I'm listening to Q1 soundtrack. I've always liked it, love the atmosphere.. it's very inspiring musically. Any others I should check out?

I played Alice a little bit few years ago, don't remember much of the soundtrack but I did check out the individual soundtrack release on amazon.com, pretty cool.

- i wish the soundtracks wouldn't be deliberate, they should be imperceptible and improve atmosphere in the same time.

- i wanna listen to soundtracks for the same reason described above

- quake, starcraft, alice, unreal

Had a great soundtrack imo, trancey sort of, mellow at times and rushing at other times, a nice mix of styles.

Other soundtracks I like are Unreal 1, and errr some more bah :)

Symphony of the Night.

Quake is really good, but i don't like listening to it when i'm not playing. Same goes for a lot of NES games.

Rise of the Triad was memorable. I wonder how it would sound to my ears now after so many years.

Of my favorite music moments, I would include the sequence at the start of the 'blastpit' section of Half-Life. It gave the feeling that something bizaar was waiting for you just around the corner.

Arx Fatalis's music also had a creepy vibe.
