PWCA-2031: sanodg works

[CHz]

Never heard of this album before, but just going by the tracklist, it looks like there are a few game tracks in there, and it also looks like a lot of the original pieces appeared on previous albums. Let's see here:

01 stacomPS2.DnB (Sanodg Mix)
Same name (basically) as track 3 on the PS2 GitS: SAC OST. The one on this album is a minute longer though, so arrangement?

02~05
These all have the same names as tracks from Drag-on Dragoon. The track times are all pretty much identical, so they might be directly from the game. Track 5 is translated as "Exhausted" (specifically, "Route B Staff Roll 'Exhausted'") on the second OST volume, and the lyricist there should be Sawako Natori, not Eriko Hatsune. Joshin agrees.

08 Namoon
This is an O.M.Y. piece, it appears on their second album. It also appears on a couple of Aihara's original albums, TTRC-0020 and TTRC-0030, so I don't know what's up with that.

09 I Will Not Forget
Track 11 on TTRC-0014.

10 Twist Of Fate
Track 3 on TTRC-0025.

11 Amplitude
Track 4 on TTRC-0024.

12 Leaning Tower
Track 5 on TTRC-0026.

13 Shanghai Discotheque 2001
Track 9 on DMCD-0005.

6, 7, and 14~16 I couldn't find anywhere, so they could be original for this album.

Should Eriko Hatsune (listed as composer) be listed as a performed insted ?
(if we follow the actual notes)

[Secret Squirrel]

Ok, I think I've made all the edits you described. Thanks for doing the background research on this.

Isn't the vocalist for track 6 Raj Ramayya? I mean, the same guy who performs "Strangers" from Wolf's Rain?

[Gigablah]

Indeed he is. Good spotting.

Great observations on most of the ones already published to CD. As for the rest:

06 Heroes Never Die is from Gun Survivor 4 Biohazard / Resident Evil: Dead Aim
07 Snowy is from the Troubadour album Be Filled With Feeling
14 Electric Prayer is Demo Music
15 Jz is from Delight in Daylight
16 You Got Colours is an Original Exclusive

This is basically a great CD. I love the haunting horror compositions and the more colourful Troubadour works. The Drakengard music probably shouldn't have been compiled here although I personally don't mind it.

Amendment: Electric Prayer is from Demo 2, actually a 2001 Nanosounds album.

Regarding "Namoon" being on both Nobuyoshi Sano and Takayuki Aihara's albums: I have a feeling they composed it together, since I can hear both of their styles (Sano's synth hits, Aihara's brass leads) in it, though I'm not sure if the Oriental Magnetic Yellow CDs give specific credits to confirm this. The version that appears on Carnaval is a bossa nova rendition, and if I'm not mistaken the version here is the same as the OMY original.
