Thread for music tracks that are used like for five seconds or in one room that you spend no time in (not battle themes)

[Orange Fluffy Sheep]

Digital Devil Saga has, like, lobby themes for the other territories before you go into the dungeons proper, so getting to listen to them very long is rare.

Manipura here, it's rare to get to the pick-up in the tempo, much less to the solo at 1:26 even when chatting with people.

Cyberpunk as hell. Used in literally one room, because Kasumigaseki is a one-room bunker.

I can only guess by the track name (that's Bat's atma) that it has something to do with his first cutscene when you fight him at Manipura

but damn that's way more sinister than the jobber deserves

[Perpetual Motion]

This is the one that will always stick out to me:



It only plays on an empty one-screen long bridge, and I actually stopped and walked back out of the castle to listen to it when I realized that it didn't play inside.

Apparently the video I posted was made private in the last day or so, so I fixed it

[Jill]

i just remembered this one which i think only plays a little bit in one of the first cutscenes

This background music for the Tower is really nice.

This song plays only after entering Cynthia's room and before actually fighting her, and it's one of the best things to come out of the DS.

Part of its imposing atmosphere is that it is the music for goddamn Cynthia and is the prelude to that fucking Garchomp, but damn!

That piano lead-in is so iconic that it got a 50/50 share of Cynthia's remixed battle theme in the Pokemon Masters gacha game:



Considering that most every other champion theme remixed thus far is extremely straightforward in terms of the song it is adapting, that says a whole lot about how damn great that piano bit is.

It's only used in a few repetitive cutscenes in SMT4 indicating you're done doing quests at that particular town, and twice in SMT4A during fake conclusion celebrations.

It only plays in cutscenes, and the audio mixing in this game is weird as fuck and Elma never shuts the fuck up about some bullshit or other whenever it is playing, so you never really get to hear it.

this plays in a level that is basically just a shortcut betweeen 1-1 and 3-3, and is typically cleared in a matter of seconds so you don't get to hear the most bangin' parts. if you're in the discord you can see a clip of it here: https://discord.com/channels/1739445916 ... 8545945741

i can't believe i never posted this one



this might be my single favorite track from RO and it plays on a map with no monsters or NPCs or points of interest whatsoever. it's essentially just an empty hallway connecting Umbala with Niflheim

[Jill]

for good measure, here's a track that isn't even used at all! you just have to find it hanging out in the game's BGM folder

[Jill]

okay here's one more that i just remembered is only used for some out-of-the-way quest that nobody ever does

[Jill]

oops there's another one similar to the above, plays very briefly during some quest and then is never heard again



SoundTeMP was always known for making tracks that are bouncy and fun to listen to, but they do the moody stuff just as well
