I couldn't find this on youtube so I captured it in MAME and uploaded it. This loop is so cool and futuristic.

Oh my gosh, this evokes at once "A Rainbow in Curved Air" (the frantic percussion) and Ravi Shankar (duh) and the X-Files theme and also like Seefeel or something?!? This is INCREDIBLE!!

man, the streets of rage iii soundtrack is legitimately flat-out amazing. kawashima gets crazy gabber sounds out of the sound chip on tracks like "bulldozer" and koshiro does this super-dissonant take on techno to where the time he's doing mr. x's intro music i swear to god he's gone flat atonal.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/16/arts/review-andrew-norman-play-a-symphony-that-levels-up-cincinnati.htmlhttps://open.spotify.com/album/1D8hUu8Zp9hevipwopwlxq
“Play” turns the orchestra into a society and at its heart is a story about power. It has two plotlines, and their interaction forms the structure of the piece. One is about leadership. At the frenetic start of “Level 1,” the percussionists are in charge. Like generals, they give certain orders that they expect to be followed by the rest of the orchestra in a particular way.Some of these are obvious: A triangle “freezes” the action, forcing the players to sit still; a kick drum and a slapstick, cracking like a torture device, cut the action to a different scene. Other commands, like a woodblock sequence that switches the woodwind on and off, take time to become clear. Still more are largely inaudible, such as a swipe on the piano’s strings that powers the orchestral machine on and off.The other plotline is about discovery, and on its face, it’s a more conventional one about a musical theme. The orchestra is on a quest to complete a wedge, starting from a single note and fanning outward, stepwise, from there. Different characters try to piece parts of it together. In “Level 1,” it’s the trumpet, but its wedge contracts instead of opening. In “Level 2,” the oboe plays one half of it, the downward progression, without its corresponding upward reach. Only in “Level 3” does the orchestra get there.How Mr. Norman treats both of these plots is clever and technically impressive. What makes it so affecting is how they interact. For to complete the wedge, the orchestra has to organize, to throw off the percussion’s rule. This begins in the middle of “Level 2,” when the oboe makes progress on that downward slide, slowly, but happily, joined by the strings and other winds. The woodblock tries to assert control, “really angry,” the score says, at the disruption of the regime we hear in “Level 1.” The strings become furtive, breathing in and out, hushed and whispery, a sound full of promise. Again the percussionists try to exert command, jolting the orchestra with their slapsticks, forcing the players through different sound worlds, becoming shockingly violent. But it’s too late. At the end of “Level 2,” their power collapses.

The No Man's Sky soundtrack is to date still the best thing to come out that project, an superb bit of tech-friendly post-rock that stands with anything by Fuck Buttons et al. While the OST album is fairly conventional, the construction in game is far more varied. Dave Wolinsky: No Man’s Sky Lets Players Scramble the Core Genome of 65daysofstatic’s New Album

listening to Jun Chikuma's soundtrack for Bomberman Hero, and it's really fun -- smooth drum & bass with some spacey, sci-fi leads that give it retro-futuristic feel. Probably fans of Pizzicato 5 would like it, but what I'm loving about these game soundtracks is that since they don't have to work as club bangers necessarily, they can focus on melodic themes, and be over without the need to open up for lengthy breakdowns. Basically, bite size 90s electronica that sounds like cartoon aliens made it

'Sorcerian', an awesome action RPG from the early 90s (PC), had excellent music. So did SEGA's beat-'em-up 'Streets of Rage II'. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out, years later, that the same guy was behind both (Yuzo Koshiro).
Another 90s RPG with excellent music: 'Darklands'. Great matching of mediëval melodies with original themes.

I think this stuff by Carsten Bohn's Bandstand was originally written for German radio plays but was also used as loading music for some Atari 8-bit games.
The code would be on one channel and the music in the other would play through to the output while the game loaded. This means they were mono tracks so the stereo mix here has been reconstructed from two different game tapes and you can hear the code towards the end of the clip.
