My hands start twitching when I hear this game's soundtrack.

See here for the full experience.

Best VGM I've ever heard. No contest. This track is my favorite. Be sure to watch in the highest quality.



An amazing soundtrack from beginning to end. It's somewhere between music and ambiance. The entire Metroid Prime experience is simply unbelievable. That's how good it is.

I'll just leave this here:

Every time this song comes up while I'm looking at the Geoscape, I delay my next mission while I crank the volume. Every time.

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

No mention of this?
Specifically, everything from 4:00 onwards to about 6:00 ish. It was used in the SotE game.

Thanks for the Soldier Blade, never heard of that before!

Some quick picks:
Falcon 3.0 [PC]--- War room music, Weapon loadout screen
Journey to Silius [NES] --- Stage 1 (guitar remix), Stage 2 (guitar remix), Stage 3 (remix) -- come to think of it, any music from this game.
One Must Fall 2097 [PC] --- Theme -- Kenny Chow himself uploaded a reconstruction to YouTube
Warcraft 2 [PC] -- Orc theme 4 -- Almost baroqqean!
Tomb Raider Legend [PC] -- Theme, Giant Serpent -- Surprisingly good stuff in here

Aquaria has fantastic music.

And of course, the Mass Effect series has an amazing score. Here's the music for the high point of the series.

OBJECTION

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Got thinking about this after remembering that Blue Planet uses the Vergil Battle 2 theme... I always preferred the Vergil Battle 1 theme.

Seems like it would've fit the general style of the other non-original songs in the soundtrack, too... eh, maybe it'll turn out to be in Part 4 or 5. If not, I guess I could always try taking up FREDing again...

Actually, Vergil Battle 1 sounds like a remix of Those Who Fight Further from FFVII, which is also used in Blue Planet.

...You mean the version from Advent Children, used in AoA? I can see some slight similarity in rbamb.ogg, but the basic themes are completely different.

Besides, I was referring to WiH, and not even Those Who Fight Further is used there. :P
