Salamander / Life Force (JU)

Original Notes from Sonic of 8! from
separate packs:

-- original Salamander / L.F. (U) comments --
Track names are used in Salamander -Again- OST,
by Konami Kukeiha Club.

Thunderbolt, Slash Fighter and Combat are
unused tracks on Salamander, but used in
japanese version of Life Force (and one
music in Salamander for MSX).

There are a lot of unused musics and
jingles here.
Without M1 VGM, I never discovered these
hidden tracks!

2.00 2011-04-05 Sonic of 8!: A lot of Unused
 Tracks.

-- original Life Force (J) comments --
Life Force (JP) is a just a graphical hack of
Salamander. Since the name is "Lifeforce", I
prefer "Life Force", because in Japan, there
is a 1985's movie called Lifeforce (but
nothing related to the game).

Don't confuse this pack with the US version
of Life Force! If you want Life Force (US),
you need to download Salamander VGM Pack.

The VGM Pack includes only the original sounds,
and exclusively Unused four musics, that don't
appear in Salamander. Planet Ratis and Unused
Remixes was don't present here. And at all, is
most work for me, and I became in fatigue.

This pack was a DISASTER, with capital letters,
I had a thousand and one problems,
from songs that vgmlpfnd gave me a correct loop
(the *famous?* "!"), and sounded bad, VERY BAD,
desynchronized songs after a loop
*but sounds good with this loop*,
and then came the unused songs in both,
some are variations, others appeared in both
games, and see what order followed,
etc., etc., etc...

At the end for the unused songs I apply
the rule of apply from the first game, and
later the second game (Salamander -> Life
Force (J)).

I almost forgot to mention, before you tell me
"Dario, these packs already had a 2.00 version,
why did you put 1.00 again?", it's simple, to
combine the two version in one single vgm pack.

And I was thinking about doing them separately,
but I didn't feel it was worth it
(in fact when it came to put the Sound IDs in
the notes of each .vgm, I was already lost).

I also added other playlists covering each of
the versions of the games, Salamander,
Life Force JP (although the tag names are
super messed up).
