My cover of the world map suite from Dragon Quest II collectively titled "Endless World". The piece is comprised of three self contained movements, Distant Journey, Unknown World, and Endless World, each one encompassing part of your journey during the game. Alternative names for each movement are A Lonely Youth, Kingdom of Alefgard, and Travelling with Friends.
I was always impressed with how the world map music of DQII evolves as the game goes on, portraying different emotions to match the tone of the story; starting a journey alone in a dangerous land with the weight of expectation on your shoulders, exploring mysterious and unknown shores, and finally uniting with friends to conquer all of life's challenges. Pretty neat for a game from 1987.

A highly interesting mixture of jazz and traditional Japanese music performed by numerous instruments, from shakuhachi, koto, shamishen and taiko to synths and conventional drums, Muraoka's unfamiliar crossover stands as enthralling, smooth and peculiar as the day it was conceived.
