The Spirits Within The Music

Legion (Former Staff) — July 3rd, 2001 — 2:00 AM

The Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within movie won't be hitting theatres till July 11th, but Final Fantasy fans won't need to wait any longer for the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, as it will hit retail shelves later today. The soundtrack features an epic, classically orchestrated score by Elliot Goldenthal (sorry, no Uematsu goodness this time around), whose previous credits include Interview with a Vampire, Batman Forever, Alien 3, and Sphere.

As an added bonus, the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within OST features the two vocal tracks from the movie. The first vocal song is The Dream Within, performed by the inexplicably popular Lara Fabian (can you all say Celine Dion clone? I knew that you could!), while the second is a real treat for jrock fans. L'Arc~en~Ciel performs the ending theme, Spirit Dreams Inside, and while not the best L'Arc~en~Ciel song I've heard, Hyde belts out the English lyrics surprisingly well. For an early taste of the Laruku goodness, head on over to the real audio page and listen to Spirit Dreams Inside.

After getting a taste of the OST, and before running out to grab a copy of your very own, take a peek at the rest of the track list:

The Spirit Within
Race To Old New York
The Phantom Plains
Code Red
The Kiss
Entrada
Toccata And Dreamscapes
Music For Dialogues
Winged Serpent
Zeus Cannon
Flight To The Wasteland
A Child Recalled
The Eighth Spirit
Dead Rain
Blue Light
Adagio And Transfiguration
The Dream Within
Spirit Dreams Inside

Not sure if the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within OST is worth buying on its own? How's this for an extra treat: the soundtrack features an exclusive preview of the upcoming PS2 game Final Fantasy X. It was recently announced at a Tokyo PS2 Party by Shinji Hashimoto, Square's Corporate Director, that Final Fantasy X is complete and ready for launch in Japan, but even so, the preview on the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within OST should help tide over all you rabid fans out there.

In related L'Arc~en~Ciel news, the release of their new single, Spirit Dreams Inside, is set for Autumn and will feature a Japanese version of the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within ending theme, Spirit Dreams Inside -Another Dream-.

As a final note, please bear with us as we try to find a workable advertising solution to help support the site. The pop-under ad is an experiment and won't likely last for too long. We'd like to thank our host, WebServePro, for being so helpful during this transition period. Any webmasters out there looking for a quality host, be sure to check them out... hey, if you mention Anime Dream you might even get a discount!
