The Video Game Music Thread

[resilient sphere]

yeah... down with all this blustery orchestral opulence featuring melodies lifted from old sea shanties, as though composed by brain-damaged versions of Mussorgsky who spend all day grinding MMOs while listening to old Blind Guardian albums. Minus the budget, all teh great musical heroes of the Infinity engine are just dudes who make harp-heavy MIDI tunes for Kongregate tower defense games, and their fathers probably mangled Irish folk tunes at open mic nights. Stop trying to feed me Powerful Epic Scores you unimaginative bastards.

to future composers of game soundtrack music: do this

Hi there,

I thought your readers might be interested to know composer Inon Zur (Sword Coast Legends, Dragon Age 1&2, Icewind Dale II, Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal) is releasing a compilation of unreleased music tracks: https://www.facebook.com/InonZurMusic/posts/10152978185042286

Have a great week!

This is my ringtone.

I'm telling you, stop whatever it is you're doing and listen to this shit.

I wish Rockstar kept the jungle/dnb station in GTA. Best music to listen to while racing/chasing.

Edit: Clint Mansell of Pop Will Eat Itself (the band who composed this song) went on to be a great film composer, most notably for Darren Aronofsky films (Requiem for a Dream, Wrestler, Black Swan).

What's with all the gook shit lately?

Here's some proper american music:

 

[Hiisi]

Unused songs from Bloodlines. At least I hadn't heard them before, although they have been around the internet for a few years now by Rik Schaffer's kindness.

more!

I always wondered where that fragment on Ocean House's discarded radio came from. Lo, Edward's Theme.
