Today saw the release of the Xenogears orchestrated album in Japan. I am a friggin’ sucker for this game, especially its music. So is this long-awaited album worth buying? Take a listen below and decide for yourself.
Track 1: Light from the Netherworld
Track 2: My Village is Number One
Track 3: Flight
Track 4: The Treasure Which Cannot be Stolen
Track 5: Stage of Death
Track 6: Shevat, The Wind is Calling
Track 7: October Mermaid
Track 8: Bonds of Sea and Fire
Track 9: Singing of the Wind
Track 10: Ship of Regret and Sleep
Track 11: Lost…Broken Shards
Track 12: The Beginning and the End
Track 13: Small of Two Pieces
Track 14: Faraway Promise
Mmmm, Faraway Promise. Wanna go to Amazon or Play-Asia?
I was extremely fortunate to meet, exchange business cards, and chat with Yasunori Mitsuda once. Trying to hide my schoolgirlish glee and keep everything professional, I mentioned that Xenogears was my favorite soundtrack in the history of me. When this announcement happened and he asked for suggestions, I was all over messaging that man by means public and private hoping that Faraway Promise would be on the new album. Yeah, it’s a simple piano tune (more like a music box in the game itself) but one that just hit me the right way. So at least to me, it ws pretty awesome to see it on here. You know the crazy thing? You could even make a really wicked part two of this, because the OST just has that many good tracks on it. Crazy.
