almost unknown strategy games

 

ORB (Off-world Resource Base) - shit name for a game, fairly decent space strategy shit though. genuinely awesome ambient music

 

 

The Outforce - another random space strategy, with music in the same vein as C&C but much better done and with more of a mysterious twang

Ah, some of the most beautiful, most underrated pieces of music ever written can be found on video games. I have a big list of tracks I would like to make cover versions of some day, when I have more music skillz.

 

Here, they're all good:

 

The Eel Deal

(Crash 2)

Rainbow Road

(Super Mario Kart)

Bramble Blast

(Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)

Jungle

(Sonic 1 [8-bit])

Frozen Altars

(Spyro 3)

Weathering Heights

(Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex)

Sky Base 2

(Sonic 1 [8-bit])

Orient Express

(Crash 3)

Underground

(Robocop vs The Terminator)

Factory

(The Terminator [for the Megadrive/Genesis])

Papu Papu

(Crash 1)

Idol Springs/Fracture Hills

(Spyro 2)

Tilt Panic/Ring Ding

(Crash Bash)

 

But this one, "Bramble Blast" is easily one of the best pieces of music I have ever actually heard. It's one of the very few tracks I've ever heard that has induced real tears (no rly).

Off the top of my head, I can only think of two other tracks that have ever made me cry: Aphex Twin - [lichen] and Boards of Canada - Hiscores (the Old Tunes vol. 2 version).

the 2 above games are like burned into my brain, everything about them the aesthetics, graphics music gameplay level structure.

and i can't believe i only noticed last year that the game box covers for each one are like identical looking,

i think video games are what got me into electronic music.

 

there's a lot of small indie games these days with very refreshing soundtracks in them. Osmos has a lovely ambient soundtrack that meshes quite well with the game, and you control the flow of time in the game, changing the pitch+speed of the music with it.. simple but kind of neat

 

for the mainstream titles deus ex is probably my all time favorite.. after that in no particular order contra 3 (love the rhythms in this one), castlevania, chrono trigger, half-life 2, sonic 2, bits of final fantasy vii, mirror's edge (the ambient tracks, not the action tracks)..

some of mine,... posting more of them so i don´t have to do it again...

 

 

this one is quite fine

this one is slow at the beginning but when it goes faster, it´s beautifull

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laMvJf9UNdc

 

 

this one is sung and is beautifull as well

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D8Cz9kHYFQ

 

 

last one from Chronno Cross/ this one asks for a remix

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-ttyCzHVSc

 

 

cool effects in this one

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9xdC-eHCPs

 

 

classic Atlantis

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIB9FkKrvZU

 

 

as soon as this one came on at the end of the game I couldn´t resist it and I love it ever since

no comment

....also whole Heroes Of Might and Magic 3 soundtrack, World Of Warcraft (not the addons) soundtrack, maybe even Baldur´s Gate II soundtrack and the ambient and whole atmosphere made by Neverwinter Nights soundtrack

 

 

...I´ll not post more so there´s some place left for you as well...
