Where To Buy: The physical CD is sold out but a digital release should be (or soon will be) available on iTunes, Amazon, and Bandcamp. Unfortunately the digital version only has 10 tracks.

This is perhaps the most ecclectic Chrono Trigger remix album to date. The Bad Dudes is made of of many different musicians from diverse musical backgrounds and most if not all the members worked on each track independently, resulting in an album with a wide range of styles. Although the tracks are faithful to the original Chrono Trigger arrangements, there are alot of improvised soloing sections to give it a "jamming" feel.

This project began in January 2005 as an attempt to arrange the entire Chrono Trigger Soundtrack into live piano sessions. Unfortunately the project hard drive crashed and the project was never fully realized, so Dylan Wiest (AKA Wiesty) released the tracks that managed to be saved for free.

These are fan-made remixes of the music from SNES classic Chrono Trigger that were made as Dōjinshi (self published Japanese works, in this case: rare) for Comiket 72 (Comiket is the world's largest comic book fair, held in Tokyo twice a year.). Dōjinshi are almost never reprinted/remade so if you manage to find a physical copy...chances are you may pay up to ten times the original price for Resolution Trigger. These remixes take the music into the present by ditching the 8-bit sounds of the original soundtrack. Although Resolution Trigger takes Chrono Trigger's music in a bold direction sonically, the arrangements are still faithful to the originals they're based on.
