Mega Man X 4-8 make use of CD-quality audio for their PlayStation and PlayStation 2 music scores by Toshihiko Horiyama, Naoto Tanaka, Akemi Kimura, along with Capcom Sound Team members Shinya "Midnight" Okada and Seiko Kobuchi, and the Valuewave sound team.

From the product page:
CAPCOM and Laced Records continue their partnership to bring classic video game music to vinyl with Mega Man X 1-8: The Collection, a deluxe eight-disc box set featuring 210 tracks from the mainline titles in the Mega Man X series spanning 1993-2004. Launched on the Super NES as the gaming world transitioned from 8-bit to 16-bit consoles, the Mega Man X series introduced more mobility to the action-platforming series, as well as new plotlines and characters including X, Zero, and Axl.
