Kefka:

The original full title of this track is "Godspeed You! Mad Kefka", paying homage to one of my musical influences, as well as the source material of this track--Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy VI.

It was recorded in December 2020 for that months Dwelling of Duels competition, where it ranked 8th out of 27 entries.

Lavos:

This track was recorded back in 2015 and released in 2016 on the Chrono Trigger compilation album Chronicles of Time. www.chroniclesoftime.net

Originally, it was split into three parts and sections were trimmed in length for licensing purposes. In addition, there were samples used that had to be cut. While I've released versions in the past that had the samples put back in them, this is the first release where I put back in the parts I trimmed out (not that many, just a few shortened sections in the middle where I had shortened it from two loops to one loop). I also went back and tamed a little bit of the harshness in the mix to try to match it to Kefka.
