Complete Track List

The Complete Track List is structured according to .spc rips, or data from the actual game cartridge, rather than CD track lists. Translations are provided by DaBubba, ca. 1996. Thanks to zircon, Chris McGee and Conqueso for time signatures. Note that Frog's Theme is incomplete, the total version only appearing on the official releases. Battle 2, unused in Chrono Trigger, originally appeared in the Prerelease during Frog's flashback of fighting the Frog King.

All tracks composed by Yasunori Mitsuda except 17. Silent Light, 25. Mystery of the Past, 27. People Who Threw Away the Will to Live, 31. Bike Chase, 39. Underground Sewer, 41. Primitive Mountain, 45. Burn! Bobonga!, 49. Tyran Castle, and 53. Sealed Door, composed by Nobuo Uematsu, and 18. Boss Battle 1, composed by Nobuo Uematsu and Noriko Matsueda.

Liner Notes

Rebecca Capowski has translated Yasunori Mitsuda's liner notes for this album, and has allowed them to be posted here.

"In my life

I don't know whether it's a good or bad omen, but I write these notes while celebrating my 23rd birthday. But when do you think I made up my mind to compose music? Even though I didn't have much contact with music (save for a few piano lessons when I was young), something got a hold of me, and I decided to go into the field. I guess I wanted a reason to leave home as soon as possible. But I wanted to study from the moment I left, and I always thought there was nothing sweeter than to be able to eat my meals with music, so I talked to my parents about entering a new school. I can see it clearly even to this day - me, fearful and timid, hearing my father's words - "Go to Tokyo! This is your chance!" I don't think I'll ever forget it in my entire life.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that my life was changed from that moment on. My mere two years at the music school were hectic. I never realized that if this didn't work out, I couldn't just go home, for there'd be no place at a corporation for someone stupid like me. I did not learn, however, how to compose at the school; instead, I was led to think of music as a living organism. At that time, such a thought always proved staggering to me.

Thus I obtained my current job "composing" for the company called "Square". Next time, however, I suppose I'll have to take the first step and initiative in following my dream.

There are two sides two everything

Do you know which is the front and which is the back of a 10-yen coin? Either choice is the right answer! Whichever side you chose as the front can also become the back. Similarly, the human race has both good guys and bad guys. But if you look a little more closely, you'll see good and bad in every individual. Whichever side constitutes one's "front" is up to personal circumstance...

Music too has "fronts" and "backs"; if the "Major" is made the front, the "minor" becomes the back, and a composition has a front beat and a back beat. In short, if you have an understanding of both sides, you strike a good balance between them. Conversely, if one side is lacking, the balance collapses. I suppose that this's most vital to me, for it's what weighs most in my mind. I think I like grappling with the various factors of fate and chance that determine success or failure; it proves useful to me afterward, and I think it's intertwined with music.

What is composition?

Whenever I hear the question "What is composition?", I am always stumped for an answer - I wonder if "the means for my own search" is the most appropriate response? It's strange that my music could end up reflecting the conditions I was working in at the time, isn't it? Of course, that could say something about my psychological state of mind, but...(ha). I wonder if this isn't one of the most overly harsh jobs in the music industry? There's an extraordinarily high number of compositions, yet since the fans are in a broad age bracket, you have to have a knowledge of so many different musical styles, and the considerations of the screens and scenarios override the music you'd like to use. It's easy to fall prey to anything from a problem to a slump. These particular circumstances brought on a slump for me. (I must've tried to start writing the music 4 times!) I was stumped for a month and a half. I would think, "I've got to do this", but when I would set about going to work, nothing would come to me, and I'd lose my will to work. Mired and immobilized in my unease and dismay, I was brought to a standstill and felt that I'd never be able to get things done. I am incapacle of "Self-Control". What opened my eyes at that time and became the most important key to escaping my slump were the many opportunities I had to draw "Power" from speaking with others who had different ideas than I did and to see things from new perspectives. (Of course, that's not the only way to pull yourself out of a slump.) I strongly felt that my other obligations factored very little into my problems with this job. The reason for my slump boiled down to one issue.

With each composition I write, I feel I can learn a little more about myself. It's interesting! And so, I don't think I'll ever be able to stop composing, and I think that it's a miraculous thing that I can live my life through doing so. The age in which I was born. The environment in which I grew up. The people with whom I've come in contact whom I wish to thank from the depths of my heart.

And, in closing, to all those who supported me in this CD set's release - Uematsu-san, Sakaguchi-san, all the numerous staff members who gave me strength, and all those who bought this album - I would like to say one word - "thanks".

1/21/95, from the Brink of Time, Yasunori Mitsuda"

Unofficial Releases

.spc Rips

What is an .spc?

An SPC700 sound file (or SPC) is a type of video game music file consisting of a copy of a program and music data from RAM used by the SPC700 sound chip on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System or Super Famicom (though such data is usually obtained from a console emulator such as ZSNES or Snes9x, rather than from the system itself). The SPC700 chip (or emulator thereof) produces sound by executing the embedded program, which processes the stored music data and transforms them to a set of DSP commands responsible for reproducing sounds. The capabilities of the SPC700 DSP commands allow for music synthesis by samples (analogous to MOD or IT music playback); therefore it is possible to store, in only 64 kilobytes worth of data, music which, if stored as a digital audio waveform (eg. the format used in CDs), might take up several megabytes.

From: Wikipedia

SPC players can be found at Zophar.net. SNESAmp is the recommended choice. However, use the Compendium's, rather than SNESMusic's, Chrono Trigger soundtrack, as the latter is incomplete and contains erroneous sound effects.

Chrono Trigger - Extra Tracks

Second to the .spc sets, these songs were composed by Yasunori Mitsuda for the Extras menu of the Playstation version of Chrono Trigger. They have never been officially released; however, they have been tolerably recorded from the source and distributed. Please note that Rat-A-Tat-Tat It's... Mitsuda also appears in the Extras Menu; it was present in the original game, though never used. Download the .spc Chrono Trigger soundtrack instead to achieve maximum quality for that fanfare.

PLAY! A Video Game Symphony

Starting 2006, a suite of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross music has been performed by the traveling symphony PLAY!. They kicked things off in Chicago, and many composers (including Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu) attended the event. It seems no official release is planned at this time; we will stay on alert for a commercial recording. The songs that appear in the suite are:

  1. Reminiscing ~ Uneraseable Memory ~
  2. Chrono Trigger
  3. Chrono Cross ~ Scars of Time ~
  4. Frog's Theme
  5. To Far Away Times

Download a quality video of the performance here. Alternatively, you can download just the music. For other songs, try this recording of the Stockholm performance (100 mb, .rar): play.rar. Unfortunately, that .rar is glitched concerning Disc One - Track 18 and Disc Two - Track 37 Blue Dragon. I was able to get Blue Dragon going here.

Celestia: Square Enix Music Arrange Festival

This was a major event in the Japanese remixing community, where several RPG fans came together to make over 80 remixes for their favorite material. Standards in the Japanese remixing community aren't as rigid as they are in the US due to big sites like OCR and VGMix not existing over there; however, there are pieces of excellent quality in here, and you are not a Chrono fan if you do not bother checking these out. The lyrical At the Bottom of Night is a must, as well as the song simply titled Chrono Trigger.

Lyrics [they include a bracketed version of text to explain the lyrical meaning, since it's written in a bit of an older style]

赤く 喰らい込みその火蛾　　飽かずも逝き遅る
（赤い炎に捕らわれた蛾　　満足したわけもなく死に残る）
Caught within the red flames, the moth dies without necessarily being content with life.

黒く 爛らかしその彼我　　虚く宿命だと謂う
（黒く爛れたあたしとお前　　気が抜けたような宿命だったわね）
Blacked to a crisp, you and I, our destiny seems to have lost its will.

見え透いた諦め　　腐り始めた眼差
（見え透いた諦め　　腐り始めた眼差）
Giving up is so apparent, our perceptions begin to corrode.

あたしという　　矜持を否む
（あたしという　　存在の誇りを否定して）
Rejecting my existence, my honour, me.

紛う 愛しみ僻歌　　行き失す定けし瞬時
（入り乱れてもうわからない 可愛らしい僻歌　　行方も分からない確実な今という瞬間）
So complex nobody understands any more, the cute song. Where will the concrete present go, to become the unknown future.

赤く 喰らい込みその彼我　　飽かずも逝き遅る
（赤い炎に嵌り込んだあたしとお前　　満足したわけもなく死に残る）
Red flames enveloping you and I, dying without necessarily being content with life.

黒く 爛らかしその火蛾　　虚く運命だと謂う
（黒く爛れ焼けた蛾　　むなしいうつろな運命だったわね）
The moth blackened to a crisp, such an unfortunate fate.

今 君を捨て行こうか　　君さえ存在しなければ
（今 君を捨てて行くわ　　君の存在さえなかったならば）
Let me leave you behind, if only you had never existed.

独り 憶ってくれればいい　　失いたあたしを嗤って
（独り 思い出してくれればいい　　泣いて自分を失ったあたしを嘲笑ってくれたらいい）
Alone, just remember me. Smile for me, I, who cried and lost myself.

君とはぐれて 遠く
（今 君とはぐれて遠くへ）
Now, I'm lost and far away.

ただ独り 憂いてくれればいい　　微笑って
（ただ独り憂い想ってくれればいい　　微笑みながら）
Alone, just anxiously think of me, while smiling.

Hello everyone, I'm Circle's representative, Misaki. This is the first event our music group "Victy" has officially participated in, so this is kind of a debut for our song. As the chief editor [for our group] for this online event, I chose this song for it's powerful impression.

POP調であり若干ROCKを意識しつつもGuitarはなかったり、みたいなコンセプトで（何
聞かせどころはやはり後半のボーカルの掛け合いですね。
どうぞLiarの美声をご堪能くださいませ。
ちなみにタイトルは”ひがうた”と読みます、はい。
It's kind of a Pop-Rock mix with the Guitar, or at least the concept was, the second half was mostly just vocals.. Check out Liar's beautiful voice! And yes, the song title is pronounced "Higauta".

ダウンロードありがとうございました。
最後まで聞いていただけたらとっても嬉しいです。
そして、このCelestiaというイベントの場を作ってきた

Lyrics to the Dream: 

力に溺れ　我を失い
悪夢の果てに　何を見るの？
何を手に入れ
そこに愛はあるの？

見知らぬ地にて
彼の魔を討とうと　全てを投げる
忌み嫌われ　魔王と呼ばれ
愛はどこにあるの？

古のその力
我が身に宿りし
価値など求めもせず
ただその時を待つ


星が見る夢の中
時越えて駆ける運命、紡ぐ絆
星の夢の終わりに

届かなかった
星の嘆きは
奇蹟に近く
力あるもの　彼の元へは
力なき旅人

誰かのため
何かのために
戸惑いつつも
まだ知らない
不思議な気持ち
今日も風が靡く

OverLooked ReMiX

'OverLooked ReMiX' is, in their own words, "dedicated to ridiculous interpretations of video game music and video game culture". While many of the remixes strive to be as unpleasant to the ears as possible, several are true gems overlooked by the mainstream remixing community. Even the lousy ones are worth a download. You might even find them on your own playlist!

VGMix 1

http://www.vgmix.com has had two itinerations, the first being a sloppy site with little quality control.

Please note that VGMix 1 contributions often lacked the polish of the current VGMix's better pieces or OCReMixes.
