I can't allow this thread to go on any further without mention of Hideki Naganuma. Best known for the Jet Set/Grind Radio soundtracks, but also the brilliant Sonic Rush and Ollie King OSTs, he is one of the few VG composers I've come across who works primarily in the realm of Breakbeat, Hip-hop, Funk and Soul. Pretty much everything on the JSR/JSRF and Ollie King OSTs stand up on their own as amazing music, the Sonic Rush OST being far more "gamey" in its sound but still really drat good.

JSRF definitely has a more early 90s rave vibe to it

Really going to have to delve into the SMT/Persona OSTs some day. I've only played P3 and SMT4 but those have fantastic music. Started P4G the other day and that's got great music but I think 3 is better, especially the tracks on the Portable soundtrack.

The talk of Touhou reminded me of Umineko No Naku Koro Ni, a series of Visual Novels which I've never actually played, but the music is superb. Mostly Trance and Classical styles that meld together really well.

I love the Street Fighter 3rd Strike OST so much. That's all I really came here to say.
