I've always liked the Myst music

Andreas Waldetoft seems to get props for the insane amounts of music he's been writing for Paradox' strategy games in recent years:

I always wondered if that was real or not. Is it?

 

[Kyriakos]

Yes, it is by Haydn i believe, judging from the sayings in that youtube page

Suicide Mission and Baba Yetu are good. Vigil makes me want to fall asleep. I like the other Ilos music much better, even if it is repetitive as all hell.

Some from Ace Combat 5:

Sorry to burst your soft bubble, but Baba Yetu is not as great as they claim it to be.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Sorry to burst your soft bubble, but music taste is subjective

Vigil makes me want to fall asleep. I like the other Ilos music much better, even if it is repetitive as all hell.

I can easily fall asleep to Vigil, but it doesn't necessarily want to make me fall asleep.

 

[Dachs]

Yeah, I just get drowsy if it's the only thing playing.

 

[shadowplay]

I liked the music in Steet Fighter II.

Time to shake things up a bit! I'll start with some awesome tracks from a game not generally known in the West, the side-scrolling shooter series Touhou:

FFX had some nice music, glad to see it

A supplementary Mass Effect 2 soundtrack was recently released, ostensibly focusing on combat tracks. There are some gems:

Music from the Long Walk in the Collector Base, a fan favorite which was frequently extracted before the soundtrack came out:

Music from Haestrom, when you're gathering explosive charges to blow apart the fallen pillar. Essentially stands in for "combat music during Tali's recruitment and loyalty missions", which was one of the best parts about that already superlative segment of the game.

Nice to see Frank Klepacki and Megaman X already covered.

My additions:

Ace Combat 4 - Second video game to inspire me to buy the soundtrack, after the C&C series

Forgot about this track, probably because the game wasn't too memorable for me:
