Diablo - "Tristam" for me. Synths, complex arrangement, atmospheric, use of various instruments, long duration. pure prog :) http://www.imeem.com/maccspayne/music/lyCxWt59/diablo_tristrammp3/ |

 Featuring "Dancing Mad" - a 12 minute epic from the final boss fight in FFVI. Yes, yes  |

Mario Theme Tune. Jazz/Fusion anyone?  The FFs though... Nearly every song is prog. ish. Especially Jenova's Theme. My God I'm such a nerd... ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value." Arnold Schoenberg |

what do you think of the tune in my link? it's almost 8 minutes of pure prog. yeah, jenova's theme reminds me of 70s prog mixed with electronica. as for dancing mad, it has strong ELP influences, probably the proggiest FF song. |

| FF have had some very unprog moments, but still good none the less. Memories Of Life from FFIX and the theme from FF:CC in particular are very good folk inspired tunes. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSAXi44_3GY Most songs from Total Annihilation. Though to be honest it's closer to classical than prog. |

Uuuhh,,, you do know someone else made this exact same post about three posts up, right? For my money, this little gem from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is distinctly reminiscent of Gentle Giant in one of their funkier moods: http://www.box.net/shared/dvcyigub6q - http://www.box.net/shared/dvcyigub6q Top notch game too, so it is.

That's pretty proggy, nice find. tho it's energetic mood would irritate the heck out of me if it's in a game, while on a loop. |

It's just for the title screen. Always made me grin from ear to ear when it started up and got me in a great frame of mind for the game, which is highly tongue-in-cheek. The actual in-game music is a little less intrusive (but still pretty quirky and fun).

That's my favorite game of all time!  Great music too. Man, that brings memories back. -------------

It's kind of hard to follow up the Paper Mario song (how did they allow that into the game?). I have found Final Fantasy to have its share of progginess, but my submission comes from Chrono Cross. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nHouO-9uOg - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nHouO-9uOg I'm sure I'll stumble upon more songs as the day goes on. ------------- Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal. |

It's superb, isn't it? It's one of my all-time faves too. It's rare that a game makes me genuinely laugh out loud, but there's some hilarious stuff in there (and some top notch platformy puzzley RPGy fun to boot).

as for chrono cross, I really love this song, especially when it's played during a battle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xgm9mFwgIg (around 0:40 it starts) |

Katamari Damacy - Angel Gift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_T16wbFx_k - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_T16wbFx_k Playing the game stoned and having that song play is one of the most gratifying feelings I've ever had. -------------

The Amoria map on Maple Story has one bar in 7/8ths, so that gets my vote.
