I kept all the original notes in the main loop, but also added a second part with a slightly different ending to extend the length of each loop and add a bit of variation.

The album contains the remaining 15 of my 30 Chrono Trigger tracks. In some cases, I redid the album versions with better sample libraries and fixed some problems. The most noticeable improvements are in Boss Battle 2 and Undersea Palace.

The Ogre Battle Saga is a series of four games: Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, and Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis.

The album version is similar to the YouTube version, but it contains some improvements:
-Fixed the release samples on the low pizzicato notes which was giving it a heavy reverb sound. Several people mentioned this in the comments as too much reverb.
-Made some very minor mixing improvements.

This orchestral cover was quite a challenge. The original composition is rather long and contains a lot of non-orchestral (i.e., rock) elements, so it took a while to figure out the most appropriate instrumentation for each part and to arrange them in a way that makes the piece sound interesting from start to finish. I hope you like it!

The original track plays in the final battle of a "genocide" run in Undertale, so it's possible to finish the game without ever hearing it. Despite this, it seems to be the most popular track from the game. I've received an unusually large number of requests for this, and while it's not my favorite battle theme from Undertale (nor is it the most orchestratable), I figured it would be worth it to give it a shot.

The original track plays in an area called the Core which is reminiscent of the Undersea Palace area in Chrono Trigger. As in the Undersea Palace, the music in the Core runs in a continuous loop uninterrupted by battles. The Core has a little more of an EDM feeling than Undersea Palace, but they are both incredibly catchy tracks that match their respective areas well.

This track was written in the style of Nobuo Uematsu for the Final Fantasy VI opera parody scene in Undertale. I was really impressed with the composition because it encapsulates Uematsu's style without ripping off any specific melodies.

This is the first track on my Chrono Trigger cover album which is now available on iTunes, Spotify, etc. Since it's a fully licensed cover album, a percentage of the sales goes to the original composers. While all of these tracks are available on my YouTube channel, the album contains a few updated versions that use newer sample libraries or have some minor corrections.
Update: Fortunately, the content I.D. claim against this video seems to have been dropped, so ads shouldn't appear anymore.

This is my favorite track from the game. My goal was to capture the feeling of the original, so I tried to stay as faithful to the original track as possible. I also used a part from the alternate version (titled "Ngahhh!!") for the ending.

I decided to make this right after I heard it in the game. It plays in the first area called the ruins, and it instantly lets you know that there's more to this game than meets the eye. There's some surprisingly good music in the soundtrack and a lot of it is reminiscent of SNES RPG music. This one in particular reminded me a lot of Secret of Mana (Hiroki Kikuta) with a little Yasunori Mitsuda thrown in. It's really hard to believe that only one guy made most of the game and the entire soundtrack!

This is my favorite track from the game because of how well it captures the cold feeling of isolation and desperation in the first level. I wanted my arrangement to reflect this feeling, but I also wanted it to reflect the transition that you go through from a small, helpless fish at the beginning of the level to an evolved bad-ass predator fish that can hold its own against sharks several times its size.
Unfortunately, the soundtrack to E.V.O. is quite inconsistent; a few tracks are amazing, but the rest are entirely forgettable. If there's enough interest, I could do perhaps 3-5 tracks in total and release them as a mini cover album on Loudr/iTunes.

This piece wasn't in the original NES Final Fantasy soundtrack. It was added in the WSC remake in 2000 and later expanded in the subsequent PS1 (Origins) and GBA (Dawn of Souls) versions. It plays during the battles with the elemental fiends Lich and Kraken.

NOTES:
The original is a rather short loop, so I added a bridge and an ending based on A Prayer to the Road that Leads, the organ music that plays when you discover the secret entrance.

This remake is my vocal debut! The choir at the beginning is actually three Malcolms layered together. I was originally planning to sing all the creepy tenor vocals from the original, but I decided to use other instruments instead to leave room for the epic (non-Malcolm) choir that comes in later.
