Seriously if you came out of 90s pc gaming with one itch, it should've been that for Frank Klepacki and his industrial sounds.

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

This song is maybe my favorite in the series. Yeah Hell March is flashy, Mechanical man is OG, but this one is a perfect song to march and build armies to as the tiberium spreads ushering in peace through power.

honestly I'm not big on video game soundtracks but Klepacki's songs always stuck with me, long after I stopped playing C&C games.

I think his magic secret is his soundtracks are mostly NOT atmospheric, moody, or have the many trappings of a soundtrack. It's just cool music that kinda fits the setting. It all entirely stands on its own. I bought the special edition bundle of Tiberian Sun that came with Firestorem and a copy of the C&C soundtrack, despite already having three copies, because I wanted the soundtrack.

poo poo listening to that song forum user "basic hitler" took me back to 2010 when I was in Afghanistan shopping at bazaars for gifts for friends and family then that song would no poo poo pop into my head.

E: ^^ didn't see your post until I did. I'm definitely not a big game music listener but I always find the C&C music popping in my head. I'll forget it for years but then the right situation comes up and the song comes with it.

to me it's the sound of a quality soundtrack. I played the games and loved them. But that was almost 20 years ago. The fact that my mind still recalls those songs when they seem appropriate helps show how inexplicably impactful they were.

Way too many posts where the music is just a real recorded orchestra played back through an mp3 in the game itt, that isn't video game music

Might as well just type in baba yetu like some lazy dirtbag

Video game music is music made by a video game, you can't just post Come On Eileen because it was on the radio in vice city

Some crossover with the original Unreal but you don't hear this kind of synth anymore: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uX0hU7jQ5O4

The EVE soundtrack can be great for evoking this feeling too.

The eve soundtrack and the scale of everything are the two shining aspects of it, i think.
