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:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxU2UjAjN24
Poke Center is a nice hook too:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjZIjHu0OfY&feature=player_embedded
though IMO they sound better on Gameboy hardware and speakers
...damn, I can feel the nostalgia kicking in

I never played any of the Pokemon games. Maybe I should download an emulator.

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.

The music in this game sounded like something produced by Trevor Horn. I'd forgotten about it until just now.

There's no way near enough Rob Hubbard on this thread.
His metallic percussion sounds are genius and he always had a way with textures but with a hummable tune:

― Nhex, Saturday, 13 November 2010 18:59 (thirteen years ago) link
The original tune is nice and pleasant (as well as, at least for myself, distinctly Japanese) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4yextE9SLo&feature=related
Now this song plays during "train-travelling" sequences in which you dictate the path of your train and defend against baddies and such. What's genius though is that the CHUGGA-CHUGGA-CHUGGA is kept nice and LOUD and it dawned on me that these two noises didn't conflict, but compliment eachother... the train benefits as the percussion, which is is why I'll forever keep stock in Nintendo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YyJb2Olrc8^peruse through that if you're trying to figure out what the hell I'm trying to say.
― Good news, everyone! (kelpolaris), Monday, 29 November 2010 01:26 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah! like it shouldn't really work - especially when you first get in the train, and you notice how overloud the sound effects seem, but it totally comes together
― Nhex, Monday, 29 November 2010 04:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Come to think of it, Japanese are just dope in general in the music department.... the songs are always memorable, usually cheesy, but never groan-inducing. As of late the only American videogames I've been playing have been war games, which seem to think sweeping orchestral symphonies appropriate no matter the war.

I really like the music off the Mass Effect series. Imagine if Vangelis and Steve Moore had a baby. For some reason I always think that "Fever Dream" was part of this video game soundtrack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBISfv-6hfoFirst time I heard this I fell madly in love with it. All the music in SMB2 is beautiful. Funny thing is the first time I ever played the game it was at my friend's house and he had the sound turned down so he could listen to The Beach Boys, so it was also the first time I ever heard them! Quite a landmark day that was...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DLoSAb1-bcAgain, fell madly in love with this. Monkey 1 and 2 I had both before we had a sound card, so we got the PC speaker sound, which you can hear above is fucking incredible! So glad someone saved this for the internet. They've re-done this music in many ways, but this is still my favorite version. Epic glitch pirate music, far better than most adventure movie soundtracks. This is up there with Star Wars for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg__USr9YNM&feature=relatedThis is my favorite MI theme. I think this is the original midi version I heard back when I was a kid. We ran out to get a hint book and ended up buying a Soundblaster card. I still think about recording a cover of this using my theremin!
― Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 26 February 2011 21:43 (thirteen years ago) link
OTM with Mass Effect. The understated atmosphere it helps create, especially that piece, is so unexpected but so perfect for that type of game (space epic).
― Young, Sunday, 27 February 2011 01:48 (thirteen years ago) link
That MI2 rendition of the main theme is my favorite of the series. Never heard the PC speaker version before, though, that's crazy! Still gonna go with the awesome General MIDI version tho.

Emulator. It's definitely a time-passer — there were several moments where I had no idea how to go on and just stopped playing in frustration.
