Notes:
The game credits Nick Stroud for his original
compositions, due to this game basically being
a port of the SNES game. Thing is, the music
barely sounds like Stroud's original
compositions from the SNES game. I took wild
guesses as to which songs (appear to) be based
on his compositions.

The one thing I am 100% sure about is Alan
Menken's credit on track 01. The game's credits
also list him for music, so that's a positive
confirmation. It's based on the movie's
namesake song, so that's also a plus.

Six tracks, those being the prologue, "Castle
Halls (Area 4)", both "Woods" tracks, and the
third and fourth "unknown" tracks were trimmed
manually because "because the duty cycles
change at a set rate, and therefore are
different every loop." (quoting MusicFox). This
same issue also occured on the Bram Stoker's
Dracula pack, which uses the same sound driver
and has the same composer. Not surprising. TBH,
trimming them manually was the *least*
troublesome thing about this pack.
