Apparently the Solstice music was done by one Tim Follin, who also did the Pictionary music that was also mentioned here.

The title track from Shadowgate is awesome.

If you’re into nixing the treble, Super Glove Ball’s whole soundtrack goes bass only when you pause the game.

I'm guessing that this is paused.

SNES recommendation: Super R type has a killer soundtrack.

"HD" version; not clear to me how this was generated:

MIDI-sequenced remaster from some project to create MIDI versions of SNES music:

But also the theme for the first area in Crystalis has stuck with me for ages.

Assuming that this is the cave, which it sounds like from this walkthrough:

Chrono Trigger - Main Theme

Note that this is SNES.

An orchestral remix, I believe rendered with some MIDI synth; the artist here appears to have done two CDs:

I'd go with as-yet-undiscovered scientific knowledge. Your predictions might alter historical events, but they shouldn't change the way nature operates.

SNESdrunk

Given that we're talking about "relaxing music", my first hit on Kagi for "SNESdrunk ost" is this and it looks apropos:

Is that it? If it is, I suspect that from the sound quality on the first song, what they're doing is taking someone's MIDI file representing the SNES soundtrack and then rendering it using a newer soundfont.

I don't much like music rendered with FM synthesis myself, the way the original NES sound hardware worked


not a chiptunes fan


but I do keep around some old game MIDI files and listen to them with synthesis using newer soundfonts.
