Yes, that's the one. It's actually my favorite part of the original soundtrack version.

I found it to be a bit disappointing. There were some great tracks in there like Neo Exdeath, Distant Worlds and Premonition, but it just didn't feel as good as the other two albums for some reason. I'd been really hoping for Neo Exdeath, Premonition and Assault of the Silver Dragons but, I just wasn't all that impressed. I can't quite put my finger on why though.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
My copy is still on backorder. Curse whoever it you curse when such a thing happens.
So I listened to it. Not heard it yet? Don't worry! You can replicate the experience by following these simple instructions!
1) Read the track list
2) Find mp3s of Silver Dragons, Distant World, the FF6 opera and FF3 Last Battle from this album
3) Find mp3s of the rest of the original tunes from their OSTs
4) Ascertain what key each song is in
5) Tune your guitar down to the necessary key
6) Put the original tune on and staccato the same note over and over in time with it
7) When the tune does its own staccato sequence, strum power chords instead
8) Once you're bored of this, insert a guitar solo that just doesn't fit and is basically random
9) Feel disappointed with yourself and then suddenly realise that no matter what form they come in, a Black Mage will always, always bring disappointment one way or another, no matter how useful they seem at first, proving once again that "Black Mage" means "cruel prank played on rookie FF players". Oh well, at least I'll always have Those Who Fight Further and Advent: One Winged Angel.
I hated this album. I hated it so much. I hated it the same reason I hate Dancing Mad on the first album: sounding like a MIDI lifted from VGMusic.com with a few random chords. (Liking four tracks out of ten is not good)

Meh I'll just download it then.
Edit: Look I don't think it's too bad. I certainly was expecting a lot, but some of the songs there were decent enough -- like The Extreme, Grand Cross, Distant Worlds, Opening Bombing Missions (though I prefer it orchestrated).
Ah well, hopefully it's just a sign that Nobuo should focus on better and bigger projects.

"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I actually wasn't that impressed by it either. There wasn't really anything that stood out for me. Piffle.
They could have done much much much much much much MUCH better on Cloud of Darkness. I had been waiting for them to cover that ALL ALONG, too!
IT HAS THE EXTREME.
It's epic.
The whole thing is fricken' epic!
EPIC!11!!!!1!
But I still like the original of every song, much better =]
I love the Opera song but for the fact that the female singer sounds more like an effeminate male rather than a female. But im not too into opera so maybe thats what its meant to be like and im just ignorant. It might not have been as bad if it werent for her annoyingly wide vibrato. I think it would be better had they just used a non opera singer for the female vocals. The male vocals were pretty cool though, as is the rest of the song
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Why is it not on Limewire? Curses!

Love the rock medley in Darkness and Starlight, seriously the Black Mages at its best (besides Clash of the Big Bridge)
and then there were The Extreme, Bombing Mission and Neo Exdeath
Other tracks are quite good, but not good enough
