Limited 180 gram maroon (oxblood) vinyl LP pressing in deluxe outer jacket includes obi strip and poster featuring the original Japanese artwork. Continuing their exclusive partnership with SEGA, Data Discs are delighted to announce their vinyl release of Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (or The Super Shinobi II, as it is known in Japan). 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. 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 electronic music in general.
