Description: New and sealed limited edition colour and 3 limited edition postcards 1995, at the tail end of the Mega Drives lifespan, composer Norio NON Hanzawa (Gunstar Heroes) was tasked by acclaimed developer Treasure to score their hugely ambitious new shooter, Alien Soldier. He then duly created one of the most technically impressive, challenging and experimental game scores of the entire 16-bit era. In line with Alien Soldiers frantic gameplay, Hanzawas score is often intense, perplexing and occasionally overwhelming, but it is also punctuated with some surprisingly minimal and inventive synth passages, which at times feel oddly reminiscent of Vangeliss Blade Runner. However, Hanzawas work on Alien Soldier is distinctively his own, harnessing the inherent noise and strange tones of Mega Drives FM sound chip to create a score filled with otherworldly sounds, disorientating layers and a sense of complexity seldom heard in game music at the time. Alien Soldier is presented as a remastered double 180g LP, with audio sourced from the original Japanese console and pressed at 45RPM. It is packaging in a heavyweight single pocket sleeve, with an accompanying foldout poster of the original cover artwork and an obi strip. In addition, early orders will also receive a set of three matt laminated postcards featuring key characters from the game (direct orders only, while stocks last). Available in the following editions: 2 x 180g Blue/Frosted Clear/Grey Tri-Colour with Blue & Grey Splatter (Limited Edition) Please note if item is going to another country overseas outside the UK then I use eBay Global shipping, I send the item to them and they then send the item to you as such I do not set the price that is down to eBay Global shipping, thank you
