Music4Gameshas run their advance review ofOverClocked Remix’ssuper-ambitious upcoming albumFinal Fantasy VII: Voices of the Lifestream,a massive 45-song re-imagining of Nobuo Uematsu’s original score for the famed PlayStation role-playing game.
M4G bravely attempts to cover the four-disc compilation, which clocks in at almost three-and-a-half hours of listening time. Everything from the “Overworld” to “Sephiroth’s Theme” is covered by many genres of music, and reviewer Jayson Napolitano does his best to give us an idea ofwhat we can expectfrom the collection, calling it “one of the most impressive and encompassing listening experiences in the world of video game music.”
“It doesn’t get much better than this when it comes to arrangement albums,” says Napolitano. “Needless to say, if Square Enix does ever get around to aFinal Fantasy VIIremake, their new-and-improved score is ready to go.”
This freely available, fan-made album will be available to download atOverClocked Remixstarting on September 14th, so fans ofFinal Fantasy, Nobuo Uematsu, and game music in general should mark their calendars.
