Nothing unexpected. The original Final Fantasy soundtracks (from I through to IX) are records that I return to again and again, and it's a shame that FFVII's soundtrack is going to be updated for the upcoming remake. I prefer Uematsu's music when it's unorchestrated.
There's a Kate Bush song called 'All We Ever Look For' where the underlying arrangement, from what I presume is a synthesizer, sounds as if it would fit into the established FF worlds very comfortably, especially IX's. One for a future "Music that sounds as if it could be in a Final Fantasy game" thread, which is actually more promising than it seems.
