Wow, a game music album mastered by Vlado Meller. He's the guy who's been screwing up the sound of Red Hot Chili Peppers albums, amongst others, for more than a decade, making Californication so loud and distorted that some people returned the CD, thinking it was defective. At least he was conservative (by his standards) with this album and didn't repeat that mistake. Just surprised to find his name here.

I don't have any other Sonic albums to compare the sound with, but I can say this sounds better than it did on real hardware. I wonder how it was recorded. Most likely not emulation, but it's not a stock Mega Drive either. I wonder if they modded one or have some other means of getting sound out of a YM2612 and SN76489.

I'd like to know as well. Perhaps they are sourced from the PC-98 versions that Hiroshi Kubota/Yukifumi Makino had made? Wave Master (who keeps a lot of the source material of SEGA soundtracks in their archive) is given special thanks in the liner notes, so it's possible.

The demo tracks are the original tracks Masato Nakamura made before Hiroshi Kubota converted them to play on the Mega Drive hardware.
