Takayuki Iwai, Tetsuya Ahibata
Star Gladiator 2 ~Nightmare of Bilstein~ Original Sound Track

Album JP 1998 on Suleputer label
Soundtrack (Soundtrack)

One disc soundtrack for the arcade/Sega Dreamcast game Star Gladiator 2 ~Nightmare of Bilstein~ Original Sound Track which was released outside of Japan as "Plasma Sword ~Nightmare of Bilstein~. Track titles are in English on back cover, but are presented in all sorts of different ways with uppercase and lower case letters which the tracklising above does not recreate in order to abide by discogs' capitalization rules. Do note the ending themes with a period before the number at their end are correct as those periods do appear in the track names, It should be noted that in the credit roll of the actual game Takayuki Iwai is listed as the "Main Music Composer" while Tetsuya Shibata is listed as the "Sub Music Composer." It hasn't been confirmed if this means Iwai wrote the stage themes (the longer, two/three minute pieces at the start of the disc) and Shibata wrote all the ending themes (or if this just a reference to one of them being the lead composer and the other being the co-composer) but this would make sense as these two types of tracks are very different from one another. Additionally, the sticker on the front of the album indicates that it comes with one of two guitar picks: a while one with series protagonist Hayato (picture included) or a pink one with B. Hayato (Black Hayato), an evil clone of Hayato created by the franchise's antagonist after being defeated in the first game. The idea behind the pick inclusion is due to this is a very guitar driven soundtrack.
