Good thread idea. I've been wanting someone else to validate how loving awesome the Earthworm Jim soundtracks are. There's this wonderful self-awareness that accompanies all of the songs from each level, so you end up with weird poo poo like 16-bit iterations of Beethoven pieces. The original songs are terrific, too. One of the things I've found really interesting about the soundtracks as I grew up some is how much the arrangements differ for the various versions of the games. SNES versions are totally different arrangements than Genesis ones, which are totally different from the Xbox 360 HD port. I'd love to know what goes into making these kinds of calls. I assume in the 90's it had to do with hardware limitations, so your options for instrumentation were limited by the console you're working with, but it was awesome to see that the Xbox port rebuilt all the music again.
