This PS1 game has the best soundtrack ever among video games, and that's saying a lot. The Japanese dudes that compose these things are genuine modern day heros, undervalued here but Gods in their homeland. With good reason. The Chrono series is buried under all the Final Fantasy hype, but FF is SHIT compared to Chrono. Trigger outdueled FF6 for best SNES game ever, and Cross blew FF8 adn 9 (the beginning of the FF decline) out of the water. I've no doubt that the third one is going to level the competition, whenever it comes out. But the focus of my rant is the music. Home Village of Arni Time's Scar Dream of the Shore Bordering Another World Shadow's End Forest Time's Grasslands Voyage- Another World (unreal) Sailing- Home World The Brink of Death Chronomantic Chronopolis Another Arni Village Unlike FF, no midi here... all BRILLIANTLY produced, lush, exquisite masterpieces. Man, a lot of them bring tears to my eyes, but then again I am a gayish little pussy. You need to hear them. Hunt these down, trust me. Please. I have all three discs on Soulseek, so there you go. |

I made a topic about this before and it got little hits. Don't be fucking stupid. Don't pass this offer up. |

Chrono Cross is the exception to spineless Japanese game soundtracks. That hybid Celtic stuff makes my heart flutter. |

Boomshakalaka, the Celtic groove is exactly what gives it the edge over generic cookie cutter RPG tunes. The sound of the strings being strummed on some of the town themes is just so warm... mmm. The ''shhnk'' as the guitar player slides up and down the strings... you won't find that in MIDI FF land. |

Truly. Chrono Cross's music is a breath of fresh air from all those trademark RPG synthesizers that sound like they're slathered with hot velveeta and bubbling semen... euuugh Have the composers scored anything else? |

chrono cross really is a superb game, has so many more things in it than ff8&9, like you said. the music is indeed very grandiose, some of the very best orchestrated in a video game ever..... ill check some stuff out later amn, those songs are great, they rival the ff7 goodness.....(ahhh...the Turk's theme, and Sephiroth battle)....... |

fuck that dude, i made a cd of the castlevania 3 soundtrack, and it's the best cd i've ever owned |

Reflex- No, it's just my fave tracks... the whole thing is 3 CDs(!), I've got them all on SLSK. And for Klau- He also did the highly acclaimed Xenogears games, and has his own Celtic tinged solo album... I want to hear that. And nothing will stop me. Roy- hehe, CV3 is pretty awesome... the low, ominous tracks with the big basslines are badass, especially for NES. If it's not the Japanese soundtrack though, you're missing it... that one has fangs. |

Wow, I had no idea he scored Xenogears. I wonder if he did Xenosaga too.. Let's rondevouz after you illegally download 'Sailing to the World' - I want to know what you think. |

What's your *~WITHOUT A DOUBT, ALL-TIME FAVORITE~* videogame song? Klau's : Opening theme from the original NES Metroid. A perfect onset to the mystery and terror that lay beyond.. |

1- Chrono Trigger- ''Peaceful Day''- after you wake up, the music that's playing while you walk around town (NOT Guardia Fair) 2- second level in Super Castlevania 4, tribal beat and eerie synths 3- Super Metroid- Second Brinstar theme, with freaky piano arpeggios and high pitched wind melody 4- Contra 3- industrial level, TOTAL FUCKING ROCK OUT LET'S KILL ALL THOSE FUCKING ALIENS FLAME THROWER GGGWWWRRRAHH 5- Mega Man 2- Metal Man's complex intertwining synth patterns, orgiastic 6- Sonic 2- Aquatic Ruin Zone... just because... 7- Super Mario RPG- ''Fight Against an Armed Boss'' PHAT beats for an SNES game 8- Donkey Kong Country- the underwater levels, emptys my bladder |

"8- Donkey Kong Country- the underwater levels, emptys my bladder" Those levels are a state of being. I used to swim up to a safe corner, turn the lights off, and burn scented candles.. |

yasunori mitsuda did wonderful rendition albums: chrono trigger - the brink of time xenogears - cried both are live instrumentation with electronics. the brink of time is a jazzy mix. its like mitsuda, biosphere, and plaid teamed up with lounge musicians for a few songs. its nice. creid is more traditional celtic, though i find it a bit boring. not really enjoying all this FF bashing left and right though. i still really like nobou uematsu's work. ESPECIALLY final fantasy 7. that soundtrack is really something else. though he has definitely been dying down since ff9 i think (yes, i really enjoy ff8 and its soundtrack, god forbid) he didnt do half the work in ffx, and when he did you knew it was him cuz he just keeps doing the same stuff. square is overworking him. for anyone who enjoys rpg music. these are psf files, and they are direct dumps from psx discs. the quality is EXACTLY the same that of the discs they sell, and they take up about 80 percent less space. its really remarkable. ff7 is exactly the same if not better. you need a plugin, but its worth it i think. |

Yasunori Mitsuda's work on Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross is absolute beauty... |

You got it on what? Is there anyway I can get these? Give me "directions" and Im there. |

Yeah, add me on Soulseek, revolverjgw, and search D\P-Z\Videogame Music\Chrono Cross, I've got all three discs. Actually, it's kind of easy to find on there, a few people have it there. Disassemble- wicked, I didn't know Zophar had those soundtracks, thanks! Is there anywhere similar to get NON-RPG PS1 (or 2) music? I wanted the Syphon Filter and Symphony of the Night Soundtracks, among others. |

all i know is that the soundtrack i have is taken directly from the game 8 bit wonderfullness |
||||||||

Yes, he did do Xenosaga, magnificently... and in front of the London Philharmonic Orchestra nonetheless. I believe he will be doing all of the rest of the episodes as well. |

what about silent hill/metal gear soundtracks?? and also, what about nobuo eumatsu sitting out for ffx-2? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Harry Gregson Williams did a masterful job on MGS2, yeah... and Silent Hill 2 has an awesome claustrophobic soundtrack... really reminds me of SAW2. That game is a total mindfuck, not cheap shock scares either. I have the soundtrack, but it doesn't have the guitar track that's playing during the very start where he's talking about his wife... the acoustic arpeggios. What the fuck? |

have any of you heard that jazz remake of chrono trigger's soundtrack called "in the brink of time"? pretty cool stuff |

silent hill series is composed by akira yamaoka. the music is fucking remarkable at least. i remember hearing the music while playing the first one, nothing like it. the official silent hill soundtracks leave out a lot of material, some of which i really like. i recently heard a bunch of new silent hill music (silent hill 3) and it is excellent yet again id say. theres an official sh3 site now though i forgot it. its all japanese, some sort of interactive dealy. your guide is a stuffed bunny with blood all over its mouth. classy eh! is USUALLY up, though at this posting it seems to be down. check periodically though, for it has each silent hill complete soundtracks. this is music from the game not heard on the OST. they have both silent hill's, they are direct dumps i believe. nice quality, though the track fades suck horrendously still worth a checking out. hopefully they will be back up. |

final fantasy VII has the best soundtrack of all time, and, oddly, turned me on to electronic music. yeah. |

the soundtrack to SOTN is awesome too (well parts of it) could do without the kenny G song at the end |
