  Another highly anticipated album, Seiken Densetsu/Legend of Mana Arrangement Album: Promise featuring arrangements of music by Yoko Shimomura will be released on September 30, 2015.

  Square Enix Music  has posted samples of all the albums 12 tracks which you can listen to here.  The translated English track list is as follows:

  01	Hometown of Domina
  02	To the Sea
  03	Polpota Harbor
  04	Legend of Mana
  05	Picturesque Landscape
  06	Traveler’s Road
  07	Singing Wind, Journey’s Path
  08	Tango Appassionata – As the Heart Wills
  09	Such Cruel Fate
  10	Seven Shades of Life – Bejeweled City in Ruins
  11	Nostalgic Song Reprise – Finale
  12	Song of MANA

  
  From what I’ve heard of the samples, the majority of the music has a soul bossa nova sound to it.  The album is available for pre-order from Square Enix Music.  Is this an album you’re looking forward to?

  In Loving Memory of Squaresoft: Love SQ (Review)

  December 7, 2009 | Jayson Napolitano | 4 Comments Share this In Loving Memory of Squaresoft: Love SQ (Review)

  

  While it was released early on iTunes in North America, we finally have our hands on the physical Love SQ album from Japan. In case you’ve forgotten, Love SQ is an album that pays tribute to some classic Square Enix franchises through 10 unique arrangements from 10 diverse artists. From big band swing to electronic to chip, it’s all here.

  While there are only ten tracks, they total almost an entire hour of listening, and the production values get quite high… but also quite low when it comes to a few of the arrangements. I’m sure you’re wondering which franchises Square Enix has decided to pay tribute to, and while I’m sorry to say it’s half Final Fantasy, there’s still some great stuff here.

  Read on for our full review of Square Enix’s Love SQ album. (more…)

  Square Enix Loves The US: Love SQ Album Hits US iTunes Store Early

  November 23, 2009 | Jayson Napolitano | 4 Comments Share this Square Enix Loves The US: Love SQ Album Hits US iTunes Store Early

  

  Yeah, it’s not often that the US gets something from Square Enix before Japan does (and it could possibly be a mistake), but blogger Tatsuhiko Miyagawa noticed that Square Enix’s upcoming arrangement project, Love SQ, is available on the US iTunes Store at this very moment.  From what I can gather, the street date was supposed to be November 25, 2009, so consider it an early present from Square Enix!

  The album itself features 10 electronic arrangements from classic Square Enix franchises including Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, and Romancing SaGa, and Legend of Mana.  We previewed one of the tracks on the Square Enix Music Sampler CD Vol. 4 a few months ago, and were quite impressed with what we heard, so go check out the samples and pick it up early!

  [Thanks Jacob!]
