Video Game Music - What Do You Remember?

In my opinion; there is not better video game soundtracks than that of The Legend of Zelda and Banjo-Kazooie. Koji Kondo (LOZ) was masterful at figuring out how to go from cheerful to scary to depressing in a heartbeat. Meanwhile, Grant Kirkhope is absolutly brilliant on the Banjo-Kazooie soundtrack. I was actually able to interview him for a class project for my Recording Industry 2010 class! He is very down to earth and is still writing!

Well I'm new here so can't post YouTube links but I loved the music to Final Fantasy 7. Aeris's theme is a beautiful piece of music.

I hope it's the right one.

Yes that's the one! I've never heard that version of it before either, thanks for sharing it.

Ive never played Banjo kazooie but ive heard alot of fans of it praise Kirkhope. He must have done something magical scoring that game cause alot of N64 gamers often mention him.
