Err... sort of. The ║ ║ orchestral instruments are actually sampled, rather than ║ ║ performed live. Although this is somewhat noticeable at ║ ║ times, it doesn't detract from the experience and overall ║ ║ is an amazing presentation of symphonic-style music. ║ ║ ║ ║ Numerous Ys tunes are melded into just a few, longer ║ ║ movements, adding to the symphonic theme. The arrangement ║ ║ is excellent; the melodies from the game are easily ║ ║ recognized but are significantly improved upon. The ║ ║ pieces are for the most part serene and tranquil but ║ ║ reach climaxes that - in a word - rock. The end result is ║ ║ an impressively dramatic listening experience. ║ ║ ║ ║ There's little question Ys has one of the best game ║ ║ soundtracks ever, and this CD does it total justice in ║ ║ symphonic form. Fans of Ys as well as those unfamiliar ║ ║ with the game should definitely experience this rendition ║ ║ of the classic game's music. It is absolutely one of the ║ ║ classic arranged game soundtracks. ║ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔═════════════════════╗ ║ Track List ║ ╠═════════════════════╩═══════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Nr.

We aim to be a free alternative ║ ║ to all those Hong-Kong CDs sold more than twice their price, ║ ║ while exploring new musical horizons. ║ ║ Moreover, we don't aim to release all the latest news, as we ║ ║ rather concentrate on the music itself. Like it or hate it, but ║ ║ give it a try. Or die. ║ ║ Our goal is to spread Japanese music in order to promote it. ║ ║ Piracy is just the present way to do the job, until copyright ║ ║ holders decide to properly do their job. ║ ║ ║ ║ About our releases. We noticed many teams release Japanese ║ ║ music through HK CDs from various brands as SM, EverAnime and ║ ║ so on. We are strongly against this attitude, as these releases ║ ║ are poor quality bootlegs. Just as no one would dare release a ║ ║ title ripped from a HK DVD, we will NEVER release anything who ║ ║ come from a HK CD. It's just a matter of respect to the users. ║ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔═════════════════════╗ ║ Greets ║ ╠═════════════════════╩═══════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ GiSO ║ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
