Listening to RE1 music while I work today, and like, it's a shame that the Basement Music in Director's Cut is so fucked up because the majority of the rest of the score is actually pretty good. Not all of it, there's for sure a few other... *questionable* tracks, but a lot of it I really enjoy. - ThreadSky

the basement music for the dual shock version sounded like a drunken clown that got fired from his job

Yuuup.
A favorite of mine is the save room theme. It has this jolly, cozy tune to it, but it feels like it's *slightly off* and things just aren't right, and ends up being unsettling the more you listen to it.

I always liked this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYQdj-8yH3c

I was about to post this one too as a genuinely good track from this version. I only played the dual shock version once many years ago, and I can recall this track perfectly to this day.

Ohh yeah this is another good one!

The basement music is honestly so bad it's good. If I remember right, the Plant 42 music is a little wonky too.

Most of the boss tracks are fucked up, they’re probably the ones actually written by Mamoru Samuragochi as opposed to his ghost writer.

Although I’ve seen that people are pretty sure that the basement track sounding fucked up is a technical problem rather than a compositional one, like it’s using the wrong keys in the coding or something. It “fixed” actually works really well.

It's speculated that it used the wrong instruments in the MIDI file. Like in MIDI files you can just choose what instrument each sound channel uses, and for some reason trumet was used. Maybe it was the ghostwriter trolling Mamoru Samuragochi.

I love everything about the tracks. I feel like even as messed up as they are, I think that combined with the voice acting is wonderfully silly given the content of the game.

I think it’s using the wrong midi voice tracks. Iirc MIDI systems around this time had slight variations so if you used the wrong set of voices, you can really change the sound. People theorize this is what happened to the soundtrack for Ancient Roman as well.

My first experience with RE1 was the Directors Cut (Non GH/Non DS). I had no idea the basement track was bad, I just thought it was odd.
