So, I've been really trying to expand the music that I listen to lately, but I've hit a brick wall in terms of exploring.
I've tried using pandora and ambient.us and I end up in one of two problems.
I'd really like to dig into ambient, atmospheric celtic and/or new age music, and it's hard to find anything, really.
Pandora thinks that ambient is supposed to be really-slow-trance, or it's new age selection is far too unfocused.
Being a musical community, I'd hope OCRemix could help me out in this matter.
Here's a list of soundtracks that really hit home in the styles of music I'm looking into getting into and exploring.
Chrono Cross
-Scars of Time
-Another World
-Arnie Village
-Radical Dreamers
I enjoy these as they're emotional and relaxing at the same time, I can feel the movements through the song and I just find it a pleasure to listen to the melodies.
Sonic 3D Blast (Sega Saturn)
-Rusty Ruin Zone (Act 1 & 2)
Beautiful, haunting, immersive, deep, surrounding, emotional... So many words to describe it, and yet I can find nothing remotely similar =/
Riven
-Catherine's Theme
-Whark Room
-Moiety Theme
The hardest to find anything remotely similar, the whole soundtrack has such an "deep" and "surrounding" feel to it. A few songs by Tangerine Dreams sound somewhat similar, but there's not much other than that.
ECCO The Dolphin
-any songs really
-SEGA CD versions
-Defender of the Future
A few random songs
-Prelude (Final Fantasy X)
-Mystic Ruin Theme (Sonic Adventure)
-EgM's Sol Sanctum Guitar
Any of Sonic CD's NA OST. The guitar work is a big part of it, but the entire work's sound is very entrancing.
I know some of these aren't really in the same style, but I'd really like to get into something similar. If anyone can help me find similar music to these, I'd greatly appreciate it!
