|OT| Soundtracks - It really whips the llama's ass

[Deku]

Welcome to the council's official(?) soundtrack thread. Let's discuss soundtracks for our favourite games. Post your favourite tunes

Steam has recently added support for soundtracks on the client. You can find it if you select soundtracks above the game list. If you already own soundtracks you will see the number of soundtracks that you own.

Not all soundtracks are tagged as soundtracks yet. There are still soundtracks that are listed as DLCs. The devs need to convert their soundtracks dlcs to proper soundtracks. This will take time

Currently there is a soundtrack sale on Steam which ends on 14 February

Steam Soundtrack Sale

From now until Valentine’s Day (Feb 14) , hundreds of favorite game soundtracks are on sale during the Steam Soundtrack Sale!

Winamp, good times

Winamp, good times

I still use it

 

[fokkusu]

I still use it

Hehe, I have used foobar2000 for few years

 

[Deku]

I still use it

Still use it?
I remember when I used it I tried to find a good looking skin, adding cool features and such. But then I realized that they are only visuals. I don't look at those visuals when I am listening so I dropped everything and used a vanilla Winamp.

Then a some years ago I started to use foobar2000. Same thing there, I did the same stupid thing to make it visually nice looking. But I also dropped that

 

[lashman]

Still use it?

yup, same here ... i use winamp for "lose" files i listen to occasionally

and foobar/musicbee (depends on my mood, i guess ... or something ) for my actual music library

 

[RionaaM]

What a great idea for a thread! I'd love to contribute later, once I have enough time (or are bored enough) to think.

Winamp, good times

A few years ago I discovered Wesley Willis while searching for that phrase's origin, and my life hasn't be the same ever since. It's much worse.

 

[ShadowAUS]

Jeez that title brings back memories. I haven't used Winamp in at least a decade. If I'm listening to digital music I mostly just use Plex these days because lazy. If I really want to listen to something local and lossless I just use Dopamine on W10 or Audacious on Linux.

More on topic, what was y'all's favourite OST(s) of 2019? For me it was a 3 way tie between Anthem,

Katana Zero,

and Sayonara Wild Hearts,

To be honest though, 2019 was a fantastic year for game soundtracks so there are like 30 other selections that are very close behind those 3 and I would have a hard time coming up with a hard top 20.

 

[Li Kao]

 

[Blizniak]

I'm gonna drop some recommendations since this seems like the right place to do so.




All 3 being electronic music with Dustforce and Below ost being very chill, just like the game.
For something completely different

There are of course absolute classics like Doom 2016, Hotline Miami or Transistor that I feel most are aware of already.

 

[Stevey]

The GOAT


That first time I finished the game, hearing this after that journey: so good.

 

[fokkusu]

Reminds me of Ghost in the Shell movie music

 

[ezodagrom]

Newest boss theme on Phantasy Star Online 2 (JP version):


The 2nd half is the pretty much the full version of the current intro of the game.
(I wish SEGA would put more Phantasy Star OSTs on spotify, the ones already there are not enough).

 

[Kvik]

I was looking for this thread the other week because I want to post some Falcom music. Bookmarked.

Please post them

Current soundtracks during work hours are:

• Factorio
• Kenshi
• System Shock 2
• Satellite Reign

 

[Kvik]

Let's start with the classics.

Felghana was my first Ys game and I always love the menu music. "A Premonition =Styx=" was composed by Mieko Ishikawa.

The original was from the X68K version of Wanderers from Ys



The version in Felghana was composed by Yukihiro Jindo. Great piano arrangement.



The 2018 fan compilation album "MelodYs and HarmonYs" also has a great take on this track, arranged by Jorito

 

[Valdien]

Some tracks that I've been listening to the past few weeks. AC7's OST is so good.



This one's pretty relaxing.




The opening mission track sent chills down my spine the first time.

 

[Ex-User (119)]

a few of mine a queen never dissapoionts

many people hate the franchise but holy shit do they have the music

dynasty warriors



ninja gaiden

holy fuck the main theme


and some alma because shes the shit


guild wars

for and mmo this is some hype shit


and for a fight this is some hype as fuck stuff trust a queen

skies of arcadia

 

[Kvik]

Everyone knows Yuzo Koshiro is one talented individual.




Termination has a bunch of great arrangements. The SAV one is probably my favourite.

 

[FunnyJay]

OK, so since I was a bit to lazy to post examples yesterday, here are some:

Factorio - The Search for Iron

Factorio - Beyond Factory Outskirts

Factorio - Efficiency Program

Kenshi - Theme

System Shock II - Med Sci 1

System Shock II - Ops 1

System Shock II - Hydro 2

Satellite Reign - Infiltrate

 

[Madventure]

Fight Songs: The Music Of Team Fortress 2
Is one of the things that brings me great joy from soundtracks

 

[Kvik]

I want to highlight some of the tracks from Trails from Zero. I'm not even halfway through the game so I might post some more later on.

Geofront is pretty low-key as far as dungeon themes goes, but it's still pretty upbeat.



Afternoon in Crossbell is another easy listener. Talking to numerous Crossbell NPCs will be a chore without it.



Mainz town theme is rather melancholic, but it's also relaxing.



So does the Armorica Village theme.

 

[lashman]

i'll just leave this here ....

few chosen original tracks from the best game of last decade

 

[Kvik]

A new arrange from that one talented dude.


(thanks, preta)

The original.
