OCR01011 - Final Fantasy VII "Philharmonic Suite: Part I"

Nice dramatic score, though the brass seemed to sell some sections a little short with their attack. When things are in full battle mode though, it really works well. Powerful swells and driving rhythms keep the track moving forward, and some excellent dynamics. The ending is a little on the abrupt side, but it works decently enough. I think a softer touch to the final chords would have been more compelling.

Either way, this is an intense ReMix that deserves all the accolades that it has received.

Marvelous, this is a spectacular piece. It sends shivers down my spine every time, and the thought of playing FF7 with this music is intense. It sounds like I'm sitting in the audience of an orchestra, delightful.
