I just learned that the Mario Kart 64 (and 7) "winning results" theme is written in 11/8 time, and it really is such an amazing jazzy theme. I thought it was so interesting that the theme was written in such a progressive and jazzy time signature, especially when it probably didn't need to be. Take a listen to the track composed by Kenta Nagata
Does anyone know of any other fun or interesting time signatures in game soundtracks, or perhaps just differently styled scores in games?
Recently I was blown away by the prog-iness of Control's soundtrack, especially during the Ashtray Maze sequence. I just love it when game soundtracks go into more jazz influenced styles.
