Not really video game music though. Just regular old music in a video game.


Yea, you're definitely not wrong and you've got a good point. It was the very first thing that popped into my mind when I thought of video game music. Incidentally I've been whistling the tune of that fucker since I posted and can't seem to get that poo poo out of my head.

Incidentally, there's a version of Korobeiniki I found on the internet a long time ago that I simply have not been able to track down again. It has my favourite arrangement of the music and vocals, and I simply can't find it. The singer is a woman, and I think the primary instrument was a fiddle, I think (definitely no balaikas in this one). If that sounds familiar to anyone I'd be very grateful. Might have been an older recording as I don't remember the sound quality being that great.

Nah, not that one. As said, definitely no balalaikas in the version I recall. Possible it might be gone. This was many years ago and I did not grab it off of youtube. It had a bit more of an "oriental" or "middle eastern" sound to it if I recall, might have been a kind of a "klesmerized" (doubt that's a word) version, what with no balaikas, though there might have been an accordion, or something similar, in there as well (which I guess doesn't really fit the "oriental" sound).

Though I guess this isn't really the thread to go hunting down old recordings of Russian folk songs.

Ah, I got ya'. I actually didn't have the faintest loving clue as to what a balalaikas is until like 5 minutes ago. I guess it's kinda like a zany Russian ukulele a of sorts. Neat.

Speaking of video game music that's really just regular old music the remake of Sid Meier's Pirates! had some pretty good versions of the British Grenadiers (mixed up with another song in there) in it.

Some of the other music in that game was also pretty good, such as the Dutch and the Jesuit theme.

It still kicks total rear end even if nobody remembers this remake now.

Something about the way it blends synth with 80s rock with orchestra. Every song is good in it's own way.

And to a lesser extent, the Supreme Commander soundtrack. It fit the game really well but imo doesn't sound great just on its own.

Ed Harrison's OST for Source mod Neotokyo might be the most criminally wasted soundtrack ever. CD Projekt could just co-opt it for Cyberpunk 2077 and I'd be perfectly content with that.
