Game Music

[Brasel]

Over the past two years I've been a huge fan of OC Remix. If you haven't heard of it, and you are a fan of video game music, it would do you well to check it out. www.ocremix.org

What are some of your favorite OC Remixes? If not OC Remix, than original game music?

FF6 Seized with Fury: (Remix of FF6 Boss music) Full of heavy metal guitar, its my favorite.

FF3 Winds of Eternity: (Remix of FF3 Overworld Music)

FF6 Let Us Dance in the Dark Phantom Forest Trance remix of the FF6 Phantom Forest Music)

Super Castlevania 4 Prologue Painmix (Remix of Super Castlevania 4's Prologue music)

Mega Man 2 With The Quickness (Remix of Quickman's stage music) This one got me hooked on OC Remix.

As for original game soundtracks, I've been listening to the Metal Gear Solid 3 soundtrack I picked up a couple weeks ago quite often. Its really fucking good. Also I've been pretty partial to the Chrono Trigger Soundtrack since I played it years and years ago.

OK Thread over.
Wait, Yoko Shimamura.
Okay, now it's over.

I haven't been to OC remix in quite sometime, but one of the first remixes I downloaded was Virt's Contra mix when it was still up

Now he's a professional video game musician and is working on Contra 4.

For the past 5 years there's been a video game convention in Virgina called Magfest where they've have 2 nights of concerts of bands playing video game music, and I've been to the last 3.

I generally like the cover bands like the Minibosses than the more remixed and techno stuff.

I haven't bought any game music CDs in a while but I'm about due. I need to get a few of the Mega Man soundtracks and recent Castlevania soundtracks.

Seized with Fury is really good. I was listening to that a week ago even.

I listen to WAY too much VG music. The soundtrack to Romancing Saga is a good one. You can grab the OSTs for Quake I & II, Half-Life and Opposing Force (all good stuff) legally from this site, which also has a ton of other great non-game music.

I am almost ALWAYS listening to Game music.

I'm listening to game music right now. I believe the one playing now is *anxious heart* ~ FF7

I grab game and anime music from wherever I can grab it, and I've made a dozen or so different playlists of them.

heck, when I went on vacation, I stuffed as many music files as I could onto my DS flash card. I had a bout 29 of them with me, I believe, 90% of them being from games.

my favourite song is *What I'm Made of* ~ Sonic Heroes final boss theme.

It's just about the only thing I found good about heroes.

I listen to a lot of game music , myself.

Dance of Illusions from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I like the Dawn of Sorrow version even better.

Anxious Heart from FF7.(not just to agree with Aegix, I like that one a lot too)

Courage and Pride from the Heart in Sword of Mana.

I could go on and on.

[Dechipher]

Donkey Kong Country 2, anything from there is good.

[Cloral]

Seized with Fury is definitely a good one. I think perhaps my favorite one right now is Burning Up. As I write this post, I am listening to Twoson Hits The Road.

Others I like (this is not a complete list by any means):
Bionic Commando: Advance with Caution
Mario Paint: Intense Color
Contra: Snowfield
FF6: Shadows Among the Ruins
FF7: 12th Commandment
CT: Black Wind Rising
LttP: Clash at the Mountains
SF2: Ken Song
OoT: Falling Back
SoR: Drop & Roll
FF4: The Sky Was Never a Limit


I think my favorite mixer right now is Zircon. housethegrate (the mixer of Seized with Fury) is also good.
