Review by Phil Pierce

This Piano rearrangement alblum of FFVII OST pieces is one to remember. Some of the best songs are taken and arranged in such a way that brings them out better than ever before and creates a very peaceful atmosphere that makes it a good sunday afternoon listen. Beware, it may put you in the best sleep of your life. The songs are all beautiful and easy on the mind. A couple of the pieces were also used for the Advent Children OST, so if you like those, you'll be getting a whole lot more of the same goodness. A great purchase for any fan of FFVII or Nobuo Uematsu's music.

The "reunion tracks" Cd contains a decent selection of pieces from the FFVII OST unaltered in any way, with a few odd choices here and there. At the end, however, are 3 glorious tracks that make the Cd completely worth it. 3 of the best songs from the OST performed by a symphony orchestra. They sound truly beautiful and near flawless from a performance standpoint. And if you are a One-Winged Angel fan, don't even hesitate.

FFVII: Advent Children has been blessed with a wonderful composer named Nobuo Uematsu, and he just keeps getting better. This soundtrack features several pieces from Final Fantasy VII, remixed and decked out, and also has a lot of original pieces. Either way, it's all great. The first disc contains slower, peaceful music, several of which are performed on the Piano. The second disc is action-oriented and fast paced. Even if you haven't seen the movie, the soundtrack is extremely enjoyable. There's not a flaw to be found!
