Elmofongo: Here's another version of the same piece, only problem is half way through they included some Female Singer the likes of which you here from Romance music and James Bond openings. But the beginning is still powerful:

Also here's the lyrics, the song is in Esperanto:

Matewis: Beautiful! that's going straight to my playlist. The beginning immediately reminded me of something, but I couldn't think what. I think it reminds me a bit of the music of Outcast as well as Harry Gregson-Williams soundtrack for Kingdom of Heaven

Matewis: Much love for Titan AE! 'I'm in over my head' is one of my favorite late-90s-vibe songs
Ever played a Metroid game, their songs are brimming with Athmopshere:

Not really unfortunately, which I'll readily admit may be considered a gaming sin :P Some themes are clearly incredible, such as the Norfair theme, the beginning of which really works for me (and reminds me of something I can't think of right now)

Lately I've been listening to some HoMM3 town themes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSoPiffmSYU
Not all of them really, just the first two : Fortress and Stronghold.

Really love the Shadowrun Hong Kong OST.

'The Ancient Mirror' and 'Prosperity' are my favourites,but really the whole soundtrack rocks.

Orchestral version of Frog's theme:

Most overpowered frog in gaming history in action:

I've been playing Chrono Trigger recently :D

Frog and the Magus Castle dungeon is why people put this game on top of the RPG bracket (IGN placed this as #1 RPG of all time)

To celebrate the arrival of Elder Scrolls here, time to enjoy the best music in the series, Morrowind in perticular:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mUmqH1ZHW8&list=PL4BFF9D1A531D61ED

My favorite track Morrowind is this, it certainly has the feeling of going on an adventure:

Ooh those are dangerous links : it's the kind of music that makes me want to install Morrowind again :P
In that sense it's also a lot like the main theme from neverwinter nights

I would've liked to reply in kind by linking some Fallout music, but as awesome as the first two games are, they're not really big on music. It's mostly dystopian-sci-fi atmoshpere inducing 'music' which although incredibly effective, can't be described as epic.

Doom on the other hand : how is this anything other than EPIC!?! >:D

Aww man I'd love to hear a live rendition of this!

Beyond epic: "The Broadcast" by Don Davis, ending scene of the movie Antitrust (2001)

Would gladly post a link, but don't have enough rep yet.

You can get it from: www dot dondavis dot net slash films slash antitrust

Well I just found out that Square Enix released another Distant Worlds album with more orchestrations of Final Fantasy Music and man does it start off strong.

Hymn of the Fayth is arguably the best track of Final Fantasy X:

Interesting,very chanty :) Not quite my thing if I'm honest, though the other one you linked is absolutely beautiful.

Speaking of chant-y music, I'm reminded of the best game menu of all time. It's been linked once or twice before in this thread I'm sure

Speaking of that piece in Esperanto, I found the official soundtrack, not the cutscene from the game nor the Distant Worlds version:
