Recently I heard a new fan project by the fine folks over at OverClocked Remix. it's a 4 disk set of music inspired by (read: covers of music from) Final Fantasy VI. If you've got any nostalgia for the game, any love for the series, if you're a fan of Uemastu or if you even like good music in general, you really owe it to yourself to check it out.
Now, of course, I've got a 30 minute show here, so you're not going to hear the entire album. What I've done instead is try to give you a pretty good sample of what to expect. Naturally, there's much much more on the actual product, including work from many more artists reflecting quite a few different styles of music. You can grab it for free from their site, and again, I highly recommend it.

I was rocking out to that in the car last night driving home from work actually. Someone really loves their Queen. The entire Opera set works so well together. The first track sounds like someone who loves them some Phantom of the Opera, and the last one is just. WOW.
I really like A Fistfull of Nickles. That whistle and similar sound to the Wild Arms games sold me on it right away.
