Chrono: 15 Defining Pieces Of Music

15. Requiem (Radical Dreamers)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCqZjwepliw The only entry from Radical Dreamers on this list, as almost all of its music was reworked with higher sound quality on Chrono Cross. Having sadly never been able to play the game, given that it has only ever been released on a rare console add-on exclusively in Japanese, I am unsure as to what the theme is meant to be the backdrop to, but it€™s a lovely little 45-second piece regardless.

14. Burning Orphanage (Chrono Cross)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5B64Z-84uo A very tense and chaotic tune, deepened by the addition of a somewhat dark chorus line, this track makes for some intense listening towards the end of Chrono Cross.

13. Robo€™s Theme (Chrono Trigger)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEOSLHZwKwM Bizarrely, this tune sounds somewhat similar to Rick Astley€™s Never Gonna Give You Up, though composer Yasunori Mitsuda denies having heard of the 80s artist before the games release. Nevertheless, this makes for a highly catchy character theme.
