For Music Lovers / Nerds...

For those who don't know, I recently attended a Final Fantasy concert held by the Chicago Pops Orchestra in Chicago, IL: A concert of Composer Nobuo Uematsu's work from Final Fantasy's I through XI. Now, many people think that this makes me an ubar-nerd. This may be, but I am of the frame of mind that Nobuo Uematsu is a genius. I have always loved his music from the Final Fantasy series as if it were the soundtrack to a great movie; it certainly adds a sense of emotion to the games that would NOT be present otherwise.

That being said, I bring you to the point of my thread. I recently found the released Chains of Promathia Soundtrack online, 24 songs worth. Again, this may sound extremely nerdy... but to any Nobuo Uematsu fans, or general music lovers, I post this link for you. They are not simply cut from the game; these songs are longer, unedited, and professional quality, taken from an actual orchestra performance in Japan. Some of the music is simply astounding, and I leave it to you to test:

I was also in Chicago for the concert. ^^ Incredible stuff. Damn SE for the $20 programs, my wallet is now (Too Weak). I was upset that One-Winged Angel wasn't on the setlist...and then the encore....oh my lord....

For those of you who enjoy Nobuo Uematsu's music, also check out his rock band The Black Mages:
