Creator's comments:
Armored Core. High speed mecha action. Few games make my adrenaline pump as hard as Armored Core. There is something magical about building your own machine to take on the world. The music in the games was always a big part of that for me.
I was introduced to the series with Armored Core 4 and it was through the music I felt I had to explore the rest of the series. What I discovered was an amazing repertoire ranging from techno to rock and even orchestral. Kota Hoshino's music especially floored me as some of the most unique and appealing music I had heard in a video game. The amazing vocal lines, the no-nonsense rock, the club beats, the bombastic choirs, it all had an incredible personality while still working within the game. This was music I wanted to show my respect for, so I set out to create a tribute album.
After four months of sporadic work and a successful preview release at Comiket78, the album is now complete. 11 pieces of music arranging 15 tracks from the Armored Core series. All made in Propellerhead's Reason and Record with a little help from a guitar, a bass and some great vocalist friends.
I'm incredibly proud of the end result. I hope you like this album as much as I liked creating it. Thank you for listening.

SPECIAL THANKS:
Kota Hoshino & FromSoftware, Johanna, Don, Audun, Dave, Larry, Deia, Jill, Judges, OCR, VGMdb, AFFT.

The armored core website says I can download this for free from itunes. How?

I can't find it. I'd like to download it as an album and not just one massive clump.

[StoneMonkWisdom]

@Antlion1001 I'm unfamiliar with itunes so I don't know how exactly. From that one blogspot armoredcoreonline page... It appears that you can download the individual tracks. Either left clicking or right clicking, save-as... Those are MP3 files of course.

[abcdefghilihgfedcba]

how come when I open this page the video starts at 19:50 anyway?

[StoneMonkWisdom]

@abcdefghilihgfedcba That's weird, and I don't quite know why that would be, however.. the first place I'd look would be 'current site issues" on youtube to see if it's mentioned OR if it is mentioned by other youtubers in the forums.

[XINKAI]

Ok for now on when I finish Armored Core 4 again i'm going to play is Goodbye,Thinker

[TheRealMaverion]

@InfinityRabbit Never has there been a more truthful statement than this. I swear I spent like 20 hours just fine tuning and switching parts back on Nine Breaker. Easily the best mech game I've ever played.

@abcdefghilihgfedcba

That is so weird. The first time i watched this it started at 0:00, but after that it started at like 21:00.

[bobisawsome12345]

the site says that Over the Pain doesnt exist and i wanna load it so WTF

[bobisawsome12345]

this is amazing....i remember the day i got my first AC game when i was 11 and it was last raven oddly enough i startef the game and was like holy crap its amazing i soon realized it also was the hardest game i had ever played but after a year i was good at it......i remember when i found out it was a series at the first chance i got AC 3 and was like wow the music is amazing

[orkkilla5589]

they shouldve put: remember, today, and for the answer in there DX

[EntertainmentIsGood]

Shining Highway!!!

[AnosouMattias]

@Sikayda I'm probably not gonna do another Armored Core album for a while, sorry! I am working on other projects though. :)

[LiontamerVGF]

@Antlion1001 The Armored Core Online news website is just wrong, that's all. You go to answer.ocremix.org, it says "DOWNLOAD" at the top left of the page, and there's the option to DL the ZIP file or (preferably) download it via torrent.

[Sikayda]

Nice!, tracks 06, 08 and 11 were the sweetest. If the creators of this soundtrack see this comment and plan on doing another tribute album might you consider doing a remix of these Armored Core Songs, Artificial Sky Tribal, Opinion of the way and 'F'. Those three are my favorite AC tracks.
