These songs feel much more like the Metal Gear music we’ve come to expect.

But there’s another collection of cassette tapes out in the game world full of original music, the majority of which aren’t featured on either of the game’s soundtrack releases. “Rebel Yell”, “She Blinded Me With Science” and “The Final Countdown” are just a few of the ‘Top 40’ mega hits you can find in the game. Set in 1984, the game’s huge environments are peppered with boomboxes at desert outposts and hostile facilities that belt out some of the most popular tracks of the decade. The majority of the conversation around Metal Gear Solid V’s music has been about the game’s licensed 80’s tracks. In the meantime, we’ll have to rely on fan recordings ( like this one! ) to complete the full Phantom Pain listening experience. Known as “Music Tape 1”, these original songs have yet to be released in an official capacity and could make up a further supplemental soundtrack.
Missing from this new release is the music found on hidden cassette tapes around the game world. The majority of the music comes from the game’s cutscenes with a few bonus tracks like Mogren Radio and even the Happy Birthday song with a requisite karaoke version.
This includes music from the multiplayer FOB mode and Sneak, Alert and Evasion themes from both main environments and several key story missions.
The extended soundtrack adds an additional 114 tracks, nearly 6 more hours, of in-game music that was not included on the previously released Metal Gear Solid V Original Soundtrack. Currently it’s only live on the Japanese iTunes store but a domestic release should be popping up soon. Konami was quick to point out on twitter that this is a digital only release and no physical pressing is in the works. Announced just days ago via the official Metal Gear twitter account, the Metal Gear Solid V Extended Soundtrack is now officially on sale through iTunes for roughly $22 US.
