Each track was recorded at the exact same tempo as its original counterpart so that it will perfectly lay on top of the game.\nThere's hardly anything that can be said about Contra (or its soundtrack) that hasn't already been said. It's an integral part of almost every video game enthusiast's life and its soundtrack is among the most energetic and memorable of the entire NES library. This is one of the most enjoyable soundtracks that I've covered so far.\"\nDusty Zahrt - Drums, Guitars, Bass, Production, Mixing, Mastering", "organizations": [ { "names": { "en": "Dusty Zahrt", "ja": "Dusty Zahrt", "ja-latn": "Dusty Zahrt" }, "role": "publisher" }, { "link": "org/965", "names": { "en": "Bandcamp", "ja": "Bandcamp", "ja-latn": "Bandcamp" }, "role": "retailer" } ], "performers": [ { "link": "artist/26739", "names": { "en": "Dusty Zahrt" } } ], "picture_full": "https://media.vgm.io/albums/74/69247/69247-1498673462.jpg", "picture_small": "https://medium-media.vgm.io/albums/74/69247/69247-1498673462.jpg", "picture_thumb": "https://thumb-media.vgm.io/albums/74/69247/69247-1498673462.jpg", "platforms": [ "NES (Famicom)" ], "products": [ { "link": "product/2093", "names": { "en": "Contra", "ja": "魂斗羅", "ja-latn": "Contra" } } ], "publish_format": "Doujin/Indie", "publisher": { "names": { "en": "Dusty Zahrt", "ja": "Dusty Zahrt", "ja-latn": "Dusty Zahrt" }, "role": "publisher" }, "related": [ { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/29509", "names": { "en": "Vomitron 2002 Demo", "ja": "Vomitron 2002 Demo", "ja-latn": "Vomitron 2002 Demo" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "SIR019", "link": "album/7044", "names": { "en": "Contra Band", "ja": "Contra Band", "ja-latn": "Contra Band" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/14224", "names": { "en": "ContraBand", "ja": "ContraBand", "ja-latn": "ContraBand" }, "type": "game" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/31120", "names": { "en": "Contra", "ja": "Contra", "ja-latn": "Contra" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/57470", "names": { "en": "Contra Surf", "ja": "Contra Surf", "ja-latn": "Contra Surf" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/75571", "names": { "en": "Contra Arranged Soundtrack", "ja": "Contra Arranged Soundtrack", "ja-latn": "Contra Arranged Soundtrack" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "MOND-106", "link": "album/69825", "names": { "en": "Contra - Original Video Game Soundtrack", "ja": "Contra - Original Video Game Soundtrack", "ja-latn": "Contra - Original Video Game Soundtrack" }, "type": "game" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/124712", "names": { "en": "Contra Guitar Playthrough", "ja": "Contra Guitar Playthrough", "ja-latn": "Contra Guitar Playthrough" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "N/A", "link": "album/124165", "names": { "en": "Contra (WOFS Remix)", "ja": "Contra (WOFS Remix)", "ja-latn": "Contra (WOFS Remix)" }, "type": "doujin" }, { "catalog": "RSKO-32", "link": "album/98419", "names": { "en": "Contra Soundtrack (Arcade Version)", "ja": "魂斗羅 サウンドトラック (アーケード版)", "ja-latn": "Contra Soundtrack (Arcade Version)" }, "type": "game" } ], "release_date": "2016-01-11", "release_events": [], "release_price": { "currency": "USD", "price": 6.0 }, "reprints": [], "stores": [ { "link": "http://dustyzahrt.bandcamp.com/album/contra", "name": "Bandcamp" } ], "vgmdb_link": "https://vgmdb.net/album/69247?perpage=99999", "votes": 0 }
