I know you probably love a dozen tracks, please pick one, thank you in advance.

EDIT: Thank you all so far, especially everyone who kept it to one. I am at work currently and will make my way through the list but may not get a chance to thank you individually. I am checking them all out though and appreciating it.

What kind of music do you listen to at work? Like high energy vs chill focus music?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

really a mix, pop, death metal, jazz, alt, edm... although if I need to concentrate it needs to be a song that I don't know if it has lyrics as otherwise it's distracting

Can’t believe no one has suggested this yet: Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX

"Disco Descent" from Crypt of the Necrodancer

Batman (NES) – Streets of Desolation

Sega version is good too, just different

Slinger's Song - from the game Bastion

I heard this song first on this Sauerbraten race-vid, I haven't played the original Bastion game.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Bastion has a slew of great soundtracks and environments, and I found the story very impactful. Highly recommend trying the game if you can!

The whole soundtrack is good, but:

Counterattack from Xenoblade Chronicles 2

I especially love the way it subverts the rhythm and modulates the key going into the final refrain around 3:45.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I like Life is Strange 1's sound track tbh. Tony Hawk and Grand Theft Auto and Pokemon and Mario all have some excellent music too.

edit: Wow, I forgot a word, and it completely changed the meaning of my sentence lol

My Splatoon-obsessed son recommends In Filtration from Splatoon 3.

I might come across as an obsolete dinosaur (which I probably am) - but I really enjoyed the tracks from Hitman game series, especially Exploration from Hitman 2 : Silent Assasin, and then became a fan of anything composed by Jesper Kyd.

March of the Dreadnoughts, from Final Fantasy XIII!

https://youtu.be/VZw9O0julsA?si=5CAsmLXxJLI-AmgZ

I think it’s my favorite instrumental piece of music.

If you want to get shit done for good, the ending to Max Payne 3. Tears.

I have loads of suggestions, but my absolute favorite video game song is Drone by bignic from the Domina soundtrack. I listen to it on the subway at least once a month.
