Music recommendations similar to Fez Soundtrack - General Discussion

#1 Posted by klinkcow (219 posts) - 3 months, 27 days ago

Hey Guys,

I recently starting listening to the fez soundtrack, by Disasterpiece, while I'm at work. It's just soothing and engaging enough to let me concentrate and get into a "zone." Does anyone know of any similar artists or albums?

Amanaguchi

Jim Guntrie

DVA and the Botanicula soundtrack.

That soundtrack reminded me most of the music in Blade Runner.

@klinkcow: Dustforce has some great music, and it's mostly relaxing. (You should totally just buy the game+soundtrack btw)

DJ Cutsman is a pretty good chiptune music maker. Some of it is more relaxing than other parts though, so it might be advantageous to create a custom playlist. Also: Get the Wii U grooves album, very chilled out.

Might I recommend the VVVVVV soundtrack?

Seriously, Maybe it's the fact that I don't dabble in chiptunes too much, but I've never heard of this guy and it's awesome. He does a pretty rad Deadmau5 cover too!

@klinkcow

No one mentioned Boards of Canada? Disasterpeace even said they were an influence. It's not chiptune, but the same mood.

I kinda want to keep this open, just in case anyone has any more recommendations... everything mentioned has been fantastic!

Maybe The Album Leaf. At least consider listening to some samples.
