Materia Collective is excited to make available Between Earth and Sky, a beautiful re-imagining of Yasunori Mistuda’s beloved Chrono Trigger soundtrack. Performed and organized by operatically-trained soprano singer Julia Henderson and featuring several guest soloists, Between Earth and Sky breathes new life into several key themes from the game, touching on everything from sweet and ethereal ballads and sultry jazz performances to metal and more. There’s a little something for everyone across this amazing musical journey through time and space. Between Earth and Sky is now available wherever digital music is sold: Between Earth and Sky on All Storefronts The track list for Between Earth and Sky includes many surprises and some of the most popular themes from Chrono Trigger: 01. Memories of Green 02. Battle with Magus 03. Corridors of Time 04. Schala’s Theme 05. Wings that Cross Time 06. World Revolution “Chrono Trigger’s soundtrack has personally touched me more than any other, and I know there are many others with similar emotional connections to both the game and Yasunori Mitsuda’s soundtrack,” comments Julia Henderson. “My concept and the reasoning behind the album’s title, Between Earth and Sky, was to highlight the physical, emotional, and metaphysical journey that the characters undertake as they discover the truth about the end of the world, experience the end of time itself, and defeat Lavos. Most importantly, Crono’s friends throughout the game all come from different eras and lands. Thus, Crono finds a greater common purpose along with the unlikeliest of allies, including a robot, a princess, a frog, and a demon king. This theme echoed my collaborative efforts, as I involved many musicians and non-musicians who all share a love for Chrono Trigger and its music.”
