Brave Wave’s Panzer Dragoon Saga arrangement album can be preordered now

In mid-December last year Brave Wave announced that they would be releasing a Panzer Dragoon Saga arrangement album titled “Resurrection: Panzer Dragoon Saga 20th Anniversary Arrangement“. Well, now it’s almost here!

What’s really interesting is that the arrangement is done by the original soundtrack’s composer Saori Kobayashi. In an interview with The Verge Kobayashi has stated that: “I was able to achieve the kind of music that I wanted to do 20 years ago“.

Also present on this new arrangement is Eri Ito, Triforce Quartet, and Maho Azuma.

The vinyl release will be a 2LP on lilac colored vinyl. It will be housed in a gatefold jacket with artwork by Katsumi Yokota with additional design by Cory Schmitz. The release will include a booklet with essays and liner notes by people who worked on the game as well as archival artwork.

The release will be priced at $35/€35 and is scheduled to release early April 2018. It can be preordered via Fangamer for people in the US here and via BigWax for people in EU/RoW here.

Not much was revealed other than the title announcement, where it was briefly stated that this title will join the previously announced Out Run OST for Data Discs’ 2016 lineup. A screenshot of the full (albeit brief) announcement can be seen below:
