Mondo is proud to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Contra franchise with the premiere Vinyl release of the original soundtrack to the 1992 Super Nintendo sequel: The Alien Wars.Set 3 years after the original, Red Falcon and his legion have returned to Earth, this time with the intent of launching a full-scale war against it's inhabitants. It's up to Bill and Lance, our heroes to scale walls, ride motorcycles, and even cling to soaring missiles in an attempt to defeat the onslaught.The music of Contra 3: The Alien Wars is epic to say the least - the looping sequences of each level are longer, taking full advantage of the new audio capabilities available to the composers on the Super Nintendo. In some instances, like with 'Battle Runner' which operates on-the-rails for large stretches, it affords for the composers to have some sequences to go nearly two minutes before a single loop. The sweeping scope of these tracks leads to a chaos absent from the previous chapters of the run-and-gun series, while still obeying the structures and pacing of Video Game music... Just with more complex time signatures, and percussion patterns.

Epic On Every Scale
An amazingly epic soundtrack from Konami's height during the 16-bit era. This soundtrack perfectly complements the frantic action of the game and shows just how incredible the SNES sound chip was. Highly recommended for fans of the original game.

Compra obligada si eres fan
Muy buena presentación de este soundtrack, que siempre desee. En Japón desde las épocas del NES era muy normal ver que sacaran los soundtracks de los juegos (y hasta la fecha lo siguen haciendo), sin embargo, en américa Nintendo pensó que esa práctica no tendría éxito; lamentablemente por esa decisión nos perdimos de poder adquirir en este lado del mundo tanto soundtracks, es por esto que éstas ediciones con una joya. Mi única queja es que no viene descarga digital del audio, pero por otro lado esta bien así el usuario mismo convierte a su gusto (y formato digital de preferencia) el vinilo.
