What are some of the most beautiful songs that came out of the SNES sound chip? Here's one that I discovered a while ago.

This truly was the COD of FFs, but you gotta admit that it had a really good OST.

Chrono Trigger has a lot of great tracks. Here's Corridors of Time.

Great theme. As a kid I always confused the Secret of Mana theme with the slow part of the Lavos fight music.

It was made by Square Japan though.
It was made FOR the american market.

I still like it though and I'm not even american.
And thank god for that.

There has never been an RPG that felt like more of a mind-blowing immersive adventure than Chrono Trigger did for me, and it's largely thanks to that god-tier score.

This song uses only 5 of the 8 sound channels available for the SNES.

Follin truly was a god of whatever sound chip you gave him. Compare the crap that is the SNES Doom soundtrack to this, and the difference is astounding. That is how you fucking do a SNES guitar.

Also, here's some of my personal picks:

Sacrifices, from ActRaiser:

Dear Friends, from Final Fantasy V:

Kirby Super Star save room.

I honestly have this in my Top 5 best SNES tracks. (Water levels in DKC1 is my #1, forgive the cliche.)

[Anonymous No.1034441]

Pretty much any song from Secret of Evermore. It doesn't even sound like the music is coming from the cartridge, it's so clear and crisp. It's also ludicrously atmospheric.

You should check out Follin's work for other systems. What he was able to squeeze out of them is incredible.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-D24A_N4d4

Chronos from the ZX Spectrum as just an example. He was able to squeeze all of this out of a 1-bit beeper.
