The soundtrack to the Final Fantasy series (and anything by Nobuo Uematsu) is simply astounding, and is one of the reasons that series is so great.

Video game music is very progressive.

Yeah I can really see the connection with the Snow Goose and say music from Final Fantasy. "Sanctuary" is one of those tracks that immediately come to mind, as well as "Dunkirk" and many others.

ok, sort of, not really

 

Maybe some of the younger posters can agree with me here.  You see, I was first familiar with video game soundtracks before Camel, epecially RPGs.  When I first heard Camel's Snowgoose, a few tracks really reminded me of some RPG music and if I were to ever make an RPG I would use these tracks.  I am listening to Drafted off of Nude right now and I am getting the same feeling. 

It isnt just my, my sisters boyfriend said the same thing recently. Anyway, I think it is just kind of weird, seeing as the band was releasing these albums long before RPGs existed

and speaking of Camel, Nude is f**king fantastic, honestly where did this album come from.  This and Raindances are not talked about enough.  I thought Breathless and I can see your house from here were both duds, but maybe I should check them out again

edit: and for some reason, with Nude, I get this PFs The Wall feeling from it, anyone else

so anyone else, Camel and RPG music?
