    Need For Speed 2 - Headless Horse

    One of the two songs that can play during Proving Grounds oval track or on the results screen. It's random.

      The CD-rom for Mechwarrior 2 could play in a standard CD player. Track one was the data for the game, but the remaining 22-odd tracks were the in-game music. We used to listen to the Mechwarrior 2 soundtrack while playing everything else. I still love that music.

        I remember never being able to tape it anywhere except for my friends football game. Fifa 97, I think?

              Still Alive from Mirror's Edge is also excellent.

              They really had to give the ending credits song the same name huh.

                      Not one track, but I love all the biome specific music in Terraria.

                        That would be the opening prelude of Final Fantasy VII. You immediately understand what the themes of the game are when listening to it, it's highly effective in portraying things/feelings like loss, despair, melancholy, overcome, hope. And all of that with a rather limited set of instruments (compared to other compositions). It's pure and sincere without being kitschy. Nothing is hidden or ambiguous or pretentious. It wears its big broken heart on its sleeve in the best possible way. It's a masterpiece.

                            I'll give you two albums worth:

                            *Bastion OST

                            *Transistor OST

                              Probably Stickerbush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2.

                              Lots of good Final Fantasy tracks from Nobuo Uematsu and Chrono Trigger/Cross ones from Yasunori Mitsuda too. But Stickerbush Symphony was the first video game music that really moved me, like more than your average SNES soundtrack. David Wise went hard on those Donkey Kong Country games.

                                  I couldn't pick just one.

                                  1. From The Witcher 3:
                                    1. Whiterun theme (unforgivably absent from the OST albums)
                                    2. Fields of Ard Skellig (a version of the folk song "Fear a Bhata")
                                  2. From Skyrim... hard to pick out favourites
                                  3. From Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (Jeremy Soule again): The Art of War. It opens boldly but there's a moment when it's just twinkling in the strings, percussion and a little piano with almost no melody. If at that moment you happen to be watching the trajectory of your artillery arcing towards the enemy, and then the theme comes back as they land... sublime.

                                      Definitly Black Fairy by Akira Yamaoka from Silent Hill 2. If you played it you know how powerful this track is.

                                        Demon Hunter - Collapsing from Killing Floor 2 was a real gem.

                                          Mass Effect sound track is amazing. For ambiance so loved The Wards. And Victory makes me feel all heroic as Shepard.

                                          Presidium and Uncharted Worlds are also really good.

                                          M4 Faunts is genuinely one of my favorite credits songs too. Mass Effect soundtrack is just way too good.
