What's the most beautiful video game music you ever heard?

all the soundtracks of Alundra

Castlevania: Symphony of the night PSX

Listen to them all in the video..Pure Class..UPDATE..FULL SOUNDTRACK.



Metal Gear Solid Main theme PSX

Brilliant....Whole Soundtrack

I saw this thread and had to post mine. Some of these tracks I still love today... Most of these from the Amiga. Hopefully really worth your time listening...

Ghouls and Ghosts... music written by a guy called Tim Follin.

Intro tune
This first one I find mesmorising... it starts out all heavy and everything but by the end it becomes so blissful, you'll just want the sun to shine and warm your skin.



Level 2
So each level had its' own tune, that gave it a flavour. Level 2 always stood out as so different to anything I'd heard. The musician who wrote these tunes is simply awesome.



Level 3
Having revisited these tunes, I have to say that I think Ghouls and Ghosts on the Amiga had some of the best written music on any game I've played, just because of sheer originality. Level 3 carries that on...



High scores...
So finally on this game we have the high score board music. A great finish to this masterpiece.



So next, I don't think I could leave this post without adding some music from Shadow of the Beast... 2

The game over screen...
Anyone who played this game will remember that failing never felt so good, thanks to the picture and blissful riff that went with it. Enjoy!


Hope you liked some of these tunes Thanks for listening and sharing your own... great thread. Nostalgia eh!

Geoff & Tim Follins work on the Amiga was superb, some of their Super Nintendo stuff is also amazing.

Can't say i was a huge fan of David Whittakers stuff ie Shadow of the Beast, for a long while he kept on using the pan pipes sound and it became annoying.

While on the C64, Rob Hubbard was the man...





No Harry Hill Apprentice sing alongs now! (UK joke)



And lastly

I loved the music of Suikoden 2 and i just so happen to have the game disc in front of me as i am typing this.

Some of the best videogame music is found in the Shenmue games for the Dreamcast system if you ask me.












Grandia had great music too.








Skies of Arcadia was nice also.

not the most beautiful but a favourite ! my personal favourite is the morrowind elder scrolls music !

SotC is one of my favourite games of all time, so yes!! Love the music. There's even orchestrated live versions on youtube.

Totally agree, Morrowind had amazing music. And yes SotC

Dues Ex Human Revolution


I also think that this one is a winner too:
Starcraft 2 - Zerg - Theme 2.

Anything Jesper Kyd did for all of the Assassin's Creed soundtracks, esp AC2. It'a beautiful mixture of electronic and ambient music mixed with Italian space epic opera.

Also, nobuo uematsu did a master piece soundtrack for FF8 I think, esp the Shumi Village song.

One Winged Angel- Final Fantasy VII , Sephiroth final battle. Best boss battle ever, took me like a hour to beat him the first time.



Also All eyes on Me from FFVIII:



And last but not least from FFX, Suteki Da Ne:

I couldn't find it anywhere on Youtube, so I just have to link from the Glitch wiki: "Goodnight Groddle", or the GNG Music Block. I tear up a little each and every time I hear it.

All three iterations of Hell March from the Command and Conquer: Red Alert Series:







Also the Red Alert 3 Menu Music

I don't know about most beautiful, but here are some high energy classics

Xanxion! I remember that I was always jealous of my m8 who had a 64 with it's multichannel audio haha, I also liked suicide express music on the 64. Meanwhile back on the zx spectrum this was one of my favourites

I see a lot of people have mentioned FF7, but for me, specifically, I would say the Prelude and Aerith's theme are the most beautiful. Another beautiful tune, although obscure, would be the music on the menu screen of Starfox 64.

I really love the Silent Hill soundtracks. I think Akira Yamaoka is simply amazing.




I also enjoyed very much the music in MGS4....especially the theme song

For me it has to be Mass Effect 3 "Leaving Earth" theme, check it out if you haven't heard it

Wing Commander 2, song at 0:00-0:52


Wing Commander 1 music:

Just about any of the music from Final Fantasy 6 (FF3 on the SNES).

Alot of the level music from the original DOOM are amazing tunes as well.

Its gotta be this for me, i love the shound track to most of the Final Fantasy games
