Next Snatcher Remastered project?

If and when I do another Snatcher Remastered project, which CD do you want me to focus on next? I already did ZOOM TRACKS (and yes, I'll get around to redoing those and posting them), so which one should I do for an encore?
I didn't list the SCC Collection because those are midi style music and it would be pointless to try and enhance midis.

I really have no information on any of those, but I like the sound of the 'Black Disc.'

Yough choice...
But I love the Black Disk ^^
MIDI POWER!

I have to say that my personal favorite is Midi Power. Not only are the tracks among the best, but it is pretty rare and probably not too many fans have heard it. I got lucky and found it on an FTP server...
My second choice would have to be Snatcher Battle.

I actually like Battle the best, since it has the best version of Twilight in Neo Kobe City, in my opinion, but I voted for SD Perfect Selection because I'm curious to hear those tracks (and for another reason that Arjak knows about).

Yeah, I love that CD, too. I was so glad when someone sold it on eBay and I was able to get it... although it put a good dent in my wallet.

Well, isn't the Snatcher OST (I refuse to call it "Radio Play") midi too? I mean, it's FM music straight from the PC-88 version. The only difference is that they added "Engrish" dialogue between tracks.

You're right. Any kind of music can be enhanced...just because it's generated by a synthesizer doesn't mean you can't make it sound better. A lot of Zoom Tracks is synthesized, by the way.

True, but it's done in a different way, plus contains more real instruments over top of the synthesized parts. Midi is midi, no matter how you look at it, and it would be pointless to try and enhance that since it's only computer generated sound.
And you are correct, Johnny. I hadn't listend to Rad... err... I mean OST in a while and forgot that that's how it was on the CD.

I wouldn't be so sure. I can't detect any instruments on that disc that are blatantly acoustic, though I might be wrong. All of the other soundtracks are the same way, with the possible exception of Black Disc.

You have to remember that ZOOM TRACKS is an arranged soundtrack, meaning that they took the original midis and used real instruments and synthesizers instead of computer bleeps and sounds.
Just compare PLEASURE OF TENSION's game version with the ZOOM TRACKS version and you'll see what I mean.

He is Correctamoondo 8bit.
And if you take the original zoom tracks CD, and compare it with the remastered zoom tracks, you can really notice all these neat bass and digital stereo enhancements. This guy does magic, even if synth enhanced.
Now for the new project, this is awesome man, good to hear your shining up another diamond.
This is really tough, because I'd love to hear both the black disc and midi 5 get your magical treament. But for now I think the black disk sounds fine in terms of clouds and bass touch ups, and all that jazz. I'd love to really hear what you can do to beef up "Pleasure of tension" and "Theme of Snatcher" on 5.0 in terms of all the bass magic you do to your remasters, if you choose that. You really do an amazing job man, I give you ninja hugs.
But yet again... to hear policenauts tracks touched up and on stereo-oids, it would be like having sex with 2 redheaded lesbians at once. Mmmmm lesbians...
Yikes!

I'd really like to see the Kojima Black disc, i like the Snatcher tunes on there and plus, if you would also be reworking the Policenauts tunes, that would truely be awsome
