Arguably the strangest track ordering on a CD I've ever seen

But who cares, it's APE ESCAPE. Any CD with "Time Station" is destined to be a glorious CD.

Agreed on the track ordering... but I can overlook that for the wealth of great music on this release. English tracklist is direct from the booklet by the way.

A recent edit added some descriptions saying this album is from the PSP port, but what it is based on? Contains additional tracks for the port? All I founded is that the composer reveals this album contains an enhanced version of the music that was optimized for the PSX sequencer.

Yeah, that's definitely the case. It's a shame too, because I'd say 8 times out of 10 the original PSX sound is better than the enhanced version ("Crumbling Castle" what happened to you ). At least "Time Station" escaped unscathed.

The music itself is of such a high standard though that I'd still recommend it to anyone.

Most tracks were remixed on the PSP version, this album contains the PSP music, for example, this music of molten lava http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9woSbGhIF4 is same than the album, however, the sound have been enhanced, it's more clear. also, some music doesn't appears on the album

Thanks for clarification. I still can't confirm that info (the composer called the PSP soundtrack 'a slight change' and he didn't refer to PSP at the entry as to the production of this album), but if you're sure please restore the platform and note (but I think what's needed after all is to note it sounds different than the original version, and some might think we should select Arrangement or Remaster).

For the longest time I thought this was from the PSX version but now I hear it's from the PSP game. Huh. I loved the PSX music but never played the PSP Ape Escape. I think I'd like the music though the "enhancing" of some tracks might bug me.
