Review by Chi-Sze

The first time I heard this soundtrack, it wasn't one of my favourites even though I tend to adore any that Joe Hisaishi churned out in the past. I'd have to say that even if some of the themes were a tad disparate, this has to be one of my most favourite soundtracks.

This is one of my favourite Studio Ghibli soundtracks that was composed by Joe Hisaishi. It is a marvellous OST with a romantic lilt that corresponds so well to the style and feeling of the movie. :)

This is a really gorgeous soundtrack that expands the melodies featured in FFVII in the game into the full orchestral work that was played during the course of the film. With 2 discs, it is absolutely value for money!

It's sad to know that this was the final single to be ever released by Pierrot - but it's great to know that they've ended their run on an truly high note.

This isn't one of my favourite albums by one of my favourite Japanese bands, but there are enough stand-out songs to make the purchase really worthwhile.

The person I got it for is an absolute fan of Metal Gear Solid (MGS) and he got me totally addicted to the soundtrack. For any fan of Harry Gregson-Williams and amazing soundtracks, you must get this album. You're heart would not fail to race at the tempo set by the tracks. :)

Having played the game right through, the songs have seeped into my conciousness to the extent that whenever I play the album, I am reminded of the levels that I have heard the music! Nevertheless, if you haven't played the game, this is a fantastic collection of odd-ball songs from a wide range of music genres. Listen to it and let the amazing music sink in!
