It also includes liner notes with Sakuraba’s own commentary on every track—a feature sure to delight fans. This album comes highly recommended not only for video game music fans but also for fans of progressive rock and electronic music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcangelo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419054924065,"sku":"4988044140387","price":3300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988044140387.jpg?v=1788219928","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4988044140387","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
