After forever and a half, you can now download THE ENTIRE SOUNDTRACK, plus extra tracks! I’m incredibly happy to see it done. Took a few hours to finalize everything, but it’s over – they’re all downloadable right now on the Golden Sun Soundtrack page.All files are, as usual, encoded in 80kbps MP3. I’ve listened to them, and they sound great – way better than what I had previously. So, I hope you’ll like them as well.
There are some people, however, I should thank for introducing me to this quick, high quality method of getting the soundtrack. The first is holyice7, who taught me how to take CaitSith2′s game audio rips and make them into lossless WAV format, making the entire “recording” part of the recording moot. I, of course, must thank CaitSith2 and give him credit for ripping the files initially. The soundtrack wouldn’t have been done for MONTHS if not for his rips and holy’s tips. Thanks to both of you, truly. I do believe thanking Cindy from Golden Sun Realm goes without saying – she made the original soundtrack, and since then we’ve become good friends, even if her track naming isn’t spot on. ;)
And yes, holy, I can’t wait to see what you do with your own soundtrack that you’re making ;)…
So, now not only will they be linked to on Golden Sun Realm as originally planned, but as not originally planned may be used for a jukebox project by Max of Golden Sun Syndicate. GSS is the other Golden Sun authority on the ‘net, and I hear frequent talk of collaborations between GSR and GSS, even a possible merge, though I can’t speak for the webmasters at all. However, it seems like the soundtrack will be put to good use!
And don’t worry about my bandwidth – I’ve got so much I don’t know what to do with it, and unless I suddenly become one of the internet’s top Web 2.0 sites, I won’t be running out anytime soon. Download as much as you want (but don’t KILL me). Oh, and if you really don’t want to waste your time downloading each track one by one, go get yourself a healthy serving of Firefox with some DownThemAll on the side.
UPDATE: Now you can download it via BitTorrent! Go to the Soundtrack’s page and download it either from Demonoid.com or from The Jason Effect – both are the same. PLEASE SEED THE TORRENT!
And lastly, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy…

I don’t play Golden Sun. I’ve seen someone play it before though. It looks pretty good.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ve been looking all over for a good golden sun soundtrack, having gotten addicted to the games and the music, and found yours. Yours was so good I decided to wait for you to finish, and it was sooooooooooooooooooo worth it. Um… Thank you again.
I gota say, good job on the whole sound track. WHen I owned the game, after I beat it I had unlock every song in the game, and I used to carry around my gameboy sp just to listen to those tracks ( Before I bought a GBAMP)
thank alot i was waiting for this to happen. to have the GOLDEN SUN soundtrack. Thanks alot
Omg, I have been waiting so long for this. And it’s even in mp3 format. I’ve actually put all of these on my mp3 player (even though everything is like 100mb it’s worth it). GOLDEN SUN RULES, BEYAH!!!!!!
You are incredible and full of win.
Thank you so much for all your hard work in bringing this to us. The quality is really good (and I’m just happy your link to this – one of the only places this soundtrack is posted on the web – works!).
Thank you again. ^_^
wow! you rule! I looked around everywhere like you- thank you so much for this soundtrack, so much nostalgy in it ^^
thank you so much!
I’ve been waiting about 3 or 4 years for a high quality Golden Sun soundtrack. The fact that it’s in mp3 format is a huge plus! So to you and your contributors, I say thank you. :D
Thanks for the soundtrack, it’s so great to have it in decent quality.
But I still wonder why the Mercury Lighthouse theme is namend Suhalla Gate.:-)
Don’t you have WAV or any better quality files? Cause the 80 kbps ones sound awfully bad. :/
Agreed with Terry. Is there really no chance of posting better sounding files?
