I have reason to believe Takenobu Mitsuyoshi is one of the happiest men alive. (「Let’s Go Away -H. version-」 (English Subtitles))
Also, two organ solos that are slightly too big for tumblr.
Some of my favorite albums and songs, have no words in them.
Went looking at the newer albums on OverClocked Remix last night and Seven Songs for Seventh Saga caught my attention. I’ve never played the game but these arrangements are so beautiful.
My only criticism is the pieces aren’t quite long enough for me! :P
Kudos to Sebastian Freij and the ocremix team behind the album. I can see this being a favourite of mine for some time.
As we like to say, we honestly believe people should NEVER skip any OC ReMix material even if they don't know the game, because it could be awesome stuff even without the nostalgic connection. :-)
Thank you for giving Seven Songs for Seventh Saga a chance, and for sharing it!
I know, I know, it’s free. It’s volunteer work. I’m an entitled millennial and no one owes me etc etc etc. But if the album’s not ready to be released in August, don’t announce it’ll be out in August and then have no updates even as we go into September. That’s just courtesy, man.
I’m increasingly convinced “Summer 2015″ is getting missed as well. Guess we’ve got a few weeks to find out.
We missed it! ;-) http://ff9.ocremix.org
Clarifying, we WERE shooting for 8/24, but then we noticed 9/9 was perfect and not much further ahead, which would have silly to not promote it with, and it was the 20th anniversary of the PS1 in North America at the same time. Maybe a week and a half after mailing everyone, I made the call to go for the gimmicky (but fun) 9/9. We hope you enjoy it though, and sorry for the extra wait! :-) -Larry

Official Press Release
September 9, 2015 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA... OverClocked ReMix today released its 53rd arrangement album, Final Fantasy IX: Worlds Apart. The album pays tribute to Final Fantasy IX, released by Square in 2000 for the Sony PlayStation. Featuring 58 tracks from 57 artists, Worlds Apart is directed by OC ReMixer and Alien: Isolation BAFTA-winning sound team member Cain "Fishy" McCormack, and is available for free download at http://ff9.ocremix.org. Worlds Apart includes a diverse roster of musicians honoring composer Nobuo Uematsu's largest soundtrack in the Final Fantasy series by arranging it in a number of styles, including folk, prog rock, gypsy jazz, bossa nova, acid jazz, pop, metal, EDM, chiptune, and more. Worlds Apart was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Square Enix; all original compositions are copyright their respective owners. "Twice in interviews, Mr. Uematsu has said that the Final Fantasy IX soundtrack is his favourite of the series. I definitely think it's the most cohesive effort in the series," observed director Cain McCormack, who also noted that many of Worlds Apart musicians' "joined OC ReMix just for this project because of how much they love FFIX. Spotlighting the game music you really love is what we're all about here, and I feel like that is particularly true with this album." The album's cover artwork was designed by Kevin "TheGreyNinja" Merriman, whose work was most recently included in UDON's upcoming hardcover art book Capcom Fighting Tribute. Supplementing Merriman's cover artwork are 19 visual art pieces by contributors to video game art fan community Game-Art-HQ depicting Final Fantasy IX's major protagonists and villains. Game-Art-HQ founder Reinhold Hoffmann oversaw the visual artwork effort, confident that Game-Art-HQ members could commemorate, in his words, "the masterpiece that is Final Fantasy IX and its rich cast of interesting characters." Hoffmann also anticipates future Game-Art-HQ team-ups with OC ReMix, adding, "This was our first collaboration with OCR, and we look forward to future collaborations to create beautiful tributes to our favourite video games that combine both music and visual art!" Worlds Apart's release also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the original Sony PlayStation in North America, celebrating the Final Fantasy series' final PS1 entry.
