Le Stu Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Mass Effect has an awesome soundtrack. I'm listening to the sequel's right now. Not as good, recycles a lot of themes from the original. Check how dark this is (from the original):YouTube - Mass Effect Soundtrack - SarenLike John Carpenter but much much more so!Cool thread BTW, thought it was worthy of a bump.

No shit, John Carpenter's squealchy synth bass is incredible. I also hear a bit of Vangelis in there, some cool swooping pitch-bends.

Skull Commander Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I would add in the entire Super Castlevania soundtrack on the Snes. Amazing stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltz Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The NBA2k9 soundtrack is fantastic.For original game music, has to be Metal Gear Solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Interstate mutha fuckin '76.YouTube - Interstate '76 - Never Get Outta The Car (Extended Slap Mix)Aside from that, I'm an avid game soundtrack collector. Probably my favourites that I own are the first Streets of Rage and Chrono Trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Here's the main theme off of the Interstate '76 soundtrack:YouTube - Interstate '76 - Interstate '76 ThemeIt's hard to believe that Arion Salazar from Third Eye Blind and Brian Mantia who played drums with Primus are responsible for this amazing music.

Soda Jerk Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The Street Skater soundtrack on the PS1 literally got me into the new era of punk which I didn't know existed, so that's awesome.Turrican 2 is my favourite original game music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Turrican 2 is my favourite original game musicI just googled that tune... it truely is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Chris Heulsbeck composed Turrican 2 and the R-type intro, as suspected.Damn, the Amiga had such a bitchin' sound chip. 4 channels, split 2 left and right, 8-bit DMA driven digital sound up to 30Khz or something. Nuthin' could touch it back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Turrican 2 is my favourite original game musicAll the Turrican soundtracks are great - Chris Hlsbeck did the soundtrack for all of them.One CD I have been trying to find for ages is an arrangement album of the Turrican 1-3 soundtrack. I have a album with all the original C64 versions on it, but the track this is from is quite rare I think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just so many amazing video game soundtracks out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 That's a game I need to get on.You could try his website at www.huelsbeck.com - Chris Huelsbeck ProductionsAnd I feel like I'm spamming this website with links constantly, but it also makes me feel like someone who recognises the value of youtube and the timesaving I can afford the casual browser. And it's nothing compared to the stupid smilies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
