"Communication Breakdown" - From Xenosaga Episode II, by Yuki Kajiura.

http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/2361

Epicness at its best. Ignore the slow, dark, start, and wait for the fun to begin. The two climaxes in this song are easily a couple of the greatest in gaming history, and compares to several from the Movie Soundtrack industry. The choir adds a whole new level to this piece. Surprisingly, the techno works well. <3 Yuki Kajiura!

Immediately... Well... I think it would be Ayaka - Why [Crisis Core theme]

I actually have it, but it`s one of the best songs I`ve ever heard!

Sure. How about wrestling music. And if you look at modern wrestling music, it's no different than listening to the radio at times. Covers rap, country, alternative, pop, metal, rock, ect...

And then there's jpop ... but it goes hand in hand with japanese vgm listeners, or so I would assume.

Sadly, I can't recommend a single song. My tastes tend to rotate monthly, so I could say "try this", and in a month I wouldn't care for that song anymore. But for my "try this" track, the one tune that plays alot in my playlist is "Basillica" by Jill's Project "Bloody Chronicle" disk 2. Actually, the title on the album is "un-titled 001". Got some people who say it sounds like it could've been done by Black Mages, but I wouldn't say that.

Dhurrr... No? Well, I also listen to Japanese music. There are some Western bands I kinda like (Evanescence, Tenacious D, Linkin Park), but I only listen to Western music like... 1 hour a year. The only Western album I'm currently looking forward to is N*E*R*D's new album (whenever that comes out...).

Anyway, since it's been like 2 weeks since I beat Rogue Galaxy, I'll recommend an RG song. I'd like to recommend THE GALAXY PUBLIC CORPORATION (http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/4828/53). A very soothing piano/violin song.

I listen to music that I actually like. Mac Dre, N.W.A, Wu-Tang Clan, Goodie Mob, Nas, and Outkast qualify as non-game music that I listen to.

When it comes to game music, I listen to music that I actually like and don't follow everyone else. Donkey Kong Country, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Mario Party 7, and Taz-Mania all count as some of my favorite game music.

I'm strange.

Of course I listen to something else... Not only VG music.... I like J-rock a lot... So if I had to tell this board to download a song not from a video game it would definitely be Gazette - Filth in the Beauty...

Inevertrable Retreat, a remix of an Earthworm Jim 2 song. The song was also used by Tommy Tallarico (the man himself) on the otherwise fairly bad Best of Videogame Music arrange album. An excellent song and probably quite appealing to the mainstream public as well.

The largest part of my music collection (and what I pretty much only listen to lately) are actuavideogame music arrangements. :-P (ocremix, vgmix, housethegrate, the one ups, a lot of doujin albums, ...)
I don't really listen to videogame music soundtracks because they tend to be repetive. Always good to hear when a composer releases a full arrange album of their own ost (like Yasunori Mitsuda)

Oh yeah, I also listen to metal (trash, speed and black), gabber hardcore, jazz (acid), ambient, chiptunes and classical music. :)
