Adam Freeland "Fear (Go-Go-GST Remix)" | Rez (yewtu.be)

The Rez version is great, and this remix is even better....

Emergency Line Slash Stream - Acoustic Rock Remix (with original additional score) (odysee.com)

Mega Man X "Brainsick Metal" OC ReMix (ocremix.org)

Savaged Regime "Perimeter (Arranged)" | Xeno Crisis (yewtu.be)

pokes head out from behind a flood of posts...

Akira Ifukube (probably?) "Vs. King Ghidorah" | Godzilla: Monster of Monsters (yewtu.be)

If you search “Godzilla NES remix” it’s about impossible to find actual music and not creepypasta stuff.

"Anxiety" (Orchestrated remix) | Castlevania III (yewtu.be)

I think this song benefits from having modern samples. Live instrument versions also generally sound good.

Motoi Sakuraba "Leap the Precipice" | Eternal Sonata (yewtu.be)

I need to actually finish this game. 😅

Dune Spice Opera 2024 remaster, by EXXOS (Stéphane Picq with Philippe Ulrich) (stphanepicq.bandcamp.com)

Dan Forden "Dead Pool" (Paul Unfaces remix) | Mortal Kombat II (yewtu.be)

Apart from just a cool remix, it’s a nice glitch demonstration / behind the scenes compilation....

Fr3Qi "Yee-Haw!" (Orig. Masanori Hikichi & Masayuki Nagao "Stages 1-4") | Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (yewtu.be)

SuperSquare "No Sense Running" (orig. Jake Kaufman "An Underlying Problem") | Shovel Knight (virt.bandcamp.com)

Tomoya Ohtani et al. "Dropaholic" (Lame Genie Metal ver.) | Sonic Frontiers (yewtu.be)

The Frontiers ost, and esp. the cyberspace stages are amazing as-is, but yeah, I can get down with this.

Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra "Mega Man Suite" (yewtu.be)

Themes from Mega Man 1 - 3 are here, including a couple of Wily Castles.

Yutaka Minobe & Tatsuyuki Maeda "Kingdom of Ixa'Taka" | Skies of Arcadia (yewtu.be)

A turn-based rpg about travel and discovery in a very shonen kind of way. Now that I think about it, Skies takes a page or two from Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Anyway, one of the early lands has some of the most memorable music....

Andrew Hulshult "Spent Fuel" | Prodeus (yewtu.be)

Prodeus might have been the first time in a while that I had a great time in an fps....

Mike Morasky "Don't Do It" (Alex Giudici Remix) | Portal 2 (yewtu.be)

The long, brooding original by Moraski is given a similarly dark and insidious treatment with heavy synths and punchy bass....

Joel Corlitz - Life in a Pot (from Eastward) (yewtu.be)

Figured out how to rip music from XM (steamcommunity.com)

Blair Zuppicich did a great job with 7th Legion (say what you will about the game), and though Steam just gives you the soundtrack in mp3 format, I was confused that several themes were missing. This is a problem that perplexed me for many years, especially since my favorite theme was not among these files....
