Taito Arcade Classics Vol 4: Darius II

The clear vinyl really pops under the light, and the audio quality is crisp enough to pick out every laser blast. It’s a solid pressing that brings the arcade experience home.

The bass on this pressing is surprisingly punchy for a vinyl, really brings those classic arcade sound effects to life. Spinning it while reading the liner notes about the game’s development adds a whole new layer of appreciation.

The clear vinyl looks fantastic under the light, and the pressing captures those chiptune melodies with surprising warmth. My only minor gripe is the sleeve art feels a bit plain for such a cool soundtrack.
