Favorite music from Rare games

It's no secret Rare had magnificent composers backing them, no joke. Wise, Kirkhope, Beanland, -- all those guys. And they all made fantastic music. Share some of your favorites from their boatload of games they made.

I'd show you mine but it's late at night. I'll do later.

Too many to list, so I'll just put some from the most underrated Rare OST in my opinion: Perfect Dark.

Everyone loves Chicago, Carrington Institute, Pellagic II, End Credits, Maian Tears. But there are so many other great tracks in this game. It's Grant's best work in my opinion.

This is one of my favorites. Absolutely epic, 1:30 - 2:00 still gives me chills.

Also great and I never see any praise for it.

I'm a sucker for first level songs, and this is no exception. So many layers of tension and darkness.

Not a lot of titles are as successful as Perfect Dark in capturing the atmosphere of the game and replicating it through its music. Grant absolutely nailed it with this one.

100% agree.

Also, have a listen to this, it's a pretty good remastering of some Perfect Dark tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrUuW9V5tCg
I just he had done some "X" versions too, or the Air Force One levels tracks, but it's still amazing.

That's pretty cool. And it says "part one", so it looks like he intended to make more. It's been 3 years now, probably never gonna happen.
