It came out a few days ago, but man I am in love with Half Minute Hero: The Second Coming's soundtrack. It's got a great selection of game composers, such as Motoi Sakuraba (of Tales, Star Ocean, etc. fame), Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts, Mario RPGs, Street Fighter 2), Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger) and more! I can't find much of the game's soundtrack on youtube, but at the very least I've found two of my favorite songs: Winged my step - Motoi Sakuraba Cheap treasures - Hideki Asanaka Winged my step in particular sounds like a lot of Sakuraba's other work, but drat this stuff sounds way more inspired than his recent stuff in Tales games.

I've always been a big fan of Yuzo Koshiro's music and one lesser known gem is his soundtrack for Misty Blue, an old late 80s/early 90s visual novel type game. I barely know anything about the game, but I've always liked the soundtrack and it's 80s dance club feel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foFbN-KokGE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFXiAh7cGnY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k39wRSiVTI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJLf1ZxC1SQ

PREPARE FOR SUPREME NECROMANCY VIA THE BIGGEST POST IN THE THREAD OTHER THAN ONES WITH EMBEDDED VIDEOS, SORRY (somebody has to bump this thread soon, after all) This thread has shown me an amazing assortment of music I enjoy that I had never heard before, given that I basically only ever owned console systems if someone gave me one, and I was almost exclusively a computer-gamer my entire life... but that also means a lot of my favorites have not even come close to being posted yet! (Also nobody is going to fix it I am sure, but at least a few posts per page have nothing but links to YouTube videos that have been taken down) In CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER of course. My only regret is that I do not have exactly one song for each year  Seven Cities of Gold - Title. This is a Spanish madrigal song called "La Bomba" by Mateo Flecha, which had just been recorded a year earlier by the King's Singers--likely where Roy Glover heard it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmkwC92rTxI Ballblazer - Title. Pretty much hands-down the best computer game music of the 1980s. I WILL FIGHT YOU ON THIS POINT. Well it definitely ranks amongst the best things ever produced with primitive sound equipment anyway. As repetitive and insane as it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7V7B57Kbqk Panther - The Game's Only Song. Yeah I am sure people will hear this and be like OH GOD THE PAIN but if you give it a bit I think even people who hate POKEY music will be at least mildly intrigued. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeHDlZkQiRY Tintin on the Moon - Title. I told Jeroen Tel how much I loved this song and he told me he wrote it in about an hour after getting home from high school. Hmm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz6KO0gnrS8 Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II - Title. Kind of cheating since it is just the Romeo & Juliet theme, but it is SO GOOD for what it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbIJM1xAjNY Ultima VII - "Music Box" / "Wisps." Illustrating that sometimes the most memorable songs are the minimalist ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY_FunMoXqo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmkzQDLMQ4g World Heroes 2 - "Erik the Viking Stage." Sometimes I played characters in games based almost solely on their level music. Well in this case I also like vikings but it was at least 50% music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jfuw4GdvZI SkyRoads - Road 1 Music. Mmmmmmmmmmm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASWF-EASOLI Donkey Kong Country - "Fear Factory." Originally found when searching Napster for Fear Factory songs. Yoshi Jjang posted this one in 2012 but I want to call attention to it again particularly as he claimed to be working on a UK Hardcore cover of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Sjr4e9YGo Command & Conquer - "Industrial." I played this game like two or three times ever, as I have never much cared for real-time anything, but dude. This song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCaJXJJa1tA Iron & Blood - "Stellerex's Theme." If you only listen to one of these links, make it this one. The absolute best thing to come out of this, one of the worst fighting games ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdluA8SIO4M Fallout - "City of the Dead." Surely the least song-like song on this list, but dude. That distant engine/horn sound ... still gives me shivers 17 years later. WOOO WASTELAND 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7zfrSJUEbY Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: "Lost Painting"::::: Dude seriously this song is so good it was all I could do to actually leave the part of the inverted castle where this played ... ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlBcCSbOwek EverQuest - "Kerra Isle." Not Kerra Isle like the zone, but Kerra Isle like the thing in Erud's Crossing that was also for some reason called Kerra Isle. This song was so good that I would park my character there while cleaning my room just to hear it because I am a sad man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMuC30JVu60 Um Jammer Lammy - "Fright Flight." I mostly burned out on HARD GUITAR RRRARRR! video game music ages ago, but this track is still basically delightful. Though actually playing the game definitely adds a lot to it, since the level (like all levels) makes no sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8FHp_NtphU Might & Magic VII - No Clue What This Song Is. This song is basically the definition of "slow build," but the payoff always gets me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jED5AmJFG98 Deus Ex - "NYC Bar." As far as I can tell, I am the only person who thinks this is the best Deus Ex track, but it is just so good. It makes me happy no matter how many times I hear it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfsYfEA9OMs Might & Magic VIII - "Garrote Gorge/Ironsand Deserts/Ravage Roaming." Mmmmm. I do not remember if this song only played once you could fly or whether I just associate it strongly with being able to fly in the game, but either way, oh yeah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGGp3mvffyg Bust a Groove 2 - Tsutomu's Theme/"Got to Be Happy." Special dedication to CaptainRat, who has always hated this incredibly fun dance song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hWE5NHEGvM Anarchy Online - The song that plays near the newbie apartments and others? I am not even ashamed to say the first minute or so of this compilation track may legitimately be my favorite jazz composition ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skY_CS19Fdw Wizardry 8 - "Arnika." Apparently there have to be soothing overtones for me to love chamber music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGUUqrtVinc Half-Life 2 - "CP Violation." This is not a game that normally even comes to mind when thinking about classic music, but fortunately I ran into this in a "related songs" link and remembered how much it set the mood for the opening of the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8l81NX9X6w Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines - Theme. Also basically Massive Attack's "Angel" but totally works anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znc1m36BYng King's Bounty: The Legend (and all the other sequels after it) - "Glory Ride." These games have so many amazing songs, but this post is long enough as it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT5rCzyBLc0 OK just this one too because it is so inspirational, "Sacred Campaign" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo-cnqjVWIM Rochard - Title/"Space Debris." Totally cheating since this is a remake of the musician's early-1990s Demoscene track "Space Debris" but drat if I do not love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR7ODA2cLWY Secret World - "Siren's Song." This song may hold the record for me putting off making storyline progress in a game for the longest time just so I could continue listening to the song. If it were not so easy to find on YouTube I might still be in the middle of this quest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hi3Fi_cKho#t=156 State of Decay - "Hope Prevails." Hey look, Jesper Kyd! FauxGateau helped me discover that he wrote game music in a post from 2012--I only knew him from the Amiga Demoscene! Unless there are multiple musicians named Jesper Kyd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKFceNZ0uzQ South Park: The Stick of Truth - "Blame Canada" 8-Bit Reprise. Perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBY09gdiIK8 Jazzpunk - Intro. This song pretty much sets the stage for why this is one of the best games around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lBiCn9Kk4U#t=33 Tagichatn posted:I can't believe that it's 4 pages and no one posted [obscure game I played when I was at an age where I was emotionally vulnerable] yet!  ALso Jonjonaug I know you are banned but your precious MUSHIHIMESAMA FUTARI STAGE 5 music is partly lifted directly from the 1980s game the Last Ninja, hope this helps

I'm just gonna post all of my favorites from the Super Smash Bros series, now that 4's been out for a little while. I like Smash a whole lot and the remixes are always really good  Super Smash Bros. - I love the cheap MIDI instrumentation in this game, it's great. Smash 64 was such a loving ugly game but it had fantastic sound effects and it just worked out in the end, like a lot of games on the beloved shitbox Nintendo 64. Yoshi's Island Dreamland Melee Menu 2 - I like that they remixed this for Brawl and added it again in Smash 4 because it's pretty much the best menu music ever. It was a really long time before I heard this tune in Melee and when I did I was like  (I was a stupid kid.)Princess Peach's Castle Temple - Probably my favorite stage in any Smash game. I mean I am fully aware that it's a garbage stage but I love the music and it's just a fun stage to play on. Brinstar Brinstar Depths\ Poke Floats - Runner-up for best stage in Melee. Mother Brawl Battlefield ver. 2 Underground (Super Mario Land) Castle/Boss Fortress Ocarina of Time Medley Meta Knight's Revenge Stickerbrush Symphony - MVP best remix in Brawl (two things were good about Brawl: the music, and Lucas) Sector 1 Smash 4 Fortress Boss Remix Full Steam Ahead Yoshi's Woolly World Remix King Dedede's Theme ver. 2 Battle! Team Flare Minor Circuit Remix Duck Hunt Medley - I love the Zapper "splash!" sound at about 5 seconds in. Duck Hunt's a really fun stage and one of my favorites in Smash 4. Light Plane Remix Wii Sports Series Medley Pac-Man's Park - Block Town Master Core RyokoTK has a new favorite as of 22:24 on Dec 14, 2014 |

Fhistleb posted:Shadow Hearts: Covenant The Shadow Hearts games have such incredibly strong and eclectic soundtracks. They're really dark games as far as JRPGs go, and the soundtracks are fittingly oppressive and tense. The remixes of battle themes that play when you lose your sanity, like the one you linked, are really brilliant. In fact, the random encounter themes are super good in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxe0UdE34x8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbguAc42-ik My favorite track from the series is probably The Fate from SH2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXjaKhGLkXw That violin solo at 2:50, god drat son. It reminds me a lot of Time's Scar from Chrono Cross, and not surprisingly I think it's one of the tracks from SH2 that Mitsuda was involved with. Mitsuda OSTs have been a lot of what I've listened to lately, along with the soundtracks from the Drakengard and NieR games. The Drakengard 1 OST is a bunch of dissonant chopped-up samples of various classical pieces that fits the tone of the game perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXu_S7-SOYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1pGIX6C9Ag D2 has a more conventional but still gorgeous orchestral OST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPaZpdD5T3g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK-fLU5OSxo D3 goes full  with electric guitar and crazy vocal effects, like midway through this track:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llGOobmaNrY It also has gamelan on the final boss track. Gamelan is always a good thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW69pA4XZ0g And Nier's OST is just  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gilH6f2hHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myEB5z6hAaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUn-kezLzeY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZzMyxDgdQ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x0-EYfwP-c

Music from various Donkey Kong Country games has already been linked -- with good reason, as particularly DKC 1 & 2 had some absolutely fantastic tracks thanks to David Wise. Good news is that he returned as composer for the recent Donkey Kong Country - Tropical Freeze so not only did we get some nice remixes of music from previous games, but also a bunch of new, fantastic tracks (plus the game's good, too!). Have some samples: DKC Tropical Freeze - Funky Waters (Amiss Abyss) https://youtube.com/watch?v=WA2WjP6sgrc DKC Tropical Freeze - Current Capers ~ Aquatic Ambiance (remix from earlier game) https://youtube.com/watch?v=9blO1zCCy8M And ending with my absolute favorite: DKC Tropical Freeze - Seashore War https://youtube.com/watch?v=Boqy0Q-4c_M Rise, thread, rise!

Vlambeer and their resident composer Kozilek owns owns owns. Also see: Luftrausers. The stage music reflects the components you use in your plane ("rauser") so it always sounds a bit different depending on your particular setup. According to the composer, there are a total of 125 permutations to be heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnAKPTa8K2E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL8-e0B6fcE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isFAarVxQfg

Metal Gear Solid 3 CQC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKSkJpODOuc Paired with the awesome title screen, this was the first sign you were in for a great game.

Aquaria has that thing I like, where they keep progressing a base song into a more complex one.
