Favourite computer games music

[GoodSarmatian]

Deus Ex is the first game that comes to mind when thinking about good game music.
Also the Command&Conquer series, especially the Red Alert games.

Each faction in SMP had their own music: British Grenadiers would play anytime you visted a British port.

There were different versions of each song. After sacking a British town, the music would change from majestic tune to a sad violin version.

I especially like Final Fantasy music but the 3rd video of music from Kingdom Hearts is really terrific.

Neotokyo has a great soundtrack. Too bad the mod itself is horrible

I'm very fond/familiar with Starcraft music, probably terran themes>zerg>protoss (there's one protoss I like a little more).

Also every time I open one of these threads I end up feeling like Data - like 5 different songs playing at once...but a lot of you guys have good taste. Also I agree Klepacki's stuff is good, only really ever played a little Command and Conquer though, not the other games.

Lastly the civ series I respect of course for good classical choices - but an extra shout out to the civ modders around here who've done good jobs on their mods (FFH with Nox Arcana music in particular sets a really good mood, but we all know their whole team is great).

Here the music has been re-orchestrated by the Boston Symphonic Orchestra.

There's lots of good stuff on ocremix.org

Well, aside from all the Final Fantasy, etc, stuff already mentioned...

A Cruce Victoria, from Europa Universalis III, remains probably my personal favorite.

EU III has nothing on EU II, musicwise.
Falalalan was great.

Full Throttle, the first game I got really involved in. I must have been around 10 at the time. It came with the first CDROM drive we got (I remember the computer still had a TURBO button lol). I had to learn english while I played (it took me a LOT of time to complete it).

The music in F-Zero X was fantastic, IMO.

That's right. The game was fast as lightning and the music was necessary to get you pumped up just enough so you could hang in there. The later tracks in the game were just insane. Here's some of em:

.. and I love A Cruce Victoria just as much as I love EU III. The intro music gets you into the right mood straight away:

Skies of Arcadia was some of the best. Tales of SYmphonia had a few good tunes too.

The makers of Skies of Arcadia must have loved Star Fox going by the music ..

Falalalan was the mustical equivalent of the Demon Sheep ad.

Awesome, but for all the wrong reasons, and you can't help but wonder what the hell they were smoking.
