OCR00673 - Chrono Cross 'Molding of Destinies'


Beautiful. I really enjoyed this one. Nice and smooth. You know the
monkey machine isn't always a hardcore industrial grind your
ass on a rusted cog fan. No, sometimes I need something just
flat out gorgeous to listen to. and this would definatly fit the bill.

Id just like to say that this is a great remix! I absolutely love anything Chrono Trigger / Chrono Cross and this trully brings out the beauty in the music. Great work, hope to hear more from you! :D

I'm usually not one for any sort of multi-piece combination (let alone from different games, even if they do have the same composer), but the only way I can describe this track is 'beautiful'.

Great job, you may have just changed my mind about the potential of crossover pieces ^_^

I don't normally post reviews, but for this track I must.

I was just doing the usual: going to ocremix checking for new stuff and reading the forums. This is a rutine I've been doing for quite some time now, but today was a little different because I fell in love with this song. It mixes Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross seamlessly together in a very impressive orchestrated mix. These 2 games are in my top 25 games of all time and I absolutely love what has come from the mix of their music. Absolutely beautiful! I want more!

I have to agree, this is a most lovely remix of the CT/CC theme.. I have one minor gripe.. but it also may be my WinAmp.. somewhere around the 3 minute mark... it skips.. it's not a bad skip.. but like.. well you know when on TV edited words used to be blipped out with taht bleep noise... and now they just fade over it, by taking out the sound for that word? That's what it does. like I said, it may be my WinAmp... but I thought I'd point that out..

I just love it though.. It looks like I'm going to be forced to make me a cd of Trptcox's music to listen down on the road (and also to help me fall asleep peacefully) :þ

I almost broke down when I first heard this song. It's so beautiful.. and it brings back so many memories. I feel like playing Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross all over again..

[Cavi]

I have to agree. This is just pure awesomeness. Easily one of the best tracks I have downloaded. Lovely.

This is definitely a great mix, and the orchestration & sample quality are superb, but I would have been happier with it if the eighth note in the Schala's Theme part was correct. It's too low in pitch, which distracts me from the rest of the song while it's playing. :/

First and fore most, I'd like to say that I have never EVER played Chrono Cross (yet I should). I'd also like to say that I IDOLIZE Tprtcox, so, my review MAY be a tad biased, but I doubt there's anything wrong witht he song anyway...


The beginning of this song starts off with a beautiful anfd VERY realistic bass, then accompanied by a flute and a piano duet, where a strings serction joins in around 1:00. At 1:12, the mood changes from a calming sound, to sort of a triumphant sound and then calms down again around 1:48 where it turns into Schala's theme using that same flawless bass. At 2:10 he blends both songs together seemlessly. At around 2:40, he changes the mood back to truimph with the main theme from Chrono Trigger. I'd honestly have to say I haven't heard this song pulled off this good since Mistuda himself. The brass in the ending doesn't actually have as good a quality as the rest of the song, but he still pulls it off beautifully.


In closing, as expected, Trptcox has once again made an extremely beautiful arrangement which brings back a bunch of great memories from Chrono Trigger for me. This is DEFINATELY a keeper. Mitsuda & Uematsu would be jealous if they heard what this man has done with there music...

I'd give this song a number rating, but...I'd be too high..

I started listening to this mix and the first thing that happened was I found it too soft and so I decided it had to be listened to through head phones. I put the head phones on and sure enough, major improvement but still sounded like something could be done with the bass and the piano. Maybe if the bass was a little deeper and louder, and the piano had just a tad more volume so it didn't sound so distant.

When Schala's theme kicks in, that’s incredible. The mixture of that and the Chrono Cross theme are just superb. Too bad it’s so short.

I love the Chrono Cross theme, it’s probably one of my favourite pieces of orchestrated game music, and I must say that part of this mix was excellently executed. The only thing that I didn't like was the drums, the snare seemed some how muffled or maybe not loud enough, and the crashes seemed possibly too loud and felt like it was stabbing my ears.

After hearing this I decided "well, better express my thoughts." So I find my way to this topic and see 9 posts of nothing but good things to say about this song. I'm now trying to decide if this is all just my ears, the fact that I just got up and I might be grouchy had a small factor, or if I'm just a total ass who lacks taste.

Anyways, this is a very excellent song with maybe a few small problems. All songs have a couple, so it’s probably nothing to worry about. Just thought I'd say what I felt about it. Great piece Trptcox, I know you've proven that you do excellent work, and before this I believe I enjoyed everything I heard.

As for the rest of you... P.. Pl.. Please... Please don't jump on me and act like rabid animals, pretty please.
