I haven't read all of this thread and I don't know if it has been mentionned before but I really like this website : vgmusic.com

All of the video game music you can think of is on this website.

Enjoy!




RIP in bossa nova heaven.

And what about the music in the games MEGAMAN... The soundtracks on this game is just amazing.. IMO,  its surely the more complex music did in a game at this time..

Is buying the game the only way to get that? I'd love to hear it but I don't know if they've released it separately.

Hopefully we should appreciate that given points in time are not so significant as the nature of what is impressed on the mind, and how it is retained and used.

One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Another one...:

ELP - Memoirs of an Officer and Gentleman/Honorable Company reminds me of "Zidane's Theme", from Final Fantasy IX.

And some parts of Hamburguer Concerto (Focus) sound like the music from "Spyro the dragon"...

Great guys keep 'em coming!  I thought of another one- the music and lyrics in The Court of the Crimson King (song) remind me heavily of Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for the SNES.

The sync'd solo in Metropolis pt. 1 reminds me of Sonic the hedgehog. Especially the music when you get invincible.

I just thought of another one- the really cool church organ line during the really spacy, atmospheric part of Awaken by Yes reminds me of the music from Hollow Bastion in Kingdom Hearts... yeah I play Disney Video games... not really that's the only one... and I must say its darn good!

Woah that's just what I was gonna write. Also, I think the beginning of part 2 of Thick sounds like Zelda, before the music comes in, when its just wind sounds and flute.

I got another couple guys...

The beginning synth lines of Tank by ELP remind me of Zelda boss music.

The Intro to Lost by VdGG reminds me of some music from A Link to the Past... don't remember which... probably the dark town or something.

NERDS

Just kidding Im just like all of you guys   because video games are cool (well, some times they are adictive, but Im not a video games adict).

A lot of songs of ELP remain me some video games music of the NES or SNES, the instrumental part of Metropolis Pt1 sounds like Megaman.

The Castlevania soundtrack is very progy.

When i listen prog some friends ask me if that is a video game song or someting like that.

I have a ska/jazz cover of the tetris song that is supposed to be played by Mr. Bungle but I have searched on the web for information confirming that and I can't find it anywhere, if anyone knows about it please tell me. Anyways this song is really cool very jazzy and proggy with a really nice sax solo.

Focus-Neurotika =>Sounds like a mix between "Clash on the Big Bridge" (the original, not the Black Mages version), from FFV, and "Still More Fighting", from VII.

Focus-Elspeth Of Nottingham => "Kids Run Through the City Corner" (FFVI).

Focus-Anonymus II => It reminds me of "Driver, you are the Wheelman".

ELP-Toccata => Sometimes, it sounds like the music from the Lifa Tree from FFIX.

ELP-Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression and ELP-Trilogy => Some parts sound a lot like "Run!" from FFIX.

ELP-Fanfare for the Common Man => "Walking the Snowy Mountains" from FFV.

The Enid-Humouresque => "Hunter's Chance" (the original version) from FFIX.

Genesis-Watcher of the Skies => "The Evil Mist's Rebirth" from FFIX.

"Crazy Motorcycle", "The Birth of a God" (from FFVII) and "Maybe I'm a Lion" (from FFVIII) sound like Deep Purple songs.

"JENOVA" (both the original and the Black Mages version) reminds me of the Blade Runner music (by Vangelis).

Vangelis-Conquest of Paradise => "Terra's theme" from FFVI. They use the sequence of "La Folia", wich also appears on "Vamo' Alla Flamenco","Black Mages Village" and "Limited Time", from FFIX.

Pink Floyd-Is There Anybody Out There? => "Succession of Witches", "Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec" and "The Extreme", from FFVIII (Uematsu uses this sequence A LOT, it also appears on other FF games).

Final Fantasy battle music sounds A LOT like "The battle of Evermore", by Led Zeppelin.

Monkey Island 2 music reminds me of "Being for the Benefit of Mr.Kite!" from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".

Ok, enough for today (I'm sure I knew some more)...

I'll be back.
