Gran Turismo 7 (the videogame) has some great ambient house tracks by a guy named Lenny Ibizarre. Balearic with dark undertones, they remind me of GLOK. Gran Turismo continuing its tradition of amazing soundtracks! Still keeping in tradition with the original games back on the PS1. As mossy notes above, the 90s were a fantastic time for electronic music, probably the golden age of it. But another reason for its widespread popularity was its usage in video games, including the original Gran Turismo from 1998 which I had as a kid. I wonder where my fondness for electronic music comes from and I honestly think its an unconscious sense of nostalgia. Growing up as a kid playing the PS1, there's so many games that had great electronic soundtracks, the most famous being Wipeout. Even going back before then, limited technology was still maximised with some incredible Sega Mega Drive soundtracks, my personal favourite growing up was Streets of Rage and the soundtrack I still remember to this day! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_the_Streets_of_Rage_seriesSo much of this kind of stuff influenced electronic and hip-hop artists further down the line. There was also the PS1 game Music2000 that allowed you to create your own dance tunes, and allowed sampling from your own CDs! That went over my head so it was too complicated for me but I recently looked at YouTube to find artists using it to make their own tracks. There's a real genius to old video game soundtracks. Imposed limitations because of what is now primitive technology, a lot of the soundtracks really used those limitations to their advantage in creating banging electronic tunes. Nowadays, video games can easily replicate film soundtracks, but less is more, and I miss the ingenuity of the electronic composers who pushed their technology to the limit. |

Yes boss, the Streets of Rage soundtracks bang so hard. Sonic 3 too. Wipeout / PS1 were marketed to ravers on a comedown. 🦔 |

If you like metal / industrial and games, check out Mick Gordon’s Doom 2016 soundtrack. Brilliant mix of electronic and metal. And ambient.
🤟

Also, sorry I thought I'd shared the original theme to Streets above, this is it in all it's glory. Top quality! |

Does anyone know any darker ambient in the vein of Bass Communion? I'm in love with the darker side

Does anyone know any darker ambient in the vein of Bass Communion? I'm in love with the darker side Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol II? Apart from a couple of nice tracks (1 & 3), the rest are quite weird and unsettling. “Like doing acid in a power station” according the man himself. |
