Well I thought I'd make a topic for rarities that people might not have had the chance to appreciate if they hadn't played certain non-blockbuster games. We all have probably enjoyed FFVIII's music or Morrowind's theme tune, but this is for songs you'd like to share that people might not have heard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWkq2l8AMlU This tune is from Pirates of the Caribbean, the shoddily re-branded and ultimately rushed Sea Dogs 2. However, I'm a big fan of folk tunes and songs, and it's certainly one of my favourite simple folk melodies. A little producer research tells me that the composer got a pack of centuries-old Celtic style folk melodies in a sample pack and extrapolated a song out of it. I'd love to know a bit more about said song. Plenty more I like but one per post is more likely to ensure people bothering I always think. What're some of yours?
Good topic! I'm massively into video game music - my ipod has an odd array of different songs let me tell you I bought Magna Carta 2 a few months back. And the moment you start your adventure ie. the first time you roam on a large map - this song came on....and I levelled for hours! I love it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptgN3Nto ... re=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73n7HTcm ... re=related --> instant classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOVIkFti ... re=related --> chillout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUUOVls2 ... re=related --> I get nervous every time I hear this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGcyKEZt ... re=related --> definition of 'smooth'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymF76RJk6xs --> make you think. That's all ... for now.
Ace Combat has some of the best soundtracks ever. 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0bFqQtmyrs 0: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKDzOnRydWk Just a tiny snippet.
hey that's a nice Celtic music... Almost cheering and very smoothing at sea... like it was made by the composer dude behind a certain game involving heroes of might, and sometimes magic... times four... released a year before pirates of the Caribbean the video game... WAIT A MINUTE! HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX HAX :evil: Hu hum.. back on topic... A little hendrix, anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuYL-keoGvU
Good responses guys, not gone through all the multiple links yet but I'm enjoying them. Exam revision today so it's nice! EDIT: I have now. I'm a huge fan of all the Ace Attorney series music, Kijan. Most original game music for years I think. This jazz interp of the court music really gets me. Lien, hey, no need to be sarcastic! That wasn't composed by him. As I've said, I did my research on this. This is what it turned up: this topic on the tune as it appeared in Heroes IV pointed out the same tune was being used in multiple game themes, and one of the posters there contacted the man you linked to about it. He had this to say: So, yep. Smaller game music composers aren't above using melody sample packs, it seems! As a production obsessive, I frown on this...but it is such a good tune, it's acceptable just this once. Or 3 times.
For the record, the Turnabout Jazz Soul is absolutely amazing in its entirety. Also, the Witcher deserves a nod. Believe is wonderful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWrE_3viOY0 as is the Dice Poker music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dFmeQvBR1I
I've decided that this is probably the best piece of video game music I've ever heard. So many thoughts and ideas stir around in my head every time I hear it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgDL3fAE4FU - The credits theme of DW6 Empires And of course, here's a few others from the game that I enjoyed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_pT314QhxY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izdm-r0rWH0 Then there's Atlantis: The Lost Tales. This game came well before it's time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1tQms7VwvA - Main theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JBEQq_2fUM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqpmvhBL0sI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6VVFNVntjQ - finally to calm you down Now, this is one of the funniest songs I've heard. You here it in the game when you find a tribe of topless people that decide whether you die or live by racing turtles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgbfuwyYxDw
Alright, Sins of a Solar Empire. Listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs89QkgzSCY Then this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlQBrkVP7XI And then this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LOvT9CoSy8 And finally, listen to the main theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPvtC8xi-C8
Really like a lot of it yeah, but that is too electric guitary an interpretation for me - much preferred Peaceful Moments. Amazing.

Hahaha. So true. So, I'm surprised no one has mentioned Overclocked ReMixes in this topic yet: Overclocked ReMix Almost all my game music on my MP3 Player comes from there. There's something for everyone. Here's a link to one of my favourites: Time Chill
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aweZbaSHWmQ -Divine Divinty's theme music, always liked pausing that game because of this. Hell March from Command and Conquer Red Alert was always good too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-gI_pFog0.
