An excellent and faithful interpretation of an SNES classic

Dignity Ark

From: Chrono Trigger

Remixed by: Ryo Lion

The music of Chrono Trigger is familiar terrritory to any game music enthusiast. The remixer here (a Japanese fellow that sent his submission email through an automated translator) amplifies the sound of the original track while making it more Chrono Cross-ish. You'd never guess that the opening guitar, which is heard throughout the song, is sequenced rather than an actual performance. The entire piece is sequenced, in fact, but Ryo does an excellent job enfusing it with that human element so often lacking in computer-generated music. The only shame here is that he didn't follow it up with more submissions. But hey, the world can always use more sitar, which you'll hear plenty of in this ethnic-flavored remix.

You should! I have major respect for a lot of these remixers. Very talented folk. I tried my hand at this sort of thing years ago but it didn't turn out very well. Been meaning to have another go at it lately but haven't had the time.

Great remix. You keep posting these Chrono Trigger songs and it just makes me want to play that game even more every time lol. I really should get on that.
