Great news, I hope both discs live up to the standard that the Black Mage's first two releases have set! Can't wait to see some of my favourite battle themes get on there which missed being chosen for the first release...("Premonition" would be awesome, yet it's highly doubtful they'd choose that)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh, it's just that I thought that it was an underrated track (which I obviously think it isn't). The people who I've talked to about the FFVIII soundtrack didn't think much of it. =/ Oh yeah, and "The Sword Of Doubt" wouldn't be overlooked if it found it's way on the third album. But yeah, I agree with SuperSonic, where's the "Dark Messenger" love?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll answer on SuperSonic's behalf; yes, "Premonition" is played when you fight Edea in both disc 1 and disc 2. I'm not sure about Ultemicia though, unless you just mean when you fight Edea while she's possessed by Ultemicia...

Well, it's an awesome tracks nonetheless.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, now you mention it it's really clear in my mind...I should really play it again my FFVIII knowledge is growing rusty. =P

I'm honestly expecting about a 50/50 split with this album in terms of the successfulness of the arrangements. From what I've heard of the samples, this doesn't sound too bad after all. I'm still a sucker for rock arrangements of classic FF tunes, so I'm pretty sure I'll like this even if there are quite a few stinkers.

I'm about the hugest fan of "Premonition" you'll find anywhere, by the way.

I was speaking idiomatically.

This is my favourite of the Black Mages albums, but I'm still not completely blown away by this. Not a huge fan of the new synthesis-orientated arrangements, but most of the arrangements themselves are pretty solid with this cleaner, clearer sound. "Distant World", "Grand Cross" and "Premonition" are absolute winners in my book.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
