New "Tales" Album: Battle Arranges!
Just saw this on GMR, can't find any further info on it presently. But if there's on thing the "Tales" series is lacking, it's arranged music. Nothing but OSTs from Sakuraba for miles around. It's about time we get something like this.

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon Coming July 8th
The game is almost out, and mainstream critics seem to dislike it already (GameSpot 6.5/10, GameInformer 5/10). But regardless of how the game fares, we audiophiles know that the soundtrack is top notch. Here is a link to Jeriaska's review of the soundtrack at RPGFan. Hopefully Square Enix will have the sense to give this one to Americans on iTunes.
