^^Yeah, the vocals ruin the tracks they're on. Pure cheese. I hate that kind of stuff.
Having said that though, the music itself is beautiful. Makes me want to hit those games up again soon. Chrono Trigger has always been one of those classics that I wish I could have actually played back when it first came out. Would have been an amazing feeling, playing something like that for the first time when it was actually new, not knowing quite what you're getting into. I got to experience that with Chrono Cross (which is excellent), but I would have loved it with Trigger.
On the subject of game music, I just saw on amazon that most of the Assassin's Creed soundtracks are finally coming out on physical cds, which is very cool. I've wished for a while that I could get a physical release of the Revelations soundtrack, but always figured too much time had passed already.
It's still super unlikely, but this gives me a teensy bit of hope that other previously-digital-only game soundtracks might eventually pop up physically, such as the one for Remember Me (one of my favorite OST's of last gen). Would be nice. Looks like the company putting out the AC ones (Sumthing Else Musicworks) actually has the digital Remember Me OST on their site as well, so maybe it's possible.
