Brave Wave brings us the Street Fighter II The Definitive Soundtrack

Street Fighter music fans, rejoice! Street Fighter II The Definitive Soundtrack is now available, brought to you by Brave Wave Productions!

This collection features all of the music from Street Fighter II (+ some sound effects !) and it is available digitally and in a 3-Disc CD set. The crazy part is it’s also available on Vinyl, but as of writing this blog post, all Vinyl sets are already sold out!

Now I know what you’re all thinking “does this set include Guile’s theme?” and the answer is an ominous ” Yes, yes! ” Being the definitive release of this soundtrack, the set includes all the music from the both CPS-1 and CPS-2 boards. As a matter of fact, you can listen to a couple of tracks from each of them, including–you guessed it–Guile’s theme:

Guile’s Theme (CPS-1)

If you want to read a little more about the creation process of this definitive soundtrack and the people involved, Brave Wave has an insightful page just for you. Here’s a quote that caught my eye:

[…] our release of Street Fighter II The Definitive Soundtrack has been restored and remastered with great attention to detail, under supervision and with final approval from original composer Yoko Shimomura.

Again, you can pick this up right now on their store page , and even listen to a couple more sample tracks while you wait for your download to finish or order to ship (CD sets ship on December 12). Enjoy!
