Woo~ awesome!!!

So um...what's the source of this music? Or is it newly (or perhaps oldly but unrelated to games) composed?

[CHz]

Arrangements of No Heroes Allowed! (1~5) and Echochrome I (6~16) and II (17). There was a concert performance in St. Petersburg, Russia on March 30, but I'm not sure if this is a concert recording or a re-recording.

The Echochrome II piece appears to be new for this album, since it wasn't performed at the concert as far as I know.

[Zanasea]

According to the booklet, it was recorded during several days in St Petersburg (actually this is not a recording of the public concert that was shown on Ustream).

[TerraEpon]

That's pretty common in classical music -- making a recording in the studio in the same time frame as a concert.

-Updated album information based on the booklet
Here is a staff list which is more readable.

Spoiler:

I'm not accustomed to editing album information. So feel free to fix it.

Listened to this over the weekend, and I gotta say, that dungeon medley from "No Heroes Allowed!" is very Dragon Quest-y. If the baton is passed in the near future, I think I'd prefer Hideki Sakamoto to, say, Hayato Matsuo.
