Though he's a pretty ubiquitous name to anyone into VGM (if not for his own works than for his arrangements that crop up everywhere), he wasn't really on my radar until I discovered that he created some of the most impressive music to grace arcade cabinets in the late 80s, even running circles around the likes of Hiro at Sega imo. Check out "BGM4" from Assault (1988) to see what I mean. It's pretty insane for its time. Metal Hawk (also 1988) is crazy good too. They're available on vols. 1 and 2 of this series, respectively.
