Virtual-On: Cyber Troopers was created by SEGA and released in 1996 for Arcades. The next year, it was released for both SEGA Saturn and PC. The soundtrack's composed by Kentaro Koyama, , Yuko Iseki & Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. The original soundtrack releases range from December 1999 with CYBER TROOPERS VIRTUAL-ON "ORATORIO TANGRAM" FOR DREAMCAST OFFICIAL SOUND DATA to the most recent, massive six disc Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Official Sound Data 4x6 (which is the version I've obtained). The Sound Data 4x6 consists of four previously released soundtracks: Cyber Troopers "Virtual-On" Original Sound Track, Cyber Troopers Virtual-On "Oratorio Tangram" for Dreamcast Official Sound Data, Cyber Troopers Virtual-On "Force" Official Sound Data - Marsinal and Cyber Troopers Virtual-On "Marz" Official Sound Data. All of which are currently out-of-print at Online Japanese Music Retailers. Correctly tagging each track took some time, the auto-tag function pulled a number of misspelled tracks and others with odd characters. So, I went through each track with VGMdb and named each one with the appropriate title, composer and artist.
The Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Official Sound Data 4x6 Album comes packaged with the Limited Edition Japanese Version of Cyber Troopers Virtual-On for the Xbox 360. Used copies are a bit pricey but new unopened copies of the LE on ebay are going for—drumroll—$350-500(ouch). Thankfully, I was able to track down a good seller willing to part with just the soundtrack and saved some money. I'm not exactly familiar with Cyber Troopers Virtual-On but I like what I hear from the energetic score so far.
