Sorry flux, but I wanted to save my post for when I was at work.I really like some video game music. But I prefer the full orchestral versions rather than the sequenced stuff. I have a great renditions of the Legend of Zelda Theme, Final Fantasy 3 (NA) themes (FF6 in Japan), and the Super Mario Bros theme. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

I have Boston Pops recordings of Zelda and Mario medlies (separate). I like orchestrated stuff a lot better myself, I can't stand MIDI.Soundtracks that I actually own: Halo 2, Half Life 2, Fable (great stuff), Myst, Riven, Myst IV, Quake 2 (if you have the game...), Quake 3, Morrowind (also great) I actually ripped music from Myst IV using a tool, IIRC almost 2 GB of stuff in WAV and OGG, but a lot of it was short riffs and whatnot. Still managed to grab about 50 good tracks out of it tho. And while Half Life 2, Quake 2 and Quake 3 aren't orchestrated, they're still good to listen to. I actually bought the Sonic Mayhem disc for Q3A. I also ripped some misc crap from Project Gotham 2 (modded XBox + FTP + game ripper = browsable game content on xbox HD), which had almost a GB of music itself in WMA. Call me crazy, but soundtracks are great programming music. --------------------

I think the best one I've ever heard is the orchestral version of the Final Fantasy 3 (6, japan) theme.Although, the funniest is by far the Stephen Hawking is a Quake Master one. Although, that's more just sound effects and a bass line. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.
