Any one else here a fan of video game music? I couldn't find a thread about it, so I'm calling out any other nerds who are into this stuff to share your favorite songs, OSTs, composers, and such and such. Or maybe you want to recommend some vgm you think is overlooked or is so bad it's worth a listen. It is a pretty broad area of music once you really get into it. I'd love to hear any songs you guys like, as I'm always trying to find new stuff to add to my library. Or you could just post catchy JRPG battle themes, that's always good too. I like listening to new songs I'm unfamiliar with as it has introduced me to many great games in the past.
I guess it would be proper to share excellent video game tunes in the opening post. I'll stick them in spoiler tags to keep it less cluttered.
Into the Wilderness (Wild Arms) - A really good and epic western tune with whistling in it.
!
dreamenddischarger (Umineko no naku koro ni) - This comes from a a visual novel I believe, but those get included into the whole vgm category. It's an awesome 9-minute trance/techno song that does all sorts of interesting things, ranging from beepy sounds to a catchy as heck violin to Arabic style.
!
Home Theme (Beyond Good & Evil) - Prolly my favorite video game song ever. It's a beautiful ethereal piece with lovely piano playing. Very relaxing with a touch of exotic sounds.
!
Sky Tower (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon) - It's one of those songs you just simply can't get enough of. It often gets overshadowed by the music from the main series, which is a shame.
!
Piercing the Sky (VVVVVV) - One of the songs from the second version of the game. It's pure electronic goodness, and one of the catchiest things I've ever listened to.
