Xenogears Creid

My service was very prompt and the product arrived unflawed and with all the original bits to it. I am very happy with it, having had a burned copy for three years and trying to find am original copy all that time. Good job!

Love it.

Awesome music. I got MYTH from Square-enix directly and both are quite good. This one is a more classic arranged list. If you are a fan of Xenogears or just like nice music I highly recommend this. Simply stunning music.

This soundtrack is simply gorgeous. I acquired elsewhere, but it doesn't change the fact that this is beautiful music. The japanese versions of Stars of Tears and Small Two of Pieces (Two Wings is Stars of Tears and Mebius is Small Two of Pieces) are wonderful, even if I can't understand a word. The other songs are just as good. Dajil deserves special mention. A wonderful arrangement of the original. Buy this. The price is well worth it.

Great album, inspired by Xenogears but essentially a standalone album. It's essentially Celtic music at times, but varies quite a bit.Here's the track list, since Amazon didn't translate.1. Melkaba2. Two Wings3. Balto4. Creid5. Dajil6. Stairs of Light7. June Mermaid8. Spring Lullaby9. Lahan10. Mebius

Yasunori Mitsuda shines once again, with this stunning rearrangement of the Xenogears sountrack. .IMHO, this CD can hardly be called an arrangement to a Video Game, because it takes on a mood all of it's own. All of the soundtracks on this CD are fully orchestrated, and several of them are even vocalized.Altogether, Yasunori Mitsuda has taken ten of the most beautiful tracks from Xenogears, and given them a celtic or worldly feeling. Dazil, the theme of the desert city, now has some haunting distant vocals, with an electric guitar belting out the main theme. Lahan (one of the most memorable town themes) has been given a very festive feel, as the song grows more celebratory with each cord.This CD can be loved by everyone, I've played it for some of my friends who dislike video games, and they to have quickly become fans. If I was being forced to choose the best soundtrack arrangements, Creid would certainly be competing for first.

Ok, so maybe that's not the greatest analogy, "Kind of Blue" being jazz and this being...completely different, but as it can be considered among the best of jazz, "Creid" can easily be considered up there with the best of VGM. It is, as another reviewer said, an acquired taste. But once you get into it, mmm boy. Every song on here, without exception, is a masterpiece, blending all kinds of different textures and styles along with the great melodies of Xenogears to create something that is truly heavenly. It also features two vocal songs from the Xenogears OST, except sung in Japanese, which IMO makes them sound even better. You need to hear this album, even if you've never been a fan of VGM or have never heard of Xenogears. I'm serious.

Okay, to first start out, if you aren't into this sort of genre of music (or if you aren't vaguely familiar with the epic saga that is Xenogears), then you might want to consider other options before buying this piece. Packed with a ton of the music from the game, the CD's recording quality is enough to give RPGers that warm, fuzzy feeling of nostalgia all over again. Everything from Lahan to id is in this package, and it's well worth the somewhat high price. A wonderful compliment to possibly the greatest game out there.

Creid has been one of my favorite albums for years now. Personally, I think it is Mitsuda's best album. While some of my favorite tunes of his aren't featured here, the album is phenomenal. 二つの羽根 and 春の子守歌 in particular. There are times where I will sit down and simply listen to it from start to finish. The music fills me up with life. It emotionally takes me to a place I can't often seem to get to with other music.Of all of the music I listened to from around ten years ago, Creid is one of the few that I still consistently listen to.

他の方も仰られてますが、ケルト音楽？とかそういう系の音楽に興味がないと「何じゃこりゃ」となるかもしれません。私は別に嫌いではないと思いましたが原曲のイメージが強いと、ちょっと「……。」「MELKABA」などは別にこんなアレンジしなくてもよかったのでは・・。全体的に聴くと完成度も高く、いいアルバムだと思います。しかし光田氏はこういう事がやりたかったのかなあ・・？まあ、これはおそらく、好みの問題だと思います。日本語の歌は、ちょっと残念です。

オリジナルのサントラもいいけれど、このお洒落な感じは聞いていて心地いいです。コンサートではおなじみのBalto等は特にお勧めです。

やっと買うことが出来ました。昔から好きで好きでカセットで聞いていたのですが改めてCD買ってよかった♪自分はとても気に入ってます☆昼間とかに部屋で流してるとのんびり出来ます♪

これ、光田さんの魅力が出ていて好きです!Small two of piecesやStars of tearsの日本語版があります。やはり日本語版と英語版なら英語版の方が好きなのですが、DAJIL、BALTO、LAHANあたりはゲームの曲とは全く解らない素敵なケルト色の強いアレンジです。お洒落な店内のBGMとかに使われてそうです。
