'ello
and welcome to Sound{e}scapes, my attempt at sharing some of the best pieces
in videogame music that I've come across over the years. |
A
quick bit of history...
I had originally started recording video game music on an
old stereo(that
had a tape deck) years ago. Using various 60 to 120 minute cassettes,
I would record music, label the tapes and listen to them on the
road and
whatnot.
Years go by...and as tape quality is just horrid to begin with, and
keeps getting worse with every play-through, I decided to redo my entire
collection.
Using a variety
of methods, from emulation .wav dumps to ripping tracks directly
from games with redbook audio, I have re-recorded my entire
collection exactly as they originally were back on the cassettes. Not
content
with just keeping it all to myself, I thought I'd dedicate a section
of the site to it, to share these wonderful pieces with our various
WAG visitors.

All
tracks are recorded at a tasty 192kbps which is, no doubt, overkill
for a lot of them...but damn it sounds good. Originally,
so many years ago, I had only recorded 7 tapes worth of stuff...but during
my time re-recording the music I have managed to come up with and record
even more tracks. Newer recordings start with Tape 8. |

You'll
notice that each section is divided into "tapes" rather
than pages. This is to stay consistent with the recording's original
format. Also, if
you have any questions please read the FAQ for
this section and then, by all means, email
me. |
