The Diablo Tristram theme, pointed out before, is one of the best pieces of music composed, full stop.

Now for some untermensch music:

If there's one thing RA3 did better than the first two games, hell did well at all, is the music. This and this make me a happier man.

Also, HoMM4 was a mediocre game at best, but goddamn it had the best music of the series EVAR! Listen to this; it has a full-blown duet aria at 1:00, ffs! This shit is incredible!

MOAR! The first few seconds of the Storm of Zehir main theme, while it being a sozzy game, is HEAVAN!

[Unkillable Cat]

The Morrowind theme has been brought up, which is good.

A track from Serious Sam has been brought up...though I'd prefer one of the main fight themes over the Jingle Bells tune.

C&C has been mentioned. Anyone can find at least one track from the older C&C games that they'll like.

Doom has been listed. Awesome.

The "good old" Final Fantasy fight music has been linked to...or at least some modern version of it.

Even Crusader: No Remorse has been dug up. Respect.

So what can I contribute?

The best one there is. Xenon 2: Megablast

The single version, for comparison.

Awesome. Have you ever heard this piece from FFX?

And now, for something completely different!

And the grand finale, No One Lives Forever!

Well, actually there's always room forLeChuck.

 

[roll-a-die]

Yeah say anything you want about Final Fantasy as a game but there is no denying that most of them have a great soundtrack.


I contemplated linking LeChuck but figured someone else would do if for me.

Always found the Heroes of Might and Magic II operatic German music good:

Wizard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u4xR1lE ... re=related
Necromancer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g-qVAZ0 ... re=related
Knight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MrlH51V ... re=related
General music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGroWsGGcTc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB6GsIRQ ... re=related

Very charming. Though judging from the comments on Youtube (and alot of them sounding differant to how I remembered them) the music was greatly differant in U.S and European versions.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

Awesome. Have you ever heard this piece from FFX?

HOLY SHIT BROS DIS PIECE PUMPED ME SO MUCH I LITERALLY STOOD UP, LET OUT A FUCKING DINOSOOR ROAR AND PUNCHED THE MOTHER FUCKING WALL

Christ this thread is fucking pathetic, 3/4 of these tracks wouldn't even fucking wake you up much less qualify as "upbeat", and you're posting them as an example of:

that one music track that when it starts playing your reaction is "aw, yea it's ON NOW!!"

Fucking Escapist-grade pussyfags, the whole lot of you.

in that case, this thread should have ended as soon as someone posted grabbag

 

[Destroid]

Music doesn't need to be upbeat to make you feel like that Emotional Vampire.

I'll admit One Must Fall was a pretty sketchy entry from me, but the rest of them I stand by.

Yeah... I posted that earlier in this thread.

 

[1eyedking]

If not posted, then here you go: Ultima Stones
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHRhq8bc-58

And the theme from Ultima IV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLzvaTGZHsc

But this is a "fuck, let's kick ass" type of music thread, is not?
Have some Alien Shooter then.

PS: Even though it's not "kickass", I have a special place for May Payne's theme in my heart. I'm sure one more of you does, as well.

 

[1eyedking]

Also, here you have GTA 1's theme.

 

[Derper]

Yeah... I posted that earlier in this thread.

The exact same one? Crikey... I didn't have time to check all the links out...
Vidste du at Press Play On Tape var danske?

Yep. I saw the live at The Rock. There's also a clip from TV2 on YouTube (in their own channel).

How do they come across live? Enough catchy tunes to recognize?

More than enough, I'd say, but it depends how much you dabbled in Amiga and Commodore 64. My friend had an Amiga with lots of the games they play tunes from, which is why I know some them. The part where they play Canon Fodder on controllers is straight out hilarious. The drummer plays the drums on a Dancemat from Dance-Dance-Revolution

But they're not that great performers. They're quite stiff on the scene. They're good musicians though.

 

[Hobo Elf]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mTr3o1s ... re=related the Dracula battle theme from Castlevania 4.

 

[Wulfstand]

How could I forget Mafia's main theme .
Also, the Soul Reaver series had some great music in it, and I always liked Battlefield 1942's main theme, too.
