notes: '"These albums are done to pay homage to great soundtracks while doing very
  little arrangement of the original material; one instrument is recorded for each
  of the channels of the original NES soundtrack--a note-for-note performance of the
  original composition (with the drums embellished a bit). Each track was recorded
  at the exact same tempo as its original counterpart so that it will perfectly lay
  on top of the game.

  There''s hardly anything that can be said about Contra (or its soundtrack) that
  hasn''t already been said. It''s an integral part of almost every video game enthusiast''s
  life and its soundtrack is among the most energetic and memorable of the entire
  NES library. This is one of the most enjoyable soundtracks that I''ve covered so
  far."
