Angry Metal Guy Having had the privilege of being at the first Distant Worlds concert in Stockholm, I've followed each of these releases religiously. While this one digs further into the series than I'm familiar with (after FFXII), the arrangements are always fantastic and I am particularly in love with the arrangement of "Searching for Friends" from FFVI and the new version of the Opera (though the Swedish Baritone from DW was better). All-in-all, this is an excellent addition to the Distant Worlds series. Favorite track: Searching for Friends (FINAL FANTASY VI).
