Chrono Trigger OST - Singing Mountain (Unreleased Track)

[2xRoachx2]

fuck allah

[StickEmFan]

and the battles should not stop the song

[StickEmFan]

0:50 they should've put this in death peak

[Barbe]

@StickEmFan

Yeah, and did a better way than the damned winds there. >.<

[devilheihachi1]

Man, when I heard the soundtrack, I always thought it was a shame that they left this song out of the game - such a beautiful track. I was also disappointed that they never used the alternate battle theme either...I really kinda liked it better than the battle theme they used.

[IphilaroSindri]

This version from 1986 is better, trololo : /watch?v=hIlosEsXjMQ

[shadowkill546]

Reminds me of Glen visiting the tombstone of his friend, freeing the spirit of Cyrus.

[iRoxas12]

this song is to cry

[gshaul420]

epic game is epic

[injektileur]

hey, Peyser, mentioning songs that aren't/weren't there, I can't find "the runaway" in this chrono trigger OST playlist ? (you know, when chrono escapes after the trial, and at some other points in the game I reckon)

where is it ?

[ChronoMagus3]

@injektileur It's called "A Shot of Crisis" if I'm thinking about the same song you are.

[injektileur]

@ChronoMagus3

yes you are

=D thank you very much

[SmaddyDiva]

I always thought this track would have been perfect for Mt Woe.

[DJYuzoboy]

FF6 world map music?

[MeingroessterFan]

@DJYuzoboy Now that you say it...

[savigy1301]

@DJYuzoboy no?

[rubilacxe1]

It probably seems familiar because it sounds a lot like music from Studio Ghibli's Laputa/Castle in the Sky

[zigzagzom]

They didn't even cut this -.- my copy of Chrono Trigger has it

[Nitromatic]

@zigzagzom

Yes, the DS version, but not the SNES one. :)

[Chucknorrisaurrus]

I have trouble believing this is unreleased. I feel as though I've heard it before.

[ShamanTheHedgehog]

@Chucknorrisaurrus it's just in your head, mason (lol.) it's just how mysterious it is. also, studies show that if you see a photoshopped pic of you with some girl, you'll remember her even if you didn't meet her. the ominous touch makes it familiar, huh? then it's in your head! =P

[ShamanTheHedgehog]

@Chucknorrisaurrus jk u hear it on death mountain, i think it's only for the ds version

[FenrirsDarkSeal]

This would have been amazing on Death Peak. It's a damn shame they cut this.

[ArtieStrongManMusic]

I could see why it was cut though... Sounds like it'd belong better in Secret of Mana than Chrono Trigger.

[DarkMegaXXL]

This was unreleased on the SNES and PSX versions,but made it on one of the Vortex(s) (The extra dungeons),on a snowy mountain.

This soundrack is one of the best,why did they cut it off...?

[NightfallGemini]

This sounds like it could have easily been a Xenogears track. Did Mitsuda compose this one or Uematsu?

[Charmolution]

@NightfallGemini

This is definitely a Mitsuda.

[CooLDsteR]

It was briefly used during the Epic time travel transition thingy.

[FullmetalninjaDR]

This is a fucking shame.....this quite a good track

[KarlBonner1982]

Another relevant question is: what was the Singing Mountain itself supposed to be like, in terms of storyline and plot? I'm especially curious because the atmosphere this music sets seems radically different from the music that you actually hear while exploring the Age of Reptites.

[bob1986]

@KarlBonner1982

The only clue we have is in a prototype Chrono Trigger cartridge someone acquired from...somewhere. Since it's an early alpha, most of the game isn't stringed together or complete but using hacks you can freely explore it. Singing Mountain is in the prehistoric era, a moutain cave up on the cliffs. It's just a generic unfinished looking standard cave area with no enemies though, although it does have the SM music playing.

[turbokiera]

DS version has this :) lovely lovely lovely.

[BusaLova]

Why is it so damn hard to get a hold of a working copy of Chrono Trigger in Europe with some obscure converter : /

[ReloadPsi]

@BusaLova They probably wouldn't have been able to do the multiple translations that tend to be needed for a text-heavy European release. Nowadays that's not an issue.

[technopixie96]

I dont get why everyone hates the first 40 seconds with the gate noises and that. Personally i like it because it builds up to the song. Just my opinion though.

[SuperMario143]

If there was ever a song that played when you had to climb up a snowy mountain during a blizzard, this would be it.

[willisan]

Almost sounds like a theme from Nausicaa for a second there..

[LeviathanLP]

@willisan Actually it very closely resembles the main theme for Castle in the Sky. Look it up, it's very uncanny.

[SergeOfArniVillage]

This is an excellent track, a shame it didn't make the cut :( Thanks for posting this!

[heerogunkenobi]

square enix did however put the song singing mountain back on the nintendo ds version where you explore a bonus dungeon

[SergeOfArniVillage]

kenobi:  I didn't know that! :o That's neat! Thanks for telling!

[heerogunkenobi]

any time

[SuperSlash132]

I've heard it was the area you start at right after the Magus battle, which explains why you can hear the Gate before the actual song begins. Also, I can hear the wind sound as I listen to this; never noticed it before.

[cecil3667]

same here

[zebrakeber1902]

For which part of the game did they make it?

[PeyserConley]

Singing Mountain was a place that was supposed to be used in the game in 65,000,000 B.C. area, but it was eventually left out of it. The song is between "Battle with Magus" and "Tyrano Castle" on the soundtrack, that gives pretty good idea of the location in the game.

[zebrakeber1902]

Ah,ok.Thanks :-)

[RoadToTheDawn]

its used in the ds version on one of the vortexes if i remember correctly :P

[PeyserConley]

The vortex sound is heard always in the last or first songs of each CD, but the actual song begins after 0:40.

[MetalOliver]

@PeyserConley the song before 0:40 is the soundtrack before luca's story near the end in which you can either save her mom from getting her limbs crushed by her dad's invention by typing a code on the machine. (the red time portal)

i believe that the song after 0:40 however is a song from 1 of the many alternate endings. unsure though, havent played chrono trigger in ages lol.

[Oztington007]

@PeyserConley this is the song used for the dream world when lucas has to save her mother from being a crippled

[CCrockyourass]

@PeyserConley In that case, it was originally going to be for the Dactyl Nest.

[bob1986]

@PeyserConley

Actually, if I recall some interview, Singing Mountain was supposed to be a optional dungeon relating to Ayla that you could enter when all the subquests open up after getting the winged Epoch.

Which was why Ayla didn't have a personal sidequest like the other characters, Singing Mountain was supposed to be hers.

[KarlBonner1982]

@bob1986 Let's see. Frog's sidequest was the ruins north of Choras. Robo's sidequest was the Geno Dome. Magus had Ozzie's Fort. That leaves the Sun Stone quest, the Sunken Desert quest and the Rainbow Shell quest. I guess the last of these three goes to Marle, and the Sun Stone seems to be mainly Lucca's. But the Sunken Desert? Looks like another Robo sidequest, with Lucca getting a secondary role.

[dynamo50]

@bob1986 That...that makes me very sad indeed..

[brainjuice654]

@PeyserConley so bacically after the battle with magus, the party were originally supposed to be warped to an ice mountain area though instead they just skipped that part and ayla found them and brought them to the ioka village

[ultris07]

@PeyserConley you they actually used this for Death Mountain

[captainbryan]

I enjoy this music greatly.
