Short post today, but real awesome song.

Innocent Water – Silver Fantastic Mix ver. 1.0 – Levo Lution

Well, here is another track I picked out about a month ago, and now can’t remember why I picked it out. Getting a new laptop today though, so that means updates from me are going to become more regular, and also I won’t have to scramble to get MMM tracks up, so they’ll probably have somemthing more written with them.

Rut of the Crystal – Children of Mana

I picked out this track about a month ago for Mana Music Monday, but I can’t remember why I picked it.

Anyways, Faith Total Machine from SD3 by Hiroki Kikuta is pretty cool. I really like how they had so many boss tracks in SD3.

Seeing as New Year’s is in a few days, I decided to pick Infant of Mana from Children of Mana for this week’s Mana Music Monday update. I chose this because of baby New Year or something.

That’s a pretty dramatic tune, isn’t it? Here’s to hoping next year doesn’t take after this track.

Today’s Mana Music Monday update comes once again from the incredible Let Thoughts Ride on Knowledge composed by Kenji Ito and arranged by Takayuki Hattori.

I picked the track Friends, because Holidays are a good time for friends to get together or give gifts and thanks and stuff.
In other news, I’m trying to justify picking a super Latin sounding track so close to Christmas.

Enjoy the music as it goes through the Birth of the Chocobo, to the Chocobo Theme (the only non-Seiken Densetsu track ever in a Seiken Densetsu game) and finishes up with a pleasant rendition of the Dwarve’s Theme.

It is really really cold today. While walking to school I had to run across a road and while I was running I remembered I should probably do the Mana Music Monday update today.
Cold + Running + Memory = Memory of Running from the Fieg Snowfields in Legend of Mana.
Enjoy.

Admitedly, we’ve only very recently posted this song as part of Triple M, but after the streaming radio shenanigans this morning, it had to be done.

While hurriedly editing some photos this morning from yesterday’s Fun Run that people from work took part in and listening to Kawaii Radio, what happens to come on?

Hiroki Kikuta – Angel’s Fear (Secret of Mana)

That’s my Mana Moment for the Morning. Bring on the day!

Here where I live in Texas it’s usually hot nine out of twelve months, but when those cold months hit they hit hard. It’s starting to get pretty chilly here and every time the weather gets like this it reminds me of the Ice Country in Secret of Mana, hence today’s music.
A Wish – Hiroki Kikuta

We have three remixes of this track over in the remixes section:
Cry From the Forest by Kassie! and Mustin (OC Remix page)
Dirge for the Frosty Plains by mp (OC Remix page) and
Ice Crystal Fields Forever by Zeratul (OC Remix page)

Since it’s November and all, I was going to just add the Seiken Densetsu 3 track Harvest November on here, but I did that last year so I went with Raven instead.

This is a pretty fun track, one of my favorite non-boss tracks from Seiken Densetsu 3.

For those of you in the states have a Happy Thanksgiving this week!
I wonder, if there was a Seiken Densetsu equivalent of Thanksgiving would they eat roast Rabite or stuffed Axebeaks?
Needlebirds?
Eating a Cockatrice sounds like a bad idea… and I’d be afraid cooking a Duck Soldier would result in an explosion.

Mashed Masked Potatoes would be essential.

Ok, so it is a day late, but I’m making up for it by using a really awesome track.

Menace is the second “chapter” of the amazingly orchestrated Let Thoughts Ride on Knowledge, using the music composed for Final Fantasy Adventure by Kenji Ito, and arranged by Takayuki Hattori.

This track in particular includes the music from the Granz Dukedom, Dungeon 1 and Fight 1. It is really an incredible track. The beginning reminds me a lot of Disney’s Fantasia, and the Latin feel the boss track takes on is really addicting.
If you’ve got a chance track down this CD, which is pretty rare, or pick up SD Sound Collections which contains all of the tracks from this CD as well as the original Game Boy tracks in all of their chiptune glory.
