7) Ocean ThemeĪh yes, one of the more beautiful ambient themes. The drums and flute are what really give a feel of independance as they represent the friendly pirates who seem to do fine without requiring aid from the town up north. 6) Pirate ThemeĪnother faithful arrangement, this theme was played in the pirate town in Antiqua. The percussion and flute really give off a feel of mystery and are quite enjoyable. Yes!!! This arrangement is faithful to the original. It's an ambient track that has wind blowing. I can't relate it to an original track, but it sure shows off Soule's amazing talent for orchestral music. It mostly has piano keys and a bit of saxophone mixed in together. I'll go out on a limb here and say that these are arrangements of Ivor Tower and Ebon Keeps castle themes. It makes me think of a piano concert, as it continuously changes. It starts off slowly, but it quickly gains speed in tempo and pace. However, I really can't relate this piece to any of the original songs. It starts off with a few piano keys, then it explodes with trumpets, percussions, and such. This track has heavy orchestral influences. This is the first of eight arranged tracks.
Track-by-Track Reviews 1) 10 Print "Hello World" Fortunately, those open-minded enough to tackle the game and beat it discovered how important the music was in this game. Soule, only 20 at the time, was about to make himself known worldwide, for good or bad. Instead, they hired a gifted young American composer by the name of Jeremy Soule. Secret of Evermore was also the only game by Square to not be composed by anyone from Square's Japanese team. They wanted to insert a bit of realism and I didn't see anything wrong with that concept. While most areas were devoid of melodious themes, they still had some ambience usually represented by real-life sounds. The game really didn't deserve such a reputation, as it had a few innovations never seen in the genre beforehand. Unfortunately, it was subsequently ignored and forgotten. Many discredited it as a Secret of Mana rip-off, Square's worst ever, etc. Having the 'Secret of' title prefix, many were thinking this would be the sequel to the highly appreciated Secret of Mana, but, to the surprise of everybody, it turned out to be a completely different game. In 1995, Square USA started to work on their own RPG, known as Secret of Evermore. Secret of Evermore Complete Soundtrack :: Review by Z-Freak
