Probably one of the greatest video game songs of all time. I don't think its possible to get tired of hearing this. Sounds wonderful, thanks Sam!

So, the gamelan is actually a set or ensemble of different instruments used in traditional Javanese music. However, the pingy instrument we hear at the beginning (an throughout the track) is most likely a bonang, which is a cradled kettle gong, used in the gamelan. It has quite a distinctive sound, and I'm surprised how different it sounds when comparing the compressed and uncompressed samples side-by-side. It seems that the high-range frequencies were almost totally cut off, giving it a muddier, bassier quality. Uncompressed, it's a much brighter sound.

The KORG M1 patch name is Gamelan, but it features no other instruments in the patch iirc, so that definitely causes confusion lol

@@witapepsi Oh, I know how that is! I spent way too many hours in Encarta back in the day, so that's how I know a bonang is part of a gamelan, so when I see these synthesizers with an instrument called "gamelan", I just want to facepalm!

Listening to a few different gamelan instruments, I think it might actually be a kenong? Hard to tell though because kenongs are mostly just bigger bonangs, but kenongs are the most "iconic" gamelan instrument, so it would make sense that that's what's featured in the Korg M1 if it's just titled "gamelan". But that's just based off a few brief comparisons I made, as well as deductive reasoning.

Had the pleasure of watching you create this with Matthew's feedback. Thank you for creating incredible remasters of these cultural treasures.

Is there a recording of this being created somewhere?

Clearest rendition on the internet. You did the best!

A magnificent song for one of the best games of all time, in my opinion.

You can tell it's right at first blush, there's no way these are not the exact samples. Incredible. Imagine tracking down something when all you have to work with is only the echo of noises that sounded almost 30 years ago.

Now what can I do with all these sudden goosebumps?

Retain heat with marginally greater efficiency?

This part of the game was such a memorable and magical experience. And, of course, the thing that topped it all off was the incredible music.

Jesus fucking christ, the first sitar chord made me break down in tears. Incredible.

Oh shit the mad man did it

A restoration as magical as the Kingdom of Zeal itself!

Rarely does a piece of music put tears in my eyes. This had me crying. Great Cover. 15/10.

Wow this is really an amazing mix and instantly brought me back to my childhood. Thank you as always Sam!

The mix is so clean. Incredible stuff

Beatiful!! This is the best remaster of this music in entire youtube! Congrats Sam Miller

I've been waiting for this one! Fantastic job, Sam!

The greatest story ever told! I've literally forgot (not just "couldn't", but literally "forgot") to sleep!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much for your hard work.

You're welcome!

And of course another great job by Sam Miller

this is one of my favorite songs ever thank you one again sam miller for being awesome

Never played this game, but it's delightful music.

To the two people that disliked, Lavos would like to know your location.

The Legendary RPG! I'm looking foward to the other songs! 💪🔥

So mystical and jamming! Love this!

I never considered that the samples were from 90's workstation keyboards - really neat! Great job!

there's at least some music that reminds me of this in "granstream saga"

this is a masterpiece

This. Yes.

This is great

Sublime gracias por la restauración

Firstly, thank you for recreating this timeless treasure. Second, there's a crossroads of the youtube internet hole where folks all around the world and write down save points of how their life has gone up until that point, all united by a rather long youtube loop of this track. Now that you've conquered this, could you consider making a similar-ly long loop of this wonderful track remake? I know this is forward, and rude of someone you don't know, but it'd be terrific to see your channel host one of these crossroads where all hearts meet, and to by extension get to experience all the talent displayed on your channel.

You, sir, makes magic >v>

thanks

Magnificent!

What a great sound

待ってました、素晴らしい（ = Marvelous）！ぜひ、クロノシリーズ、お願いします（= Chrono series please）！

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

There's just something *timeless* about this theme. One of the best in an entire generation. "Let me know in the comments if you have any more stellar examples of Indian culture in gaming." Definitely check out the Indivisible OST, they have a playlist with some of it on KZread. Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana) worked on it. kzread.info/head/PLfNfGfrxIwgIpTYVbKongwhZ-BI7Uw65p

Korg M1 hits

Sounds like Tokyo Drift in the beginning...

I bought Final Fantasy Chronicles recently (which comes with Chrono Trigger) and a component cable for my ps2. It's a great game, but if only the music from the game sounded as crystal-clear as this.

the choir doesnt sound right at all

Love it!! Thanks for this. 🫶🏽🫶🏽👌🏽👌🏽🫶🏽🕒

YES FINALLY!!!! Thank you sam.
