This is probably old news to some of you, but I just discovered this wonderful remix project today. Chrono Symphonic is a collection of remixes from Chrono Trigger. Beyond the 25 great audio tracks, there is also a look at a fan made Chrono Trigger movie script and trailer.
Chrono Symphonic is a project a long time in the making. Starting from the autumn days of October 2004, and ending in the wintry days of January 2006, 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.

Very cool project. Kind of makes me wistful of good ol’ Chrono Resurrection…

Awesome. I love the DK, DOOM, Earthbound, and Metroid ones as well. Am I missing any?

“Awesome. I love the DK, DOOM, Earthbound, and Metroid ones as well. Am I missing any?”
Sonic 2. And DOOM 2 is being worked on. There was also a joke album called [RoFL] Repercussions of Fowl Lamentation. Duck Hunt in other words. It’s the best one, in my opinion, ’cause it’s hilarious.
Well, it’s not the best.
Bound Together > Kong in Concert > [RoFL] > Relics of the Chozo
And I just started listening to Chrono Symphonic. It’s quiet, though. I could always turn up my speakers.
OH! And there’s “The American Album” which is a bunch of songs (that were written by American composers) from various games. It’s pretty good as well.

Cripes!! I spent about 10 minutes downloading each track one by one, only to see the torrent link for the entire album at the top of the page as soon as I was done. ANYWAY, Chrono Trigger will probably never fall out of my Top 5 Games of All Time list and this “album” promises to bring back a TON of wonderful memories and FORCE me to play the game AGAIN!! But that’s OK. It doesn’t get much better than Chrono Trigger! I wish I could put my finger on what it is about this game that makes it SOOOO great for me. Perhaps someday I will be eloquent enough to write a retrospective of Chrono Trigger and submit it to 4CR for posting.
