I love the Earthbound Papas. If you're coming off of The Black Mages, it'll take you a little time to adjust to the new feel that these songs have, but you'll find that they're just as emotionally touching.
There are two albums right right now, "Octave Theory" and "Dancing Dad." They're so close that it's hard to choose a favorite, but the Dancing Dad album has the best version of the classic FF6 final boss song "Dancing Mad." This song will blow your mind:
