That comment was made as a response to the idea that there are some legal issues behind the delay in the release of official soundtracks for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive Sonic games. That's not to say that I don't believe there aren't any legal issues involved, but I just found it odd that they could release a "Best of Sonic" soundtrack featuring various audio tracks from the 16-bit games.

Recently heard the gamerip of Caduceus 2 aka Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 and it's pretty darn good! Not the greatest work ever, but it's as good as his later Cave soundtracks. Definitely deserved a soundtrack release, and hopefully Hospital (the spiritual successor) is also handled by Namiki (and Kamikura, especially if that awesome last operation theme is his).

Yeah, I was delighted with UTK2.  Namiki's score was definitely one of the highlights of the game.  His take on the "G.U.I.L.T" theme in Encroaching Shadows is so, so good.
