I was really eager to get to work on this soundtrack. I thought for months ahead of time about how this would be a turning point for me, and I was also just excited to expose this music to more people. For me, Shin Onigashima is Koji Kondo's most underrated soundtrack. Some of these songs, I don't know if they've ever been orchestrated, arranged, remixed, etc. So presenting all these songs in a non 8-bit form was exciting for me. In the end, it was a big learning experience, and probably one of the coolest things I've ever done.

"Chapter 2: At Home (Night)", "Staff Roll", "Chapter 5: Castle Ruins", "Chapter 6: Strange Forest" and "Ending" all have improved mixing and MIDI sequencing compared to the original uploads. So does "Chapter 4: Neighboring Village"--I also changed the lead in that to a flute, because I thought the original oboe lead was kinda ugly.
