5.Silence before the storm

Nobou Uematsu is the composer who is synonymous with Squaresoft and Final fantasy. Born in 1959 in Kouchi city in Japan he is probably the most popular game music composer of all time largely due to his phenomenal music in the Final fantasy series. His music tends to be brilliantly constructed rather than emotionally heavy. By his own admittance he wants to be known as a craftsman rather than a musician. But all his tunes grow on you with time and he has produced some real gems too.

=>From Chrono trigger. Nature and music in a perfect symphony.

7.Mining Melancholy         MP3 Version

=>From Chronocross.Two examples of creating an atmosphere. Note the difference.

9.Hive

=>From DK2. Fast and furious.

10.Angel         Slower Version

=> From Secret of mana. Starts with a beautiful melody which merges into a fast brilliant tune.
