Video game soundtrack, sans video game.Cicada gives us two albums Technology Crisis, and Technology Crisis 2. Not that this is that unique, even Mefi's are getting into the act.

See also Video Game: The Movie: The Game: The Original Soundtrack (with elaborate backstory somewhat reminiscent of Poag's 'Propaganda' work.)

Oh, this looks cool. Thanks!

And I can't let a video-game music post pass by without mentioning The Protomen -- a rock opera based on Mega Man III that is actually genuinely moving and excellent.

Sounds pretty sweet. Also check out DisasterPEACE if you're into this kind of thing.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention Machinae Supremacy, a synth-heavy alt-rock band that is very inspired by video game music. Also: The Minibosses, now with an extra-retro website.

Excellent post, thanks. I know what I'll be annoying my coworkers with today.

Oh thank you! I NEED music like this right now.

I thought about mentioning this earlier, but there was another really good post on videogame music a couple years ago. It was a little different, as the linked music was all covers, but here it is. Nice stuff, especially Saskrotch.
