Performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Arnie Roth.

- "Love Grows" is also known as the instrumental arrangement of "Eyes on Me". "Don't be Afraid" is the battle theme of FF8.

- My favorite piece in the album is "Memoro de la Stone~ Distant Worlds", even though I've never played FFXI. It was just that good.

- During the Vancouver concert, they played To Zanarkand (FF10) and Terra's Theme (FF6), which didn't make it on to the CD. It's too bad because they were really good songs.

I also included the following selections from the "Play! A Video Game Symphony" by Arni Roth, the principal conductor for the Distant Worlds Series:

Super Mario Bros. Medley
Metal Gear Solid
Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2
Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger Medley

Link

Performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Arnie Roth. The quality isn't so good because it was an audience recording.

This was performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra

Colours of Light is the compilation album of vocal pieces by Yasunori Mitsuda. It was released on August 26, 2009 in Japan by Sleigh Bells. The album is comprised of 14 remastered songs from games and soundtracks that he has composed, and one piece from an album of original songs by game music composers.

- My favorite song in any video game is that Radical Dreamers one from Chrono Cross. Creid and Small of Two Pieces from Xenogears would be next on the list

Edit: The files are a bit large because I'm very particular about quality

Wow. Thanks for compiling and uploading! Definitely going to give these a download and a listen.

Massive indeed. Thanks Jake!

Yes! Thank you, thank you!

HERBS!

There's something about Fisherman's Horizon that makes me want to cry. It's like all these feelings inside - happiness, sadness, anger, hate, peace - well up and want to go out. It's like standing on top of a cliff teetering on the edge of space and time and seeing all that ever was and all that ever will be around you, beautiful, dark, poignant.

Soulful, soulful music indeed.
