Back in 2021, the legendary composer behind the likes of Metroid, Mother and Tetris, Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka, released the aptly-named 'Lost Tapes' album, providing a never-before-heard sample of his demo tapes from the '80s and '90s.

Record label Super Fuji Discs has announced that a fresh batch of these demo tracks is on the way in the even more aptly-named 'More Lost Tapes', which has an expected release date of this August (thanks, The Ongaku).

The new compilation picks out 50 tracks from the composer's unreleased demo recordings (1981-2010) and packs them into a two-disk CD release. This includes instrumental demos and outtakes for many of the series to which Tanaka-san lent his musical wizardry as well as pre-release tracks for the Pokémon anime.

The album trailer (above) gives a pretty good idea of what to expect from this one and you can find the full track list below.
