Data Discs have collaborated with the legendary composer, Yuzo Koshiro to bring us the soundtrack from The Revenge of Shinobi, an illustrious and timeless composition from the 16-bit era. The music is from the 1989 game and is a unique hybrid combining Western dance music with Japanese overtones.

This was the first piece which Koshiro created for SEGA. Using the concepts and techniques he developed with Shinobi, Koshiro went on to create the memorable soundtrack for the Streets of Rage trilogy which would be familiar to many childhoods.

Given the limited hardware of the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis, Koshiro’s efforts on The Revenge of Shinobi is a testament to the ingenuity and melodic dexterity of the composer.

The record comes packaged in a 425sgm outer sleeve, with heavyweight inner sleeve and featuring original artwork sourced from the SEGA archives in Japan on double-sided lithographic prints.
