I know you probably love a dozen tracks, please pick one, thank you in advance.

EDIT: Thank you all so far, especially everyone who kept it to one. I am at work currently and will make my way through the list but may not get a chance to thank you individually. I am checking them all out though and appreciating it.

The album this track is on is amazing as a whole. It's like a musical journey around the world. It's a beautifully cohesive album start to finish.

If you like chiptunes, "the moon" from DuckTales does a great job at instilling a sense of adventure. If chiptunes aren't your thing, here's an orchestral version

Unreal Tournament Soundtrack - Foregone Destruction (Facing Worlds) Wait until the DnB kicks in. Monster Kill

[–] ignism 3 points 1 week ago

The complete OST has to be my go to music for when I need that extra push. Such bangers.

My Only Chance - The Toxic Avenger https://youtu.be/SeAAi7jWOl8

It's a fucking hard call though because there are a lot of great picks out there - Doom does amazing metal and Hotline Miami has a legendarily good soundtrack... but Furi takes the cake for me personally.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Great choice. I've got this album on vinyl and it's excellent from start to finish.

The Spine - Transistor OST.

There's 3 versions, though... The soundtrack version with lyrics, the game instrumental, and the humming version.

Most of the tracks in the game have at least 2 versions, music is kind of a central theme of the story.

The Spine by Darren Korb and Ashley Barret, from the Transistor soundtrack. Not my kind of game honestly, I never finished it, but I keep coming back to the soundtrack ❀️

Halo 2 OST - Impend

If you want the version with a little more oomph, there's a remaster version. I listen to this for coding.

I like Life is Strange 1's sound track tbh. Tony Hawk and Grand Theft Auto and Pokemon and Mario all have some excellent music too.

edit: Wow, I forgot a word, and it completely changed the meaning of my sentence lol

Here's a very deep cut. Myst 4 Main Theme: https://youtu.be/yXu6ZYy2WLg

Really gets going at 1 minute in.

Can’t believe no one has suggested this yet: Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Anything from the Loop Hero OST is awesome, but I favor Loop Hero - Loop Blues the most.

Planescape: Torment - Bones of the Night

My son would vote for the Witherstorm theme in Minecraft.

Stickerbush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2.

Bonus: a Charles Cornell breakdown of the song.

What kind of music do you listen to at work? Like high energy vs chill focus music?
