    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

      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

              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

                    The password entry screen for Metal Gear.

                    Love that tune. So calming.
