Huh, one reason why these "remasters" of the prototype songs might sound so poor is because they may not have been remastered at all! Apparently someone was able to make a perfect recreation of the Launch Base Act 1 song be kind of "demaking" the song from the Nov 3 1993 Prototype -- changing the instruments to their default settings and removing a couple of audio channels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amLQuJJGp44

This kind of implies that these are simply just songs from an even earlier prototype, potentially the one sent to the folks that worked on the original PC Collection judging from Carnival Night Zone. That would mean this is kinda more of a lost media type of situation, which is a little fascinating. But also rude. These songs belong in the museum part of the game, not the actual game itself! I wanted to hear completed versions of the prototype songs, not ones that are even more unfinished! Imagine if the other zones had their unfinished counterparts too, like Angel Island or Mushroom Hill from the Nov 3 1993 Prototype. Actually, I'd be curious to hear just how unfinished the other zones would've been from this theoretical older prototype...

(Also dang if that were the case, why is it this older prototype that's getting used for things and not the more completed Nov 3 one? I kinda want to hear how PC versions of those Carnival Night Zone songs could've turned out, too)
