Notes:
An important collaboration with fever500.
The sequel to the original Silk Road. Do 
not confused with the name "The Age of 
Heroes", as it has the same name as Marvel 
Vs. Capcom 2.

Before I gave up ripping this game, I asked 
VB if he could try to trace some sound 
addresses in this game, but no luck. As this 
CPU uses a unusual type of... not like 68000 
chip. This game uses Hyperstone E1-32XN.

Someone on the internet uploaded the 
documentation of this chip, but later removed 
to the public, due to the lack of popularity 
on this chip. 

Up until fever500 managed to rip this entire 
soundtrack of this game. I can't believe it 
that he managed to rip this game that has 
unusual CPU to it. Again, you're the man, 
fever!! *Salute.

I apologize for the longer time playback. This 
is due to the YM2151 chip uses dynamic channel 
allocation to play, and I'm having to find the 
shortest possible loops that I could find so 
far.

Also, track 28 sounded like y'know. Can be 
heard on a chinese bootleg toy phone, sounded 
like from the song called "Butterfly" by 
Smile.dk

Track names are based in-game.

Update: I've trimmed the shortest possible 
loops on some tracks, thanks to Valley. But 
I retained some of the longer tracks here in 
this pack, since 5 of them shared the same 
issue where one of the channels have different 
sound, probably bug on the second loop in 
each 5 tracks. That's why I keep them.
