I’m a huge fan of Secret of Mana’s stellar soundtrack. It’ll probably be the next Song Highlights I do. Recently, Square-Enix reconnected with composer Hiroki Kikuta to release an arrangement album for the game in Japan called Genesis, and it’s really, REALLY good. Kikuta kept a retro sound to his approach, which makes it sound like a later Super NES title, and it’s glorious. Here’s a sample, “Wilderness”, a remix of “In the Thick of It”.
You can order the physical disc here, or buy it on iTunes for $9.99. Sample further from the Youtube user TheQuezacotl. I’m adding this to my Christmas list.
