Hey,

So I've kept this on the lowdown for a while, but I'd like to recruit some fresh blood & give people an opportunity to contribute to what is undoubtedly a popular soundtrack. My plan is to divide the OST into four discs with most of the tracks covered, if not all, and with each disc having a theme, as explained below.

I won't be seeking approval for a while as per the rules (until I feel comfortable with the state of Lufia 2, which is looking good right now), although I would like to see this posted onto OCR. The goal is to release on August 6, 2013, the 20th anniversary of the game, although I will likely push it back to later in the year to ensure quality. To inquire about the state of tracks for interested claims, you can PM me and *should* get a response, although I can't predict the future.

The plan is as follows - I want to encourage unorthodox/creative arrangements in general. I fully support liberal style changes for this album as well, but no silly songs. Before starting on the track, clear with me how you would like to approach it, and of course give me an idea of the quality/direction to expect. Ultimately, I want the album to have an exotic, trippy, and schitzophrenic mood changes in atmosphere throughout. To give an example, the Secret of Mana+ album by Hiroki Kikuta (the original composer) would be an excellent barometer in many ways.

Project forums are located on KNGI

Edit: I know this list does not look pretty as typed when compared to the other one, but I will probably be arranging discs a lot differently with this new direction.

Edit #2: So I guess this got lost in translation - my main requirement is that songs have mood weighing heavily on the arrangement. The song doesn't have to necessarily fit some of those adjectives listed in the post.

Nice, now we have projects going for 3 of the Mana games! :D
It's definitely a series that desrves it.

[Monobrow]

I had previously wanted A Phantom and a Rose but it was taken, funny though, since it's opened up I think I will pass for now.

It's too bad Eternal Recurrence is reclaimed, because that's my absolute favorite. I also have an old WIP for that one too, but I'm gonna redo it someday regardless. Good luck Nutritious. :J

So anyway, Wes, I'd like to claim "A Bell is Tolling". The Ice Palace theme. I remixed it a long time ago and always wanted to rethink/redo what I did. Oh man, gonna love working on this.

[Chernabogue]

The source "In the Dead of the Night" and the ominous/dark theme are attracting me. Maybe I'll claim it later.

Anyway, good luck with this one, Wes!

[Rexy]

Having covered a lot of Mana in the past (a medley for the DoD, couple of tracks on OLR and something in the PRC) I'm game for this one. I call dibs on Color of the Summer Sky ^_~

[Bahamut]

Done and done!

As noted in the first post, the project forums are located at the place mentioned - once you're added to the access list, as Mono and Rexy should be able to see now.

Just a note, 36 and 37 are on the same line. Might want to change that.

Nah, that was intentional actually - The Curse might as well be melded into The Oracle is my thoughts, although if something is to change, I wouldn't mind either. However it shakes down can always be adjusted.

Ah, fair enough. I guess there isn't really much to work with in the curse anyway.

Can a n00b like me try and get his hands on one track?
