About Hamauzu and his "Final Battle" from FFX, here is one of his main inspirations :

Had the pleasure to edit the video for this ( pretty awesome ) prog/fusion cover by Tetrmino !

My dear friend Martyprod is starting to post exclusive JW clips again !

Now I must add that I also love the FFXIII-2 and FXIII-3 OSTs They came up with brilliant, innovative ideas for these such as the themes morphing into "agressive mix" mode in XIII-2, or the different town themes depending of the time of the day in XIII-3 ! I especially love this absolutely gorgeous song, written by Naoshi Mizuta, sung by Joelle

Here's a video I made which compiles all of the classical themes Symphony X has used throughout their discography

I'm enjoying every second of this show. Absolutely brilliant so far

I loved that cue he had playing during the "payphone" scenes of Episode 3, great stuff !

The FFX Concerto is more than a mere arrangement, here's what Hamauzu says about it :

New collab' with SongeLeReveur ! Recorded a whole bunch of horn and trumpet tracks for this one

That "fireworks section" in the second movement of the FFVII Symphony is genius ! I was wondering...are there any other classical pieces with the same kind of "firework effect" ?

Completely addicted to this show

Absolutely blown away by this release. The kind of FF arrangements I've been waiting for for a long time ! Very ambitious, innovative, and masterfully done

I teamed up with good friend Didier Martini to create this medley of cues from Jedi

A little glimpse inside my brain when creating these medleys

I'm doing a little series of making-of videos about the FF8 Medley ! And here's the first one

Thanks man ! Oui Dream Theater resteront toujours mon groupe préféré de tous les temps, assurément

Thanks man ! Yeah I bet my main drumming influence sounded pretty evident to you ^^ Discovering prog 15 years ago with Metropolis Part 2 absolutely changed my life, so I owe DT and especially MP a lot of things. He was kind enough to play one of my French Horn Tributes to DT before each show during the '09 Progressive Nation European Tour ( seeing the faces of 3000 metalheads listening to 17 minutes of french horn is something I'll never forget ) I also did some work for him ( for Flying Colors to be exact ) To this day he's still quite simply the one artist I admire the most ! Anyway, thanks for your kind words dude! Very glad you enjoyed the medley

After months of work I'm very excited to finally present my latest creation, the 2nd Part of my Final Fantasy VIII Medley, in the form of a true Progressive Rock Epic Featuring many talented musicians from all the world !

Nobody's inspired ?

2 => Zimmer - Broken Arrow 4 => Desplat - Benjamin Button And here's a good old blindtest ! => https://www.mediafire.com/?39cla82k8b7x16a I did it for another forum which isn't film music-oriented so no doubt some of these will be quite easy for you guys to find 0'00 => 0'20 => 0'40 => 1'00 => 1'20 => 1'40 => 2'00 => 2'20 => 2'40 => 3'00 => 3'20 => 3'40 => 4'00 => 4'20 => 4'40 =>

After a year of work I'm excited to finally present the first part of my Final Fantasy VIII Medley, featuring many talented musicians from the US, Japan, France, Spain and Egypt !

This, will be a must-see !

No ideas for #4 ?
