February 6, 20242 yr Author I have @gaspard to thank for this next great track I found as he mentioned it as one of his favorites: Soul Blade OST Heavenly Engage (Theme of Sophitia)
February 22, 20242 yr Author I thought I would append my introduction of this topic with another post from the great Abzu soundtrack by Austin Wintory - "Their Waters Were Mingled Together":
May 23, 20241 yr Author I recently became reacquainted with this track from Final Fantasy V by the great Nobuo Uematsu - Overworld Theme:

June 15, 20241 yr Author DuckTales - Journey To The Very End - The Moon (SNES remix): (also found in an SMW rom hack)
June 15, 20241 yr Braid has a pretty nice soundtrack! I suppose it's style is a little classical, but it sets a great mood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mVKJdgF19k&list=PLE09A650B6C70332A&index=5 Going in another direction, Life is Strange has a nice soundtrack too. You have Jonathan Morali's sweet guitar, and then there's Daughter writing heavy impact music for Before The Storm (song like, but not quite): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td330GWYYFQ
July 4, 20241 yr Author Super Adventure Island - Ice Groove (found in a SMW rom hack): (I think this track demonstrates how you can effectively use blue notes to imply the Locrian mode)
July 10, 20241 yr A few months ago I discovered the Moonlighter Soundtrack (I've never played the game) and I fell in love. While all music gets old when you overlisten to it (which I did), I still appreciate this song, my favorite one from the OST: I like how this song can evoke such a brave and exploratory emotion with mostly diatonic harmony. I have been one to overobsess over fancy chromatic harmony, and this song has proven that amazing things can be done with diatonic harmony. From my knowledge, the only borrowed chord is the V chord, which is expected.

September 5, 20241 yr Author Here's another one I found in a SMW rom hack. This is actually from a Wendy's (the fast food joint popular in the U.S.) training video from like the 80's: Wendy's Hot Drinks - by Marvin Hawkins and Toby Fox:
