  TERRANIGMA

  What can I say about this game?

  When I was about 15, I would frequent an independent computer game shop in my nearest
  city, a short train journey away. It always had all the great new games set up for
  customers to play at the counter and allowed folks to request-test anything that
  was on the shelves. Their range was incredible for such a humble hole-in-the-wall
  retailer, and included titles that were surely unheard of by most folks. Terranigma
  was one of these games. I actually walked past it on 3 occasions before taking a
  punt on it. Pre-owned at less than a year old, and I''d heard nothing of it. But
  I was feverishly into JRPGs and thought "Hey, what the hell?" I''d got lucky before,
  and the shop had an excellent returns policy.

  I''m so very glad I did. What waited was a uniquely quirky story, with a plot centred
  on the myriad shades of grey between dark and light. It sported three-dimensional
  characters and excellent gameplay with some unexpected difficulty spikes to keep
  me on my toes, and was one of the pioneers of choice-based progress. The graphics
  were incredible for the technology and the JP-EN translation was... well, let''s
  say charming...

  Roll on to today and I still rank it among my favourite games. Even with the progress
  we''ve made in the past 25 years, it holds a corner reserved for the magical. It''s
  a sadness that it didn''t get more coverage. My beginning of Paths Less Travelled
  was an effort to bring the game more into the forefront and pay some small tribute
  to it, and Quintet, the game''s ultimately and mysteriously doomed developer.

  I started this project with hope and vigour and it quickly gained traction. With
  HoboKa as my second, we made good tracks, but unfortunately, as dedicated as he
  was, life prevented him from continuing. Trism quickly and humbly took up the yoke
  and we powered on for a good while, churning out progress like there was no tomorrow.
  Then, suddenly, life happened to me too and the project halted. With every intent
  on coming back to it, it sat there gathering dust while life continued to happen.

  A couple of years rolled by before, out of the blue, Trism approached me, offering,
  again humbly to take on the mantle of project director to get it over the finishing
  line. After all, we''d done so well and we were so close. I agreed, of course, and
  relegated myself to art director and shouter-from-the-shadows. Jorito quickly came
  on board as co-director, and suddenly the machine was moving again! With Trism''s
  enthusiasm and Jorito''s experience (and admittedly very little help from me), the
  album has turned out to be better than I could have ever hoped.

  So here we are! I encourage you to sit back, enjoy your beverage of choice, and
  experience the work that is Paths Less Travelled: Terranigma. Every single contributor
  to the album has reflected stellar work on every track, and it proves to be a truly
  eclectic triple-album that pays homage to what I consider to be one of the very
  best unsung computer games of all time.

  Huge shout-outs to every musician and contributor, to Trism, HoboKa and Jorito,
  and, of course, Chimpazilla for her patience and mastering most every track on the
  album.

  - David Owen (Odai)

  I have to admit I never played Terranigma until near the end of the album production
  process, so I wasn''t fully sure what all the hype and all the love was about. That
  didn''t stop me from claiming my first 2 tracks ("Mountains" and "Crysta") in the
  first run of the project, and two more during the album restart. When checking out
  the OST, I noticed quickly that this was not your typical RPG music fare, but rather
  something interesting and different. After finally playing the game, the tracks,
  and their context, make a lot of sense, because they are all very well chosen and
  perfectly crafted for the occasion. The game is definitely worth a play, as one
  of the great SNES RPGs; if you haven''t done so, do check it out.

  While I was only active as a contributing artist in the first run, I was a bit sad
  to see the album project come to a halt. I was already playing with the idea to
  maybe pick up the pieces and try to help the project towards completion, but sadly
  I never found the time due to prior commitments and real life distractions. When
  Odai finally handed over the reins to Trism to give it another go, my schedule cleared
  up enough to offer to help out. I am glad I did. Terranigma is a great game that
  deserves all the love people give it, and the album project is a great way to pay
  tribute to it. Massive thanks to Odai for starting the project and the beautiful
  artwork, Trism for being a great co-director, and Chimpazilla for her mastering
  services as well as helping out on a few tracks. Hope you enjoy listening to the
  album as much as we enjoyed creating it!

  - Jorrith Schaap (Jorito)

  Well. This has been quite the experience. Three years and one hiatus in the making
  and it''s finally here. I''ve never been involved with something this, well... involved
  before. It would be entirely accurate to state I had no idea what I was getting
  into when I offered to become assistant director to Odai when the project was in
  its infancy, and I CERTAINLY had no idea what I was getting into when I offered
  to resurrect the project later on. It isn''t hyperbole to say that this project
  would either be significantly less substantial or straight-up wouldn''t exist without
  Jorito stepping in. His experience has been essential to the completion of the album
  (not to mention his contacts within the remixer community) and I would be remiss
  if I didn''t also give a huge shout-out to Chimpazilla for offering her mastering
  services during both "eras" of the project. And also, I need to thank Nadzilla from
  the very bottom of my heart for engineering Manji''s "Destiny''s Spire" on very
  short notice and doing a fantastic job of it!

  As for the game itself; like Jorito, I had also not played the game when I offered
  my services on the album. I picked the "Royd" source due to its cool hook, but it
  did plant the seeds of interest when I looked up the Royd character and started
  reading into the story of the game itself. It sounded utterly bonkers! I had to
  play this thing! And play I did, and while life didn''t allow me to play it to completion
  (though I have seen the game finished by some wonderful LPers on YouTube), I have
  to say it was an amazing experience, there really isn''t another game quite like
  it.

  So. Here it is, for better or worse. I really hope you, the listener, enjoy this
  smorgasbord of different genres and interpretations of some truly amazing source
  music. Now; what to choose for Paths Less Travelled vol. 2...

  - Troy Plain (Trism)

  I was invited onto the Terranigma project originally to provide sound support and
  mastering, which I was honored to accept. A few of the tracks required mixing help,
  and two of them ("Her Resolve" and "Royd Rage") I ended up collaborating on too,
  writing a bit of my own material for the tracks in addition to mixing and mastering.
  I was sad when the project went on hold, but I was thrilled when the project was
  taken up again by Jorito and Trism. Jorito collaborated on several of the tracks
  himself, including adding more excellent work to both "Her Resolve" and "Royd Rage."
  Even throughout the hectic final push to finish the album, Jorito was wonderful
  to work with. I have never played Terranigma, but I was astounded at the amount
  of love for the game that I felt as I interacted with every single track. I hope
  the listeners enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it, and I hope they
  feel the love that went into its production.
