TheLastBaron Posted July 31, 2012 People who are into video game soundtracks should check out Top Score podcast. It's part of Minnesota Public Radio and hosted by Emily Reese who also hosts classical music stuff I think. Each episode she has a composer of a game that's come out come on to talk and there's been a huge assortment. Darren Korb (Bastion) was on one of the most recent episodes, and Austin Wintory (Journey and Fl0w) was on a recent one too. Ron Fish, who did Arkham City/Arkham Assylum was on it one time, so was Bear McCreary who did Dark Void (as well as the Battlestar Galactica and The Walking Dead, but those aren't games) and Bill Elm who did the music for Red Dead Redemption which I thought was amazing. All the episodes have been great, even ones where she's talked to a person who composed a score for a game I didn't play. One of my favorite podcasts, I'd recommend everyone check it out. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/programs/top-score/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xeneth Posted July 31, 2012 There's a Humble Music Bundle available until August 1st! http://www.humblebundle.com/ Re: the Spyro music by Copeland: That stuff is SO WEIRD and fanciful, perfect for Spyro but the guy has applied that treatment to some other things with odd results... I saw a movie once long ago that was scored by him, and basically sounded just like Spyro, but it was TOTALLY WRONG for what was happening on-screen. I'm seriously talking like some future death sport that resembled rollerball or derby! Having played Spyro before seeing whatever film that was... trippy and hilarious. [edit] I think I found it? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158409/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malice Song Posted July 31, 2012 Silent Hill, Castlevania and Bastion are excellent picks imo. These two basically nail the "memorable" part for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoSG3m4FHgQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sno Posted July 31, 2012 I still have a big soft spot for Ridge Racer, even in light of Namco's lazy, effortless treatment of the series. Part of it is that literally nobody else is making this style of arcade racer, and the other part is the incredible, eclectic, and totally chill ost's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wViDc3Q6nMk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8RFhL4w1ZU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sno Posted August 1, 2012 Sno's avatar reminded me how epic and amazing Jeremy Soule's soundtrack for Total Annihilation is... Hell yeah!

Colourful Stuff Posted August 2, 2012 But I might as well point out again how awesome Tomáš Dvořák and his Machinarium soundtrack are The Machinarium soundtrack was my lady-wooing music in the first year of Uni. If you think about it, isn't love the greatest point and click adventure game of all? (No, Fate of Atlantis is.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colourful Stuff Posted August 2, 2012 The Rollcage soundtrack is strangely significant to me. It was my first exposure to music that wasn't my parent's. I felt an odd ownership towards the music and aesthetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolzig Posted August 5, 2012 I really fucking love video games and the video game soundtracks. So many unforgettable classics in this thread. The shame is not enough people in the world know that all this exists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sno Posted August 5, 2012 Two from Half-Life. (Some songs from this soundtrack have been frequently repurposed in later games.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oWGKZNVDfY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSePRs7M2sE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
