A good soundtrack that was skipped by Namco,
never to receive an official release. One
reason might have been the fact that the music
was playing through the PS synth instead of
Redbook Audio or XA, and therefore the sound
quality could have been considered as "lower".
If that's the case, well, it was still a wrong
decision! The instruments are actually quite
great, and they never destroy any compositions.

If you're not familiar with Namco's history,
Dragon Valor is actually related to the old
Dragon Buster series. The main references are
the dragons (hard to guess!), but also the main
character's name (Clovis) and, most surprisingly,
a musical similarity in the track "Raxis Castle".

As stated, everything was recorded from the console
through Line-In, except the two "Opening Movie"
tracks, which were extracted from the STR's.

Feedback and requests are welcome.
Enjoy !
