MANA (Secret of Mana Recreated) 2xLP

$49.99

Limit 2 per order. Each variant is limited to 500 copies.

Mana Wave Media is proud to present our first original:

MANA: A Secret of Mana recreation by Jammin' Sam Miller!

Featuring licensed art from Mana series artist Hiroo Isono and brand new artwork from Cathy Kwan (Symphony of Zeal, Mondo's Shazam) adorning a gatefold jacket in gold foil alongside royal crest themed inner sleeves.

Jammin' Sam Miller has worked painstakingly over the course of months, sourcing and recreating the lush sounds of the world of Mana in a modern, uncompressed state. These covers were recreated from the original HEX data by Sam, note by note by ear, researching and tracking down the original sample patches and hardware available at the time and translating them to a modern studio environment unhindered by the compression of the SNES.

All tracks can be listened to on Sam's YouTube channel (please note, his recreations are constantly being tweaked and improved, so minor differences from the final songs may be present). (And each and every track plays at the correct speed, guaranteed.)

Once the pre-order period ends, we put our one time order in, and this deluxe 2XLP set won't be pressed again, by anyone.
