Ur-quan Masters remake remix from the original; The Eternal Doctrine
www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6uPw35j-Ok

Interstate76 (i don't know the names of these songs, but chose the one you like the best - they're all lovely)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDyiK-XulWQ

Turrican2; (legendary) Chris Hüelsbeck
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvha_2hAzq0

eXtase, Stéphane Picq (a game that uses generative music, so it has random music with leifmotivs)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1GNgeVSDtM&feature=related

SWOS menu (the title is nice too, but silly - this is relaxing)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6vTVl-owoM

I love deus ex synapse. It melded so well with the cheesy fake accents and is so energetic.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHQZNNajxOk

The last express ending music (worth watching too)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eLhDN3qKE0

I agree with the dreamweb picks, though i prefer The Dealer, due to it's insane laugh leifmotiv; Matt Seldon
www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPKV2wnCz5c

Same for Tristam and many others here; Matt Uelmen
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2evIg-aYw8

I suppose LOOM is cheating. But when i was a wee lad. i didn't know who had really composed it, and was left thinking that all games had that kind of music.
The final denouement was epic. Same for Adagio for Strings in Homeworld, but i was older and knew what it was.

But i still love Hollywood theme the best.

There is a sequel part 2 to Hollywood Hub that I never released. Email and I'll send it to you if you like. This is my favorite composition I ever wrote. I just got sober and out of a dark divorce and unsettling part of my life. I was broke and living on a couch. The song was recorded downtown in a seedy loft prior to me signing on to compose Bloodlines, probably a year before. They heard it and wanted it. I was going to start a band around this sound but it never came to fruition...

[Discoalucard]

Bumping up because there are six hours left before the deadline! I've done a preliminary count and it looks like the total # of songs will be 200.

[Deleted]

Just added my final pick (Livingstone Supongo theme). Can't wait for the results.

We need more people who owned Amigas in here!

Looking forward to seeing the final list
