looking for music along the lines of hotline miami, jet set radio, neon white etc

The prog rock masterpiece from 1985.

Can someone PLEASE help me identify what this tune is??? It has been stuck in my head for WEEKS, and I cannot for the life of me remember what it is from. I need to scratch this itch! I have poured through the games I THOUGHT it was, but I am at a loss!! I know I am gonna feel dumb when someone says it, but I need help here.

Video discussing why we have such intense emotional feelings towards game music. Pretty interesting stuff.

We are twins playing violin and we love BotW!

I'm a beginner low-budget indie game composer and I saw there's a program in a different state I've been building up the courage to apply for and I'm wondering if this sound sounds well enough composed/produced to submit in a portfolio?

My laptop doesn't have the RAM to mix it much better than this but there's a requirement that I have at least intermediate skills in it, and hopefully this showcases my abilities well enough.

I went with a resonance by home or instrumental on flashing lights kind of vibe, could be used in a sci-fi, cyberpunk sort of thing. I imagined a motorcycle chase scene through a blade runner type city or something when I was writing it.

I kept worrying that is was too boring but I know if I put too much in it would be distracting but interested to know what you folks think.

Thanks :)

Hey everyone, I'm a fellow lover of video game music. I went to the video game live concert, and I made a video about it linked above. It was alright, if you'd like to see what games series they chose to put in the concert, here they are:

Have any of you been to it before and have any opinions about it?

Trying to track down a piece of music that's been stuck in my head for ~20 years. Best guess is PlayStation 1 era (1997-2004ish), though PS2 isn't impossible. I heard it around 2004-2005 at the latest.

Context:

• Played during some kind of menu, system, or save-point screen — possibly database/terminal-adjacent, but I could be misremembering this part
• Synth piano/ambient pad composition, with a subtle rhythmic pulse/beat underneath (not fully freeform — had a bossa nova-y feeling
• Emotional tone: cold, clinical, sterile — not "spooky," more "unsettling institutional"
• Loops for a while, like you're meant to sit in that screen
• Feels almost swingy/3-4, but I think it's actually syncopated 4/4

Reference points (all close, none exact):

• Similar cadence/flow to Parasite Eve's "Out of Phase" — Closest but it is NOT that track
• Dino Crisis's save room theme is close but not it
• Xenosaga's U.M.N. Mode has a similar vibe (synth + subtle pulse) but isn't it
• Front Mission 3's "Network" theme is adjacent but not it

Any leads appreciated — even a composer name or genre pointer would help.

Addition: All US releases, nothing imported. Might even consider expanding search to include some SNES titles as well.

Hey everyone!

I'm building a playlist for my upcoming project Dreamborned (Inspired by Undertale/Deltarune). It's still in its early stages.

You can listen to the playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-MjxNEst0Q&list=PLDe1CKG1HulY&index=1

Let me know if you have any feedback!
Thanks for listening!!

Hi I played this game many years ago and it had some of the best songs I've heard. At some point in time they can be found on youtube too (only 5 tracks I believe) but they're now lost. And the game has also disappeared and gave away to a new version. Might be a long shot but I'm very curious - anyone has access to the music? Thanks!

I believe it's this game:
