This will forever my favorite OST. No other soundtrack conjures up such emotion to me, makes me feel so much with the consistent combination of piano ambiance building up to climaxing traditional Japanese scales throughout the soundtrack. This song nails what I mean, though this is a present factor throughout the game

hayseedascetic, not sure if you'd read any of the vaporwave thread, but I posted one album that's made of Shenmue samples (I think it's all Shenmue) by death's dynamic shroud.wmv. I listened to an interview with them where they talked about the practically mystical transportative feel of the game, trying to capture the feel of looking backing on it by adding strange warped pitch and tempo thing to the music, and by focusing on that alter-world thing they try and give it a nostalgic MMO feel. It's by far their most simple album (they go into sound collage stuff later), but it's my favorite for the feel.

I've had mixed-to-negative feelings about vapour in the past, though I'm starting to find mixes and releases few and far between that I'm perfectly cool with. I'll give this a shot right now and edit to let you know what I think Edit: seems to be, quite literally, the Shenmue soundtrack with tempo changes and pitch warps through about. Honestly, I'm not entirely opposed though! Lol, yeah this is cool Further edit: I quite like that some of the tracks (namely SUBURBAN) aren't CD rips, but what seems to be mixes recorded from actually playing the game, considering you can hear the ambient background noise (birds, dogs, etc) in the track. That's cool |

That's cool I think it's really effective. I missed this on tape earlier in April, I feel the sound qualities tapes give would've added to the atmosphere. I'd say vapour is more about putting previously made music into a new context/light/presentation with some variation, like "here's this music from before, but you're listening to it differently now" to varying degrees (but a lot of artists have split from that). I like the gameplay sound effects, too. Did you hear Shenmue III is coming out in December? |

Does the original Shenmue play well on an emulator? I've never played it.

Shenmue is amazing. I still have my original copies and played through the first game again last year. I love to just wander aimlessly, taking in the scenery trying to collect all of the cassette tapes. One time a friend asked me to make metal compilation for his car and I sneaked Dandy Old Man in there as a joke, now it's something we play almost every time we meet up! The main soundtrack though is truly magnificent.  |

I use to have the game of Lord of the Rings on SNES. The game was not really great but the graphics had some (very cool) muddy atmosphere and the soundtrack was awesome. Very dungeonesque. The opening of the game was just beautiful = www.youtube.com/watch?v=366MGt6zBRAAnd this one in the Wastelands was such an atmospheric piece of 16bit music = www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2BQXvDDIpc |

it's true this LOTR music on SNES is great.
On Megadrive I just love this theme from Ys III (the whole soundtrack is just amazing), which is very medieval (called "welcome"):

oh, I had forgotten of this game. It sounds really great. Here is the complete soundtrack (in OPL/ FM version). I don't believe it, it's so great, and sounds so much DS!! What a wonderful music.

Unjustified, perhaps, but this remeinds me of Jim Kirkwood's works  |

I didn't see these here browsing quickly:
...The soundtracks to the computer games Gothic 1-3 by Kai Rosenkranz. I think this has more than its fair share of tangents to symphonic dungeon synth, and are some of my all-time favourite video game OST's. The games are great too, rather big in Germany but not so known outside, I think. Really dark and gritty fantasy, definitely more Conan than Lord Of The Rings, and great examples of single player open-world action-RPG games.

I agree, Gothic musics are awesome, and the games are great too. I've just found this remake of a classic C64/Amstrad game (Cauldon), it sounds rather DS to me:
