Notes

Celebrating the six-year anniversary of the release of Secret of Mana HD, EXCALIBUR features 47 arrangements in a variety of styles as eclectic as the original game score composed by Hiroki Kikuta. All of the key moments from this beloved 1990s Japanese RPG can be experienced again through this album's clever reimaginings, with highlights including a breathtaking cinematic version of the opening theme, "Fear of the Heavens," a bossa nova spin on the overworld theme, "Into the Thick of It," a killer Sega Genesis FM-style "Phantom and a Rose," a rambunctious Celtic pub take on "It Happened Late One Evening," complete with sound effects, and a searing metal arrangement of "Secret of the Arid Sands," among many others. The team behind EXCALIBUR has been diligently working on paying tribute to their favorite moments from the game for over five years, and their payoff comes today as listeners around the world can celebrate this music alongside them.
