Perfect Collection Ys

Find all the musical magic of the saga Ys with this double cult CD: Perfect Collection Ys, an iconic compilation edited by King Records in collaboration with Nihon Falcom.

This edition brings together many arrangements of mythical music from the early Ys episodes, in the style characteristic of Falcom productions of the early 1990s: epic synths, rock flights, melodic melodies and typical sounds of the golden age of Japanese game music.

An essential album for Falcom fans, Japanese video game soundtrack collectors and retrogaming fans.
