can this thread be revived forever plz?
rare's in-house composers (beanland, kirkhope) were really something. here is one of the former's best. i barely even played the game that this is from and yet i find it stunning.

'Can video game music be "good"/"listenable" outside of the game?'Even though it is the identical sounds you're hearing, I feel like it's no longer video game music if the videogame isn't actually generating it.
Take this music out, and it's a bad ringtone, but in the game, it's happy pirate time!

speaking of pirates:
let's throw in another great lucasarts soundtrack for good measure:

I love the music from Cave Story (a shareware RPG/adventure game in an 8-bit style released a few years ago):

The music from Pocky and Rocky 2 for SNES was also really good.

hilarious youtube comments:
Illumina7ion2 weeks ago 37 I love you guys, im so sad... why does life change so much? I want to be a little boy again sitting in the comfort of my home with the blinds down the sun glaring in... oh the beauty... it was a dream the summer days back when we were young.. it was a dream playing this game with no care in the world thinking everything is forever it was a dream... and I am 21 and everything feels like a chore, the summer weather doesn't have the same effect .... LIFE is something, thank you donkey kong.

Wow! I'd never heard of that. Probably hard as hell to find.
Also, just wanted to post this because it is awesome.

Hirokazu Ando who did the music for this game also worked on Earthbound IIRC.

1st gen pokemon themes were great, my favourite is Bike Ride:
Poke Center is a nice hook too:
though IMO they sound better on Gameboy hardware and speakers
...damn, I can feel the nostalgia kicking in
― V79, Sunday, 15 August 2010 14:54 (2 years ago) Permalink
I never played any of the Pokemon games. Maybe I should download an emulator.

The music for Super R-Type was great:

I was disappointed when I found out Keiichi Suzuki wasn't doing the music for Mother 3, but Shogo Sakai did a good job.

I'd love to hear the music for a lagoon level on Super Mario 64, but I'm damned if I know what it's called, I just remember rushing around in knee high water.

i'm trying to find more music (game or non-game) in a similar style to the Machinarium soundtrack, this has to be my favorite game soundtrack of the past several years. it's all a bit eno-esque i guess but more lush and structured
my 2 favorites:

Not dissimilar to the new Bonobo album actually, which I've been praising on ILM this very weekend.
