Castlevania IV for SNES: pretty much the whole game.

My Chrysalis Highwayman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzV0-bVQUq4 - can it get any better? I don't think so! Pure epic!

The most awesomest music evah: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h954mvdXVLg

 

[DefJam101]

N-n-n-necro!!!

I didn't particularly care for Red Faction 2 but god damn if it didn't have some of the best electro in a videogame ever. Brilliantly totalitarian stuff, fit the game perfectly.

I think the music from the Deux Ex 3 trailer is pretty nice.

 

[Tenhi]

Y'all linked Deus Ex etc, so I'll do my duty and link some controversial shit:

Some sonic the hedgehoc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w4V43ST ... E&index=21

Mega Man: Snakeman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4eBNmGzI4A

Halo, Under Cover of Night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSqm5Id6Hw0


Oppose if you will.

 

[DefJam101]

I can't remember anyone ever blasting Halo for the soundtrack. It was actually quite memorable.

edit: lol steve vai http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKbDBfTC7T8

Not from a video game, but it sure is epic.

If I was making a computer game I would get Vince DiCola to do the sound track.

You know, I so wanted to respond with you fucking faggot.... but that was actually very good stuff.

Come on, that's so fucking generic. It's like taking a clue from older dark ambient (stuff like Lustmord), adding a bit of etno music and then polishing and mainstreaming it as fuck. Today's Hollywood stuff is drenched with this kind of stuff and this "approach" to music.

I have to give a bit of credit to that tiny little melody from about 1:50 til 2:12 though and to the electro segment of this track that emerges sometimes.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

I'm not a music buff at all and I don't really follow "purely instrumental" or even techno stuff, so this kind of music still comes as a surprise to me. I don't mind either that they "mainstreamed" it because I generally can't stand avantgarde-faggotry. So to me this was an interesting piece that fit in well with the game and evoked a good atmosphere.

 

[chzr]

i have to admit that for me in most games winamp > soundtrack
tiberian dawn - airstrike

even if i havent played it, i love touhou music and remixes

also

Nothing beats courtroom drama.

stuff like this ( i'd call it 'midi-like electro')

best track imo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8ga23Xdw7k
when i went through engineering the first time i was like..holy shit is is fuckin dnb!!! and it is fuckin great!

edit: fuck that wasnt the full version. changed the second youtube link
now that is better!

 

[Darth Roxor]

i have to admit that for me in most games winamp > soundtrack
tiberian dawn - airstrike

easily the best track out of all C&C soundtracks for me. It beats even Hell March.

Tiberian Dawn generally has the best soundtrack in the series, methinks.

 

[DefJam101]

Also, the same composer who made the RF2 soundtrack was responsible for Freespace 2's beauty of a soundtrack. Going out on a limb here and saying that FS2's music, particularly the in-battle music, is perhaps the best "epic" scifi music I have ever heard:

1:45 is just... insane. Amazingly creative soundtrack, deserves recognition.

One of my favorite SRPG. It was the time when developers create specific sound tracks for sub-menu.

 

[MetalCraze]

Time for some heavy stuff
(Death from Above is teh best followed by those two other tunes)
