		<description><![CDATA[Odds are you’ve never heard of the guy. Odds are even if you’re addicted to role-playing games such as Final Fantasy – you’ve still never heard of him. Truth is, I hadn’t known who he was for many years even after I fell in love with his music. It was the summer of 1998 and [...]]]></description>
