Ohohohohohooo...! What might this be...? A mistake, perhaps a trick, or is this really supposed to be the Chrono Cross Arrange album...?!

Of course, according to the tracklist, it's a number of pieces from a number of his different scores, not just Chrono Cross...

.

Yes, I'm familiar with Eminence.

What I'm asking is, do you suppose THIS is the "Chrono Cross Arrange" album we'll be getting, is an album with only a few Chrono Cross remixes on it, and done by orchestra?

Or do you suppose the Chrono Cross Arrange album that's supposedly in the works is going to be another, different album from this concert recording?

Seeing as the Chrono Cross tracks are in the minority, I doubt this is what we've been waiting for.  What a crime that would be.

I'm really excited to hear the arrangement of "Mai" from .hack//Liminality, though - it's a great track!  "Sweet Memories" or "Epitaph" would have been even better choices!

This is a studio recording of some of the pieces performed on a concert series called Passion. The Chrono Cross pieces are very nice indeed, and Yasunori Mitsuda himself took part in arranging them. The cd was supposed to be able to order via http://www.eminenceonline.com/2006/inde … erchandise but no luck there yet.

Here is info about the Passion concerts: http://www.eminenceonline.com/passion/info.php

This CD has been out since sometime last year -- I picked up a copy at Otakon, where Eminence performed live.

yeah, the Eminence recordings are NOT the CC Arrange. If they were, then Mitsuda would be a lying ass.

Yeah, I was just looking at the post card I got from his fan club (when it still existed) and he wrote on there that he was working on an actual Chrono Cross arranged CD.  This other thing isn't it (that said, anybody know if it's any good?).

It's not exceptional but it's not bad either.  If you have a thing for strings you might like it.  There are a lot of videos on Youtube of them performing in Australia and Otakon that can give you a good idea of what they sound like.

I have the Passion cd, the Studio Ghibli arrange cd and the John Williams film music arrange c d that they were selling at Otakon last year.

I wrote a review of this album last year and included in it are some sample clips:

Wow, I remember back in 2004 or something the CC arrange album would get a release... and it's still not out???? sheesh!!
