I bet the section from 1:34 - 2:36 sounds entirely new to those of you that are familiar with the Gohdan track. that's because... the official ost condenses the second and third phases of the fight! to be honest I didn't believe the comment saying there was a whole section missing from my other uploads of this song. but when I looked up a gameplay video there indeed are entire parts I had never heard before (at least not that I remembered)! and it turns out those notes are in the original midi data (of course) but I thought they were just scrapped or something. so now here is the ENTIRE Gohdan fight, restored in all its intended glory

all samples here are from the Roland SC-88 and the Kurzweil K2500R. unfortunately, both organs and the tambourine are the three instruments in this one that aren't restored. I could've tried asking someone in the VGM discord to send over the K2500R's Gospel Organ (the first one) but I've already asked for a few things there and I'm kind of embarrassed to ask for more lol. the second organ and tambourine still haven't been found. also I kept the original sample mappings for the strings and french horns because I like how they sound more than the full patches. but the harpsichord and synth voice should sound slightly different because all their samples are present

I know none of the restorations I've done so far don't sound too different from their originals. but once we get to the 8,000 sub special... man, that one's somthin else
