Message: [QUOTE="Tsukishima, post: 540194, member: 690362"] Drum & Bass & Jungle are what I'd consider to be a lost art in the 5th gen of gaming and I really miss it. Nothing really got me so much in the vibe like a video game suddenly going "No, we're done playing the straight man. Go fight this boss while jamming to the amen break in the background, we don't care." It was such a special vibe to me. Ape Escape, Ridge Racer T4, Bomberman Hero. There's so many incredible examples of games that elected to use this genre. What really got me though was the ones where just a particular song in the soundtrack was a jungle song. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile & Soul of the Samurai on PSOne are some such cases.

It created such a legendary experience listening to it. This one really speaks to me in particular, because of that ambient buildup into something extremely amazing.
