There’s a direct Dropbox download link in the description of each YouTube video for HQ listening pleasure (and respective album cover art)!

Just to make sure you're aware! Have fun!

Thanks for the feedback! And well done on the custom tape as well on your part btw! My hope is that someone somewhere will eventually take the music from the tapes and ‘reorchestrate’ them if you will for modern ears :)

Man that is pure dedication right there, must have taken big planning and editing to get everything just right.

Thanks! I actually tried to do this once about a year before my ultimate attempt here and I held off initially because I didn't have enough sound material from the multiple language tape uploads available on YouTube at he time. The only reason I really decided to knuckle down and do it properly (even bought the Khufu game just for completeness' sake) was thanks to whoever finally uploaded the German language tape of Atmosfear Classic.

The hardest part was synching to ensure minimal "echoing" and just to get the most comprehensive representation of the original music as possible. There's even one part of the French language version I think that briefly uses sound from the Zombie sequel tape near the beginning for some reason. I also didn't even know about the extended music segment towards the end until it popped up on The Harbingers second booster tape.
