really like "downstream" from the braid soundtrack. makes me think of chillin out in a wide-open green field in ireland (not that i've ever actually done that).

edit: i have to admit that after the 4:32 mark or so it's not very relaxing, but before that it's great

 

[Souldriver]

It's gotta be 'Heal' from ICO hasn't it.

Yep, I immediately thought of this.


Dire Dire docks is a great one too.

 

[ronito]

Most of the FFXII OST. Puts you right to sleep.

 

[Yoshichan]

Ragnarok Online has a god-tier OST. Usually I mute my MMOs, but I make an exception to Ragnarok Online. Much of the music is so chill.

soundTeMP = Gods.

 

[Schnei871]

Pretty much anything from Viva Pinata.

Man. After listening. These are the clear winners for relaxing tracks. Amazing games too imo

 

[Yoshichan]

Most of the FFXII OST. Puts you right to sleep.

I always thought FFXII OST makes me pumped :lol This seems to be the case with most Sakimoto-songs for me.

 

[Meccanical]

Most of the FFXII OST. Puts you right to sleep.

Oh it puts you to sleep alright.

 

[GunslingerRalph]

Suikoden - Main Theme Arranged (Guitar Version)

 

[Yoshichan]

Oh it puts you to sleep alright.

Oh, you

 

[Kud Dukan]

Halo 2 - Unforgotten/Halo 3 - Never Forget.

I can only relax to that song.

Love that one so much. When the piano and vocals kick it at 0:58 seconds, it's perfect.

 

[Meccanical]

Oh, you

That said I love Sakimoto's FFT OST, but FF XII...man everything about that game was boring to me.

I don't know why.

 

[Jigsaw]

Chrono Cross - Dream of the Shore Near Another World
This.

this.

 

[Persona7]

Silent Hill 3 - End Of Small Sanctuary

 

[spidye]

The Sims OST - Building Mode 6

[Myriadis]

Skyward Sword - Isle of Songs
Skyward Sword - Island in the Sky
Skyward Sword - Gate of Time
Skyward Sword - Fi's theme
Skyward Sword - Lynayru Sand Sea

The soundtrack of Skyward Sword, in general, is really relaxing. It's also very beautiful and I would say that it is my favorite soundtrack from the entire series.

Suikoden V - A Lady In Black

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - World 5 Theme

Metroid Prime 2 - Torvus Bog: Submerged Temple

Final Fantasy Crystal Chonicles - Within the Gloomy Darkness

Final Fantasy Crystal Chonicles - Light and Shadow

Neotokyo - Out

 

[StayDead]

Not sure if this counts or if it's been mentioned before, but the entirety of the Animal Crossing soundtrack.

 

[ronito]

Oh it puts you to sleep alright.

That's the joke.

 

[mclem]

How about Lament of the Highborne?

 

[StarEye]

Final Fantasy IX - Bran Bal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XABE0mrb0eY

Very melancholic, sad and a bit dreamy.

lol

Somehow I knew what this was before clicking on it.

 

[Mr2day]

ICO You Were There

Portal 2: Exile Vilify

 

[Yoshichan]

I dunno if the actual songs in FFXI are relaxing but I remember sleeping infront of the game countless times. Mostly when I was looking for group or when I was chatting with buddies. Such a good fucking game, god damn.

Piano Collection, but phenomenal nonetheless:

Final Fantasy IV - Theme of Love

 

[LuniRPG]

Some of my personal favorites:

Legend of Legaia - Light of the Town

Phantasy Star Online - Day Dawns (Lobby music)

 

[Loomer]

The whole thing, really. Definitely not something I'd fall asleep to but a great late-night listen, as is most Amon Tobin stuff anyway.

 

[Venfayth]

How about Lament of the Highborne?

Oooh this deserves a quote. Loved it then and still do today

 

[J_Ark]

Xenoblade Chronicles Music - Eryth Sea / Night (basicily all the night themes are fantastic)

Suikoden II OST - Reminiscence

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Dearly Beloved

Xenoblade OST - Reminiscence

Final Fantasy X OST : To Zanarkand

There are sooooo many

 

[spidye]

I was looking for some great music from videogames on youtube because of the Symphony of the Night thread, and I found myself looking for some chillout music in the form of Mario 64. Now everybody ofcourse knows the track that I am referring to.

Dire Dire Docks

Certainly one of my most loved gaming songs, with ofcourse some great tracks from OoT as well.
I'm sure there will be plenty of RPG tracks being posted, as those have great music as well most of the time. Let me know what your favorite relaxing tracks are?

( feel free to link to it as well )

I still think this is the perfect videogame song. even a decade after it's release.

 

[Darryl]

Phantasy Star Online - Day Dawns (Lobby music)

haven't heard this song since i was a kid, hit some very odd nostalgia chords.

 

[kingkaiser]

From Mass Effect 1

Noveria Ambiance

Wards - Missing Track

Edit: Do not scroll down to the comments, because of ME 3 spoilers!

 

[ColossalLazy]

Adventure - Devil Summoner 2
Hepatica (Kos-Mos) - Xenosaga 3
Silent Shadow - Jinguji Saburo End of Dreams
Shining Ash - Jinguji Saburo Hai to Diamond

 

[Fuu]

The ones I came to mention (Dream of the Shore and Song of the Ancients) were already posted so:

Killer7 - Dissociative Identity

Parasite Eve - Somnia Memorias

Nier: Song of the Ancients

I know it's supposed to be a single track but I'll cheat and also throw bones to His Dream, Repose and City of Commerce as they all also rank high on the relaxing scale and because I just love this OST so much.

Chrono Cross - Dream of the Shore Near Another World
This.

And:

Chrono Trigger - Secret of the Forest

 

[Seda]

Somehow I knew what this was before clicking on it.

I did too.

 

[Noaloha]

There's something real warm and cosy about the Persona 4 title theme. I quickly got to a point where, upon starting up an evening's play, I'd ritually allow it to loop at least once before I went and loaded the save.

 

[Yoshichan]

We already know that Mitsuda is the king of creating relaxing melodies, but yeah... Xenogears.
