Contra 4 Original Soundtrack

Angela please can you reupload the Contra 4 soundtrack to a diferent uploader? I have trouble with megaupload. May I suggest www.mediafire.com?

Thanks for the Contra 4 Jungle theme on Hard Mode. I loved it.
Thanks again

Indeed, the Smash Bros. show at MAGFest was excellent, and the DoD Contra IV arrangement was great too. I'm glad that Jake is getting so much attention for his work. His past soundtracks were awesome too, but now that he's done a really big name title that's a great game to boot (because, well, most people don't want to play Rugrats and M&M games, hehe), he had people bugging him all weekend for autographs. :)

Also: BACON :P

Just a heads up incase no one has heard yet

Contra Dual Spirits (Contra 4 in Japan) has an official soundtrack cd announced

Sadly, it is only available for preorders within Japan on Konami's internet shop, and will go out of print after a short period of time

Info here

Might be old news, just thought i'd post incase someone missed it

just hoping for a better cover.

i dont like that generic look of the japanese one. thats rare~

Maybe I'm alone, but C4's OST didn't impress me.  It was okay in terms of composition, but it didn't bring the rawk needed for Contra.  Everytime I play I game, I listen to something with some actual kick. Granted were talking about the DS in terms of sound capabilities, but AY, virt is not.

A Japanese-only soundtrack for an American developed and composed game?

Ninety Nine Nights had a Western composer, abysmal sales and still got a soundtrack in Japan (only).
I think ignoring game pack-ins like premium boxes the likelyhood of any game (regardless of developer or composer) getting a soundtrack release is by far the highest in Japan (there are plenty releases of "oversea" game soundtracks there since some time).

I was just talking to Tomm Hulett, the producer of Contra 4, about this soundtrack release.

It is only going to be available with preorders of the game; it will not be available separate on Konamistyle. So likely, Kahori will not have it (I hope I am wrong, but it's not looking that way).

The only way to get it is to preorder the game somewhere. Tomm told me he is doing that himself, so if the producer of the game has to preorder his own copy, well...

He also told me something about the tracklisting that is sure to please, but he made me promise that I couldn't tell.

Well, that's too bad.  I guess I'll have to think about how badly I want it.

Kahori has a spacer up, 6000 yen.

Haha, wow.  I'd been following this thread (with previous posts even).  I guess I got a little behind.

So, has anyone had a chance to listen to the soundtrack CD?  Any opinions?  Was it remastered in anyway?  How is that new arrangement of "Harbor"?  Same as the one from MAGfest?

Wait, the shooter queen didn't order this? Not to be a jackass but I figured you'd jump on ordering this because of the soundtrack.

It's still nice to have as Jake's first album.  There's a nice bio both in English and Japanese about him.  It will be great to have him sign it.

My impressions of the album just went live:
