    The way this entry got swapped with the next one in the listening party made perfect sense. We all sighed along anon there. However, this entry stands on it’s own two feet, and it’s an excellent way to represent Chrono (the birthday boy). Melancholic, epic and well executed, loved this arrangement!

    As I said in the chat, these are both games I’m spending a lot of time with in orchestra right now so I definitely can comment on this source material. Love the solo vocal with light guitar openings doing Scars of Time, before the mood change at 0:52 heading into the Chrono Trigger main theme. Gets nice and thick, and the drum fill is very graceful. Synth tone is chosen well, but sometimes the backing synth/guitar gets lost a little bit. Heavy bass drum gets slightly distracting for the few measures that it’s pretty heavy, not sure that fits quite right. Love the suddenly quieter section, and love the drum groove there too. Love the guitar tone at the ending, though the sudden abruptness of that shift hit me a bit. Ending is nice and clean though – good work anon

    That intro is full of love. I don’t know if it’s intentional, but the vox in the intro sounds a little too understated, like you didn’t want to wake up the people in your house, I know it’s supposed to be soft but it lacks a little bit of control. :48 hit me like a sack of bricks, awesome sound, I like how you adapted the source, it’s kinda slow but energetic at the same time, which is super dope, really nice synth sound. Lead guitar sounds great also, drums hit hard. Awesome arrangement.
