8/10 I like this one! It kind of sounds like a mix of slow jazz and techno. (I really need to get around to buying Planet Robobot sometime)

Aside from the addition of stereo (and not being bound to the limitations of its software), that's actually how it sounds in the arcade board it was originally present on, the PolyGame Master. It was relatively low-spec in comparison to other arcade boards of the time and it had a few different sound boards over various iterations as opposed to using something like redbook audio. At some point, perhaps I'll post one of the later arranges - there's versions of the soundtrack in its own arrange album, for the PS2 port, and most recently dodonpachi DAI-OU-JOU Black Label EXTRA, the most recent port of the game on Xbox 360. That latter one is notorious for the initial port which involved 5pb. taking the code directly from the Arika PS2 port without permission, 5pb. later apologising for how it created such a terrible port. It took CAVE a year after they stepped in more directly to create a port worthy of its subtitle, but because of how bad it really was, Microsoft themselves had to step in! After that point, CAVE would take more direct action in their future arcade ports, making sure that everything released afterwards was much better (including the likes of DAI-FUKKATSU/Resurrection and SaiDaiOuJou) in comparison to DOJBLX's initial release. With that being said, Black Label EXTRA is more than likely the version I'll post next. There's a lot of comparison to the style of Daifukkatsu's vanilla music that you can make in Stage 1 alone - heck, to me it sounds like Mushihime-sama Futari's Stage 5!It may or may not be the compression of the video rather than the actual sound chip being used here, but with the somewhat filtered sound that both songs have, I can't help but be reminded of GBA music a little bit.
