My recomended VGM list

[the shmuper]

I've been listening Game music for the last 15 years, so it's time for some recommendations.

First of all, i'm not a collector, i love VGM, and that's the only kind of music that i like to hear.
second, i'm not going to recommend any well-known soundtrack (so don't ask me why Sonic, Mario or FF OSTs are not on this list)
and third, i've choose a lot of arranged soundtracks for one reason, i think that only there a composer can show what is really capable of.

and,
Ishiwatari and MASA Soundtracks (all of them are Fu%#ing Great!)
AND!,
BeatmaniaII DX Soundtrax of course.

I'm a huge fan of SUPERSWEEP, BASISCAPE, the Procyon Studio, GEM IMPACT, ZUNTATA, the KUKEIHA CLUB, the NAMCO Consumer Software Sound Team (NGBI), Noriyuki Iwadare, Motoi Sakuraba, the SHINSEKAI GAKKYOKU ZATSUGIDAN, S.S.H., III, the S.S.T. BAND, the JDK BAND, etc, and as you can see, i have a weakness for Arrange and multi arrangers/composers albums.

I'll try to update this list as soon as i get something good.

Feel free to recommend me something as well, and to tell me if you agree with me or not.

So, what are you waiting for? start to download!!

Most of these CDs can be found on:

Simon B's [Hidden link. Register to see links.]

* Meanwhile , how can I download soundtracks in your list here ?


Pls reply me , Thanks a lot

[StillAlive1364]

That sure is a big list ^_^ Here are a few of my recommendations:

Perfect Dark - Great techno tracks, and it's different than most stuff out there.

[Hidden link. Register to see links.] - A few 'odd' tracks, but has the techno/trance vibe. Like A Monkey and Like A Robot are two of my favorite tracks from these games

Half-Life 2 and Portal - Great instrumental tracks, plus the 'Still Alive' song from Portal is both hilarious and catchy.

Boom Boom Rocket - An XBL rythm game, BBR features techno, trance and funk songs that you will be instantly addicted to.

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom - Features some really good boss battle music.

Soul Caliber series - Features instrumental 'epic' music. Really, really good

[the shmuper]

StillAlive1364:
I have something againts american game music, but i'll them a try. About the soul series soundtracks, i still have to download some of them, specially the ASTs.

Thanks so much for the recommendations.


jedilord:

WOW!! all of those cds are doujins, i'll see if i can find them.
If u want a CD from my list, just tell me which one, and i can tell where to find it.

[foreverandever]

Greetings, everyone! I'm a newborn to the forum... Good to 'meet' you all.

the shmuper:

Could I request all three Suikoden Music Collections you have on that list? I've been searching for a while, but I can never quite find a link that gets me the entire albums. Thanks so much!

[140.48]

dark cloud premium arrange eh?

i wish they would arrange some of the music from the first game.

[the shmuper]

Foreverandever, go check [Hidden link. Register to see links.], you can find what you want there.

yeah, i wish that too 140.48 T.T

Hi, shmuper!

Is your Psychic Force 2012 Arrange Sound trax a game rip or an official album rip? Is it in good mp3 quality?

In case it's an original album rip, could you upload it for me?

Thanks a lot in advance,
dezraj.

I also like it a lot, and it's good to know that you have the official album rip for the arrange tracks instead of the PlayStation's or Dreamcast's game rips (these might have lower sound quality than an audio CD rip, right?).

Thank you so much! I'll wait your upload.


By the way, I like many of the soundtracks that you've recommended. Most of the arranged tracks from SNK team are excellent, and many Bemani composers' productions are very good. Wangan Midnight 3 has top Yuso Koshiro's dance music quality too.

[the shmuper]

There u have, enjoy it damn it XD

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

I have the PS2 ver. of the game (Psichic Force Complete), a RIP from that would be better than this (192 kb/sec)

Thank you so much!

I didn't know this game came to the PS2. I've done a quick search about it and found that it is a bundle with the three games from the PF series. It seems they are ports from the arcade's versions, so we're supposed to have better graphics in here, at least compared to the PS1 versions.

As for the audio, I still think your rip from the official soundtrack CD should have an overall better sound quality and editing, even if it's in 192kbps MP3 quality.

Again, thanks a lot for the upload!
dezraj.
