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 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!

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

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.

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"...

The village music in Diablo 1 sounds like something Genesis would have done.

How about the Incubus 27 minute epic from Halo 2. Now THAT is an
incredible video game song.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

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.

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..

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.
