Was gonna post this. Really sets the mood for a wide open world.

"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.

Ys Book 1 on Turbografx
As one of the early CD games, hearing this after walking out of the town left me just awestruck, especially since the town music was just chiptunes.
Someone posted this in a thread I made last week, and I've listened to it almost daily since. SO GOOD.MyEpitomeCliché;37078297 said:
Tim Follin's music in general is excellent.
What a shame that most of the games he does music for are terrible. I suppose Plok was pretty great, though.
I was going to say this. It's what convinced me to buy the game.Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
It's not my all time first level song of all time, but I thought it deserved mention.
Gotta love how there are almost no current gen games being mentioned.
