So this is a medley/arrangment of themes from one of my favorite video game composers, Yasunori Mitsuda (he did the music for Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Xenosaga, etc.). I'm waiting for Vgmix to update their game selection so that I can release this mix over there. It's also been submitted to OCR, but, as usual, that'll take months before it even reaches the judging panel. Let me know what you guys think!

ktriton: Yeah, so basically this was an idea I started forever and a half ago. I never finished it because I am amazing at slacking off. The remix takes into account a variety of lesser-covered Mitsuda soundtracks—prime among them being the Tsugunai: Atonement soundtrack (which I thought was great). Other sources and shout-outs include Xenosaga, Magic Pengel 2, Xenogears, and Shadow Hearts.

Interpret the title and the static as you will, I’m not going to say anything about that. What I will say, however, is that this remix wouldn’t be half of what it is without Christian’s help. Even though I was forced at gunpoint to let him record the bass, this remix would sound probably three to four times crappier than it is if it wasn’t for his help with production. So thank you Christian for the bass track and all the production help! Hope you guys enjoy this!

CPacaud: When I first heard a WIP of this mix, the first thing I noticed, besides all the piano and synth goodness, was that the bass lines were... sexy. I basically forced Kunal at gunpoint to let me play the bass on this mix. Hopefully it has been for the best! I mostly played what was sent to me with some additional touches here and there, so this is all ktriton's show. Go K!

Something was wrong with the mp3--sounds like whole bytes weren't uploaded. It's good now though.

PS. It's heavy on mids and bass. I wouldn't use bass boosts. I'll fix that soon.

I don't really know the original composings (I'm more of a Nubuo Uematsu fan :)) but you've really succeeded on bringing out the videogame like sounds and atmosphere!

Prodigy4898: lol, thanks for being honest. Umm...not much I can--or rather WANT--to change in that department. But thanks for taking the time to check it out.

Saku M: Thanks! Yeah, I was trying to capture all the different sides of Mitsuda (and yeah, Uematsu's awesome). Like I said, the sources I used aren't very well known. I certainly wouldn't expect most people here to have heard them (except maybe Rosie).

And thanks to everybody who's been downloading it :)
