I know you probably love a dozen tracks, please pick one, thank you in advance.

EDIT: Thank you all so far, especially everyone who kept it to one. I am at work currently and will make my way through the list but may not get a chance to thank you individually. I am checking them all out though and appreciating it.

I like Life is Strange 1's sound track tbh. Tony Hawk and Grand Theft Auto and Pokemon and Mario all have some excellent music too.

edit: Wow, I forgot a word, and it completely changed the meaning of my sentence lol

The whole soundtrack is good, but:

Counterattack from Xenoblade Chronicles 2

I especially love the way it subverts the rhythm and modulates the key going into the final refrain around 3:45.

I might come across as an obsolete dinosaur (which I probably am) - but I really enjoyed the tracks from Hitman game series, especially Exploration from Hitman 2 : Silent Assasin, and then became a fan of anything composed by Jesper Kyd.

Slinger's Song - from the game Bastion

I heard this song first on this Sauerbraten race-vid, I haven't played the original Bastion game.

Bastion has a slew of great soundtracks and environments, and I found the story very impactful. Highly recommend trying the game if you can!

The theme song from Pictionary on the NES.

The Spine - Transistor OST.

There's 3 versions, though... The soundtrack version with lyrics, the game instrumental, and the humming version.

Most of the tracks in the game have at least 2 versions, music is kind of a central theme of the story.

The album this track is on is amazing as a whole. It's like a musical journey around the world. It's a beautifully cohesive album start to finish.

Batman (NES) – Streets of Desolation

Sega version is good too, just different

March of the Dreadnoughts, from Final Fantasy XIII!

I think it’s my favorite instrumental piece of music.

Great tune. I only know it from this Sauer race-vid

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What kind of music do you listen to at work? Like high energy vs chill focus music?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

really a mix, pop, death metal, jazz, alt, edm... although if I need to concentrate it needs to be a song that I don't know if it has lyrics as otherwise it's distracting

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Aight, for chill concentration EDM-ish background music...

Satisfactory's Pygmalion Effect
