Prog and Video Game Soundtracks

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I think that if you really like orchestral prog with extended instrumentals (like Yes, for instance), you may find certain video game soundtacks highly satisfying. 
I do because i usually like the music itself rather than the lyrics.
Fable or Final Fantasy(series) have sublime soundtracks and excellent prog elelments.
Even Halo 2 has a masterful soundtrack.
I know that games aren't for everyone, but if you like prog (and i'm assuming that if you're on this site, then you do indeed like prog) then you should check these and other titles out if you so wish.

	Final Fantasy has some of the greatest music in any genre, in my opinion, and the use of so many different styles and instruments, including the use of a full orchestra, is very prog-y.
