Thirty-eight unnamed tracks from the Mega Drive port of Compile's dungeon-crawling RPG — the series that spawned Puyo Puyo.

Madou Monogatari (Sorcery Saga) follows the young witch Arle as she descends through a magical tower for her graduation exam. The Mega Drive's Yamaha YM2612 FM synthesis gives these compositions a warm, distinctive character that differs from the PC-98 and Game Gear versions.
Thirty-eight tracks for a dungeon crawler is generous — suggesting unique music for many individual floors. The 2016 release date for a Mega Drive game means this is a preservation effort — extracting and archiving the complete audio from a cartridge that never saw a proper soundtrack release.
Compile's composers created memorable melodies for Arle's adventures, and these thirty-eight numbered tracks preserve that work even without the original track names attached.
