Disc 1
I like email!
Note that "+ SE" on the Opening Movies means those songs are that include the sound effects
Review: First thing to note: Disc 1 is FF1, and Disc 2 is FF2. Simple enough :) That being said, these arrangements are very nice, giving the music an almost---thats almost---orchestrated feel sometimes. It should also be noted that many tracks were added that werent on the original soundtracks. Im going to doa review on each game's soundtrack...
FF1's "Main Theme" is really nice and uplifting, I think that after it "Chaos Temple" takes too long to get started, however. Of course, one of the best songs on the FF1 soundtrack is always "Matouya's Cave" ...I enjoyed the original "Ship"/"Airship" and now they are only more amazing. "Underwater Temple" is creepy with very deep drums. The only problem is they dont have many tunes to work with so you keep hearing the same recurring tune over and over again, but practically all the music is beutiful. Im not sure I like how "Gurgu Volcano" was altered, however. All the new battle themes have parts of the original battle tune in them, but I enjoy them alot as well.
Okay, now onto FF2: I very much enjoyed "Battle Scene 1" with its fast-paced music and rapid drums, everytime it slows down a little the beat picks back up. Another track I really liked was "Castle Pandemonium" because of the big drum you hear occassionally in the songs, its a wonderful twist on the reccuring theme we hear in FF2. Then I enjoy the volley of battle themes at the end ("Battle Scene A"/"Battle Scene B"/"Battle Scene 2") Battle Scene B being one of the most strangest with the "egyptian" instruments, and Battle Scene 2 is probably the best battle theme on the album.
