obscure video game original soundtracks
« on: January 21, 2024, 03:31:06 PM »
I completely agree with the nostalgia and loosening of emotions. I have been doing layers of deep dives into my music past as well. This led me to a lot of very obscure video game original soundtracks from my childhood. Those soundtracks made me truly feel like a hero and close to divinity. Some of it sounds like a rainbow dance utopia in heaven that never made its way to earth but through the music. Some of those video game soundtrack artists in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s made some extremely unique sounds and compositions that I don’t necessarily hear in other places. So finding those was a nice treat. It was also nice to remember I have been striving to understand these feelings even during my naive and more innocent years.

Interesting, rougeleader115, I moved your comment regarding obscure video game original soundtracks to our thread that is dedicated to inspirational music. I am not very familiar with video game sound tracks. I recall early video games being an entry point into computing back in the late 70s and early 80s, so I don't know much about it, but thanks for sharing.
There is no progress without discipline.

I never got into computer games, either - never had a beefy enough computer, since I always buy second-hand machines for a couple hundred bucks and just run Linux to extend their life.  I never even considered that game soundtracks would be a thing - but it makes sense, since gaming is so popular, that some of them would be accompanied by excellent music.  I may have to search YouTube to see if I can find some samples.

I’ve always appreciated this one ☝️ by Matt Uelmen. The title is of the level where it appears in-game, but it’s actually a prayer to Shakti.
