I loaded the tracks up into Adobe Audition, one at a time, and the program shows some tracks have occasional clipping. This may have something to do with the program, not necessarily the data. Also, my boombox at work has trouble with the lower frequencies.
I still need to hear it on a good system.
It seems like they skipped the mastering stage. The point being that it should sound good on any system you play it on. Another culprit could be the mp3 compression although the mp3s could sound as good as the source material.

Alright, I did my 'part'. It is now a torrent: (

To anyone who doesn't know how to use BT: use another method :ebil:.
It goes without saying, but if anyone downloads from this source, try seeding at least one full copy (share ratio of 1:1). I have no problem seeding this constantly if the demand is big, but as there are so many different sources, I'm just doing this as a courtesy, a backup.
Now, to actually
listen to it!

Ahhh, thank you! :D
If it's still needed I can perma-host this thing on my ftp server, though that might not be the case what with all these links flying about.

oh, goodie!
Thanks alot for this soundtrack. :thumb:
Actually I'm a movie-soundtrack geek and gamesoundtracks are my new specialty. Though, long way to beat those 500 film scores ;)

It seems that some tracks sound better and clearer than some others, even though all have samplerate of 44.1kHz. Maybe the original files were of lower sample rate, and MysteryDev MP3zed them at higher samplerate?
However bitrate 192 is high enough not to add any easily hearable noise artifacts into the sound, even if a mediocre encoder is used.
Even today developers are compressing game score tracks to save space, pack it into their unique formats, and it necessary leads to some quality loss.
Last game soundtrack I ripped was from NfS Most Wanted, they used an unusual samplerate of 38kHz and Lame refused to convert it at that value, so I had to oversample it to 44.1.
Bah, I'm nitpicking. Once again thanks for the music, it sounds great!

Fuck yes!
I have this uploaded for anyone who wants it, but I have very limited bandwidth so I'll give it you on request. Just send me an ICQ, MSN or email and I'll give you the link if you're still looking for it.
BR796164: 38kHz is probably a size-saving procedure, because I don't think many people, whilst playing a computer game are going to notice HF content over 19kHz. You could probably take it down to 31 / 32 Khz and most people wouldn't notice.

Great soundtrack. Just listening to "The Docks" brought back some very enjoyable memories of that area.
