The Black Mages II ~The Skies Above~

The Black Mages II: The Skies Above summary

The Black Mages II incorporates less variety than its predecessor, but also does a better job of selecting the "favourites". Let's face it, no one was looking forward to a remix of Seymour's Theme, whereas Otherworld, Zeromus, Man with a Machine Gun, and Maybe I'm a Lion are far more appropriately angled considering the fandom existing for those tracks. And with one new track at the end of the album, perhaps this indicates a future variety from the Black Mages that releases it from the grip of Final Fantasy - especially now that Uematsu has left to form his own company.


Notes & Factoids

  • The Black Mages published a seperate blog titled The Blog Mages to keep track of the development associated with the final development stages and pre-release of the album. It's whacky and in Japanese.

    (Rahul Choudhury)

  • Track No. 11, "Blue Blast - Winning the Rainbow" was created for Japanese boxer Takehiro Murahama. It's his entrance music to the ring.
