Did an extension of [mururowaan] from Treasure Hunter G, a rather unknown yet unique RPG released only in Japan (of course) for the Super Famicom, so it's one of those well-hidden gems gettin' little love out there.

This time, I chose a theme with a rather... random name, for starters: this soundtrack has a few strange song names including this one.
From what I researched (and found nothing), "mururowaan" seems to mean "this is a mess" in Somali, according to an automatic language translation from Google Translate... otherwise I find no information about it anywhere. It's also written a-la-FFVII "status name in item description" (with the square brackets and lowercase), which makes it even a little more interesting I think.

Anyway, this ominous and tense track plays at the interior of the pyramids in the second island, after Blue gets a lead on the whereabouts of his adventurous father from Dr. Hello, Blue visits the mad scientist's house to access the pyramids, where his injured father could be, as the latter had an important mission to accomplish.
You first hear this theme when inside the first pyramid that acts as entrance to the larger one, in the outside, a wind sound ambiance plays out instead... speaking of which, it's possible the wind is loaded in a special way a SPC dump approach cannot extract (because I tried with a couple of emulators but none of them can extract that specific sound), BSNES still detects two channels with envelopes when using its SPC700 status viewer though (and shows two voices with low values in the channels 0 and 1).
On the topic of the SPC700 though, the status view shows mostly similar stuff to what you've seen in my past 3 extensions on FEoEZ's soundtrack, except that some channels start with a [Direct] envelope and the samples are placed on the lowest voices.

I hope you like it!

Also, starting this extension, I'll use guillemets for quoting the song information in both description and title, since some data may include normal quotation marks (so that you can distinguish which quotation marks are part of the info), it happens in this case.

Note: as with all music videos shared on my channel, these are published for entertainment/research purposes only!
