notes: 'CD release of ALR-6012. Most likely based on the the original Japanese version
  rather than the remixed US version.

  Limited edition digipack.

  Notes from Parent Album:

  Only track 1 and 5 are remixes of music/sound effects from the arcade games Circus
  and Space Invaders respectively. The music and sound effects used from the games
  were not recorded from the arcade cabinets, but recreated on a synthesizer. The
  group did try to record music from the Circus game for track 1, but as they couldn''t
  get a good transition to the next track, the idea was scrapped.
