The soundtrack to Final Fantasy VII is totally unlike its predecessors. Gone are the short, catchy melodies of previous Final Fantasy albums, in favor of a newer sound that, like Final Fantasy VII, is darker and more introspective. Composer Nobuo Uematsu was somewhat more challenged by this soundtrack than by any previous albums; this was Square's first Final Fantasy game for the PlayStation, which distinguished itself from other consoles by allowing far more sound channels, and even CD-based audio, for richer and more diverse soundtracks. To this day I remain disappointed that Uematsu never took fuller advantage of the PlayStation's sound capabilities throughout its lifespan. The digital instruments used in the music of Final Fantasy VII sounded rough and drab at the time of this soundtrack's release, and they certainly don't sound any better today.

On the other hand, the orchestral arrangements of these songs heard in the 'Dear Friends' concert bring to brilliant life what truly are some of Uematsu's finest works: 'Flowers Blooming in the Church' and 'Anxiety' are hauntingly beautiful, while 'JENOVA' remains one of the more complex (and exciting) pieces from any Final Fantasy album. Of course, 'One-Winged Angel' remains a fan favorite, largely because it was the first Final Fantasy song to feature a recorded vocal track.I originally purchased this album for $70 upon release and while it's not my favorite Final Fantasy album, it is perhaps the most significant of this series' soundtracks. For the price asked on the iTunes Music Store, it's well worth a purchase. A prolific and versatile composer of popular video game and anime scores, most notably for the ubiquitous Final Fantasy game series, Nobuo Uematsu was born and raised in Kochi, Japan. A self-taught piano player, he graduated from Kanagawa University and played keyboards in local bands, eventually finding work as a composer for radio commercials by sending out his music demos. He moved into the video game medium in the mid-'80s when a friend offered work at the company then known as Squaresoft (later Square Enix).

There, he composed music for dozens of games, including the first Final Fantasy installment, released in 1987. He went on to write or co-write music for the international blockbuster series through 2002's Final Fantasy XI. During that time, he released an album of original electronic keyboard music in 1994 titled Phantasmagoria, and many other game scores including 1995's Chrono Trigger (co-written with Yasunori Mitsuda). In his break from the Final Fantasy series after the 11th game, he composed a film score for 2003's Ah!

He also provided music for over a dozen video games including 2006's Blue Dragon, and television music for the 2007 anime series based on the Blue Dragon game. Uematsu composed music for the anime television series Guin Saga in 2009, and finally returned to the Final Fantasy franchise as the main composer for Final Fantasy XIV in 2010. He continued a dedicated schedule of game scoring into the 2010s, including but not limited to 2012's Fantasy Life, 2013's Hometown Story and Granblue Fantasy (both with Tsutomu Narita), and 2014's Terra Battle. ~ Marcy Donelson • ORIGIN Kochi, Japan • BORN March 21, 1959.
