Some Chrono Fan Arrangements Worth Checking Out (Video + MP3 Links!)

We rounded up some interesting Chrono series arrangements we’ve found on the Internet recently. First up, the video above mashes up an arrangement of Chrono Trigger‘s Undersea Palace with Marc Aurel’s song “Running.” Oh, and it also features nature documentary footage from the BBC (I think there’s some Planet Earth in there… if anyone can identify the footage, leave a comment!). Among all the remixes and AMVs to be found in the world, this is definitely one worth checking out. NEXT!

Okay, so you might not be interested in the British hip-hop stylings of Devlin, but his song “Community Outcast” samples the piece “Dream of the Shore Bordering Another World” from Chrono Cross. The melody is used many times in the game, technically, and was first found in Radical Dreamers. In any case, this is one of Mitsuda’s most haunting melodies, and it actually sounds quite good in this newly-crafted sample with added piano and drum beats. Also, the black-and-white video is reminiscent of the end credits of Chrono Cross, dontcha think? (thanks to Jay at STC for the tip)

And finally, keeping with the hip-hop mixes, you may want to check out the fanmade nerdcore album Chrono Nurga Volume 1 from YTcracker. Seven pieces from Chrono Trigger, all deftly remixed, with lyrics about saving the world and smoking *lots* of weed sprinkled on top. I could do without some of the lyrics, but it’s not all bad. And the musical arrangements might be to your liking.
