I am really surprised no one already ask for it ! Am I really the only one interested on this one ? 😁

I am also interested

It's been mentioned here and there but hasn't had its own request thread yet. But I am interested in this as well and will post it if I find it.

I'm interested too! :)

Same here!!

Interested +1!!!!

The description confuses me:


We are pleased to bring you this orchestral arrangement box set, featuring arrangements of the performances from the concert, CHRONO ORCHESTRA—Wings that Cross Time—, at Osaka in September 2019 and at Tokyo in October 2019! Supervised by composer Yasunori Mitsuda, this ambitious piece was newly recorded in a music hall environment with full orchestral arrangements.

So are these CDs live recordings, or recorded in the music hall with the same arrangements as the concerts?

From the SQUARE-ENIX website: https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/570577/chrono-orchestral-arrangement-box-set-cd#/shortdesc

The orchestral arrangement box is a studio recording. The concert hasn't been announced to be released but I feel like Mitsuda might get it on Blu-ray similarly to the Xenogears concert last year.

So the arrangement box has three CDs Chrono Trigger (8 studio recordings), Chrono Cross (8 studio recordings) and a Piano duo bonus mini album (also studio recorded).They will most likely feature the same arrangements, but Mitsuda did surprise us in the past (Xenogears Concert) with concert exclusive arrangements.

The Chrono Orchestra upcoming concerts are more in line with the Nier Orchestra concerts (exact same type of 3 discs box studio release followed by a couple of concerts), which had a blu-ray release so it's likely we'll get one for Chrono Orchestra. Mitsuda will only be a talking guest in these.
I would compare the Xenogears 20th Anniversary concert with the upcoming Chrono Cross 20th Anniversary live tour where Mitsuda will actually play with a team of selected musicians, just like he did for the Xenogears one.

Clearly we have to wait that someone make a rip of these CDs, since there aren't any digital lossless download I think, so I think we have to wait some more days

Anyways if you haven't listen already, here are samples of every tracks: https://www.jp.square-enix.com/music/sem/page/chrono/orchestra/

My copy of CHRONO Orchestral Arrangement BOX is on the way, so if I have time I will do a personal rip (FLAC + SCANS) but I can't guarantee 100%.

Master JJ you will be giving me the only thing I look forward to as of late. My life has been utter shit this week... :(

THANK YOU!

Just waiting for the 4 piano tracks from the box set now. :) To whoever uploads the box, would it be possible to create a separate upload with ONLY the piano tracks please?

The Sitting on Clouds links just give me spammy popup windows. Could someone please upload directly to MegaUpload or MediaFire?


EDIT: Never mind, after I did the check box CAPTCHA I was taken to another page, and on this page I clicked the red button after waiting a few seconds.

Thanks @ OrchestralGamer! The Mirror links are for Userscloud, which isn't a bad service, especially if you register for a free account. At least it doesn't go through ouo.io with its ridiculous captcha. I swear I checked all the boxes right, but it still keeps telling me to try again.

Here are direct links, courtesy of the awesome Universal Bypass (https://universal-bypass.org/) extension. Sorry, no UsersCloud links because my AV blocks that site.

Stupid question: how good are the FLAC rips found on "Sitting on the Cloud"? Are they genuine (or just MP3 converted to FLAC)?

Sittingonclouds is usually serious about this and they are always real FLAC, infact I've analyzed those 3 CDs (just because I like to analyze files) and they are real FLAC

Not a stupid question at all! I had wondered this myself about some releases, especially after the Bloodstained bullshit.

I was not aware of this controversy(?)... Care to elaborate? (I just replaced some of the FLACs I have with FLACs from Sitting on the Cloud :'( )

The Steam/GOG digital release of the Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night soundtrack was badly done. A lot of tracks ended abruptly. And the FLACs were merely re-encoded MP3s. Someone uploaded a rip from his LRG release, though, and that one's really nice.

Thanks for the clarification! Yeah... Sometimes even "official" digital releases suck! :(

Looks like it's the good one. There's no abrupt end and the spectrogram on flacs do not show any cutoff at 16khz.

The links are there....

Thank you very much for these!

Thanks. These are great.

While we're on the topic of Chrono music does anyone have working download links to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross OSTs in lossless. Every link I've found in this awesome forum is either dead or some stupid adfly thing that wants me to click something that isn't there.
