DATA003: Shinobi III

With music composed by Hirofumi Murasaki, Morihiko Akiyama and Masayuki Nagao, Shinobi III is a relentless bass-driven soundtrack which, upon its release in 1993, pushed the Mega Drive’s audio capabilities to its limit. Its strong percussive elements are something of a technical marvel and, like all of the greatest soundtracks of the 16bit era, showcases the ingenuity and resolve of game composers when faced with extremely limited hardware.

180g vinyl packaged in a 400gsm matt finish sleeve with traditional OBI strip. All copies also include a foldout poster featuring the original Japanese artwork, sourced from the SEGA archives.

Available in the following editions:

• 180g Oxblood
• 180g Black

With audio sourced directly from a Japanese Model 1 Mega Drive (AV Intelligent Terminal, VA5 with stereo output mod) and painstakingly remastered for vinyl, Shinobi III should appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in video game culture, FM synthesis or early electronic music in general.

Note: Please allow up to 1 week for your order to ship. All remaining copies ship in a resealable polypropylene sleeve (i.e: not shrink wrap) with the record packed behind the sleeve to avoid seam splits during transit.
