(Super NES)
Composers: Kazuhiko Uehara, Masanari Iwata, Tomoya Tomita, Saiko Miki, Takahito Uenishi & Nobuyuki Akena
Never played this game, but it contains a variation of one of my favorite Gradius songs, so here it is.
Festival in Space
Time: 1:19
Size: 1.83 MB
2 loops with fadeout
Comment: This is the Mechanical Base music from Gradius 3, remade to sound happier and more like a Japanese festival song. I prefer the original version, but this is a novelty if you like this song as much as I do.

JOURNEY TO SILIUS
(NES)
Composer: Naoki Kodaka
Naoki Kodaka was a game music god.

Game Ending Songs Extravaganza
Boss Theme
Time: 1:32
Size: 2.12 MB
2 loops with fadeout
Comment: The hard-hitting boss theme is okay when heard in-game, but it's not as much to listen to outside of it. If you haven't heard any of this game's music, try the other stuff first and go to this only if you want more.

Ending Theme
Time: 1:25

Automatic ending
Comment: Final credits and cinema scene music. Not really my favorite song in this game, though some people like it.

Intro Theme
Time: 1:07
Size: 1.54 MB
Automatic ending
Comment: This song is from the intro story cinema, and like the boss music, it works in the game, but isn't as meaningful outside of it. Though one very interesting thing to note is that the last part of it is clearly taken from the Terminator theme, which this game was supposed to be based on until Sunsoft lost the license.

Size: 2.80 MB

Level 2: Underground Concourse
Time: 3:42
Size: 5.09 MB
1 loop with fadeout
Comment: This is the slowest and longest song in the soundtrack. It's well over 3 minutes long before it loops.

Comment: This is my favorite Journey to Silius song.

JURASSIC PARK
(Super NES)
Composer: Jonathan Dunn
I confess that part of my reason for being able to finish this game was its excellent soundtrack. A combination dance, jungle, techno, and ambient. It's a huge departure from the symphonic movie score, but it still works.
Building Area
Time: 4:07
Size: 5.67 MB
2 loops with fadeout
Comment: If you're walking around the overworld and get near a building, this music will take over. It's the song that's closest to dance/tencho in style.
Rating:
Interior Area
Time: 3:56
Size: 5.42 MB
2 loops with fadeout
Comment: This is the most different of all of these songs. It's only heard in the 3D interior areas. It's very subdued and ominous, and sounds kind of like something out of a Terminator movie.
Rating:
Jungle Area
Time: 4:54
Size: 6.75 MB
2 loops with fadeout
Comment: The main overworld theme. This is used mostly for when you're deep in the jungle, not near any buildings, mountains, or the ocean. Has a jungle beat and some ambient sound effects.
Rating:
Mountain Area
Time: 4:44
Size: 6.52 MB
2 loops with fadeout
Comment: If you're on or near a mountain, you'll hear this song. My favorite of this game's soundtrack. A melancholy techno/jungle song with flutes and other good stuff.
Rating:
Ocean Area
Time: 1:55
Size: 2.65 MB
2 loops with fadeout
Comment: Soft, short, and sad, this is only heard when you're in the small area near the ocean and the ship.

JURASSIC PARK 2: THE CHAOS CONTINUES
(Super NES)
Composers: Dean Evans & Jonathan Dunn
I didn't play much of this game. I was disappointed in it and I preferred the open-ended exploration of the original SNES Jurassic Park game to the generic sidescrolling aspect of this one. (Not that I don't like sidescrollers, but this one was just rather blah.) Anyway, the first level had a really good theme song, though, so here it is.
Dark Jungle
Time: 5:27
Size: 7.50 MB
1 loop with fadeout
Comment: Not bad at all, but it's the only song in the game I really cared for.
