I'm pretty stoked for the Yooka-Laylee sound track. David Wise and Grant Kirkhope are both really great at their craft. Kirkhope has a knack for making light-hearted fun tracks that are super enjoyable to listen to, especially when playing a light-hearted fun platformer. I fully expected this soundtrack to be among the best in class and from what we've heard so far, I think that'll be exactly what we get.

The Demon's Souls bosses aren't as good as those in later games (obviously) but thematically they work great, and its partly due to them all having really unique music used exclusively in their fights. I think the only bosses that share songs are Tower Knight and Penetrator.

Some more cyberpunk poo poo with NeoTokyo's soundtrack; specifically the Source mod's:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=408tWOubRDM

Neotokyo had a lot of other cool songs back when the mod was on UT2k4 and during the stages preceding the Source version's re-re-release - unfortunately the majority of them have been lost to internet entropy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J_lcMJkDEo

Similar-ish to Neotokyo, Dystopia was a great mod with a kickass soundtrack; more 5F-X or Cdatakill than Yoko Kanno, but I'm not complaining:

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

Sim Broadway from SimCity 3000 is a fantastic Gershwin-esque piece that sets the game's tone brilliantly. It may be the awkward middle child between 2000 and 4 gameplay-wise, but 3000's atmosphere and style were top notch, and the music played a great part in that.

And speaking of awkward middle children: Civilization III's modern era music. Nothing sets a more poignant tone for clearing up pollution or fighting late-game wars than Stars. Or if you want something more hardcore for those wars, there's always Smash. One of the things I miss most about Civ IV and V is the modern era music from III.

And since it wouldn't be a music list by me if it didn't have some Sonic in it, have some good music from a bad game: Solenna New City from Sonic 2006. It's a song I can't find a midi of: I've been trying to transcribe it for ages (for this thing), but just don't really have a good enough ear to finish it off.

Yeah, EO4 music is super awesome. One thing that the Etrian Odyssey games always nail is having battle music that the player never gets tired of--that's really important if you're going to be playing a combat-heavy dungeon crawler. Like the other battle music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1_7UQHIDcA

And all the boss themes are impeccable. The remix version of End of the Raging Waves (End of the Raging Winds this time) is incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw6Wc3VzNzE

And the dungeon boss music, The Burning Crimson Sword Dances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLWODOpJsfY

But it's not just the battle music. The music for the final main story dungeon, City of Radiant Ruin, takes the game's main theme and remixes it to this mournful, jazzy tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KmcSXVyzzM The trumpet theme in this is the game's main theme, which you can hear on the title screen and in the final boss music. I'm a sucker for repeated motifs.

To me, the music from Armored Core has always been excellent (except maybe in Last Raven). However, the music for AC5 is the exactly my kinda jam. I loving love the heavy use of distortion that makes the whole soundtrack sound gritty and robotic. It's like Skynet decided to make an album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txAP8Es4nz0

This one's my favorite.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yhpGBAvHl8

Some rave-like music as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkP7RpSkKCM

The sequel to AC5, Verdict Day, also had some incredible music. The music still makes heavy use of distortion, but is overall lighter in tone than 5.

This one sounds chaotic at first but really comes together after listening to it. There are lyrics, but like in every Armored Core soundtrack, they are both unintelligible and nonsensical.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhsRrlFPR_M

Also, the garage music in Verdict Day is rad as gently caress.
