I am going through more shit, so this thread is a head space for me to post and share music that I really like, and hope other users enjoy it and discuss similar beats. My taste in music would not have been possible without OST’s that shaped my interest in these cool genres outside their movies, shows, and games. I hope one day to have RYM, Discogs, Spotify, volt.fm, and last.fm configured just right to reflect this, because some days I just can’t.

I won’t always have something to say because I prefer to let the song stand on its own, than to hype and build the expectation, but Breath of Fire III has a lot of story. It is one of the first OST that got me interested for jazz fusion and jazz-funk. It is no secret that I am burnt out from having played so many JRPG’s in my teens and twenties, but I try to beat Breath of Fire III once per year.
Breath of Fire III may not be as good as Breath of Fire II nor as ambitious as Dragon Quarter, it is very much in the first gen of 2D PS1 JRPG’s sold in 1997, but I like how much of it felt like a spiritual road trip. Much of the game feels like you are living in the world that survived a great disaster. You see parts that are secluded and wastelands where no one travels to.
There is always a great sea in the way or a great desert, keeping the population from interacting outside their biomes. It almost feels like you are in an Andrei Tartakovsky movie. The mediation about life and death.
It also has Momo. And Momo is the rabbit waifu for laifu. An RPG with her in it is better than another without her.

Some of the best jazzstep ever made for a video game is hidden away with a French developed licensed game for the PS1, for the Looney Tunes in 2001, based on the Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog shorts.

Before Afro Samurai, RZA did music (and cameod) for this Jim Jarmusch movie.
