Winglancer is a freeware shoot-em-up with an excellent soundtrack composed by Japanese musician ABFUKU, who's well known for his great MIDI transcriptions and piano arrangements. His website is here - http://www2c.biglobe.ne.jp/~abfuku/ - I recommend you visit!
These were made back in January 2005. They're transcriptions of the 2-Channel MSX versions rather than the wonderfully harmonised Windows versions - I had plans to transcribe those in future as well but to date I haven't got around to it. Still, he accomplishes more with two simultaneous notes than many composers manage with a full arsenal of polyphony and sounds, IMO. The original tracks are available on ABFUKU's site.
These are also the last old sequences that I have left to upload - there's a few others but they plain suck and aren't going up unless they get updated (not likely.) These may also be the last vg sequences I post here for a while now. I've expended a great amount of energy transcribing video game songs - over the last 15 months in particular, though it isn't doing me a great deal of good at this point. They're a dime a dozen. I need to devote my grey matter to 'bigger things' that people can really appreciate. I've been accused of being a waste of talent on more than one occasion, and for all I know it is probably true.
Hope you enjoy these. Should have some new material coming up in future (famicompo is on the horizon!)

i'd love to see that too, particularly the Windows version - that's my favourite Winglancer tune. ABFUKU did do his own piano arrangement of Area 1 but i don't think he has done any others to date.
