This is not the Secret of Mana Original Soundtrack CD, May 8, 2003
This review is from: Seiken Densetsu V.2: Secret of (Audio CD)
This is not the Secret of Mana Original soundtrack from the game, aka in Japan: Seiken Densetsu 2 OSV. This CD, the one listed above, is also known as secret of mana plus and is a orchestral mixture that contains some of the themes and original music from the game plus other sounds. You will not find the individual tracks as suggested above by the previous viewer and if you are looking for the game music, you will likely be disappointed. Seek other anime stores for that music cd.

Dynamic score for an equally dynamic game, August 10, 2001
This review is from: Seiken Densetsu V.2: Secret of (Audio CD)
Unless I am mistaken, this should be the listing for the Seiken Densetsu 2 (or, Secret of Mana) game soundtrack. That being said, rest assured that this is one excellent soundtrack. Composer Hiroki Kikuta wrote a tremendous score for this game, supposedly in only a few weeks. The opening title, "Fear of the Heavens," remains one of the most heart-rending passages ever heard in a video game, and makes for a wonderful opening theme. Kikuta's music ranges from appropriately lighthearted to dark to frantic in the blink of an eye, making it an extremely dynamic soundtrack that should cater to any sort of mood.
Highlights include the aforementioned "Fear of the Heavens," "The Color of the Summer Sky," "The Oracle," "Meridian Dance," and the wonderful closing "I closed my eyes." Great soundtrack all around.
