The original made use of an additional sound channel unique to the FDS (Famicom Disk System), and I've included both in their entirety here. There are more differences between the two than the US cartridge version simply lacking an extra voice, however. Sometime during the 15 month gap that separated the two releases, Konami decided to tweak the soundtrack. For their second attempt they added new (and more driving) percussion parts, and all sorts of reverb/ delay effects that weren't there before. Other differences can be heard as well, including a different length for A Requiem and a different bass part for Within These Castle Walls. Its neat hearing how the original version sounds, but I much prefer the changes they made for the American release. Despite having less channels to work with, I am of the opinion that they managed to make the music more complex and interesting by manipulating the soundchip with more care.
