"Flight" from Panzer Dragoon. I'm pretty sure Sega wanted to outright
wow people with the Saturn, so having a full-blown orchestral piece serve as the backing to the surreal sunken city landscape (complete with impressive-in-1994 water effects to seal the deal) was a great choice. Unfortunately, it must've been somewhat prohibitively expensive to use that orchestra, because they only did two other tunes in the game (the title theme and the credits theme), but what
was done still holds up quite well today. Comparatively,
Zwei's (
"Destiny Begins") is a bit too erratic and shrill, although
Saga's (
"A Premonition of War") is a pretty good tune for coming to grips with the dragon's overworld controls, featuring the credits theme for the first time.
"Terraport"/"Bamboo Mill" from Vectorman.
Vectorman has a pretty great soundtrack filled with fairly subdued techno, and this is arguably the best track in the game (I think I prefer
"Tidal Surge", though). Always good to start with your best foot forward.
There, five more selections. Although the clear winner here is
"Go Straight", of course.
