I know you probably love a dozen tracks, please pick one, thank you in advance.

EDIT: Thank you all so far, especially everyone who kept it to one. I am at work currently and will make my way through the list but may not get a chance to thank you individually. I am checking them all out though and appreciating it.

The album this track is on is amazing as a whole. It's like a musical journey around the world. It's a beautifully cohesive album start to finish.

If you like chiptunes, "the moon" from DuckTales does a great job at instilling a sense of adventure. If chiptunes aren't your thing, here's an orchestral version

Unreal Tournament Soundtrack - Foregone Destruction (Facing Worlds) Wait until the DnB kicks in. Monster Kill

[โ€“] ignism@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The complete OST has to be my go to music for when I need that extra push. Such bangers.

"The only thing they fear is you" from Doom Eternal

[โ€“] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

The Spine - Transistor OST.

There's 3 versions, though... The soundtrack version with lyrics, the game instrumental, and the humming version.

Most of the tracks in the game have at least 2 versions, music is kind of a central theme of the story.

Anything Hollow Knight

In particular

My Only Chance - The Toxic Avenger https://youtu.be/SeAAi7jWOl8

It's a fucking hard call though because there are a lot of great picks out there - Doom does amazing metal and Hotline Miami has a legendarily good soundtrack... but Furi takes the cake for me personally.

[โ€“] anti@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Great choice. I've got this album on vinyl and it's excellent from start to finish.

Halo 2 OST - Impend

If you want the version with a little more oomph, there's a remaster version. I listen to this for coding.

We All Lift Together from Warframe.

Absolute banger and perfect for wageslavery.

Slinger's Song - from the game Bastion

I heard this song first on this Sauerbraten race-vid, I haven't played the original Bastion game.

Anything from the Loop Hero OST is awesome, but I favor Loop Hero - Loop Blues the most.

What kind of music do you listen to at work? Like high energy vs chill focus music?
