Chrono Cross music in Bullet Proof Monk?!

Is this true? Can anyone confirm this?

Why doesn't it say on his resume...?

I bet the contributor erroneously attributes a stock sample to Mitsuda. That electronic loop is likely part of some sample library, like the one he used in Xenosaga.

Not quite sure what a "stock sample" is..

But I'm getting that Mitsuda got the first ten seconds of Chronopolis from the same source as the composer did?

You've got the right idea.

It's a generic term for an audio sample or loop that is included with a professional (or in some cases completely free) sound library which collects such samples and loops for use by consumers in commercial products (without having to pay a license fee). The most common "musical" stock samples you'll come across are electronic loops like the Chronopolis one or the one in the Opening of Xenosaga (which also shows up in Front Mission 4); and drum/rhythm loops, which are quite prevalent in soundtracks for film and television.

In the contemporary industry, it is not considered bad practice to use such samples as they are available to anyone and produced specifically for the purpose of being used in any audio material regardless of license. Mitsuda uses these kinds of samples all the time--most especially vocal samples. I can't think of many of his scores that don't incorporate some kind of voice sampling. He's usually really fantastic about mixing them into something original instead of leaving them so bare as with the loops in Chronopolis and the XS opening. There are probably others amongst his work that I haven't caught yet.

The composer of the Bulletproof Monk soundtrack, Eric Serra, is notorious for electronic experimentation and implementation in his scores. I've never heard the music outside of the movie, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit to hear electronic loops employed.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

Does anyone know where these samples are from originally then??
