Soundtrack Greats (or the best complete OST full albums)

Terranigma has a memorable soundtrack, but this theme always struck me as the perfect representation of the story: powerful, majestic, dramatic yet melancholic .

Terranigma Full OST:

Thunderforce OST is outstanding but recently I can't stop listening to this fantastic version of Lightning Strikes Again + Metal Squad.

Same for Lords of Thunder, such an amazing sountrack!

Full OST:

Zone of the Enders was one of the first Ps2 titles I ever seen and i was absolutely stunned by it. It's OST really helped the experience. The title OST, "The Origin", had a mysterious, eerie tone that still made me want to replay it (and I have yet to finish the 2nd runner).
Full Ost:

Tokyo Xanadu wasn't the best game ever played but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The music helped the experience tremendously, especially Bravely Storm, during specific climatic moments and battles.

Personal note: Back in the day I played a Turtle in Time even in the arcade.

The conversion for SEGA 16-bit, succeeded in 'getting me to forget even the arcade soundtrack.

The FM+PCM of the Yamaha soundchip was something crazy.

Also, Konami had been able to create an Ex-Novo game for the SEGA hardware, which made it unique and special among all the arcade conversions of the time.

In fact, I even preferred it to the arcade; I enjoyed it quite a bit. (Especially listening to the music in jack/headphones).

During the PS1, Sega Saturn, and N64 era, the larger format allowed for more complex music, enabling talented composers like Nobuo Uematsu, Michiru Yamane, and Hitoshi Sakimoto to create great soundtracks. However, Silent Hill stands out for its atmospheric integration of music and gameplay. While intricate music can sometimes distract from the game, Silent Hill's soundtrack enhances the experience with its minimalist approach, deepening the overall atmosphere.
You deserve two props. One for bringing up Hitoshi Sakimoto, he's worked on a bunch of games and doesn't get enough credit. His work with Masaharu Iwata is some of my favorite video game music of all time.

Second, the soundtrack to SH1. I love the soundtracks to 2-4 as well, but there's just something about the raw industrial feeling Akira Yamaoka went for that works so well. I was pretty young when SH1 was released and it's soundtrack wasn't like anything I had heard before.
Siren's entire soundtrack is 50% of its terror, it makes you imagine all sorts of things, I remember the dread i felt when entering the rice fields..
And you deserve props for bringing up (Forbidden) Siren's soundtrack. I don't think I've ever heard someone talk about it before, but it's some real good stuff. All three games have great soundtracks, but the first game's stuck with me the most. Probably because the game kicked my ass and I had to hear the tracks many times. :V

Shit. What the hell am I going to bring to the table now? x) Final Fantasy Tactics hasn't been brought up yet, but I want something a bit lesser known (I totally did still bring it up though, muwhahaha). Hmm, don't worry fartknockers, I got some stuff.

Anywhere else this might be a deep pull, but a surprising amount of people seem to be into this series here. That's nothing but a good thing and I present Front Mission 3's soundtrack. I just went through the soundtrack picking out my favorites and man, lots of memorable tracks. Kinda cheesy and totally 90s PS1 music.

Oh look, my favorite racing game and one of the best racing games ever also has a fantastic soundtrack. Hello F-Zero GX! Super hype music for racing and lots of fun character themes. Has one of my favorite menu themes ever too!

Finally, a rather unknown game with a killer soundtrack. Firepower 2000 (Super SWIV)! It's really fun in co-op and just in general. I've yet to beat it, I suck at these type of games, but I have gotten super high and binged the soundtrack many times.

Hopefully someone will find something to like in here. ::biggrin
 
AWESOME MUSIC
Those are some real bangers. Is Omega Boost worth playing? I've seen it around but never heard much about it.

Next up I have, well, one soundtrack! Mick Gordon has been around for awhile, but most people seem to know his work from the Doom reboot series. Those games have some good stuff, but it's not the kind of music that I just sit down and listen to, I feel it works better in the actual games. Well, my favorite of his soundtracks happens to have the best of both worlds! I'm talking about the first and second season of the Killer Instinct reboot! Sadly the third season's tunes were not done by him, but Atlas Plug and Celldweller still did a good job. Did you also know the first season of the KI reboot was made by the studio behind Silent Hill: Homecoming? Thank goodness they improved by the time KI came around. Anyway, enough yapping, have some stuff!


It was actually pretty hard to narrow it down to 5 songs, but being limited is often a good thing, or I would have just posted most of the soundtrack. x) Mick Gordon's YouTube channel only has a handful of songs from the soundtrack, but AppealToTreason has all the music from all three seasons and I actually prefer his mixes for some songs. That's why TJ Combo's theme is not the one from Mick Gordon's channel. :V Give the rest of the soundtrack a listen if you like these tracks! They're not all equally as banging, but I feel even the lesser of the tracks are fine.
