    I carefully remade the Battle Below theme from the Bionicle MNOG soundtrack in ultra high quality since the original was so badly compressed.
    I was able to hunt down the original sample for the electronic chirping to make this as fully accurate as possible!
    The acid and whistle synths in the later section were a real challenge but I finally figured out how to reverse engineer them.
    Anyone is free to use my remake in their games or projects/media just credit me for this version!
    Original track was made by Justin Luchter, MNOG soundtrack composer
    Enjoy!

      Kind of ironic how the Toa Kaita were heralded as a really big thing and then they ended up so incredibly short-lived.

    "We don't go by they/them because we're non-binary. We use they/them because we're literally three people!" - Any Toa Kaita, probably.

      I would absolutely LOSE IT if he did! Especially since the only thing that’s really aged poorly about MNOG is its heavily compressed, frequently-popping audio.

    I always imagined the Toa Kaita speaking with neatly merged voices of their three respective Toa voices, kind of like how Gandalf and Saruman’s voices were merged in Gandalf the White’s reveal.
    Also, this is a stunning and faithful restoration, amazing work! And even higher praise for As Above, So Below!
