"Dreams of the Shore Bordering Another World" from Chrono Cross on the Playstation (1999)
Composer: Yasunori Mitsuda
Record Label: Digicube SSCX-10040
Game Developer: Squaresoft
This song came up earlier while procrastinating from doing my homework and I thought, "Why have I not written a post about this song yet?" I had no good answer, you y'all're getting to listen to this today!
Despite the fact that I don't feel that Chrono Cross was a particularly good sequel to Chrono Trigger, it was a good game that had a great soundtrack. This track is used as the overworld theme once Serge crosses over to the "Other Aruni." It's beautiful as a stand alone piece, yet has that special something that allows it to be played over-and-over as theme while your characters traverse the world. I also really enjoy the simplicity of track, that it is performed by five voices: violin, piano, guitar, bass and a voice; especially during a time when I felt a lot of music from video games were trying to layer too many voice because the hardware at the time allowed more than limited number previously on the 8 and 16 bit consoles.
In the end, if you ended up having a negative view of Chrono Cross, at least give the soundtrack a try, great tracks like "Dreams of the Shore Bordering Another World" fill the entirety of the album. You might be missing out otherwise.
