The Secret of Mana track contains music from “Angel’s Fear”, “Flight into the Unknown”, “Eternal Recurrence”, “Premonition”, “The Sorcerer”, and “Rose and Spirit”, as well as a boss battle encore suite which included “Meridian Festival”.

Each track is in excess of 15 minutes.

For now the CD is only going to be available from Germany, either from the WDR Shop or Amazon.de, and while they do international shipping it’ll cost you a pretty penny. Maz-Sound do shipping outside EU for 6€, which isn’t too bad. Expect international releases to follow later. You can also buy an MP3 version from Amazon.de.

The cost of the CD is between 14,95€ and 19,95€, depending where you buy it from.
