Tim Follins' skills are on point but you're missing the stage theme "Creepy Forest" so no perfect score!

Such a radically good OST from Tim Follins! I was happy to see it in the uploads and immediately clicked on it, no regret, even more awesome than I remember it!

Why do the source songs sound worse than the YouTube rips? they're like 2 different versions of the songs.

the youtube rips don't have the interpolation that's supposed to be there to muffle the audio and make it sound like it normally would. sad that those are the most popular because they're really bad

You're looking for "Flea Pit", my guy.
It plays exactly at the creepy forest.

you're overrated /j

Absolutely not, it was a miracle that we get a masterpiece like this, especially at a time when game music was so limiting. This is one of the worst takes I've witnessed.

That's such a hot take it gives the sun a run for its money.

I don't really think that, like it could of been a normal boss theme, but there's no reason for the boss music to go down so hard

This album was updated on 8th of March, 2024.

Change Log:
Re-rendered original files due to low quality and volume. Added official track titles from "Plok Original SNES Soundtrack" (RR-003).

Sad to hear that Geoff Follin has passed away after a battle with cancer. May he rest in peace, him and his brother are legendary.

 

[Unoriginal_Fox]

The SNES/SFC's interpolation option was Guassian, it tends to make things sound very muffled, yet many composers worked around those limitations. Whenever I render SNES/SFC music, I go for Cubic or Sinc interpolation at 44100HZ, which seems to satisfy the ears of the average listener, and SNES diehards.

edit: probably gonna switch to 64000 Hz, since that's double the snes's actual sample rate (32000 Hz). as for the interpolation, i'll stick to sinc, has similar distortions to gaussian, but is much clearer like cubic. cubic is a little crunchy, while sinc is a little rounder.

Rest in peace Geoff. You will never be forgotten. Thanks for the tunes.
