Three more Tecnosoft indie re-issues/arranges:

Lost Technology Plus (appears to be a re-issue of the re-issue of Thunderforce V OST + another disc with arranges and possibly new tracks):

All nice looking stuff, just be advised that if you order from Kahori you're paying an extra 1000 yen per album over what it costs in Japanese shops.  There's also another new album out from Factory Noise & AG that Kahori isn't stocking, but I'm unsure of what game the content is related to.  I actually have all 4 albums coming from another source, so I hope to find out soon enough.

That Lost Technology + album doesn't really look like a "cool" release... when you've bought the previous one.

Broken Thunder is also re-released with altered tracks.

You mean a second Broken Thunder release from Factory Noise & AG after the one they already released for that game (FNAG-0003)?

Because there are 2 releases of ThunderForce V (Lost Technology) from Factory Noise & AG along the one (or those?) already released long time ago on the Technosoft label (which also released a Broken Thunder soundtrack).

Yep. Though, the tracklist doesn't suggest any changes. Quite frankly, I'm a tad baffled with all these re-releases.

Interesting, what's altered about them?

As far as all the re-releases, I'd attribute it to the demand in Japan.

Yeah, I'm picking up Wanderings I with the copy of Technosoft Game Music Collection Vol. 3 ~ Thunder Force III that VGMWorld had available. Listening to my homemade rip of the TF3 soundtrack helped me to justify my most expensive album purchase yet. I'm skeptical about the Wanderings album as I don't recognize any of the song titles from each game's soundtrack release that are listed for it.

None of these post-TF5 offerings have been very enjoyable for me. The signature Technosoft sound that I love so much ceased to be after Thunderforce 4.

Frick, I just realized that the "Wanderings I" CD is just a re-issue of a CD I already have called "Wanderings" that was released on another indie label No Brand Sounds.  I thought the tracklisting looked familiar, the only difference is the last 3 "renewal" tracks weren't on the original CD.  It's a nice CD for anyone interested and those 5 "FM Sound" tracks are actually unused tracks from Thunderforce IV.  The only thing is I'm almost positive none of the tracks are from Thunderforce III, IV or Elemental Master and they are all (besides the five I mentioned) Hyakutarou Tsukumo originals.  Either that, or the soundboard that is used makes the tracks sound totally unfamiliar to me.

The tracklist isn't any different, despite what the info says. Maybe some alterations in some of the tracks, I don't know...

Damn, that sucks! I hope the songs are at least decent

Speaking of all the re-releases, I don't see why both ThunderForce III and Blast Wind haven't been re-released yet.  Maybe soon.
