Hello again, I'm really getting in to blogging recently :D I'm finding that it is really cool way of conecting with people alike. So while I've made myself break from composing music I thought of making a list of the music tracks from the games I've played i thought ware brilliant.I will release the list in few parts ( because I'm too busy to do it in one go ). This is not my top favorites list since I admire most of those tracks equaly.

Composer: Koji Kondo [View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkH2zETKqws] The list opens Overworld Theme which is the most iconic Zelda track ever composed i think. Easily recognizable and it's full of adventure, excitement and energy. Once you hear it you'll never forget it. I'm always nerding out whenever i hear it!

Assassin's Creed - Chase Theme

Composer: Jesper Kyd[View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksor9p52M74]I think that first AC game was highly unappreciated. Even though the amount of recycled missions ware horrible, i still think that the game had most interesting setting, good reward system and best ost from all the installments in the series. A mixture of middle eastern motifs with modern electronic ambience and heavy druming created unique and magical atmosphere.

Chaos Legion OST - [Boss BGM] Choir of Curse

Composer: Hideyuki Fukasawa[View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaBanbNeq5w] Chaos Legion was pretty bad game. Bad graphics and boring and repetitive gameplay. But the thing that stand out for me was that insane electro-classical music that made my blood pumping fast. Just totally rocks!

Warcraft 2 Soundtrack - Human 02

Composer: Unknown! ( if anyone knows please let me know... lol) [View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vGnzKki5aA] Here's another classic this time from blizzard. Although the samples used sound a bit dated by todays standards, it's heroic enough to make you want kick orc's arses and melodic enough to remember it! Over all the whole ost is great. :)

ONI Soundtrack: "Konoko Chase"

Composers: Paul Sebastien, Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori [View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guuJJrhAMCo] Old school electro track from the first Bungie game ONI. Worked perfect within the game's high-octane cyberpunk setting.

 

Hope you enjoyed it and you will come back for the next part.

See you space cowboys!
