Harrow posted:

In a similar vein, some of the boss themes from SaGa Frontier are insanely good. Here's T260G's final boss theme, in which he fights a rad computer called the Genocide Heart, and it owns so much:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAqB1lOiH6A


From a couple pages back and this is a long shot, but somebody once linked a really cool cover of that song with some vocals in Japanese added, but I have never been able to find it again. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

SaGa Frontier had some absurdly good music all around.

People always rag on the Dynasty Warriors games for their "butt rock" soundtracks, but some of the songs are actually really good. The Battle of Chibi music from DW8 especially surprised me, with its ridiculous intensity and how it seems to fit both sides of the fight equally well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DImfrqeiy-0

But even some of the music from the older games is really good. Especially some of the final battle tracks from DW3:

To me, the music from Armored Core has always been excellent (except maybe in Last Raven). However, the music for AC5 is the exactly my kinda jam. I loving love the heavy use of distortion that makes the whole soundtrack sound gritty and robotic. It's like Skynet decided to make an album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txAP8Es4nz0

This one's my favorite.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yhpGBAvHl8

Some rave-like music as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkP7RpSkKCM

The sequel to AC5, Verdict Day, also had some incredible music. The music still makes heavy use of distortion, but is overall lighter in tone than 5.

This one sounds chaotic at first but really comes together after listening to it. There are lyrics, but like in every Armored Core soundtrack, they are both unintelligible and nonsensical.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhsRrlFPR_M

Also, the garage music in Verdict Day is rad as gently caress.

I loving love game soundtrack stuff and a lot of newer games have some incredible composers behind them.

Lifeformed made the soundtrack for Dustforce, and it's amazing. He does lots of stereo imaging tricks so headphones recommended. People who have no interest in games like this music.
https://lifeformed.bandcamp.com/track/sepia-tone-laboratory
https://lifeformed.bandcamp.com/track/cider-time

Jim Guthrie made the soundtrack for Sword and Sworcery, and it's also fantastic.
https://jimguthrie.bandcamp.com/album/sword-sworcery-lp-the-ballad-of-the-space-babies

Czech artist Thomas Dvorak wrote the excellent quirky and jazzy soundtrack for Mechanarium:
http://store.floex.cz/album/machinarium-soundtrack

And as a final recommendation for anyone who likes chiptune music, listen to almost anything from Big Giant Circles to get your loving mind blown:
