Description:
Chrono Tied is a 2009 mashup album produced by DJ Nerd42 that puts the vocals from Fort Minor's 2005 album "The Rising Tied" over beats created by sampling the Chrono Trigger original soundtrack. (1995) After a three year development cycle, this project features over an hour of music. It has several original sample-based beats, but nine of the tracks on Chrono Tied are based on instrumentals from "The Chrono Trigger Mixtape" by Compromised. All tracks on the album were produced by DJ Nerd42 except track 20 which is a remix by Theory.

Chrono Trigger, published by Square in 1995, is the single best game ever released for the Super Nintendo (SNES) and also has one of the best, if not THE best video game soundtrack(s) of all time. Yasunori Mitsuda composed all the original Chrono Trigger tracks sampled here, except that Nobuo Uematsu composed "Underground Waterway" (can also be translated as "Sewer") and "Tyran Castle." (Which are here sampled in "Petrified in the Underground Sewer" and "Tyran in Stereo.")

Released in 2005, "The Rising Tied" is an album by the hip hop group Fort Minor, led by rapper Mike Shenoda of Linkin Park. The Fort Minor side project gave Shenoda more opportunity to create specifically hip hop music without needing to cater to the rock / nu metal side that was expected of a Linkin Park album. The Rising Tied instrumentals are truly great, and if you like this album, you should listen to the original Rising Tied instrumentals. It is worth noting that the Chrono Tied tempos do not all match the tempos heard on The Rising Tied. "Right Now Time Circuits" is particularly up-tempo compared to the original track. This was done purposefully.

From the artist's page:

Chrono Tied is mashup mixtape produced by DJ Nerd42 that puts the vocals from Fort Minor's 2005 album "The Rising Tied" over beats created by sampling the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. It has some original beats but also several copied from the Chrono Trigger Mixtape instrumentals. After a three year development cycle, this project features over an hour of music.

The album cover was created in InkScape by DJ Nerd42 with special thanks to Theory from the LPProjekt.com forum for the artwork idea. It used [the Chrono Trigger vector logo by Luminaire (as mentioned here) and of course (for the benefit of blind people) it combines the Rising Tied album cover with the Chrono Trigger SNES box art.

It is worth noting that the tempos do not all match the tempos heard on The Rising Tied. "Right Now Time Circuits" is particularly up-tempo compared to the original track.
