Chrono Trigger
"To Faraway Times"
This was originally arranged for the album "SquareDance" from OneUp Studios and KFSS back in 2002. It marks my last collaboration with my good friend Patrick. Though he doesn't arrange game music like the rest of us old school kids anymore, he still manages to reserve tables for Dale, Mustin and me, anytime we go to restaurants. Believe me if you want,but it's totally true.
Despite his untimely departure from the scene, Jaxx would've happy to know that even more people are getting to hear our work, and this time free of charge at that. Please enjoy the music from this album that served to launch the greatest American dojin label around. :)

The soundscape sounded a little too wet and murky for some of the fuller parts, and the beatwork felt a bit thin sometimes, but the end result was successfully enveloping and solidly produced.
The instrumentation and structure being close in many ways to the SNES original, especially for the intro, was very off-putting at first, but there were a lot of new ideas in the big picture to add a personalized flavor, particularly the instrumentation and textural changes from section to section.
Being a 2002 arrangement, the style of it is definitely a lot more old-school compared to the material we get nowadays, but what this lacks in melodic interpretation, it makes up for with changes to the genre, instrumentation, dynamics, tempo and overall composition. Perhaps I'm seeming too lenient; I'm certainly interested to see how the other Js feel about it, but I'm ultimately cool with it.
YES
