Had to immediately buy Strider when it came out. After hearing how awesome the music was, I decided to go into the game .wem's and convert to .ogg's and put them together. I'm glad I did, cuz the other uploaders didn't present the songs as powerfully. One had the soundtrack from the disc probably, but I think these two tracks came out better than how they are on the OST. It's just amazing to me how the layers work, and how composers design the music. I just had to make sure it was highest quality by using the music files straight from the game, faded out both tracks at the end, and layered right to make it powerful, and made this video:

It's a badass game, stays true. The composer did such a great work on this soundtrack, these two songs in particular. Always loved Strider, even all the story and lore about it.
This was the first song that played in the video above, the original back in the day:
