With permission from [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/user/64295-dark/"]Dark[/url], Mikhail Tal, and [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/user/33873-opalmoon/"]Opalmoon[/url], I'm going to attempt to start this station up again! The first two stations were huge successes, garnering over 175 combined tracks over the span of their respective runs. You can find them [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/199928-the-video-game-music-station/"]here[/url], and [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/221942-the-video-game-music-station/"]here[/url]. Video game music is an integral part of any game. Ranging from that classic overworld theme from Super Mario Bros. to the heavily orchestrated tracks of Okami, video games would definitely not be the same without a defining soundtrack. Fighting a boss battle, witnessing a character death, watching the credits scroll by... all are made more emotive by the bleeps and bloops, or the orchestrations playing in the background. Obviously, this station would be nothing without contributions from members. I really encourage you to post your own favorite VGM here for all to see. If it's awesome enough, I'll put it up here. If it blows my brain out with sexiness, then you get a rep. This station cannot survive without contributions, so feel free to share your favorites! [b]For the first time, all stations will be made up of contributions from members and not from me. (save for the Editor's Picks station and the Featured station) Keep this thread alive with your music, guys![/b] Thanks for your time, and I hope you stay tuned into the Video Game Music Station! [b]To contribute, all you need to do is post the name of the song and the link! It's that simple![/b] [spoiler="Stations Guide"] The VGMS is divided into many sections.

The composer that brought us the OSTs for Donkey Kong Country is undoubtedly the master of the SNES game music era. Each track of his music has such an ambient feel, and goes above and beyond the quality of music expected of such a retro game system. Thank you, Mr. Wise, for continuing to push gaming hardware to the limit with your beats!

It begins with a lilting and sorrowful piano soli, with soft saxophone interludes. I just find this piece absolutely relaxing and just a bit sorrowful. Towards :46, violins come in and really exemplify the downtrodden mood of the track. This Pre-Release Version is cut short, but the full track can be found [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw2sz-tqegU&feature=related"]here[/url]. I don't know, I just liked this version more. x) [/spoiler] [spoiler="2"] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECjDfQd8QVc"][b]Main Theme[/b][/url] - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty This track was my favorite for the longest of times. It has a catchy, modern beat infused with classic instruments. What more could a VGM geek like me want? This song is definitely one of the most majestic themes of any game ever, especially at 3:02. Simply beautiful, this track almost makes you forget that Snake would be throwing grenades at plumbers some time later. [/spoiler] [spoiler="3"] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw6w0iF94ew"][b]Shenhua[/b][/url] - Shenmue Shenmue was a deep, and emotional game. Ryo's struggles are encapsulated in this theme, my favorite track from the iconic "Shenmue" and easily one of the most moving. In a game spiked with tragedy, Shenhua gives you hope with an epic orchestration, but reminds you of sad roots with lilting erhu solos. Anyone who is a fan of Japanese-flavored music should definitely give this game a try. [/spoiler] [spoiler=4] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vphmGNSlUhU"][b]Track 11[/b][/url] - Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin This song is one of my favorite tracks of all time. The musical drive of this song just rocks your pants off, as real guitarists solo and break your "rock on!" meter. The Sega CD finally allowed for quality VGM tracks, and this one has stuck with me for ages. Stick with this one for the entire duration of the piece, if you like getting your face shredded off by the amazing rock feel it provides. [/spoiler] [spoiler=5] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf1npMtIyVc"][b]Phantasmagoric[/b][/url] - Mother 3 Just when I thought the Mother soundtrack couldn't get any better, this soul-wrenching music started playing at the end of the game. Watching fires blaze around you as the Dragon creates a new Tazmily, right after the senseless death of someone close to you... no amount of words can describe how deeply emotive this piece is. The game ends with this music, and at 2:00, I started bawling. Mother 3 is truly a forgotten masterpiece, especially in the VGM category. [/spoiler] [spoiler=6] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKno6qPQEJg"][b]Forest[/b][/url] - Blaster Master One of the most underrated tracks of its time, Forest captures the upbeat feel of the Blaster Master OST. It begins with a driving beat, but doesn't lack flow at :46. I deeply love this game music, and I can safely assure you that the other tracks in this game live up to expectations. [/spoiler] [spoiler=7] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bIZHdR8Dao"][b]Title Screen[/b][/url] - Spider-Man and the X-Men Yessss. Nothing was better in my little childhood years than the old arcade games down at the store. One of these games was "Spider-Man and the X-Men", and right from the Title Screen, I knew this game would eat up my quarters for a while. I loved the screaming guitar licks and the old-fashioned synth of the arcade. Please take a listen? [/spoiler] [spoiler=8] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEFIZh_Zscc"][b]Welcome to Rapture[/b][/url] - Bioshock Happy Rapture Day everyone! To celebrate, I dug up my favorite tune from Bioshock, the insanely whimsical and discordant "Welcome to Rapture". The violins make the piece, as they form a warped melody. The modern orchestration also boosts the song's appeal as it backs the violins. Take a listen! [/spoiler] [spoiler=9] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLmUCwcKqtI"][b]Theme of Sakuya Izayoi (Remix)[/b][/url] - Touhou: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody This song is... wow. It grabs you right from the beginning and never lets go, with a superb techno beat. This remix replaces violins with synthesizers... and a fully sped up song gives this piece a dance-like feel. I love when it breaks away from the beat for a slower, more melodic approach. This song is great for motivating people, just saying. [/spoiler] [spoiler=10] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZQdrKGETyc"][b]Monkey's Delivery Service[/b][/url] - Mother 3 This song is grating, and it matches the mood of the situation perfectly. Stacked for time, you must deliver a set of packages to certain townsfolk on time... before your cruel master catches you. It's decidedly melancholic, and I just love how instruments keep getting added to the piece to build on the melody. [/spoiler] [b]General Music[/b] [spoiler=1] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF_T1FplLCk&feature=related"][b]Fighting of the Spirit[/b][/url] - Tales of Phantasia [u]Contribution by ~ Hayate Ayasaki[/u] This song is intense, and I forget whether it took place during a battle or not. Regardless, I'm putting this in General. This track grabs you by the hair from the very beginning and takes you for a ride, what a thrilling ride it is. Infused with fast-paced electric riffs and a wicked bassline, this song wouldn't let me go from its awesomeness, and I thank Hayate for letting me hear it. This is PlayStation music at its finest. Oh, and you can check out a totally awesome remix here. [/spoiler] [spoiler=2] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ3khsva6E8"][b]Main Theme[/b][/url] - Ghost Trick [u]Contribution by ~ Wind Sorcerer Vaati[/u] This composition is unbelievable. When I first listened to it, I just couldn't believe that the DS was capable of cranking out such musical goodness. And yet, here I sit, the funky Main Theme of Ghost Trick washing over me. Cutting basslines are replaced by an ambient feel at 1:02, and I really think that this music is appropriate for a detective game. This piece makes you feel [i]at[/i] peace, but it also keeps your ears tuned in. I love Ice's fanboyism for this track. [/spoiler] [spoiler=3] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys11lCc_4_c"][b]Theme of Ethan Mars[/b][/url] - Heavy Rain [u]Contribution by ~ Grand Raine[/u] Raine, I love you for contributing this track. This is easily my favorite out of the entire Heavy Rain soundtrack. It exemplifies Ethan Mars's sadness in a truly touching manner, with stirring dynamic contrast and soulful violin. This song could send someone into depression, I'm sure. However, at points in the song, the music flares up, as if there is hope for Ethan. A truly moving masterpiece, and I'm so glad it was recommended. [/spoiler] [spoiler=4] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eSpg2-xqFY"][b]Witch Hunting[/b][/url] - Disgaea [u]Contribution by ~ Engetsu[/u] Oh god, I love Disgaea's music. Engetsu first showed me this eargasmtastic track over PM, and now you all must listen to it. It is beautifully orchestrated and fast-paced, it feels like a giant chase. The frenzied tempo and violins make for a dynamic combo, as all sorts of instruments get in on the action. I wholeheartedly encourage you to check out the rest of Disgaea's OST. You will not be disappointed. [/spoiler] [spoiler=5] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EHt7k-vT1U&feature=player_embedded"][b]Ashes[/b][/url] - Halo Reach [u]Contribution by ~ Mako109[/u] Just because this is a Halo game doesn't mean I'm going to rip on it for no reason. Once you look past all of the hype and blood, this game boasts an impressive soundtrack. I found "Ashes" to be riveting and heartrending. As I understand, this music plays softly during the final cutscene of the game, making it all the more powerful. Clear piano and orchestral flair elevate this piece above the rest, and I thank Mako for recommending it. [/spoiler] [spoiler=6] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzKRuwKyJmY&lc=-seeyK9ElLSxah1KS_Ec84MT-bO8dYrPAJP_cqJss9M"][b]N's Farewell[/b][/url] - Pokemon Black/White [u]Contribution by ~ Mikhail Tal[/u] I don't really know where to begin with this piece. Pokemon Black and White has undoubtedly the best handheld music in a while, and this song is a perfect indicator of the beauty and moving melodies of the soundtrack. The circumstances behind this composition make it all the more emotional... N's betrayal and subsequent departure would not have been the same without this music playing softly in the background. Beautiful, just beautiful. It makes me tear up just thinking about it. And since I don't feel like I'm doing this piece justice... "Beautiful, utterly beautiful. A note to Mother fans - stop patronizing us. We know this sounds like the iconic Love Theme, and we adore it for that. I love Mother 3, but just because you love Mother doesn't make you any more sophisticated than us. I adore the Mother series, but Pokemon is something special to me. It holds nostalgia, childhood, a reminder of innocence and happiness. Don't see us as ignorant, see us for the fellow VG fans we are. This goes for the Console Wars too - just be happy." - Mikhail Tal (on YouTube) I couldn't agree more. [/spoiler] [spoiler=7] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5moTuo-4MKU"][b]Theme of Xion[/b][/url] - Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days [u]Contribution by ~ Dark[/u] Xion was your friend, turned enemy. And like all sad games, she died. This heart-wrenching tune echoes feelings of separation and despair with melodious bells and a humming violin line. I thank Dark for suggesting this, because this one of the most sad and most beautiful pieces of all time. Given the circumstances in which this music is played, you're not human if you don't feel just a bit bad. I have a craving for some ice cream now. [/spoiler] [spoiler=8] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD3zge5a6wU&feature=related"][b]Special Stage 1[/b][/url] - Mega Man 10 [u]Contribution by ~ Wind Sorcerer Vaati[/u] Even though this song may seem decidedly retro, the awesome people at Nintendo brought back new tracks of Mega Man quality back to the Wii. This is one of the more stunning examples, and I thank Vaati for finding it. It has harsh, grating sound, but that motivates you to push that much harder through the stage. The 8-bit riffs throughout the song are really awesome, and sound like an electric guitar solo would today! [/spoiler] [spoiler=10] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pIzWguUmLQ"][b]Arctic[/b][/url] - Super Monkey Ball [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] Super Monkey Ball has one of the most underrated soundtracks out there. This calm and serene music manages to drive you forward while providing a nice backdrop to the laid-back atmosphere of the game. The synth beats make this track feel oddly relaxing, and I have often listened to it before bed. Don't fall off the edge! [/spoiler] [spoiler=11] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUohVCT4roA"][b]Simple and Clean[/b][/url] - Kingdom Hearts [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] Oh god, I love this song. The first Kingdom Hearts remains the only KH game I have even touched (sadly), and this music still sticks with me to this day. Hikaru really did an excellent job with this piece, her voice is so beautiful in tandem with the moving lyrics and the beat that grabs you right from the start. In a series known for badass music, this track certainly stands out. It is honestly the best vocal VGM I have heard in a while. [/spoiler] [spoiler=12] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgPZfQb50JY&feature=player_embedded"][b]Clipping Their Wings[/b][/url] - Medal of Honor: Frontline [u]Contribution by ~ Sabotage[/u] In all our nostalgia and thirst for the 8-bit beeps and bloops of the retro era, we sometimes forget about the majesty within a good modern track of VGM. I thank Sabotage for showing me this track, and I really hope that you take a listen. The full orchestra kicks in at around 3:15, but you'll enjoy the ride this song takes you on until then, I promise. The violins, the deep brass voices... all are prevalent here! [/spoiler] [spoiler=13] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c059uvkyoGQ"][b]Sammer Kingdom[/b][/url] - Super Paper Mario [u]Contribution by ~ The Happy Mask Salesman[/u] I just love Super Paper Mario's musical style. It contains an influx of modern beats coupled with nostalgic 8-bit sound to bring you a decidedly "new-age" retro track. Sammer's Kingdom is one of my favorite songs from the aforementioned game, mainly because it sounds like a ditzy, high-strung Okami track on drugs. Authenic Japanese sound, coupled with the upbeat tone of this track, make it worth listening to! [/spoiler] [spoiler=14] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knd4oW-RpbU"][b]Sealed Time[/b][/url] - Ys: Oath of Felghana [u]Contribution by ~ DSS[/u] I am thrilled that DSS has opened my eyes to a brand-new game soundtrack, and this one is definitely worth a listen. It starts out with a bit of a dance beat, but then shocks you with a violin that sings, before proceeding to shred your ears with some awesome guitar beats. A driving force keeps this song rocking, and I deeply recommend you take a listen to it. ^^ [/spoiler] [spoiler=15] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4BWUjPebmE&feature=related"][b]Theme of Koishi Komeiji[/b][/url] - Touhou 11 [u]Contribution by ~ Jord200[/u] Touhou music is just one soundtrack that I've never really gotten around to listening to, because there's so many tracks. However, I'm always very glad when I get to take a listen to one of these tracks. The key changes in this particular piece were stunning and surprising, and I just found the beat to be very catchy. The same could be said for all Touhou music, though. ;D [/spoiler] [spoiler=16] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKgNWCXQR8k&feature=related"][b]Blue Tears[/b][/url] - Rogue Galaxy [u]Contribution by ~ Engetsu[/u] Oh my God, I love Engetsu for opening up my eyes to this piece, and this OST in general. The composition is my favorite of the bunch, because it sounds so moving and sad. Simplistic, melodious tracks with lyrical lines often have huge emotional impacts when played correctly. This track brings back vibes of Aerith's Theme and the like. [/spoiler] [spoiler=17] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USS-MUxvvls"][b]Shining Dew[/b][/url] - Tales of Symphonia [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] WHOOOOOOO. I'm always up for some Tales music, and this piece stood out to me from the awesome tracks I've heard... in a different way. It's not fast-paced or frenzied, but it is beautiful, like Chill said. The melody is very present, and the track itself is very ambient. If you want to relax, this is the piece to listen to. ^^ [/spoiler] [spoiler=18] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoyLvhCa0k4&"][b]Quatera Woods[/b][/url] - Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim [u]Contribution by ~ DSS[/u] What a song to welcome me back with! I simply fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It's whimsical and dramatic in a simultaneous fashion, and made me think of faraway lands. The piece is a bit odd for overworld music, but the melody is astoundingly catchy and there is no doubt I'll be humming this later. Thank you, DSS! [/spoiler] [spoiler=19] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr3zW2hR3TQ"][b]Sylvarant[/b][/url] - Tales of Symphonia [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] I'm always up for more Tales music, and ZeroChill hasplenty. I love this one that he suggested in particular, as I find it both soothing and somewhat majestic. The tranquility of the piece is emitted perfectly through the airy tones of the instrumentation, and there is no doubt that this piece is another gem in the Tales library. [/spoiler] [spoiler=20] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3_Be1hTKYs"][b]Repose of Souls[/b][/url] - Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] I don't think this VGMS has any FE music in it, which is simply criminal. The opening to this song was both refreshing and eerie, and it set the stage for the beautiful orchestration that was about to come. I feel a great sense of calm while listening to this piece, as if I'm walking through a graveyard. Creepy, eerie, and simply amazing. I need to listen to more Fire Emblem. [/spoiler] [spoiler=21] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tH4f8ifgkE"][b]Thermosphere[/b][/url] - Einhander [u]Contribution by ~ King Crouton[/u] The first VGM King Crouton lent to me was a doozy. I was barely twenty seconds in and I was already finding the backbeat insanely catchy. At :45 the piece surprised me with a well-placed electric piano. At 2:30, the piece takes on a more ambient feel but never loses that sense of rhythm. Take a listen! [/spoiler] [spoiler=22] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMJ9tqBcMPQ&feature=player_embedded"][b]Thermosphere[/b][/url] - Einhander [u]Contribution by ~ Sabotage[/u] I thank Mako for his awesome piece that he found. This was my first taste of Starfox Assault music, and it failed to disappoint. I like this song in particular, the heavy bassline and the airy violin melody just really sound catchy to me... I especially adore the airy feel of the piece! Thank you! [/spoiler] [spoiler=23] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlqON4Dfozg"][b]Route 10[/b][/url] - Pokemon Black/White [u]Contribution by ~ Articuno[/u] I don't remember hearing this song, and I thak Articuno for recommending it! I missed out on a real beauty... the twangy bassline and the reflective melody nail the "look back on all that you've done" aspect of the music. I love the harmonica and the different instruments utilized to create the melody. A deep song this is... take a listen, guys! [/spoiler] [spoiler=24] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzQq3-9nhKA"][b]Blue Radiance[/b][/url] - Radiant Historia [u]Contribution by ~ Zegram Ghart[/u] Engetsu has been sending me beautiful tunes from this game via PM, and I am really grateful for him and his taste in VGM. Here we have another beauty from an RPG game. The track is fully orchestrated, and drives you on with a flute and a powerful brass and strings section. This song makes you feel as if you can do anything... a great motivator, if you will! Take a listen! [/spoiler] [spoiler=25] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB9mBmG7Etg&feature=related"][b]Ending Credits[/b][/url] - Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga [u]Contribution by ~ ZombiePigman[/u] This song made me cry when I first beat the game. Beanbean Kingdom was such a hilarious trip, and it was heart-wrenching to see it fly by in a star-studded skyscape. The whimsical tone of this piece underscores how truly lighthearted this game was, but it also makes you think about your past adventure. With soft acousitics, and a carefree whistle, this song found its way into my heart. [/spoiler] [spoiler=26] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5d1rrbNo3o"][b]Venus Lighthouse[/b][/url] - Golden Sun [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] Alright, I've decided to appease Zero by putting some of Golden Sun's ahhhh-mazing OST on here. Venus Lighthouse is a personal favorite. I love how it has an epic feel... especially considering that it utilized GBA hardware. The violin sound flows beautifully. Hell, the entire soundtrack is very well done. Take a listen, you won't be disappointed! [/spoiler] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center][spoiler=27] [b]Smooth Jazz - Portal 2 [u]Contribution by ~ Antagonistic Crocodile Beta [/u][/b] [/center][/center] [center][center] [b]YESSSSS. Thank you for bringing some jazz into this station, thank you so much. The piece plays out just as the title suggests. Syrupy sax and a calm free-flowing beat dominate this song. I simply love it... if you are a fan of jazz, this is a must-listen! Going on my iPod... [/spoiler] [b]Tune Nostalgia[/b] [spoiler=1] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RtLhXibDfA"][b]Underworld Theme[/b][/url] - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island [u]Contribution by ~ ChilledFlames[/u] This song brings back memories of flattening stumps and Needle Noses with Chomp Rocks and exploring Yoshi's crystal caverns. I believe that this music really evokes the emotions that a cave is supposed to bring out. It has a mellow melody, along with a mournful whistle that exemplifies loneliness and peace. The lilting baseline almost makes me want to drift off to sl- OH MY GOD A BANDIT. >< Thanks, Chilled! [/spoiler] [spoiler=2] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwpLSiplyYc"][b]Zero Two[/b][/url] - Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards [u]Contribution by ~ Jord200[/u] Please forgive me if this song was in any of the previous video game music stations, my memory is a bit hazy. With a track as epic as Zero Two's, however, it deserves to be in this station multiple times. The song kicks you off with a throbbing bassline, then bringing in a somber chorus of driving synth beats. Truly epic music for a truly epic boss. [/spoiler] [spoiler=3] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K1rV9kFs6I"][b]Hydrocity Zone Act 1[/b][/url] - Sonic 3 [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] I swear, ZeroChill is getting to be a pro at finding old music that will appeal to me. This is one of the most jazzy Sonic pieces I've heard in a long time, and it, just for a moment, lifts the Genesis above the NES in terms of sound quality. A twangy bass line fills in the gaps as the melody takes off. Makes me want to dance! [/spoiler] [spoiler=4] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymM6MIzLxgw"][b]Smithy Battle[/b][/url] - Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars [u]Contribution by ~ Jord200[/u] This tune is an instant classic to me. It's perfect for an end boss... driving beats promote quick thinking and a dark overtone has you on the edge of your seat. I can definitely some Castlevania influences in this track, such as the organ line. In a game with not so pretty graphics, Seven Stars really shines in the soundtrack department. Thank you, Jord. [/spoiler] [spoiler=5] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-tIUtrpWso"][b]Theme of Imakuni[/b][/url] - Pokemon Trading Card Game [u]Contribution by ~ TheComposer[/u] This track is noisy, grating, and discordant. But that is why I love it so much. This piece showcases Imakuni's Duel perfectly, a quirky battle between you and the flippant Japanese pop icon. He may be easy to beat, but I found myself stalling for a few turns just to listen to this track. It's so beautifully odd! [/spoiler] [spoiler=6] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDX4ZwUeOok"][b]Song of Healing[/b][/url] - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask [u]Contribution by ~ The Happy Mask Salesman[/u] One thing that the previous stations were lack was this piece, the emotive and flowing Song of Healing. (Correct me if I'm wrong!) This song is easily one of the more moving tracks in the Zelda timeline. The N64's trademark synthesizer hums lightly in the background while clear-cut piano plays somberly as the melody? Yes, please. Thank you, Dane. Please stop changing your name. D: [/spoiler] [spoiler=7] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRX_2WfL4Do"][b]Darkmoon Caverns[/b][/url] - Diddy Kong Racing [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] One world to describe this piece is... [i]chill[/i]. *shot* The beat keeps you moving forward, but the jazzy organs and the synth relax you and make you calmer during your sojourn through the Darkmoon Caverns. Highly infectious beat here, and an even more contagious melody... this is top-tier racing VGM.

I found this main theme so damn catchy... it's jazzy and packed with riffs that will make your ears explode with happiness. I love the pitch- bending on a couple of the notes, and I daresay you give this song a listen. ;D [/spoiler] [spoiler=9] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WjMytgvcus"][b]Fight Against an Armed Boss[/b][/url] - Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars [u]Contribution by ~ Dark[/u] I know I have a lot of SMRPG tracks in the station already, but I simply could not reject this classic. It has a bouncy, yet dark beat. This composition is typical of most Mario tracks: it's simplistic, and fun-sounding. And, like most Mario tracks, it gets stuck in your head. I'm going to be humming this for the rest of the night. [/spoiler] [spoiler=10] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBH0orRDkjw"][b]Overworld[/b][/url] - Terranigma [u]Contribution by ~ DSS[/u] I personally love the Terranigma OST, and that was going to be the new featured game this week! I don't understand why this game is so underrated, but in the age of console RPGs, the music definitely stands out. Take the Overworld Theme, it's flowing and yet authoritative. Don't forget that you're on a quest! I highly recommend you check out more of this OST, I really do. [/spoiler] [spoiler=11] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D20dF5Ao1mE"][b]Kraken of the Sea[/b][/url] - EarthBound [u]Contribution by ~ ZombiePigman[/u] My heart aches for EarthBound music, and I thank my good man BrickFist for posting one of my favorites. Kraken of the Sea is a perfect example of the entire OST: the beat is quirky, erratic, and catchy. Although I found the EB soundtrack lacking in some regards, this track definitely caught my attention. [/spoiler] [spoiler=12] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuS1jWtoi6c"][b]Metallic Madness Zone (Bad Future)[/b][/url] - Sonic CD [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] ZeroChill is awesome to go to for nostalgic music, and he doesn't break pace here. I find this piece odd, but simply catchy, with CD-backed sound and a down-to-earth bassline, this tune really lets you know that you've screwed up the zone. Apparently, there are other versions of this song... you can ask Chill about that! [/spoiler] [spoiler=13] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmsZyC0UXUU"][b]Forest Temple[/b][/url] - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time [u]Contribution by ~ Jord200[/u] I really love this piece. So relaxing and nostalgic, yet so discordant at the same time, this piece used to lull me to sleep (it happened once, in front of the TV! xD) and my eyelids get heavy just listening to it. Not that it's boring, I just really find this composition soothing... zzzz.... [/spoiler] [spoiler=14] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7bV7hxXiPs"][b]Gato Song[/b][/url] - Chrono Trigger [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] Though short, I think this station needs more Chrono Trigger music. I find that this song contains the flippant charm of one of the game's first battles... in which you beat the stuffing out of a metallic cat. The thumping bass drum in combination with the melodious saxophone makes for a great track! [/spoiler] [spoiler=15] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSsfjHCFosw&feature=player_embedded"][b]At Doom's Gate[/b][/url] - DOOM [u]Contribution by ~ TheBigCheese[/u] YES. Finally some Doom music! I really love the track that TheBigCheese suggested as well. DOOM was a pioneer for the first-person shooter genre, and the score for the game did not disappoint. In this track, a ripping guitar line keeps things intense while a drum hammers away in the background. Perfect music for killing, am I right? You won't be disappointed if you decide to take a listen. [/spoiler] [spoiler=16] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpsN14TFy90"][b]Main Theme[/b][/url] - Monty on the Run [u]Contribution by ~ ZombiePigman[/u] Rob Hubbard nailed this track. I was absolutely blown away when I first heard it... I never expected anything to sound THIS good on the freaking Commodore 64! This is a full blown arrangement in the age of bleeps and bloops, and I love it. The main theme is impossibly catchy, and this song even has a mini "guitar" solo. I love this driving beat... run, Monty, run! [/spoiler] [spoiler=17] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFKtYCcMWT4"][b]Dr. Wily Stage 1/2[/b][/url] - Mega Man 2 [u]Contribution by ~ TheComposer[/u] Haha,this one is a classic. Composer finally had the guts to call it, so here it is. This track is one of the best-known VGMs to ever exist. It's relentless beat and whiny square sound make for instant classic material. In fact, I do believe that this song was one of the first VGMs I listened to. It's an oldie but goodie. Sit back and listen, you're in the presence of a legend!

I love the repeating beat in the background as it keeps the tempo of the piece hectic, yet calm at the same time. The instrumental choice is brilliant, and this is another gold contribution from DSS! [/spoiler] [b]Warning! Challenger Approaching![/b] [spoiler=1] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6qe7Q3nafg"][b]Ghetsis Battle[/b][/url] - Pokemon Black/White [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] I love this song, and I thank Shradow for suggesting it. This track has a remarkable and unique beat for Pokemon boss battles. Replacing fanfares of trumpets and electronic beeps, the percussion dominates almost the entire song. When the melody breaks in at 1:33, it evoked memories of SMW's Ghost House and genuinely freaked me out. This is beautiful, creepy music for a creepy boss. THAT'S RIGHT, GHETSIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND WILL BE MY WIFE. D< [/spoiler] [spoiler=2] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuhqoZvyntA"][b]Miror B. Battle[/b][/url] - Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness [u]Contribution by ~ Nastasia[/u] I think I'll stop dancing for just one second to write a review of this track. Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD have terribly underrated soundtracks, so it's nice to see that Nastasia has good taste. This beat is grooving right from the beginning, with a chunky bassline and swinging guitar. I don't know why, but it reminds me of Michael Jackson's creations. I really wish my Pokemon would stop dancing long enough to battle. D: [/spoiler] [spoiler=3] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3yxTbkh5s"][b]The Sun Rises[/b][/url] - Okami [u]Contribution by ~ Dark[/u] One of the greatest crimes of the first two VGM stations was that they were missing this track, even though I suggested it multiple times. D< Thanks to Dark for finally contributing this vastly underrated piece in a vastly underrated game. Okami's music is all beautiful, but this music stands out as my favorite from the game. This is it, the final boss theme. And yet, it doesn't feel like a boss theme, more like a reflection on your journey and what you're fighting for: the restoration of the sun. The flute line is mournful, the bass line is charging, and the Japanese twangs of eloquent instruments is always present. We have a winner right here. [/spoiler] [spoiler=4] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmz7XUtx8ns"][b]The Wilderness of Sadness[/b][/url] - Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] Tales of Symphonia has undoubtedly one of the most overlooked soundtracks of all time. That's a shame, because every theme is awesome, and the one that Shradow picked happens to be my favorite. It has a driving beat, while fully orchestrated trumpets and horns blare out, voicing your determination to win the fight. Truly inspirational, indeed. [/spoiler] [spoiler=5] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-EKQp4Hedk"][b]It is Finished[/b][/url] - Mother 3 [u]Contribution by ~ Mikhail Tal[/u] Finally, some Mother music in here. This song may seem out of place on WCA, but I can assure you that this is indeed the accompanying track to the best boss battle I have ever fought. The airy tone of the Love Theme followed by various variations of it make this track truly somber and moving. The circumstances under which you fight this boss battle are indescribable. Check out a walkthrough if you really want to see what I think was the best battle of all time. You'll forgive your hasty brother, won't you? [/spoiler] [spoiler=6] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY7aRxosb8M"][b]On Glory's Wings[/b][/url] - Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] This track is short but packed with powerful meaning. Like all other great Fire Emblem orchestrations, this track drives you while successfully utilizing all of the instruments it is allowed. When this piece started, I could barely keep my focus... there was so much going on! The violins were humming, the drums were thumping in the background... I almost had a seizure of epic proportions. And I can't wait to hit "repeat". [/spoiler] [spoiler=7] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DWzLMC9KiM"][b]Elder Princess Shroob Battle[/b][/url] - Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] Couldn't you imagine a full-scale orchestra playing this track? I still can't believe that the Nintendo DS can contain this quality of music. This piece has two distinct movements, one that is scary and epic, and the other is soft and lilting. When the timpani hits you, I guarantee that you'll fall in love with this piece. Granted, it doesn't sound like final boss music to me, but whatever. The Mario and Luigi series scores another stunning hit. [/spoiler] [spoiler=8] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TScDYf3uwoQ&feature=related"][b]Under Heaven Destruction[/b][/url] - BlazBlue [u]Contribution by ~ Engetsu[/u] I've always had a soft spot for BlazBlue tunes, and this track just reignited the fires of passion from within my soul. The shredding guitar stole my heart at 1:23 and continued to make love to me throughout the song. Seriously, this song grabs you by the throat and doesn't let you go. I think that I need to listen to some more BlazBlue after hearing this, and you should too! [/spoiler] [spoiler=9] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eKK3CZPKac"][b]Final Boss[/b][/url] - Banjo-Kazooie [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] This is some sweet music right here. Over-the-top horns and generally silly instruments maintain BK's lighthearted tone, but it still manages to convey weight behind its final track, the end boss theme. Discord and precise repetitions of mysterious beats make this track an absolute blast to listen to! [/spoiler] [spoiler=10] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JFamx6nJ3A&feature=related"][b]Puzzle Battle[/b][/url] - Professor Layton and the Unwound Future [u]Contribution by ~ Happy Mask Salesman[/u] This track begins with a grating bassline and a serenading melodic line. All in all, this song manages to capture the "classical" feel of most Layton music, and both relaxes you and drives you forward. Don't forget, you're in a battle, right? Layton music is sadly underrated, and I thank Dane for suggesting it. [/spoiler] [spoiler=11] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qynL9nrceKM"][b]Koopa Krush (Big Bowser Final Battle)[/b][/url] - Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] This track grabs you right from the start. A ripping melody and all sorts of major Paper Mario style sound shenanigans make this song an instant classic, in my but. A constantly glissing bassline adds to the tension of the piece, and the melody is bouncy and surprisingly quite [i]fun[/i]. Excellent suggestion, thank you ZeroChill! [/spoiler] [spoiler=12] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWWdQnKF6zY"][b]Magnus von Grapple[/b][/url] - Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door [u]Contribution by ~ Jord200[/u] TTYD is beginning to dominate this station, and for good reason. The theme of Crump is bouncy, catchy and enjoyable to listen to: the trademarks of any Paper Mario boss music. This track manages to sound driving and serious... and fun at the same time. Props to Intelligent Systems for mixing the right kind of VGM brew. [/spoiler] [spoiler=13] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey4JY8aox4E"][b]Masked Dedede Battle[/b][/url] - Kirby Superstar Ultra [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] Best. Mix. of. Dedede's. Theme. Ever. Seriously, this track really grabs you right from the start. Its rippling bassline assures you that this is no ordinary VGM... and when the official Dedede theme kicks in... oh, god. That is pure VGM excellence right there. Thank you for selecting this, Shradow. Thank you so much. [/spoiler] [spoiler=14] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSnMHD9GVyQ"][b]Hybrid[/b][/url] - The World Ends With You [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] This battle theme grabs you and pulls you in with its catchy beat and lyrics. This is one of my favorites for TWEWY, and I'm glad that Shradow decided to throw it on his list. I always find it surprising that the DS can hold such a full-length and detailed song! The feel is driving and intense... take a listen! [/spoiler] [spoiler=15] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nXXtYKRevI"][b]Theme of Mima[/b][/url] - Touhou 3 [u]Contribution by ~ Jord200[/u] This theme has a decidedly "old-school" feel to it. I think this is what would happen if Ninja Gaiden's OST clashed with modern bass. The instrumental choices in this theme are awesome, and as always, the driving beat rockets you onwards. I love the organ sounds and the retro electronic background. Thank you, Jord. This sure is catchy. ^^ [/spoiler] [spoiler=16] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PCVlaGcJNg"][b]Theme of Fatalis[/b][/url] - Monster Hunter [u]Contribution by ~ Hiyama Kiyoteru[/u] This is my kind of music. Epic orchestration and badass backup vocals underscore a hard-hitting and perfect "boss theme". This song slams you with heavy chords, and manages to make you feel larger than life. Another marvel of modern orchestration, without a doubt. ^^ [/spoiler] [spoiler=17] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uehFijXHMgI"][b]Keep Your Guard Up![/b][/url] - Tales of Symphonia [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] Hey, I don't have a problem with Tales music at all. A lot of it deserves to be here, especially this piece! When ZeroChill selected this personal favorite, I mentally high-fived him and grinned. I just absolutely adore ToS's full orchestration sound... and the way it makes classical instruments sound epic! A shout out to all the oboe players here! [/spoiler] [spoiler=18] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opWCkrJzcMw"][b]Multi-Man Melee![/b][/url] - Super Smash Bros. Melee [u]Contribution by ~ Jord200[/u] I personally think SSBM has one of the most overlooked soundtracks ever. You don't see anybody ever mention this beauty that Jord dug up, for example. A piece like this needs to be good, because you're listening to it for fifteen minutes in order to get Marth! (or was it Falco?) I love the guitar licks in here and the high-voltage intensity. Simply smashing! [/spoiler] [spoiler=19] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlynaW75_sQ"][b]A Hard Fight and then Hope[/b][/url] - Odin Sphere [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] The music from Odin Sphere is marvelous. I can see why Shradow and DSS are such avid fans of its soundtrack! This track really caught my eye (er, ear).It contains flighty discord in the melody, with fluttering flutes, and then it breaks the song open with a hearty brass section, which powers the rest of this excellent and dramatic melody. Thank you for sharing! [/spoiler] [spoiler=20] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyOeBnLufHw"][b]Battle Theme 2[/b][/url] - Digimon World Dusk/Dawn [u]Contribution by ~ DSS[/u] DSS always finds the hidden gems of the VGM world. I would have never guessed that this game had any good music, but here it is! It's a short piece, but I love the drumbeat and the way it sounds like Pokemon music. The melodious synth trumpet makes for an interesting contrast to the heavy beat, as well! [/spoiler] [spoiler=21] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbz8ux-YpuE"][b]Diva[/b][/url] - Guilty Gear 2 Overture [u]Contribution by ~ Kokonoe[/u] Lily has always supplied me with great music over MSN, and this track caught me like none other. I love the opera-esque intro, and how the piece descends into soul-shredding guitar. However, there is still an epic melody... hell, the entire piece is an epic, in-your-face, non-stop beat. I simply love it, and I hope you will too! Thank you, Lily. ^^ [/spoiler] [spoiler=21] [b][b][b][b]Theme of Arceus - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl [u]Contribution by ~ Jord200[/u][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [b][b][b][b]This track is jarring, and sort of reminds me of Ghetsis's theme for its heavy reliance on percussion. I find the jarring sound gaps to be completely refreshing, and suitable for Pokemon's supposed "god". This is perfect music to battle to, and I thank Jord for suggesting it!

The original mix of Bloody Tears was epic, but with a full orchestra and modern driving beat behind it, it becomes fantastic. The tune brings back nostalgic memories while still maintaining that modern edge. Thank you for recommending this, Saturn. ^^ You can find the original [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjazC45Qkww&feature=related"]here[/url]. [/spoiler] [spoiler=2] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM-3a_0LkXM"][b]Ecruteak City (Piano)[/b][/url] - Pokemon Gold/Silver [u]Contribution by ~ Dark[/u] I have a personal bias towards the selection of this track. Take a listen, and I'm sure you will too. This song captivated from the start with graceful, flowing dynamics and keystrokes. It brings justice to the ancient heritage of Ecruteak, sounding mystical and relaxing. I commend kamotakukamo for pumping out such a beautiful melody, and I recommend checking out his other tracks. [/spoiler] [spoiler=3] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed3-hNUbCQo"][b]Athletic (Ragtime Remix)[/b][/url] - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island [u]Contribution by ~ Mikhail Tal[/u] Alfred, I love you for suggesting this track. Up until now, it never even occurred to me to look for remixes of Yoshi's Island tunes, and I deeply thank you for bringing this track to light. I'm a huge sucker for any sort of catchy ragtime, and this arrangement bottles up the peppy feelings of the original theme and compresses it into a simplified piano. Definitely worth a listen, and I'll give a reward to anybody here that can play this. [/spoiler] [spoiler=4] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcxMzWvG-jA"][b]Beware the Forest Mushrooms![/b][/url] - Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] The original track is excellent, and this unused track from Brawl is sorely missing some much-needed limelight. From the moment the "nature noises" kicked in, I knew I was in for a treat. And I was. Where else could you find Beware the Forest Mushrooms remastered for console use [i]and[/i] for Brawl? Shradow did, and I thank him deeply. Enjoy! [/spoiler] [spoiler=5] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9tL1p9YbGk"][b]Spear Pillar[/b][/url] - Super Smash Bros. Brawl [u]Contribution by ~ Shradow[/u] The amazing quality of the SSBB soundtrack is put on display with every piece played. Thankfully, Shradow recommended this piece to me, which happens to be one of my favorites from the game. The piano is frenzied and adds a nice change to the hum of guitars one usually hears on the stage. If you haven't heard this track already, I definitely recommend a listen.

It's about time we got some Touhou VGM up in here! Night of Nights replaces the flow of Flowering Nights with an electronic beat and a sweet bassline. I love the part that kicks in at 1:09, and who doesn't love the key change at 2:32? Props to the mixers, this is one amazing track. [/spoiler] [spoiler=8] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkZFLCxS2Ik"][b]National Park[/b][/url] - Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver [u]Contribution by ~ Mikhail Tal[/u] I personally love this track, and I thank Mikhail Tal for suggesting it. Some of the best piano sound in Pokemon lies in this song, and if you think I'm wrong, just listen. The synth pad provides a calm and different tone to the flowing melody. Definitely a step up from National Park in Gold/Silver, and a step up for Pokemon VGM in general!

Another wonderful track was submitted... this one with a somber, yet danceable groove. It certainly is very ambient... and strangely relaxing.

Homestuck is technically a game of sorts, so I'm including it. It has a jazzy retro feel, and it bumps retro music up one level.

The piece has somewhat of a frenetic and scrambling rhythm that I found to be "head-bob" inducing.

I absolutely love this piece... in typical Tales fashion, it's upbeat, driving, and showcases the best that modern instrumentation has to offer. The synthesizer is out of this world, and the guitar solos just keep coming! I think I even heard a violin in there. Not joking.

His latest find is none other than "Zeal Love", which happens to be a favorite of mine as well. Chrono Trigger had excellent music, and this remix lives up to the standards of the original. I don't know how, but I find this song to be deeply moving. The synth and dramatic piano get to me... hey, I even cried a little. Don't judge me.

[/spoiler] [b]Different Voices[/b] [spoiler=1] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdLTC9Wb_74"][b]Staff Roll[/b][/url] - Super Mario 64 [u]Contribution by ~ Dark[/u] [quote='Dark'] If you have been around long enough to see the first TVGMS, you'll know how much I love this song. Super Mario 64 was one of my favorite games for the Nintendo 64, and this song just had such a bittersweet tone to it. On one end, the tone is extremely happy because you've beaten the game. You have beat Bowser, saved the Princess, and restored peace to the castle. However, if you have played this game like I have, you'll understand what emotion this song ellicits. Particularly around 0:55, the song takes a really sad tone, almost as if it were an underwater theme to some game. This part of the song really shows more of a hopeful tone, but that does not detract from the extreme sadness I hear in it. And all throughout the song, it is building up to a climax which is released in the last few seconds of the song, 3:02 and onwards, and it just brings utter sadness to the player that the game is now over. I still get chills when I hear that song, and I feel that Koji Kondo composed a beautiful Credits theme for a beautiful game. It was a memorable song from an amazing game, almost rivaling Dire, Dire Docks in terms of that classic impulse. [/quote] Wow, who can beat Dark at his VGM reviews? I can tell that this song means a lot to him, and for good reason. SM64 was one hell of a ride, and to see that ride come to an end is painful. Nintendo scores an ace in the hole with this track, which evokes happy memories while pulling your heart out of your chest. If you have played this game, you would know how emotive this composition is. It retains that classic N64 style, a jazzy electric piano and a depressing overtone signifying the end of a long journey. I started tearing up at 2:32.

The sweet, high flute line is so calming and is aided by the gentle shimmering notes in the backing. 0:00 to 0:25 is so pleasing and satisfyingly soothing. Then, about 0:28 or 0:29, a musical feature so typical of ÅŒkami - adding a deeper and fuller element to it. Then, from there on is a nostalgic and smooth flow of euphoric notes with the occasional howl from a wolf and I can't help but think back to when Ammy did her first victory howl. The melody smoothly transposes every so often into minor, the hint of sadness un-mistakable in the piece. The classic taiko drums and shamisen that defines Japanese music adds such a powerful backbone to this piece, it's brilliant. The main difference from this is something in the melody. The element is hard to put your finger on but it's a little different from the rest of the soundtrack. But it's so unbelievably beautiful, that I can't ignore it, especially coming from one of the most under-appreciated games of the past few years. On another note, try the ÅŒkami Piano Arrange version, it really captures the more nostalgic, weepy hints in it. [/quote] I deeply thank Cursed Reaction for his deep review, and I agree with every single point he's made. This track moved me like no other track has ever moved me. It's one of those pieces that not only is beautiful, it makes you think about your life and about yourself. While listening to this piece, I was filled with sadness, but also immense joy and happiness. This is Okami music at its finest, and possibly one of the greatest pieces ever composed. [/spoiler] [spoiler=3] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8voBHwy3PkM"][b]Culex Battle[/b][/url] - Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars [u]Contribution by ~ Dark[/u] [quote name='Dark' timestamp='1301512904' post='5100598'] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8voBHwy3PkM"]Culex Battle from Super Mario RPG[/url] Let's get some [b]d[/b]e[b]v[/b]iation up in here, literally. Upon first hearing this song, if you've ever played SMRPG before, you'll realize the music is not anything like any of the other themes. [i]Hello, Happy Kingdom[/i] or [i]Beware the Forest Mushrooms[/i] sounds nothing like this, it lacks any dramatic impulse, it lacks any sense of urgency or difficulty. Tracks like those have a happy or mysterious overtone, as do all of the other tracks in the game. This track, however, was most obviously "borrowed" from a Final Fantasy game that came out, oh I don't know, at about the same time. No matter, this track is still amazing. I find it interesting that they'd change the style of music just for one track, but seeing how fast-paced the Culex battle really is, I find that this track suits the boss very well. The first 15 seconds of the song carry all of the emotion with them. I find the bridge loop (0:34 - 1:04) is probably the worst part of the song considering it just doesn't carry the emotion you get from the rest of the track. It is still a well-composed piece, and although it takes on a Final Fantasy theme with the composition and instruments, it still sounds amazing. Culex, you must have banged one of the sound programmers to get this track for yourself. [/quote] I completely agree with everything that Dark has said here. The Culex Battle Theme is my favorite track in this game, besides Sad Song and Forest Maze. Squeenix obviously got lazy composing this track, as it blatantly ripped off Final Fantasy IV's Boss Theme... but the result is beautiful. This song fits the mood, and drives you to finally vanquish Culex. The synth and heavy bass never leave your side, and the result is a truly inspiring (though copied) track. [/spoiler] [spoiler=4] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyDZscyf8lU"][b]Never Forget[/b][/url] - Halo 3 [u]Contribution by ~ Sabotage[/u] [quote name='Sabotage' timestamp='1301514376' post='5100687'] Since I'm here... Have you ever played Reach? I doubt it. But still, it's an amazing game. It has a ton of epic soundtrack, many of which would be a fitting contribution to this station. But I feel that the Reach soundtrack is missing something. Something that was ever present in Halo 3 and most of its predecessors. I like to call it Hold Music (Made up on the spot xD). This is the type of song that will take a grip on you, keeping you from leaving a game. If I finished a game in Reach, and I go to the menu, I would have no problem switching to a different game or turing off the console. But with 3, it was a different story. I would back out to the menu with all intentions of turning it off or switching. But I would find myself unable to do this. I would just sit there, staring at the menu, absorbed by the music playing in the background. Eventually, I would turn around and play some more. This type of soundtrack is as important as anything else you could put in a game. It's the type of music that keeps people coming back for more. It's a beautiful piece, with several heart wrenching piano parts. In fact, I listened to it the other day, and it was enough to make me pop back in Halo 3. If a song is able to do that...it is as good as you could get with a Hold song. And, for the record, I did not write this because Dark wrote something long. I just wanted to add it, and I thought I would give a few thoughts. Unexpected wall of text was unexpected. [/quote] I thank Sabotage for the deep review, and the epic track. This title theme is undoubtedly responsible for many Haloite's lack of sleep. It manages to relax you and keep you hooked in the game for hours. When my friend first showed me this game, I just wanted to get back to the title screen, where I could listen to this somber track, its somber piano interludes, and its silky violins. An excellent track, and a benchmark of modern VGM. [/spoiler] [spoiler=5] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BPoJ4hiAkU"][b]Deepest Woods[/b][/url] - Tales of Symphonia [u]Contribution by ~ ZeroChill[/u] [quote name='ZeroChill' timestamp='1301683118' post='5105016'] Can you listen to it? Can you listen to the emotion played? This music is probably one of the most saddest musics in the game (and there were many poignant musics in this game). When you first listen to this theme, it starts off at a melancholic note provided with a flute. The instruments in this composition are ominously played as though the location is associated with many bad omens. If you also take into account that this is not only Presea's (the member of your group who had the most traumatizing past) hometown, a place in where discrimination against Half-Elves is intense and that it was destroyed for it's beliefs, it makes sense at how a theme could emanate so much sadness. This is one theme that really makes emotion run through my head every time I listen to it. [/quote] I can plainly hear the emotion running through this piece and I deeply thank Chill for suggesting this track. The delicacy of this composition is amazing and really moves your heartstrings in the process. The bassline is riveting, and the melody seems to call out to you in a sorrowful song. [/spoiler] [spoiler=6] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhHocGjORK8"][b]Twilight over Thanalan[/b][/url] - Final Fantasy XIV [u]Contribution by ~ Dark[/u] [quote=Dark] To be honest, I would have never known about this song without good old Twig, and I fell in love the second I heard it. It seems kind of typical that I'd review a sad song, but this is one of the few gems in the entire Final Fantasy XIV OST. I am not really sure where this theme is used (based on the video title, it seems like either a field theme or a cutscene), but this music is suitable for literally any sad or cutscene situation in any game. One thing that really seperates this track from other sad tunes is definitely the cymbals. First heard at 0:26, it really shows that this song can be as dramatic as it is sad. You don't really think of tense and dramatic not going together, but this song exemplifies how something can be extremely dramatic without necessarily being tense. This song was just beautifully composed, and Nobuo should die before he even thinks about leaving the Final Fantasy franchise. If you have never been interested in this main-stream, overrated Final Fantasy music, I suggest you listen to this track to divert you from all the lies surrounding Final Fantasy music. It really is as good as people say, and this is proof enough. [/quote] [/spoiler] [spoiler=7] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTZ8uhJ5hIE"][b]Butter Building[/b][/url] - Kirby's Epic Yarn [u]Contribution by ~ Dark[/u] [quote=Dark] Butter Building is one of the staples of Kirby games, and I was so extremely excited when I heard the last level in Epic Yarn was a throwback level that included remakes of Green Greens, Gourmet Race, and yes, even Butter Building got some love. This is one of the most catchy songs of the entire franchise, and when I first heard it played in Nightmare in Dream Land, I was hooked. If you don't already know, [i]Dark lurv da pianuh[/i], so hearing a piano arrangement of one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite franchises from my favorite video game company really made me burst with happiness on the inside. This song, emotionally, is pretty stale, however. It has a happy overtone, but that's really it. The original took a really adventurous theme, especially considering the situation in the game that it was in. This was kind of laid-back, and while it wasn't terribly-composed, it feels like it is lacking an integral part of Kirby music. I guess I felt that way with the entirely piano (or almost entirely) soundtrack of Epic Yarn, but I still stand by my opinion that this is in the top three for the the entire Epic Yarn soundtrack. Butter Building has always been a great song, and this remake is no exception. [/quote] Oh my God, I'm in love with all the throwback Kirby tunes. I agree with Dark completely when he says that it doesn't feel like typical Kirby music, but at the same time... I can't help but feel cheerful when I listen to this track. This composition embodies the soul of Epic Yarn: its bright colors, its childish premise... To back the style up with this music, now there's talent. I love it! [/spoiler] [spoiler=8] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P2HNic7JjI"][b]Farewell Hyrule King[/b][/url] - Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker [u]Contribution by ~ Mikhail Tal[/u] [quote=b] Piano music always commands a certain depressing edge in video game music. This piece is an absolute archetype, the perfect example of emotional piano music in video games. But it is deeper than that. This piece isn't sad. It's depressing, morbid, grim and stark. It really captures the multitude of emotions that run high throughout the end of Wind Waker - the strife of the Hyrule King's decision, the magnitude of the flood, the horror of being incarcerated under the oceans until the end of time. It is a twisted, dark piece, one that also happens to be beautiful. [/quote] I can't really phrase it as well as Mikhail Tail did, but this piece is heartrending and very beautiful. With all of the fancy advancements in VGM today, nothing feels as refreshing as a simple piano track with a beautiful melody and a somber presence. It's pieces like these that move fervid video game players to tears. [/spoiler] [spoiler=9] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVGcmV3g560"][b]Surfing[/b][/url] - Pokemon Gold/Silver [u]Contribution by ~ Mikhail Tal[/u] [quote=b] In terms of melodic content, I can't think of many pieces that beat the simple, perfectly executed beauty of this melody. Go Ichinose is a genius. This for me is the purest, most perfectly distilled kick of nostalgia I ever get. Every time I listen to this, I am warped back to my childhood. It's that good. But I don't think that it is just the fact I was a child when I first heard this this that makes it such a good nostalgic piece. It is a simple piece, yet it's simplicity somehow commands a sort of majesty. It's beautiful. I think that is probably the only word that can describe this piece and still do it justice. It is masterfully composed and gives me a shot of joy every time I listen to it, and that's something that little else can do to me. This is reason the Video Game Music Station exists - to give people a dose of the joy we experienced from our childhoods, right? [/quote] ... This song hit me harder than I thought it would. For one thing, I had forgotten about the beautiful, harmonious melody. For another thing, I forgot how masterful 8-bit composition can be. And one more thing, I clearly underestimated the power of nostalgia. Gold/Silver are my favorite Pokemon games, and to hear that melody after so many years. Wow, I'm tearing up. Geez. Thank you, Alfred. :'D [/spoiler] [spoiler=10] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkAvVqjbUG8&feature=related"][b]Deadman's Gun[/b][/url] - Red Dead Redemption [u]Contribution by ~ MarbleZone[/u] [quote=b] Not a childhood memory, but a memory from a month ago. Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games I can remember playing, and the ending will make you cry manly tears. And also shout in pure anger, but when the dust settles and you come to terms with what just happened, you can't deny that it was the best way to end a game with such a plot. It isn't until the end that you realize how much you bonded with the characters, and watching the last cutscene unfold and credits roll to the sound of this moved me in a way I never thought an Old West setting could. [/quote] I occasionally find that I get caught up in nostalgic music... and I lose sight of the marvels of modern VGM. Having played Red Dead, I know how beautifully moving this track is. We often pay so much attention to the beeps of bloops of the retro age that we forget about tracks like these staring us in the face. I couldn't help but tear up as this song played. Regardless of lyrics, regardless of modernity, this is still VGM. And us listeners should be proud to include it in our genre. [/spoiler] [spoiler=11] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJgFZ9ujlUM"][b]Eterna City (Day)[/b][/url] - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum [u]Contribution by ~ Mikhail Tal[/u] [i]I really think it is a testament to the power of nostalgia, however short-lived, that I cried when I heard this yesterday. It warped me back five years ago, before two of my siblings were born, to a family holiday in France. I sat in the car phoning my Dad frantically telling him I had named a Pokemon in my team after him, all while this played breezily in the background. Exquisite. That one moment remains sealed in my memory. The mellow, wise tones of the piece create instant nostalgia for me, and I don't think anything will ever change that. I hope to one day as an old man find my dusty old DS and a dusty old cartridge, play it for the first time in years and be sent right back to the glory of my childhood. Wonderful.[/i] I always really enjoy reading Alfred's reviews of music, and I thank him for suggesting such a classic tune, in my opinion. The song exudes tranquility, and with the twang of the bassline, I found myself relaxing inside the Name Rater's House. Oops. This track does not disappoint the Pokemon soundtrack by any means. Take a listen. ^^ [/spoiler] [spoiler=12] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cF5lJvSJ6Q"][b]Village Bridge[/b][/url] - Pokemon Black/White [u]Contribution by ~ Hiyama Kiyoteru[/u] [i]This song...is quite special. The traditional style, combined with the "flute", guitar, and the wonderful voice, further blended with a strange, yet fitting addition of beat-boxing, gives this song a truly unique feel like no other. It reminds me of my visits to Korea, where I walked among the various temples, villages...and bridges. And all the while the bustling modern city was around me. There is something about this song that makes one wonder; that makes one pause the game and just simply listen to the song. It could be the tranquility of the song, in which the listener is transported back in time to when traditions meant more back then than they do now, or perhaps it could just be the hypnotic and peaceful effect this song has on people as they listen. Whatever the case, this song means many different things to many different people, and I'm sure they'd all agree. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll get lost in the lyrics now. "Ore wa ne kamome ni horeta tasogare oyaji. Aoi umi o nagamete wa naki, aoi minato wa kamome koishikute," which in English would be: "I...am a geezer standing in the dusk, mesmerized by the gulls. Gazing fixedly into the sapphire sea, I bemoan with shed tears, as I yearn for the lovely gulls soaring above the blue harbor." Without a doubt, this song is absolutely beautiful. [/i] I could not agree more with Hiyama's review. I think that this song is simply beautiful in how simplistic it is. I love that the citizens around the bridge add to the song as you socialize with them. I also love that Kiyoteru provided me with lyrics... I feel like they add extra meaning to the song! [/spoiler] [spoiler=13] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rvFlBjLZVg"][b]Mole Hole[/b][/url] - Kirby's Epic Yarn [u]Contribution by ~ Mikhail Tal[/u] [i]Generally, my recommendations tend to be tinged with an element of melancholy or nostalgia. Hopefully this will buck the trend a tad. This piece is so inherently happy that it has an almost naive quality to it, one that works really well with the game it is in too. Not only it is a very happy piece, but it is also a simple one, a very hummable one. Kirby's Epic Yarn has a soundtrack that is dominated by piano solos, and I encourage you to look them up. [/i] I love this song, and I thank Alfred for the review. Kirby's Epic Yarn has an overall happy feeling to it, but this piece exemplifies that quality. I love the jazz motif that the piano conveys, and I simply adore the simplistic melody and the overall calmness and innocence of the song. Like Alfred said, this song is very hummable, since the melody is compact and simplistic. Thank you for the find! [/spoiler] [spoiler=14] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFf2YBR5P_8"][b]My Dear[/b][/url] - Portal 2 [u]Contribution by ~ Atman[/u] [i]A short song, but one of those tear-jerkers you get so attached to. First you think to yourself "Finally. No more GLaDOS! No more Aperture! No more fat-jokes! It's over." Then the turrets start the aria. It's actually a beautiful opera, albeit written in practically broken Italian. The rough lyrics, however, are basically of calling Chell their beautiful girl and saying goodbye. When the elevator finally reaches the top and you leave, you are in tears wishing it wasn't the end. The main reason I love this is cuz its a beautiful surprise ending that in 1 minute and 20 seconds completely changes the usual ambiance of Aperture. Well, at least imo. XD[/i] This song started off quirky, but I listened on for the goodness that Atman had promised. And suddenly, and beautiful voice rang out... as if this were some new-age opera. I found the sound to be beautiful, for the short duration. And I could definitely see the replay value in this... I wanted to play it again so I could really take in all the melody had to offer. Good find, Atman. ^^ [/spoiler][/b][/b][/b][/b] [/b] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center][b][b][b][b][b][spoiler=15] [b][b][b][b][b][b]Coin Song - Final Fantasy VI [u]Contribution by ~ Mikhail Tal[/u] [i]This is one of those "beautiful" pieces of video game music. I feel that if this had been an ending or epilogue song, if would have got a lot more attention. It's hidden gems like these that the VGMS are supposed to be showcasing, no? When I ran the VGMS, I deliberately added obscure pieces like Ragtime Osohe because they didn't get enough mainstream. This is another case. Anyway, back to the music - the way the piece goes from that single instrument fugue-like chord melody into a more orchestral movement is monumentally beautiful. The choice of chords on part of the composer is truly astounding, rarely do you find a piece as well-composed as this. The lead in the main movement, the oboe/ocarina-sounding instrument, plays a very simple melody, but it is complemented fantastically by the strings in the background. This piece excels both orchestrally and melodically. [/i][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b] [/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center][b][b][b][b][b][b]I love Alfred's detailed music reviews, because they're detailed... and they always come coupled with beautiful music. This piece is no exception. I admit, when I first saw "Coin Song", I thought it was a Mario piece. I was relieved to find that it was in Final Fantasy's impressive repitoire of tunes. This music is calm, moving, and reminds me of Mother 3's emotional ambiance.

Dark Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I love you so much right now. I felt bad after quitting such a long run of the first TVGMS, but I was confident that Mikhail would pick up my slack. He also had an excellent, albeit short, run, but that also eventually died. I am extremely glad that we have such an apt video game music enthusiast such as yourself now running this, and I have no fears about the lifespan of this thread. I am so glad that I implemented the first TVGMS on YCM, and I wish you the best of luck whilst running this thread. It will be a lot of work, no doubt, but you should handle it with no problems. Think about it, this is [b]fun[/b] for you, as it should be for everyone who loves video music. I just cannot perfectly express my joy that you made the third version of this thread, and this will definitely pull me into a bit of activity in the Music subsection. So Opalmoon, get ready to warn me. =P Now that my long intro is over, why don't I post some songs? Oh, wait. Shradow stole all of my Pokemon Black and White music that I was going to post, and I hate him so much for that, seriously. Man, I'm supposed to be the Pokemon video game music master of YCM, but you obviously got here first. I will get my revenge, don't you worry. I will get my revenge. I've never been good at what stations to put songs in, so how about I give you a ton of tracks and hope you do something with 'em? :[b][/b]D [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3yxTbkh5s]The Sun Rises from Okami[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LZuP1vg7h4]The Sun Rises (8-bit Remix) from Okami[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7NJd-Gqda4]Promise from Okami[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsnJRyTlFb0]Ryoshima Plains from Okami[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoovOZdHFQs]Ryoshima Plains (8-bit Remix) from Okami[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LesMzyYrHI]Tsuzurao's Theme from Okami[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2Q2Cn5n0ig]Yamata-No-Orochi's Extermination II from Okami[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veqgfw569tA]Izanagi Cavern from Okamiden[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNOuAq0xJpk]Kurou's Theme from Okamiden[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZiwcWQpej4]Ryoshima Field South from Okamiden[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aljWoEM7l0]Sakuya's Theme from Okamiden[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d30OSJkt7Dc]Protoman's Whistle from Mega Man III[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdWeTin2mho]Flame Man from Mega Man VI[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54jgnb5FMZ4]Knight Man from Mega Man VI[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26q3lASYoiY]Blizzard Man from Mega Man VI[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfdJbaCfXjQ]Butter Building from Kirby's Epic Yarn[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KDCP66W-K0]Green Greens from Kirby's Epic Yarn[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emt0VbR95Zw]Lava Landing from Kirby's Epic Yarn[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QallM2qfiR4]Weird Woods from Kirby's Epic Yarn[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSvplyY6Snw]Gourmet Race from Kirby's Epic Yarn[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYqKSANkcKg]Apt. 102 from Kirby's Epic Yarn[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2bsybeS2yY]Vs.

Super Mario 64 was one of my favorite games for the Nintendo 64, and this song just had such a bittersweet tone to it. On one end, the tone is extremely happy because you've beaten the game. You have beat Bowser, saved the Princess, and restored peace to the castle. However, if you have played this game like I have, you'll understand what emotion this song ellicits. Particularly around 0:55, the song takes a really sad tone, almost as if it were an underwater theme to some game. This part of the song really shows more of a hopeful tone, but that does not detract from the extreme sadness I hear in it. And all throughout the song, it is building up to a climax which is released in the last few seconds of the song, 3:02 and onwards, and it just brings utter sadness to the player that the game is now over. I still get chills when I hear that song, and I feel that Koji Kondo composed a beautiful Credits theme for a beautiful game. It was a memorable song from an amazing game, almost rivaling Dire, Dire Docks in terms of that classic impulse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I apologize for flooding this place with music all at one time (since even when I was owner, I hated when people did that, because then I had to search their posts for the music), but I hope it doesn't matter as it is on the first page. I just need to get some songs down so others don't steal them, because they are songs that really represent me and I would be simply crushed if someone else stole them. Yeah, I'm talking about you, Shradow. Shout-out to Dane right now. Love you, man.

Raine Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Never done this before but think I should submit one of my favorite video game pieces, this song is the essence of the game and I believe it is worth anyone's time.

Lonk Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Your welcome Clair. I also got some more random musics [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqdmn20or8M][Either TN or WCA]Paper Mario 64: Tutankoopa battle[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoUnirmElaA][GEN]Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Lost Labyrinth Zone Act 2[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_epVSjlsEzM][DV]Super Monkey Ball 2: Under the Ocean[/url] No other music can be more fitting to a situation that combines intensity, yet serenity. If you have played Super Monkey Ball 2, you would know the game is pretty challenging, even if you go through 1/4th of the game. It still doesn't negatively affect the quality of the game's music. In fact, it may have actually increased it's quality. Under the Ocean is one of my favorite tracks from the game. It is very fitting to an ocean-themed set of levels and it carries a certain form of ambiance that is beautifully eerie (or eerily beautiful). Whether the the first or the latter is right is debatable, but we all could agree that this music is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehmani Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 One contribution for now. It's just fantastic. One of the finest remixes I've ever heard, and genuinely scary. Other than Lavender Town, this is the most fear-invoking 8-bit track I have ever heard. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiTdavICyd8"]Ghetsis Battle - 8bit Remix[/url].
