I read this article this morning and thought it was excellent. Don't be put off by the fact it's about computer game music because I think you may be quite surprised by the amount of invention and the innovation that has gone into it over the years. The sound and video clips are very interesting too. www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/top_scores_video_game_music

I was bought an album of music from Halo a few years ago, for my birthday. I never play computer games but I must admit the music was good and easy to listen to.

Did you guys actually read the article? I found it very interesting, especially as a (sort of) musician.

I skimmed it as I can't get up any enthusiasm for computer games.

Listening now Seems such an odd thing Can see what they are doing.
Musical purist part of me says this must not happen.
Another part of me says yes, let's have loads more music on games and hopefully drag the gamers into music
Do the same pieces come up constantly ? That would be a pain and could put you off the game

It's a nice article. As a fan of VGM, I got the majority of the references, which probably helped. Nice to see two of my favourites - Streets of Rage, and Quake - get mentioned. I'll happily listen to each of these on their own:
My daughter is very keen on the music from the Legend of Zelda games - gets requested daily. I've thought that when she's a little older I'll take her to see done live by an orchestra:
