Your favourite video game music

[Family Fry]

Some great music in this thread, long may it continue.
Will add some more I have not seen yet.

Promise - Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill 2 OST


Room of Angel - Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill 4 OST


Decide in the Eyes - F-Zero X Guitar Arrange


The Long Distance of Murder - F-Zero X Guitar Arrange


Outrun - Magical Sound Shower

LIVE version


Space Harrier Theme

LIVE version, hell yeah!


Polaroid - Laugh & Peace - Vib Ribbon OST


Ready Steady Go - L'arc en Ciel - Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! OST
Thought if I heard this song one more time only half way, I would break my stylus!
Love it though.


Rave On - Masafumi Takada Killer 7 OST (all of it rocks!)


Think that's me for now, so many great songs are running through my head.
Hearing a song always takes you straight back to a specific point in time, hearing a game song takes you back to playing it. Vib Ribbon for me was one of the fist rhythm games I ever played and just hearing Polaroid brings back great memories, as does the other music.

Killer 7 Rave On was superb

Vagrant Story Credits

I know it's credits music, but it's epic and not beaten by any game since. Needs a damn remake.

Bit of a spoiler this one, for those that played Vagrant Story, the music starts at about three mins in.

->Open Spoiler<-

PSO Ep1 - Can Still See The Light (La la la version)

If you played PSO you should know this off by heart



Metal Gear Portable Ops - Calling To The Night




The best remix in SF4 - Cammy's theme


The best KOF theme - Tears (Arranged version)

[huxley]

Oh mate the PSO ending theme got me.

[Riskbreaker]

Actually sent a shiver up my spine when I listened to it too

[Riskbreaker]

Thinking of PSO, I used to drive my team mates mental with this by playing it on repeat.

Burning Rangers - Angels With Burning Hearts

Very cheesy but the chorus makes me smile every time I hear it

While I'm posting, Space Channel 5 part 2 Finale:

It was ages before this got a release over here so I actually prefer the Japanese version

SC5 pt 2 - This Is My Happiness


I don't thing anything as cheesy and brillant has been released since the two Space Channel 5 games.

Some of the best video game music ever came from the C64, IMO. There is just no denying the influence of its most prominent musicians and the SID chip:

Turbo Outrun:

And the Amiga gets some love too:





And I cared nothing at all for the Spectrum back in the day, but this is VERY impressive for a machine not known at all for its audio. Tim Follin really is a chiptune genius:



Follin again: This doesn't even sound like SNES music!




And beyond...









And this track was and still is amazing:





Castlevania SOTN had too many to mention:








...adn the best for last:

[Spatial]

I played the **** out of this game on the PSOne - you've just reminded me it had some amazing music.





And seeing as someone posted F-Zero it gives me the chance to post this amazing version of Mute City



Some others











And the best thing about the Afro Samurai game

[Flabio]

Here's a few you might not have heard before...

Parasite Eve had some great music. They did an album of Yoko Shimomura's 'greatest tracks', and there wasn't a single thing from Eve on it. For shame.


Too Human. Yes, I actually played it...


The utterly overblown character select theme from Jet Force Gemini.


Communication Breakdown from Xenosaga part 2. Poor game, but a great soundtrack.


Panzer Dragoon Orta. Never did manage to finish that.

[Tig]

some recent gems here.

World of Goo has an amazing soundtrack. Far, far too good for an indie game.
The style is similar to the music on films such as Edward Scissorhands.


0:55 onwards = epic

atmosphere...

mad accordion jam!

end credits/excellent main theme.

And the bloke who did these tunes happens to be the same bloke who did all the game's art. talented git.



More indie obscurity... The extremely cute online game "Use Boxmen".
It has a soundtrack which is happiness bottled.



love the ones at 2.30 and 5.25. I wish I could find these somewhere on the internet.


and now some obvious stuff

[Riskbreaker]

Flabio, there is an excellent remix of that Panzer Dragoon Orta track on OC Remix

[GarageNation]

early 90's jungletechno from the classic streets of rage

[Ady]

Here's a few you might not have heard before...

Parasite Eve had some great music. They did an album of Yoko Shimomura's 'greatest tracks', and there wasn't a single thing from Eve on it. For shame.

Glad to find another fan of the PEs soundtrack. I was listening to the OST earlier in fact. The music was the best thing about the whole game!
