Chrono Cross
The music of "Radical Dreamers" was written by composer Yasunori Mitsuda, who scored "Chrono Trigger" and later "Chrono Cross". During this time, Mitsuda was listening to Russian folk music, and used this style in the music for "Radical Dreamers". He wrote the score in a very relaxed style, which he felt produced his best work at that time. Mitsuda wrote the music in around three months, and in retrospect thought it turned out well. Several themes and musical patterns were later adapted for "Chrono Cross" at Kato's suggestion; many appear unchanged except for new instrumentation. Mitsuda estimated that about half the music for "Radical Dreamers" was reused in "Chrono Cross".
