Which NES soundtrack do you find very relaxing?
-
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
Ugh it wasn't NES, but there's a SNESdrunk video out there with an OST clip that absolutely slapped, and I haven't been able to find it again. I combed all the music-specific videos and then some. I'm not sure if it was even SNES or not. Thanks for reminding me

It's been awhile, but my first thought was Kirby

Given that we're talking about "relaxing music", my first hit on Kagi for "SNESdrunk ost" is this and it looks apropos:

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.

Look up Daniel Tidwell vs video games. He did a rock version of this. They also used it in the new Ducktales cartoons.
-
I like to vibe to certain tracks from the Mega Man series.

Gonma be honest, I love the Pictionary theme
It has no business being that good

My mom used to use the fishing song from The Black Bass to put me to sleep. Many moons later, I still find it soothing.

Duck Tails. Nothing beats that moon theme.
This immediately started playing in my head when I read the question.

My favorite NES "soundtrack" is Dark Side of the Moon, Brad Smith's fantastic adaptation of the Pink Floyd classic for the NES console.

Solstice.
Composer put out straight fire on this one

I remember enjoying a lot of the Mega Man music. But also the theme for the first area in Crystalis has stuck with me for ages.
