Heart of the Forest (Music from "Secret of Mana")
by The Travelers VGM
supported by 5 fans who also own “Bó Mhín na Toitean / Lord Mayo”
Wow, how beautiful this is. Total getaway music to either sit in a forest and meditate to, or if you don't have that, close the curtains and your eyes, then drift away. Amidst that, there is some laudable musicianship in each song. Not to mention the unique take on the original score by merging some well-known traditional pieces from a range of different origins. I can't stress how good this made me feel when listening to it...multiple times over.
