Never played these games, but recently discovered how great this piece is on the composer's orchestral "drammatica" album. When I stumble across awesome VG music, I usually come running to OCRemix to see what remixes/reinterpretations are available. I find this to be among the best compositions the SNES era had to offer, and there's not a single remix for it on here. Dear musically talented friends of OCR, please help correct this injustice. Edit:It was remixed for a later entry in the series, but the community here could do *so* much better

Hey everyone! My name is Josh Barron and I am not sure if some of you have heard of me but I used to have Kingdom Hearts piano collection project a few years ago. I have come back into the industry with a labor of love that has been going on for quite some time. I have assembled a group of string musicians to perform arrangements from various game titles. I will be making an album and this album will be called The ETHEReal String Project. Here is the tracklist: 1.
