Which NES soundtrack do you find very relaxing?

Composer put out straight fire on this one
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Apparently the Solstice music was done by one Tim Follin, who also did the Pictionary music that was also mentioned here.
EDIT:

Since you specified NES, og Zelda and Maniac Mansion

There's something profoundly relaxing and sound-bathic about it, spesh with a low pass filter or filtering out all the treble.
The House song from Mother 1 is amazing and so is the rest of the album in this light
Try it; I double-dare you
wrote on last edited by [email protected]The game is sorta crap even though I like it, but I find The Blues Brothers NES OST very comfy.

:::spoiler MIDI render walkthrough
Starting from the
eb0_mother_livehousesong.midMIDI-sequenced version here:https://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/
Use MIDI soundfont Musyng Kite (a more-realistic, not-very-synthy soundfont; there will be ones that'll be closer to the NES, but this will have the non-synth instruments sound more-realistic) converted to .sf2.
Use TiMidity++ to render to a WAVE file (could just play it directly, too, but I want to upload it):
$ timidity --volume-compensation --anti-alias -in -D10 -S20M -OsS -c ~/.timidity/timidity.cfg -EFresamp=L -EFreverb -EFvlpf -EFchorus=s -EFdelay -EFns -Ow -o eb0_mother_livehousesong.wav $ cat ~/.timidity/timidity.cfg soundfont "/home/tal/m/sw/sf2/Musyng_Kite.sf2" $Convert to Opus-encoded WebM, as Lemmy will accept inline WebM:
$ ffmpeg -i eb0_mother_livehousesong.wav -vcodec vnull -acodec libopus eb0_mother_livehousesong.webmAnd then uploading to catbox.moe.
Referencing the video in a spoiler tag, because I don't know of an audio-only format that Lemmy is okay with, and the Lemmy Web UI tries making a large video player for WebM:

wrote on last edited by [email protected]This might be a weird, obscure game, I think, but I LOVE the Act 1 Part 1 song from Totally Rad and Act 1 Part 2 is my second favorite NES tune. The whole OST is just fire.
https://youtu.be/vLbR-vm-Ry8 - Part 1
https://youtu.be/l-IZG44nfvk - Part 2
The game started as a sort of jrpg sidescroller, but it got... butchered from "Americanizing". Still gnarly, though (heh).
Also, honorable mention, all the music from The Guardian Legend. All of it. I love that game so much.
The Guardian Legend OST - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEOQ0YA_1DWlqKUJkOJaJL0YB2brVTCFd
One of the best songs - https://youtu.be/W2q0aIql0Qw
Oh shit, and this one (sorry, I'm like a kid in a candy shop trying to pick my favorite when it comes to NES) - https://youtu.be/o_VzSKgTye0

Gonma be honest, I love the Pictionary theme
Lmao wth. Was not expecting a bump from Pictionary. This is so good.

Nice! Wandering and Awakening in particular

Oh hell yeah. I'll take Solstice any day. What a legendary game. One of the best platform-puzzle titles for it's time. You just can't understand it until you play it.
I never had the manual, so it was confusing as hell for a while. Most stories for NES games came from the manual. NES manuals were half guides, half prologue novels.
You play this song and I will instantly know where its from - https://youtu.be/N3YrrUtQ7-g

SNESdrunk
Given that we're talking about "relaxing music", my first hit on Kagi for "SNESdrunk ost" is this and it looks apropos:
https://archive.org/details/3-hours-of-relaxing-super-nintendo-music-snesdrunk
Is that it? If it is, I suspect that from the sound quality on the first song, what they're doing is taking someone's MIDI file representing the SNES soundtrack and then rendering it using a newer soundfont.
I don't much like music rendered with FM synthesis myself, the way the original NES sound hardware worked --- not a chiptunes fan --- but I do keep around some old game MIDI files and listen to them with synthesis using newer soundfonts.
I skimmed through the long compilation videos cause there are a few.
I'm pretty sure it was a game list video or a one of his normal videos... I feel like I remember him raving about the music and saying something like "Just listen to this", and then an entirely too sick metal-ish riff goes off.
It could very well be a false memory though lol
