Akira Yamaoka. His work is insanely great, especially SH2. I think he did much of the sound FX too,  not just the music, at least for the first two games.

nostalgia.

Re: videogame soundtracks

I seriously think Super Mario World on the snes has the best soundtrack ever.  More Nintendo favs are Zelda Windwaker, Animal Crossing (KK Technopop!) and Okami.

Re: videogame soundtracks

Diablo tristram song is great! Torchlight has the same guy doing music there too, quite good.

I really like Rob Hubbard and David Whittaker of course.

Homeworld 1/Cataclysm/2 OST by Paul Ruskay - who has done quite a lot of OSTs and all have really nice ethnic elements and spaced out ambience that feels very thick. Same goes for the Fallout 1 and 2 soundtracks, very well crafted and copy the Selected Ambient Works Vol2 a bit, without infringing.

Today I stumbled upon an OST for a Halflife 2 mod, Neotokyo. Don't have a full opinion yet, but HOLY SHIT. This is a masterpiece.

Yes it is unfortunate..

I still remember creeping the streets of new york ..  I remember tasting my first beer in that dive bar in hells kitchen and paying for it with the credits i hacked out of the atm machine..  I love games where you can hack, almost as much as I love the perfect blend of action/rpg/ strategy... deus ex has it all.. the sequels are truly a shame..

more cyberpunk themed game musix:

Goldeneye just had such a killer soundtrack!!!
Brian is kinda right though, the first mario on snes is hard to beat.

Oh god and I'm a big sucka for the final fantasy 7 soundtrack. Such beauty, as nerdy as the whole hype around the game may be.

Also the music during the cyberspace run in system shock 1 is damn excellent - but I can't find a video where it sounds as it did on my computer. hmm

very scary. that music adds a david lynchy-atmosphere to it.

Re: videogame soundtracks

the difference between amiga music made by David Whittaker using his own .DW music format and regular .MODs is fucking huuuge (especially Beast 2 and 3 ost's by tim wright)

Re: videogame soundtracks

that donkey kong brings back many memories love that tune... would really calm me down to get my gaming right when tryin to avoid those evil fish, that video just needs some of those "boiiing" sound effects from the swordfish as well as some barrells crashing open.
