Another Monday full of music, and with a site update to boot!

The following remixes have been added to our remix section, which was falling a bit behind (my bad, sorry). These have been contributed by the good old people at OCRemix.

You’ll be able to find them easily on the pages for FFA, SoM and SD3 as they have the icon next to them.

FFA
‘Chivalry Begins’ by Big Giant Circles

SoM
‘Things We Didn’t Know’ by Vampire Hunter Dan
‘Step Off My Flower Bed’ by Nase
‘Sea/Sky’ by Ziwtra

SD3
‘Aurora Borealis’ by Rozovian

I’ve picked out this one in particular, Step Off my Flower Bed, by Nase, simply because there’s so much going on in the remix, you should listen to it several times and will keep picking up more as you revisit it.

Today’s track comes from Legend of Mana. It’s a boss track. Honestly I hate this boss track. I think it’s pretty boring and it really drags on in a fight, but maybe someone out there likes this track so I’m uploading it for them. But seriously people, the Seiken Densetsu series has so much great music why not choose a better one to like?

Bedight Orbit – Yoko Shimomura – Legend of Mana

Also what’s up with this name? Apparently bedight means adorned or dressed, and I guess the orbit part fits in with the other boss names of The Darkness Nova and Pain the Universe. But really, I always thought they meant bednight orbit and it was named after a terrible dream or something.

Anyway, sorry I picked a dull track but I think all of the tracks need their time to shine.

It’s late, but it’s here!

Death Sally Battle – Tsuyoshi Sekito – Dawn of Mana

This is a boss track from Dawn of Mana. I don’t really think it’s a bad track per se, but I am not really sure how well it fits into the game. Especially in the boss fight that you hear it in. Might just be me though, what do you think? Nothing about this track really says Seiken Densetsu to me.

Today’s track is the ending theme from Heroes of Mana. Out of all the tracks in HoM I think this one’s music gives off the most Legend of Mana-ish vibe. It’s a really nice track, give it a listen.

Recently we reported on the Symphonic Fantasies album, which is now out, and having received my copy and listened to it I can tell you, it is worth every penny. Wonderful renditions of classic themes from our favourite Square RPGs. Now each track being 15+ minutes long means that putting it here on MMM isn’t going to happen today at least, but I wanted to share with you a sample of the Secret of Mana track that I found very attentive to detail. Pay close attention to the beginning of the sample.

This just reinforces to me the fact that it arranged by people who have a love for the games themselves and not just the music.

And yes, it’s a day early because otherwise tomorrow I’ll be busy and may forget. 😉

Both bastian from the forums and Kassidy ended up linking me to this track, so I guess I’ll continue the linking train!

The Things We Didn’t Know (OC Remix Page) – Vampire Hunter Dan (OC Remix Page)
Secret of Mana – Hiroki Kikuta – Danger, Fear of the Heavens, Into the Thick of It, What the Forest Taught Me

This is a fun track, it mixes some of the most memorable tracks from Secret of Mana into an amazing orchestral piece that flows really well. I especially love the bits with the Danger track, it’s one of my favorites from Secret of Mana and needs more love!

Give it a few listens and be sure to head over to OC Remix and the artist’s profile to check out all sorts of great game music!

October is almost here, so to get you in the mood for Halloween season I’ve got some creepy music for you this week.

Sacrifice Part One – Hiroki Kikuta – Seiken Densetsu 3
[MEDIA=242]

Now this is kinda weird, cause it’s not the most musical of tracks, but I really like this one. Not sure what it is about the track, I just really enjoy it.

Whoops, time escaped me and I didn’t get a song up yesterday.

This week’s track is one of the village musics from Seiken Densetsu 3. I like it because it’s nice and calm and really makes you feel at home. So sit back, relax, and feel at home wherever you are.

Little Sweet Cafe – Hiroki Kikuta – Seiken Densetsu 3

Here is a track I was listening to. You can listen to it too.

The One Who Does Not Tremble – Kenji Ito – Dawn of Mana
[MEDIA=239]

Here is a desert music because it’s very hot in my room.

At the End of the Hot Sands – Yoko Shimomura – Heroes of Mana
