Chrono Symphonic

Whilst listening to quality internet radio the other night, I happened upon the playing of a familiar melody. I sat listening to it for nearly 5 minutes before I realized what it was. You see it was the lyrics that threw me off as the original was a midi. It was a symphonic piece modeled after the music from Chrono Trigger, what may be the most admired game of all time.

Chrono Symphonic is a construct made up by the online conglomeration of brain meats famous for its remixes of game music, OCRemix.org. Inspired by a screenplay written by a member, they sought to create a soundtrack for this potential movie. I have to say they were very successful in the quality of work they did on the music.

You can find the official site featuring the music and links to the screenplay, cd artwork, and a teaser trailer about the "movie."

The musical work itself is brilliant and inspiring drawing from almost every part of the game. Unfortunatly, there are two parts of the screen play that made me shake my head. Number one, they completely cut out Robo and Ayla, there is no mention of 65,000,000 BC, and Magus has a part which is not as big as his role in the game deserves. Number Two, which rivals number one in importance... Chrono talks... Big no-no... Thats his shtick, Chrono doesnt talk, ever, period. Other than that, there are no problems with the whole bit at all, the outline is well put together, a lil campy at the end, but the game was a little campy too at parts. Why shove the whole game into one movie anyway, it'd be way more marketable if it were split into multiples like so many movies are now, one can fit a lot more detail in. Plus... Imagine the draw of horny college kids you'd draw with a scantly clad lady with a tail and a hunky metal... robot... mmm, couldn't keep me away.

But as far as the Chrono Symphonic project goes. A+ Guys, love the work. And if you havent heard it, get it. Now.
