The track listing is bare, just numbered tracks with no individual names, which makes this feel like a continuous dramatic performance rather than a standard album. The music weaves through narration and voice acting, scoring the Three Kingdoms saga like a radio play.
No platform listed, which means this was a standalone CD release. Mid-90s Japanese drama CDs had this specific production quality, full orchestral stabs mixed with synthesized backing, theatrical and earnest. For fans of Koei's Three Kingdoms games who want to hear those war stories told out loud with a full score behind them.
