Prepare to 'chillax' with Square Enix's Cafe SQ
Fans of Square Enix’s SQ album series are probably already enjoying the retro-flavored SQ Chips which was released last month, but the next installment in the line of remix albums is already near completion. Cafe SQ follows in the footsteps of Chill SQ, which was, as the name suggests, a chillout album. It was one of my favorite albums in the series, but it was admittedly too short with just seven tracks totaling around 35 minutes of music. Cafe SQ aims to remedy that with 15 new arrangements, and if the recently unveiled track listing is any indication, this should be one of the best SQ albums to date.
VGMdb has the entire track list translated, and it will be treating fans to “Delightful Spekkio” from Chrono Trigger, “Matoya’s Cave” from the original Final Fantasy, and one of my favorite Uematsu compositions, “Troian Beaty” from Final Fantasy IV among many others. There’s a lot of Final Fantasy represented as usual, but other games including Xenogears and Dewprism appear as well. Hit up the official Cafe SQ website for streaming samples of several tracks and get ready for the album’s November 23 release date. It’s reasonably priced at only 2,100 Yen.
Oh, and yes, the cover art is by Black Butler artist Yana Toboso in case you were wondering.
Have you been following the SQ series, and do you have a favorite album from the catalog? Did you happen to tune in to the streaming SQ concert last week on Ustream?
