Soundtracks. Movie, Videogame, life. - Page 2

I'm on the same level--I love music and like to listen to it while doing things ,but it's impossible for me to write when I've got most anything with lyrics. Thusly, I have a rather huge selection of video game and movie soundtrack music to help me out when the need arises.

There are some great instrumental versions of video game soundtracks out there. I know that the Ace Attorney games have had multiple interpretations of their beautiful music, as well as Super Smash Bros. Melee's thoroughly enjoyable Smashing... Live! The Black Mages are also always rather epic. Persona 4 and The World Ends With You both have good things to look into as is.

Also, pretty much anything from the Homestuck albums serve as great, lyric-free listening fodder. Maybe fractionally less so if you know the comic and can get distracted by remembering how awesome the context for the song is.

Now that I'm thinking about it... Bad Dudes. Not the game, the ground of guys that remix shit. Some of it is iffy or relies on having played the related games, but other stuff is great.

Plus, they did an entire album of nothing but Sagat remixes. That takes balls.

I would highly suggest getting the 2 Donkey Kong OCRemiX albums

Suck it up and go through OC ReMix content. Don't forget to check out Dwelling of Duels, as well. You'll thank yourself down the road when you have tons of fun music.

I myself used to keep up with the site [like five or six years ago...] but now find the date of the most recent submission I have downloaded and kept and peruse/download for hours until I really can't stand it. I do this maybe once a year if I remember. Then I get rid of songs I don't like and keep the rest. It's not a great way to do it, but eh... Effort.

Seconding the following games'/game series' original soundtracks:
Guilty Gear
BlazBlue
Mass Effect
Halo

I would also suggest, if you have access to it, anything by the Black Mages, the various FF soundtracks, orchestral releases, and so forth, as well.

Did someone say FF? Because FF13's battle theme is so good I hum it to myself for a lot of my 2-hour commute home for the weekends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Qo_GhbQt4

Also, I effing love "The Man with the Machine Gun" from FF8's flashback battles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se21KZgT7tY

The soundtracks to Last of the Mohicans and Sunshine are the best I've ever heard. 28 Days Later also had a good one with the real standout being "In the House - In a Heartbeat" (its one of the songs I have on when running bleachers).

It's not videogame or movie music, but I love it, also, lyrics-less

Gotta love that violin solo

This one starts slow, but it get great after a couple minutes

If you like those, you might want o check the entire concert, I go the CD some time ago an I love it

Also, this one's nice

Newgrounds has nice music too.

relaxing stuff

epic stuff

some videogame arranged music

this one's awesome

Also, some videogame music

This one has lyrics, but I don't understand them so, they don't count, right? This one plays right after the last song. It's epic.

Pokeymans

that guy with the pok�ball head has an awesome theme

Paper Mario TTDY has some interesting music too (the other PMs too :P)

Chrono Trigger!

DK64 too

Kirby 64

Cave story has some cool remixes

Oh yeah, I found this one in some NPF thread

Just a little extra Super Paper Mario song for the funsies

Yeah, most of my music hasn't got lyrics, I prefer lyrics-less stuff
