I have, but I'd be banned for giving a link.

Ahhh, yes, that's true. Well, 'tis a shame.

In other news, the FFIX Piano Collections have completely rocked my face. Every single theme redone in piano is amazing.

 

[Prez]

Just search one of the parts on Google between quotation marks and you're there.

 

[ZephyrFate]

the 10,000 bullets theme I posted in the OP is available on the OST 'Moonlit Shadow' which was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda and Miki Hagashino. It's a bunch of big band jazz and it is sooo chill.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Time for some Phantasy Star Online love

PSO - Rose Confession
PSO - Valentine
PSO - Day Dawns

 

[ZephyrFate]

Wild Arms IV - Nightless City Guara Bobelo

Honestly, so very different from usual music in videogames. Jazzy, bluesy, emphasizing nightlife with very real instruments; trumpets and beautiful sax overlaid on piano. God, I wish more videogames had this music.

 

[xelios]

Running out of things which haven't been mentioned...

Wizardry 8 - Arnika
X3 OST - Seizewell
X3 OST - Kingdom's End
X3 OST - Song 2 (?)

 

[ZephyrFate]

Xenosaga III - Rolling Down The U.M.N.

Not a game but still very relaxing - Love Hina - Warmth

Why is it that the two Baten Kaitos games have Sakuraba's best work ever?? I wish he could deliver this good in other games too

This. Why is it so much better than his other works? The music does remind me of Mitsudas

 

[Bullet82SWE]

The PPPPPP soundtrack, so nerdy so good.

 

[Guardian Bob]

Anything from this series! So good!

 

[brotkasten]

Okay, this one is probably a little bit to fast compared to most songs in this thread, but it's still kinda relaxing.

Gran Turismo PSP
London Electricity - Just One Second (Apex remix)

Even though you guys posted many, many great songs in this thread, something is still missing. Something great, from Uematsu. Not a Final Fantasy OST, but ...?

Lost Odyssey

I started to listen to this awesome OST, so I could pick some songs for this thread and I wasn't even half through it, until realized that I was writing almost every song down. I could do that. Really, it's that good imo. But you know what? I'll give you just this one. That song, that stopped me from writing that list.

Eclipse of Time

And here is the Youtube playlist for the OST.
Lost Odyssey Soundtrack

I hope you'll enjoy it like I did, when I got my CDs.

 

[ULTROS!]

The ultimate chill music:

Yaschas Massif

 

[HankToms]

DJ Krush - Song 2 from LittleBigPlanet

 

[Clear]

Very short (< 2 mins), but incredibly pretty piece from the Nier OST.

This Dream

 

[BumRush]

There was a small spaceship flash game that had one AMAZING song that looped over and over...i'm looking for it now.

 

[Android18a]

WaveRace 64 has some of the most awesomely chilled music ever.

Dolphin Park
Twilight City
Drake Lake

Almost every song in there was amazing.

 

[Castle Doctrine]

This is a slow-burn masterpiece in my opinion.

Super Stardust HD - Title Theme

 

[H_Prestige]

Kingdom Hearts Traverse Town: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOgvgzMuH2c
Final Fantasy IX Dark City Treno: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9m33rVuVJU

[valkillmore]

I have a number of SimCity 4 tracks on my iPod for this express purpose. I always throw on some ambient when I want to chill. The terrain building music in SC4 gets the job done proper.

Also, some DKC.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

The entire Lost odyssey OST
To zanarkand
one of the ice stages in one of the megaman X games.


All that spring to mind.

 

[Slayer-33]

Tagged for later use,


Forgot about the Chrono Cross shadow forest theme, fucking awesome.



Here is my contribution

Final Fantasy VIII Music - The Salt Flats

F'ing magical.

Most of Chrono Cross music, and Sims 1 building themes:

 

[f3niks]

While moving my music collect the this morning I came across a few tracks that I'm ashamed of myself for not remembering.

They are all from the Zone of the Enders series:

Zone Of The Enders OST1 - Kiss Me Sunlights (Opening Theme)

Zone Of The Enders OST1 - Flowing Destiny (Ending Theme 1)

Zone Of The Enders OST1 - A Light With A Name Of Hope

Zone Of The Enders - Blue Heart of Air

Zone Of The Enders OST2 - Beyond the Bounds(Mitsuto Suzuki remix)

I could also list all of the Silent Hill 3 OST but here's one of my faves

Silent Hill 3 OST Track 5 Breeze, In Monochrome Night

 

[IronFistedChampion]

fl0ws menu music, straight up relaxing

 

[AC!D]

I could have sworn Sim City on the SNES had some really nice relaxing music that changed with the seasons in game, but I cna't find it on You Tube? (Or am I confusing it with another strategy game..?)

 

[Pappasman]

The entire Cave Story soundtrack.

 

[MuzzledBasher]

MM9 AST No.6 - Splash Blue Seems to fit the thread title criteria pretty well.
Also the original 8-bit version is really nice as well - MM9 - Splash Woman - tho I wouldn't necessarily call it relaxing.

 

[Nert]

Here are some of my favorites:

(Edit: Most of these links became inactive)

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Love the stuff posted here, great threadx100

If it hasn't been added I loved Fancy Mel's theme from Threads of Fate. It's a little happy but still has a chill vibe to it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT6RPOeJU9k

Another song I really love is from the PS2's ICO demo. Not sure if it's even in the full game and I don't know the name of it. *edit* "You Were There"

And you know, being an amateur musician myself, I swear some of the music in video games is the best stuff ever written. Seriously underrated composers.

Heavenly Star (by Genki Rockets) - No More Heroes

Love that song.

 

[theinfinityissue]

Hey, thought of another one after all this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNcjANP9y_U

Also, bumping a really phenomenal and useful thread for the crops of juniors that maybe haven't seen it.

 

[Larson Conway]

Lovely thread.

 

[Roto13]

Pretty much all of the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles OST. Especially that song that plays at that dock by the river or whatever. I forget what it's called and I can't be assed to look it up. None of you would listen to it anyway.

 

[Dragmire]

Nanorobot Tune (Machinarium): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2lC7qzlg5c&fmt=18

Speaking of this (old) suggestion, I'm partial to this Machinarium song, myself. (Buy this game, get the OST for free do iiiiit)

 

[leng jai]

Nier's OST. Some of it is downright depressing though, works perfectly for brooding.

 

[Hamblasto]

Off the top of my head, I can only think of a couple of season themes in Rune Factory Frontier and the main theme from Harvest Moon 64.

HM64 - Main Theme
RF:F - Summer
RF:F- Spring

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Here are some of my favorites:



Bloomy Girls (Lumines II): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM4C47a6UIU&fmt=18

really great. Thank you for that.
