I listen to Epilogue and To Far way Friends on a regular basis. Yes... slightly lame (or so my girlfriend believes...), I agree, but the orchestral music was so good in Chrono Trigger, FF IV & VI, Lufia II, Secret of Mana, et al.

On a side note, I actually made a music box which plays the music box song (Epilogue) from Chrono Trigger for my son. He loves it.

Off topic - but do you happen to have a blog post about how you made the music box?

I do not, and I wish I could make one. I started by buying one of those cheap music box kits... not realizing that the scale was simply C Major. That didn't work.

I am fortunate to work with a mechanical engineer who is also an amateur musician. So, we built our own. It was neither easy nor efficient (nor cheap if you don't know someone with all of the tools who is nice enough to donate their time), but we got it working in the end.
