  - Track information -

  1.01. The Rabbit Hole

    Source: The Legend

    Arranger(s): Dr. Manhattan

    Performer(s): Dr. Manhattan

    Nate''s Notes: Manhattan was one of the first people to finish his song. I think
  it might even be the first song I ever got for the whole album. Originally the release
  date before this became insane... was LAST August. he nailed it.

  1.02. Give Time Its Proper Love

    Source: Leave Time for Love

    Arranger(s): Ailsean

    Performer(s): Bruce Bonebrake II (drums)

    Nate''s Notes: Ailsean, conversely, was one of the last people [to submit a track].
  I actually did message him when we started, but he was busy at the time. After things
  got extended, he jumped back on, knocked this out in no time, then got his friend
  Bruce to provide kick ass drums.

  1.03. Like a Boss

    Source: Danger

    Arranger(s): norg

    Performer(s): norg

    Nate''s Notes: This was a song I pretty much demanded norg do. If he passed on
  it, I have no idea who else I would have found. This song was MADE for him. Though
  apparently Mega Beardo wants to try it sometime!

  1.04. Atop a Dragon White

    Source: Prophecy

    Arranger(s): Omigadrive

    Performance credits:

      Jen Rose and the Jentlemen:

        Omigadrive (lead guitar)

        Barry Edward Bellomy (bass)

        Dustin Garcia (guitar)

        Robert Cammack (drums)

        Jen Rose (keys)

    Additional personnel: ROCKTendo (mixing)

    Nate''s Notes: Omigadrive''s first track, despite the title. Glenn arranged it
  and had his live band perform it, but they eventually broke up. Such an interesting
  take on this song. Grab your dance partner!

  1.05. Monarch on the Shore

    Source: Monarch on the Shore

    Arranger(s): Amanda Lepre

    Performer(s): finbeard (drums), Mateo John Marshall (keys)

    Nate''s Notes: Amanda''s first track as well. This went through a lot of stages.
  But she got Big Mat on it and Chuck simpson for marching drums, which pulled it
  all together.

  1.06. Stainless Steel and Snare

    Source: Steel and Snare

    Arranger(s): Travis Morgan & Adam Henry

    Performer(s): Travis Morgan (bass, guitar), Adam Henry (drums)

    Nate''s Notes: Travis'' first track! This was actually the only one I expected
  him to take (joke''s on me, he took like 12 others). But with nothing but drum and
  bass it was easy to point him and Adam towards it. Adam is a beast, travis is a
  Beats. And hey, now they even play together in VikingGuitar Live!

  1.07. Star of Darkness

    Source: The Dark Star

    Arranger(s): Amanda Lepre & Jameson Sutton

    Performance credits:

      Descendants of Erdrick:

        Amanda Lepre (lead guitar)

        Jim Watson (drums, SFX)

        Brad Macchioni (rhythm guitar)

        Jay Davis (bass, bass pedals, synthesizer)

      Ben Triech (double bass)

      Jameson Sutton (keys, mixing)

      Aron Goodrum (assistant engineer, trumpet)

      Izzy de Leon (violin)

      Ruben Balboa (viola)

      Josh Weber (cello)

      Rudy Castro (french horn)

      Moises Castro (trombone)

    Additional personnel: Jason Gallardo (players booking)

    Nate''s Notes: This track was too complex for it''s own good. It features a full
  live rock band and then a dozen or so hired musicians Jameson got to record live
  at his school''s studio. Jameson told me this track had something like 70 layers
  to it. Ambitious? Just a bit.

  1.08. The Great Sprite Hope

    Source: One of Them Is Hope

    Arranger(s): Mega Beardo

    Performer(s): Mega Beardo (guitars, drums), Travis Morgan (bass)

    Nate''s Notes: Thanks go out to Erik for recruiting Mega Beardo onto this album.
  Because otherwise, this would not exist. Ryan is incredibly good, and FAST. He knocked
  this out in no time, then got Travis to do bass. It felt effortless compared to
  everything else on this project.

  1.09. Wrath of the Beast

    Source: Morning Is Here

    Arranger(s): The Warring Triad

    Performance credits:

      The Warring Triad:

        Josh Edginton (bass, guitar)

        Nick Doane (percussion)

        Dave Reardon (keys)

        Joe Corbett (keys, mixing)

    Nate''s Notes: This is actually 3 of the Squares [The World is Square]. They tried
  their hand at some metal. It''s a ridiculously intense 2 minutes.

  1.10. Arid Sands

    Source: Secret of the Arid Sands

    Arranger(s): Amanda Lepre

    Performer(s): Amanda Lepre

    Nate''s Notes: Amanda made this track after almost a year from the previous ones
  she had done, and improved her production quality to the point that it forced her
  to go back and revise the previous ones. This track is pure atmosphere. Close your
  eyes and feel the sand.

  1.11 Pandora''s Box

    Source: Ceremony

    Arranger(s): Bill Rahko

    Performance credits:

      Death Itself:

        Adam Henry (drums, bass, guitar, synthesizer)

        Bill Rahko (guitar, bass, svedka bottle, programming)

        Travis Morgan (guitar, programming)

        Wyatt Banks (didgeridoo)

    Nate''s Notes: One of the weirdest yet most perfect tracks on the album. Bill
  (rocktendo) wanted to do pure spooky ambience, and travis provided some bass. But
  then they got Adam Henry on board who brought the doom metal. Can I just say the
  music books is the most perfect thing ever? Because it is.

  1.12. This Song Got Me Pregnant

    Source: The Second Truth From the Left

    Arranger(s): Kidd Cabbage

    Performer(s): Kidd Cabbage

    Nate''s Notes: Hahahahahahahahahaha... Listen. People are going to hate me for
  allowing this song to exist. But I just think it''s hilarious. It wasn''t what I
  was intending for this track, at all. But I have no regrets. Good work Jon, you
  nutcase.

  1.13. Cursed

    Source: The Curse

    Arranger(s): Travis Morgan

    Nate''s Notes: "The Curse" on the actual OST isn''t even a song! But travis insisted
  on making it into the lead up for Thanatos... so here we are. Perfection.

  1.14. The Oracle

    Source: The Oracle

    Arranger(s): Travis Morgan

    Performance credits:

      Travis Morgan (bass, guitar)

      Kevin Lawrence (drums)

      Amanda Lepre (death (grief) scream)

    Nate''s Notes: This is absolutely one of the greatest takes of this song to exist.
  He captured Thanatos and the epic battle that ensues, perfectly. And then Kevin
  Lawrence from Metroid Metal did what he does best. What more can you ask for?

  1.15. Sword From Stone

    Source: Fear of the Heavens

    Arranger(s): VikingGuitar

    Performance credits:

      VikingGuitar (guitar, bass, drums programming)

      Tim Lydon (guitar solo 1)

      Stemage (guitar solo 2)

    Nate''s Notes: Erik kept giving me versions of this, longer and longer. "7 minutes,
  not done yet". I just laughed and said "okay!" As Grant puts it: this is the shortest
  longest song. When it''s over you''ll wonder how it was actually 11 minutes. Oh
  yeah and THOSE SOLOS, MAN!

  2.01. 歴史は繰り返す (In the Dead of Night)

    Source: In the Dead of Night

    Arranger(s): Travis Morgan

    Performance credits:

      Mercurial (keys)

      Josh Czoski (violin)

      Sarah Lecompte-Bergeron (percussion)

      Phil Mius (cello)

      Vivianne Ducharme (choir)

      Cheryl Norfair (choir)

      Nick Doane (djembe)

    Additional personnel: Kana Baker Gurvitz (translation)

    Nate''s Notes: When Travis chose this I was both surprised and not. It''s very
  bass-y, so that makes sense. But what else is there? Plenty, when you give it to
  him, apparently. He recruited a ton of amazing musicians to make this happen, and
  said of all the tracks, this one turned out exactly how he pictured it.

  2.02. Seed

    Source: Whisper and Mantra

    Arranger(s): Bill Rahko & Julia Seeholzer

    Performance credits:

      Mana Philharmonic:

        Vanessa Young (harp)

        Amanda Lepre (vocals)

        Julia Seeholzer (vocals)

        Bill Rahko (vocals, programming)

        Travis Morgan (vocals)

        Josh Czoski (violin)

        Lauren Liebowitz (flute)

        Sidney Hopson (percussion)

        Dan Ryan (percussion)

    Nate''s Notes: Rocktendo is all over this album, but you wouldn''t know because
  his tracks have these fake band names like "Mana Philharmonic" and "Death Itself"
  etc. Why? because he put TONS of people on his songs. 12 people worked on this to
  make it be the most angelic thing ever.

  2.03. Teal and Silent

    Source: Eternal Recurrence

    Arranger(s): Mercurial

    Performer(s): Mercurial

    Nate''s Notes: After working on Harmony of a Hunter and discovering Mercury Adept
  (Now "Mercurial"), I knew I had to have him for Mana. And he delivered in spades.
  Try not to cry listening to this.

  2.04. Tale of the Curious Stranger

    Source: A Curious Tale

    Arranger(s): Jameson Sutton

    Performance credits:

      The Second Story:

        Jen Rose (guitar)

        Kaylei Bristol (flute)

        Justin Olejnik (drums)

        Kenny Reichelderfer (accordion, bass)

        Jameson Sutton (keyboard)

      Nick Doane (castanets)

    Additional personnel: Stemage (mixing)

    Nate''s Notes: This is the debut track from band: The Second Story! The members
  have since changed a bit, but they should be some to watch for! love the overall
  feel of this track.

  2.05. Together Always

    Source: Together Always

    Arranger(s): William Reyes

    Performer(s): William Reyes

    Nate''s Notes: Will from the One Ups. How the hell did I get him? Erik suggested
  I hit up Tim from the One Ups (Also a WTF moment), and Will wanted to jump on too.
  He never showed me a WIP, just delivered a final. He said "Don''t worry, I don''t
  like to disappoint" when asking about WIPs. Nope. You sure didn''t, Will.

  2.06. A Storm Is Coming

    Source: Distant Thunder

    Arranger(s): Alexander Brandon

    Performer(s): Lauren Liebowitz (flute)

    Nate''s Notes: Alexander Brandon is maybe the biggest WTF moment. Jameson is interning
  for him, and I casually suggested he tell Alex about the album just, you know, to
  see what he thinks. Turns out he LOVES Secret of Mana, and even claimed to have
  a video of him playing it with a friend from like 20 years ago. Having him on board
  was enough of a dream. His track is a surreal experience and unsurprisingly is incredible.

  2.07. Fond Memories

    Source: Fond Memories

    Arranger(s): Cory Johnson

    Nate''s Notes: I found Cory because of his incredible Zelda album. I was listening
  to it and just going "I HAVE to ask this guy on Mana..." With great nervousness
  you get from trying to contact a rock star, I sent him a message. He was Down. Whoa!
  Then he wanted 2 tracks, sweet. But then as the project went on he took more and
  more. This was one of those. It''s bliss.

  2.08. Echoes of the Exiled

    Source: I Won''t Forget

    Arranger(s): John Weible

    Performance credits:

      WARK:

        Chunkstyle (bass, drum engineering)

        Kevin Lawrence (drums)

        Jeff Ball (violin)

        Amanda Lepre (acoustic guitar)

    Additional personnel: John Weible (mixing)

    Nate''s Notes: WARK is: John Weible, Chunkstyle, Kevin Lawrence, Jeff Ball, Amanda
  Lepre. Why did he call it WARK? Because he''s a silly guy. That John Weible. This
  went through probably 10 different changes. Even including something like DeadMou5.
  Seriously.

  2.09. Voyage

    Source: Did You See the Ocean?

    Arranger(s): Julia Seeholzer

    Performer(s): Julia Seeholzer

    Nate''s Notes: Julia tells me she wants to make this song (which originally is
  more like a NIN remix of into the thick of it) into a Piano ballad. I''m like...
  Okay? I don''t see how but, okay. And yup! She did it!

  2.10. The Summer Sky Is Blue

    Source: The Color of the Summer Sky

    Arranger(s): Super Guitar Bros.

    Performer(s): Super Guitar Bros.

    Nate''s Notes: Super Guitar Bros are the perfect people for this song. There isn''t
  much more you can say than that!

  2.11. Forest Lesson

    Source: What the Forest Taught Me

    Arranger(s): Tim Yarbrough

    Performer(s): Tim Yarbrough

    Nate''s Notes: So here is Tim from the One Ups. It''s still surreal I got him
  on this album, and all I had to do is ask. Isn''t it something when people you treat
  like VGM legends, are just normal people who LOVE game music? His version of the
  upperlands is spot on.

  2.12. Spirit of the Night

    Source: Spirit of the Night

    Arranger(s): Cory Johnson

    Performer(s): Cory Johnson, Josh Czoski (violin)

    Nate''s Notes: Another Cory track, another track dropped by someone else and recovered
  by him! He pulled on Josh Czoski to add sweet sweet violins so you bawl.

  2.13. Aurora Borealis

    Source: A Wish

    Arranger(s): VikingGuitar

    Performer(s): VikingGuitar, Lauren Liebowitz (flute)

    Nate''s Notes: When people think of "VikingGuitar", they don''t think of this,
  but Erik isn''t ALL about metal, despite what he says ;) Pulling Lauren Liebowitz
  on for flute just elevates this to a stand out performance from everyone. Close
  your eyes and drift into snow.

  2.14. Village of Silent Roses

    Source: Phantom and a Rose

    Arranger(s): Super Guitar Bros.

    Performer(s): Super Guitar Bros.

    Nate''s Notes: Another perfect one for the bros. They put a unique spin on it
  halfway in. Spoilers.

  2.15. Farewell to Jinx

    Source: Now Flightless Wings

    Arranger(s): Jen Rose

    Performer(s): Jen Rose

    Nate''s Notes: Jen has a very special attachment to this game, and this song is
  kind of like saying goodbye, so it''s an emotional piece for her. Great job, Jen!

  2.16. Beginning of the End

    Source: A Conclusion

    Arranger(s): John Weible, Ryan Davies

    Performance credits:

      John Weible (keys, percussion)

      Ryan Davies (guitar, mixing)

      Stemage (vocals)

      James Moats (vocals)

    Nate''s Notes: A complicated song! At some point John got the idea to pull in
  James Moats from yes Mayhem, which was a a neat bonus. Then Grant jumped in too!
  And Ryan Davis... all the way in the UK, did all the electric jams.

  2.17 Solum

    Source: Still of the Night

    Arranger(s): Omigadrive

    Performance credits:

        Cory Johnson (intro, bass, clean guitar, mixing)

        Mercurial (piano)

        Stemage (rhythm guitar, guitar solo)

    Nate''s Notes: I didn''t name this band, just so everyone knows. The Culprits
  are: Omigadrive, Stemage, Cory Johnson and Mercurial. This track was originally
  dropped, and these guys picked it up and finished it from SCRATCH in like 2-3 days.
  What the hell.

  2.18. Holy Intruder

    Source: Mystic Invasion

    Arranger(s): Stemage, Travis Morgan

    Performance credits:

      Stemage (guitars, drum programming)

      Amanda Lepre (acoustic guitar)

      Travis Morgan (percussion, keys, synths)

      Josh Czoski (violin)

      Lauren Liebowitz (flute)

    Nate''s Notes: Stemage is the best, Travis is the best, Amanda is the best, Josh
  Czoski is the best, and Lauren is best. So what do you get with all that? the bets,
  obviously.

  2.19. No Trace Ever Found

    Source: I Closed My Eyes

    Arranger(s): Nick Doane

    Additional personnel: Stemage (mixing)

    Nate''s Notes: This is how you close out the Peace disc. There is no other way.

  3.01. NOW IS THE TIME FOR NOMENCLATURE

    Source: Menu Music

    Arranger(s): Stemage, Chris Dlugosz

    Performer(s): Stemage (guitars, drums), Chris Dlugosz (keys)

    Nate''s Notes: I jokingly pitched this not-a-song to grant and he of course went
  for it. And then he got Chris from Armcannon to add extra silliness. Grant calls
  this track Musical Masterbation, but you know, we can''t print that.

  3.02. Steampunk Funk

    Source: A Curious Happening

    Arranger(s): Dr. Manhattan

    Performer(s): Dr. Manhattan

    Nate''s Notes: Manhattan''s second track is just as incredible as the first. Keep
  in mind this guy has NOT played the game! It must be a testament to Kikuta to capture
  the visual feel where this song is first heard. That or Manhattan is all knowing.
  Oh, so it''s not just a nickname.........

  3.03. Assault on the Witch''s Castle

    Source: Into the Thick of It

    Arranger(s): Jameson Sutton

    Performance credits:

      Jameson Sutton (piano, mixing)

      Moises Castro (trombone)

      Aron Goodrum (trumpet on Dark Star, assistant engineer)

      Ben Triech (double bass)

    Additional personnel: Jason Gallardo (player booking assistance)

    Nate''s Notes: This track is a journey from the forets to the castle, to a boss
  fight to out again. A journey with 12 people on it! Almost entirely performed live.
  Listen carefully to the wind chimes, Mana fans.

  3.04. You Gotta Fight For Your Sprite to Party

    Source: The Little Sprite

    Arranger(s): The World Is Square

    Performance credits:

      The World Is Square:

        Nick Doane (keyboard, percussion, glockenspiel)

        Josh Edginton (guitar, bass, percussion, synth)

        Lauren Michelle Christerson (guitar, ukulele, mandolin, bass)

        Dave Reardon (bass, synth, percussion, glockenspiel)

        Joe Corbett (keyboard, bass, percussion)

      Lauren Liebowitz (flute)

    Nate''s Notes: How can you make a Squaresoft album without the Squares? you can''t.
  And then they recruited Lauren because why WOULDN''T you? Their intro is genius.

  3.05. Girl, You Got a Nice Beard

    Source: It Happened Late One Evening

    Arranger(s): Careless Gorodetsky

    Performance credits:

      Careless Gorodetsky (accordion)

      Mike Treanor (sitar, drunken vocals)

      Nick Doane (drink percussion, drunken vocals)

    Additional personnel: Audience at Random Encounter live show (singing along)

    Nate''s Notes: The dwarf song was the hardest one to assign, but then I met careless
  and he said it was his favorite song in the game. It was fate. He even recruited
  a live audience form an RE show to chant on this in addition to drunken Travis and
  even live Sitar from Mike Treanor! Are you ready for a party yet?

  3.06. Hear the Whispers of Gaia

    Source: Distant Thunder

    Arranger(s): housethegrate

    Performer(s): housethegrate

    Additional personnel: Chris Dlugosz (keyboard sound font replacement)

    Nate''s Notes: House was a #1 for this album because I knew he loved the game.
  If you love House, you won''t be disappointed.

  3.07. On the Wings of Dragons

    Source: Flight Into the Unknown

    Arranger(s): Lobos, Travis Morgan

    Performer(s): Lobos

    Additional personnel: Stemage (mixing)

    Nate''s Notes: Lobos is a fan of the game, so he was an easy pick! He hit a snag
  trying to arrange, and Travis (because he''s on everything) gave him a hand with
  ideas. It was just what he needed, and examplified the "multiplayer" part of why
  this album works.

  3.08. A Bell Is Tolling

    Source: A Bell Is Tolling

    Arranger(s): Cory Johnson

    Performer(s): Cory Johnson

    Nate''s Notes: This and the track following it, were the two Cory originally chose.
  He knocked these out so well and so early that he had time to help with damn near
  everything else! These are pure Cory Johnson.

  3.14. Epilogue

    Source: Mana Medley

    Arranger(s): Derris-Kharlan

    Nate''s Notes: Whats that? one more? SURPRISE. Derris Kharlan did this for payment
  of me doing his business cards. Art for Music! I like that transaction. He made
  this song long that it changed what songs actually made it on this disc. But It''s
  not like I was going to tell him to restrict himself! You let that dude go wild.
  95% of the people on this album didn''t even know this exists. It''s my present
  to you guys. Thanks for making it to the end. <3
