Everything But Safe

It's time to give credit to a couple of fantastic human beings, who's dedication and passion is beyond what most people can even imagine. It's time for everyone who hasn't yet heard of Chrono Symphonic to head over to their site and download the whole two discs. I'll just let the artists themselves describe their labor of love.It’s been a labor of love for everybody that has been a part of it. Initially designed to be the soundtrack for the long-desired Chrono Trigger movie (no, the movie doesn’t exist and probably never will), it encompasses 18 different artists' takes on the way such a film should sound in an orchestral setting, and many more on how it should look and feel. Never has such an abundance of talent been thrown into such a powerful calling, and never has the game Chrono Trigger, which many of us grew up playing, known so much love.
The new version has been worked on by several remixers (all from the excellent site OCRemix) since 2004 and just two months ago they finished the project. As mentioned above, they turned the Mitsuda-san's original pieces into more epic, cinematic versions. A truly admirable quest, and the result is astonishing. Get over there and listen to some magic right now.
And oh;
6 fucking days 'till The Great Cold Distance
