nobuo uematsu chrono trigger: original sound version
At the Millennial fair, you can play your heart out for money, bet on people running, and drink soda until you drop when you're thirsty! It is the beat created that forces this on you. The game's generic cave/dungeon theme, this lovely track sounds like a lighter version of "The Phantom Forest" from Final Fantasy VI in its harmonic and melodic progression. It simplys screams 'nostalgia' throughout and creating this feeling is something that Mitsuda and Uematsu have always excelled in. Yes. Well it certainly fits the situation and the game play, but not a lot happens I'm afraid! Apart from this, the track fits its purpose, though is pretty unattractive on a stand-alone level. (10/10), The time warp intros the disc exactly like Disc Two and the shrill whines quickly fade into strong wind sound effects. (7/10), Though some people rank this theme as one of their top ten favourite pieces of video game music ever, I would have to politely disagree. It has a very sacred sound to it, hence 'prayer'. The track opens with pizzicato strings which play in an almost mischievous manner! Much like "Secret of the Forest," the combination of piano and synth vocals creates a rather surreal feel throughout the track. "The Trial" seems to haul out a feeling of confusion. (6/10), This is another short filler track. (8/10), After many great tracks in the Chrono Trigger Official Sound Version, Mitsuda concludes the album with an instant classic, a truly unforgettable video game ending theme that leaves the gamer and listener wanting more. This loops with only 16 bars or so, so it's short, but it's very atmospheric. The pattern repeats, then takes a surprising turn: all the instruments heard thus far vanish as a simple, regretful tune plays on a music box. The bass line stays the same the whole way through, and a xylophone joins and plays a sequence which rises and dims. However, the real meat of this track lies in the epic trumpet motif that repeats and echoes beautifully with the other instrumental parts. Sugiyama was assigned elsewhere and Mitsuda was given the job of composing for this major project, giving him one of his biggest challenges of his life. Chrono Trigger is highly considered by many as one of the must-play classic JRPGs, and it’s not hard to see why. (5/10), My personal favourite on the album, "Secret of the Forest," is a beautifully developed and hugely atmospheric theme. (7/10), Here we celebrate our heroes success, and the theme used for "Guardia Millenial Fair" is used. This is truly a great dungeon track. Towards the end of the track call and response is evident, and once again through this the idea of enforcement is produced. Kaeru was once a noble man (hence the glory of this track). The low-pitched suspended notes add to this effect. Perhaps this is Mitsuda's idea of creating a field of grass, and actually attempting to put this image into our heads. This catchy melody shows hope, pride, and enrichment through its melody. The music fits perfectly as our heroes part with one another, each returning to his or her own respectitive time period, perhaps never to see one another again but driven by the purpose to carry on their story and legacy. It sings nicely and has some pretty dissonance. Later in the theme, jazzy melodies from a piano enter and subdued synth vocals begin to decorate everything else going on. The eleventh track on the second disc, "Battle 2," and the first track on the third disc, "Singing Mountain", never actually appeared in-game. As much as I'd like to rate this mind wrenching track well, I can't! Still, the piece has a lot of character, and really pronounces the difference between the uneasy Zeal Palace and the rest of the kingdom, which was musically set to the fun "Corridors of Time". After all, the track is just 7 seconds long and comrises of one simple piano phrase. It's just a fragmented melody, that's all, and it gets old quickly. The harmonies are a little simple, being based around a repeating crisis motif, but the fine timpani part makes up for this. Unfortunately this segment of the piece only lasts until 1:48, and then repeats from the beginning. Yeah, completely skippable, although the beginning is nice. The accompaniment is light, but has an ethereal feel to it, thanks to the way textures are so carefully manipulated. Note that the track names are taken from the DS version of Chrono Trigger. Style: Chiptune, Soundtrack, Modern Classical. (9/10), Widely considered a classic, this sweet music box melody is one of the most memorable in the game and has great nostalgic qualities.
