File:Final Fantasy IX - Memoria Extended HD

Description
Game: Final Fantasy IX

Opinion: Creepy yet relaxing or haunting yet melodic? Memoria comes at the end of a game best described as light hearted, feel good and far removed from the clinically depressed outlook of VII or the personality deficient characters wandering aimlessly the lands of VIII. My first time through I remember thinking "wait wat? Where did this plot come from?". Of course, there IS a plot in FFIX but it's certainly more subtle, in Memoria the Gooch turns it up full blast and revels in the wonder and amazement of the sensory overload of glorious (for the time) graphics and art, articulate and thought provoking dialogue and serious tension all set to the splendid backdrop of the genius of Nobuo Uematsu titled the very same.

This track, like most of the soundtrack, is a wonder. Deep rich bass blends into gloriously smooth mids sending shivers down the spine to the constant chimes and bells. I don't think Memoria (the location) would be half as effective without Memoria (the song). Not just so, but this track makes fantastic study fodder. So here you go, over 25 minutes of Memoria looped at 320kbps or so, for those of us who find the 15 minute offerings on Youtube just aren't long enough.
