(Rusty Composer) DS The Dark Spire OST / YOLO Extreme Boost Mix / 幻霧ノ塔ト剣ノ掟 BGM / Kenichi Arakawa
8This love-letter to Wizardry style games in Nintendo DS game form was packed with a pretty ultimate soundtrack by none other than Kenichi Arakawa, one of the pioneers of PC-88/PC-98 music and a legend in chiptunes. I prefer the classic version of these songs (just like many Etrian Odyssey players do for that game series) so I pushed them and some of my favorites to the front here.
I pushed the "boosting" beyond normal limits here because honestly I couldn't help it when I was listening to it myself - like Spinal Tap sometimes you have to turn the volume to 11 out of 10. If this mix style is too intense just let me know and I will try to keep it a bit more under the red line.
I was actually going to cut the whole "modern" part of the soundtrack and I sort of included it at last minute as a bonus for those who are interested to see what it is like. The modern songs sounded sort of weak in comparison to the boosted Classic / retro style tunes so I added some saturation and noticed too late that some songs may easily overdrive your headphones or speakers - so please be careful with volume!
Kenichi Arakawa was obviously restricted by hardware doing a DS game and not full CD soundtrack, so some of the "modern" songs I am sure it was difficult to achieve the effect he desired with lo-fi synth and voice sample voicings.
