan (and yea the shipping and fees ended up costing more than the CD's )

(and again sorry for going a bit offtopic )

[Turrican]

That's a very good collection visuatrox! Say, how are the Xevious cds? I want to hear some good Xevious music, which one would you say it's the best?

And, whoa! Shiina Hekiru singles? Don't tell me those are Twinbee vocals or I'll die of envy!

[SheSaidDutch]

I've got two SNK games that can be played on a Hi-Fi

PC ports of Fatal Fury 3 and Samurai Showdown 2

[visuatrox]

Turrican in my opinion the XEVIOUS 3D/G+ Techno Maniax is the best of the Xevious CD's. The Shiina Hekiru album & single contains the Japanese ending song from R-Type Final.

[Blade]

*compares the list on this thread with the "Which shmup has the Best Soundtrack" thread, takes notes, starts PM-ing people*








...What?

[Turrican]

Turrican in my opinion the XEVIOUS 3D/G+ Techno Maniax is the best of the Xevious CD's. The Shiina Hekiru album & single contains the Japanese ending song from R-Type Final.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look for that one.

Pastel fighting Bydo Empire... Weird

[Turrican]

By the way, has anyone noticed how many doujin cds are out there about TFV:

Lost Technology (FNAG-0001)

Thunderforce VI -Broken Thunder- (FNAG-0003)

ABSOLUTE AREA -project Thunderforce VI- (FNAG-0004) (this should be about Hyper Duel as well)

Lost Technology Plus (2 CD set) (FNAG-0009)

I've read before comments on the first two releases here at Shmups, but I haven't heard any feedback on the later two. Someone got them?

[LSU]

I have Lost Technology Plus, and I like it a lot. It really is a 'soundtrack plus' in that there's a lot more stuff that's been added in addition to the original OST tracks. None of the extra stuff is particularly meaty though - it's more atmospheric kind of smaller tracks in between the main ones.

The only thing I would say is that it does have some narration in Japanese over these extra slower-paced tracks, which can sometimes break up the flow of the fast paced in-game music a bit. It's got some nice touches though, the TFV title screen's little 'login' noises are there in the background on some tracks, as if someone's using the computer - or maybe it's supposed to be the computer doing the narration? (Hard to tell without speaking Japanese.)

The booklet is also quite nice and has some very pretty CGI renders of the ships that were used as covers for some of the other TF CDs.

[The Coop]

ABSOLUTE AREA -project Thunderforce VI- (FNAG-0004) (this should be about Hyper Duel as well)

I have no idea why "Thunder Force VI" is in that thing's title. The music has nothing to do with any aspect of the Thunder Force series. All it is, is the remastered Hyper Duel soundtrack.

[Turrican]

ABSOLUTE AREA -project Thunderforce VI- (FNAG-0004) (this should be about Hyper Duel as well)

I have no idea why "Thunder Force VI" is in that thing's title. The music has nothing to do with any aspect of the Thunder Force series. All it is, is the remastered Hyper Duel soundtrack.

Yeah, I guessed so - maybe all Tsukumo's doujin projects are labeled under a "Project TFVI" brand. It's listed that way at Chudah's.

@LSU: thanks for the impressions! I just bought one from ebay ^_^

[Fenrir]

I've only got Mushihimesama, Thunderforce V aand ANDDDD APIDYA!!!! :D

[ROBOTRON]

Border Down
R-Type Final

I have a huge assortment on my PC...but those 2 are the only official OST.

[CIT]

Ones I actually own:

Ray'z Premium Boxed Set (Rayforce, -storm and -crisis)
Border Down image tracks
Senko No Ronde
Under Defeat
Radilgy
Dodonpachi DOJ & Ketsui
Espgaluda
Espgaluda II
Mushihimesama
Xexex
Zun's Music Collection Vol. 2 (Shanghai Alice/Touhou selections)
Raiden Rare Tracks (from INH DVD)

Plus some stuff that came together with a game/limited edition (BD, UD, TFV, etc)

My favorite is Senko No Ronde. The tracks for that game are absolutely beautiful! Best Game OST E.V.E.R.!!!

[Turrican]

Thunderforce - Lost Technology (FNAG-0009) Plus is really an awesome double cd set, which every fan shouldn't miss - the remastering job is great and gives these tunes the "oomph" factor that the original has lost with time.

A must buy!

[LSU]

Apologies if this has already been pointed out, but Square Enix has recently just published a reprint of the most excellent Einhander soundtrack CD, which was previously out of print.
I just got one delivered from VGM World and am really happy with it. So nice to finally own a copy - even if it's not a first print.

[Geezer]

I just sold a few of mine, I'm only retaining the ones for the games I intend to keep:

Battle Garegga (The INH release)
Dodonpachi Dai Ou Jou/Ketsui combo
Espgaluda
Espgaluda II
Mushihime Sama Futari (Not got the game yet though!)

I'd love a Guwange OST but there was never one released

[Frederik]

Anyone have the Phalanx (SNES) OST ?

At www.zophar.net have the OST (spc) archives of Phalanx but have problems when I execute some song

Isn´t the music pretty mediocre, much like the game itself?

I have the GBA port, and while music often gets horribly downgraded (like in the R-Type 3 port), it was better then in the original game. I love the Stage 2 music in the GBA version. They seem to use much better instrument samples.
