Jam of the Day: Warlock Battle by GUIDO (Chrono Trigger Arranged Version: The Brink of Time)
With a bazillion remixes of Yasunori Mitsuda’s beloved Chrono Trigger score in existence, it’s nice that GUIDO (Hiroshi Hata and Kalta Ohtsuki) took the road less traveled in their arrangements featured on The Brink of Time. If you’ve never heard the album, you should really seek it out.
Warlock Battle is my favorite track on there and it takes some interesting creative liberties with the Magus battle theme. Everytime I hear the guitar “laugh” about 47 seconds in, I can’t help but smile. It gets pretty insane at the end and honestly the last 30 seconds or so completely loses me, but the rest is so solid that it’s hard to complain.
