FS2 (The music is original and sets the tone, nice pacing, etc.)

TIE Fighter (Wow, John Williams wrote an *original* MIDI score for it. Now why didn't he write original music for Episode I? ;) )

Planescape Torment (Very cinematic and once again gives a good feel)

I am thinking of putting that D2 one I mentioned earlier into an ingame FS2 music as it seems to have the right kind of atmospheric effect in my opinion, but I have not quite decided whether it is worth the trouble of splitting it up and all that. :p

Forgot to mention playing Soul Asylum at 80Db over the FS2 music tracks.:D

Track 6 off the descent2 CD rocked...very atmospheric.

Particularly "surfacing" and the title theme played at the end of unreal really got me.  Those two tracks were beautiful.  Other good tracks were "industrial" off C&C 1.

YES DO IT!!! DO IT!!! *drools*

 
Destruction Derby 2 had quite appropriate music.

Railroad Tycoon 2 also had good music, some nice blues stuff.

Freespace is clever how it plays different music depending on events in the game, but it could fade them together a bit more subtly.

The dynamics in Freespace are nothing special really. Again I must mention NOLF, and most of all TIE Fighter. Now that was dynamics.

Mmmmm...I loved the FS2 music the way it was good and would change. It got really spooky and subtle at times when something was about to happen and got me wondering "What the hell is coming?"
And John Williams rules. Duel of the Fates. Nuff said. :D

FreeSpace2 Ending Score (or the FreeSpace 1 March Battle battle and victory music)

Homeworld Background music
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

My mom hates "Duel of the Fates". When I asked her why, she simply said because the music is the start of the battle where Qui-Gonn Jinn is killed. She hates to see good guys get killed.:D

LOL, I like to see the good guys die but not the bad guys; I'm tired of the good guys winning all the time. :p :D :D

that IS cool, man. I suddenly feel the urge of.... i dunno.

[edit] now it's a tie between E:BFD, NOLF and TA. Although I've never played TA.

But I'd buy that just for the music.

Man, I loved Total Anihilation! I was so shocked at how good the music was!

Anyway, I also love the music in The Dig, Tie Fighter, Freespace 1&2 and MOHAA. Most of the time I just love orchestral music!
I have returned... Again...
