Damn straight. I'll be all over this one.

Certainly does... some of my favorite composers on there, with Mitsuda being numero uno.

Having trouble imagining what some of these tracks will sound like though.

Motoaki Furukawa kicks ass! He remixed some of the music for the PC Engine version of Snatcher and even did some original stuff for the Kojima Red and Black (the latter which were included as alternate ending themes in the Saturn Policenauts).
