Chrono Cross Arranged album

OMG. I can't describe what I'm feeling right now. To know it's in production makes me feel so relieved. I swear it was like the Duke Nukem Forever of the VGM world.

I can't wait to hear more. Thank you once again!

Yup, that definitely just made my day.  Nine years too late, but I'll take it!  It could be the wine talking (weee!) but did anyone else get semi-emotional when they heard that track play?

I'm listening to it right now at breakfast and yeah, it's definitely moving to finally hear some arranged CC sweetness...

With his label being named "Sleigh Bells" afterall, it seems that the Christmas Spirit really gets him motivated 

i still need to play chrono cross.. its one of the few albums i truly dig without ever having played up the game (+terraenigma & star ocean 2)

In all honesty, I think the original Chrono Cross material sounded excellent, and if the whole Chrono Cross Arrange album was to sound like this sample, I don't know how excited I'd be about it.  This works right now as a sample for Christmas time, but yeah.

I was hoping for something more progressive like the Brink of Time album.  It's a shame he shot down doing something similar.  Anyway, I'm not saying this sounds bad, it's just not drastically new or different.  I was hoping for the beginning of a new and excitingly different story.

On it, sir!

I <3 you so much Angela

Beautiful music. His string arrangements have such a nice flow and harmony to them, and the musicians perform it well. I look forward to a track listing and some livelier selections. Thinking about it, I would probably go crazy trying to choose only 10+ songs to put on this album.

Heh, my favorite as well.  Let's hope it makes it.

Dreams of the Shore Bordering Another World for me. Really, any track arranged from Cross would be amazing.

Well even the English says it's from CC Arrange Album.  The Japanese just says that the album the song is from hasn't been released.  I think it's a pretty safe bet the song will be on the album.

It's funny how when CT Brink of Time came out, people were expecting an orchestral album and complained about how unconventional it was (for a VGM album at the time).  And now that CC Arrange Album is coming out many years later we might be seeing the opposite.  Kind of shows how people's tastes have changed since then.
