It took me an ungodly amount of time to actually unlock Dracula's castle. That Albus fight is a fucking chore and I had to do it like five times!

Anyway, this is a remix of the opening theme which itself gets your heart pumping because not only is this a new Castlevania game, it's the classiest looking new Castlevania game ever! And the Castle is the climax! And the music is great! That is important because it's ridiculously hard and you'll probably need to farm it up a bit, so the music better be catchy!

Albus is a pretty taxing fight and his theme is a pretty taxing theme. I am a big fan of the first five seconds leading up to the RAWK that provides the back-drop of a catchy theme with a tricky, elusive combatant. Bonus points for instrument choice(organ!) and overall drama.

Fellows, Order of Ecclesia has a fantastic soundtrack that does not rely entirely upon Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears and Clockwork Mansion. Be a Guildenstern and play it.

The Edge of Phendrana in Prime 1 had catchy music.

This isn't really on topic perfectly for the thread but I didn't think anyone wanted a new topic just for this. I'd make a joke about Thad moving it to its own thread in a month but we all know he doesn't care about this board.

They did all the really reminiscent songs, and they're all pretty damn good. I think Lost Woods / Virginia is the best, though. You can listen to the full album here

Welcome back to Doom's Youtube Dump. I actually went back and trimmed or rewrote most of my posts in this thread. My old record was 90 days straight but I got caught up in the drama of meeting that daily quota as opposed to the drama of excellent music. Then that other thread was made, hahahahahahaha. Anyways.

Here's a single music track that holds more emotion than the entire script of Sword of Mana.

Note how in the first few seconds, the tempo is immediately raised to a fever pitch, usually synced to the approach of a giant monster! Then the music breaks it down to business, making us well aware that this is an epic of fantasy drama and combat! It loops pleasurably and considering the actual pacing of Adventure, is basically the most perfect track imaginable. It's also reserved for the INCREDIBLY EXCELLENT RPG practice of having two boss tracks, one for mini and one for epicly huge.

The air over the battlefield is thick with smoke and ash. Even the sea wind can't cut through the stench of gunpowder, blood, and charred flesh. A broken artillery piece rests with its operators, now merely scraps of meat and shattered bones fought over by a pack of starving, feral dogs. That desolate coast is full of death. Grey, awful, dusty death.

Two swordsmen find a clearing among the rubble. The battle was not theirs, but the field will suit them nonetheless. By the time one of their blades finds its sheath again, the dogs will have a new prize.

Just ignoring Robotnik for a second (if you can) is this song from Chuck D Head? I don't remember this at all.

Final Boss music, of course.

Go ahead, play that far. I dares ya.

Doom · « **Reply #374 on:** November 28, 2009, 03:04:56 PM »

It also plays during the intro scene, so. Definitely a jawsome piece.

I wish I had something clever to say about the following, but really, it's fighting game music. Brutally awesome fighting game music, but with the exception of something spectacularly atmospheric like Way of the Blade up there, it's not like there's much of a story to tell.

That said, KOF music is... how can I say... it tends not to be video-gamey, in the best possible way. I don't like to say it like that, but it does often feel like it has a real-world flavor, full of unusually relatable charm and personality.

Oh yeah, that last one has a girl reciting random French proverbs as lyrics. For some reason I find that extremely hot.

Yuko Koshiro is your god. The man made the scores to Streets of Rage and ActRaiser.

We will not be listening to those games today. No, today we listen to the man push the SNES TO THE LIMIT.

Apparently the last battle of Bowser's Inside Story is FUCKING EPIC.

You can hitch a ride to the spoiler-express in the related videos bar. It's sooo good. I shivered when the Dark Core assumed full form.
