Ben Prunty - Floating Grasslands is cute.

dyF1.6 - Atomsphere is sick.

Disasterpeace - Lullatwerp is strange:

    long mad long ago we all lived carelessly you went on a killing spree why oh why did you decide to destroy mankind

CryingHorn - Inspirited Vitality

Food Pyramid - E-Harmony is for running.

Henry Homesweet - Palm Trance

I Come to Shanghai - The Loon

La la la

I used to listen to a podcast one of the two members of I Come to Shanghai was on.

Henry Homesweet, Jim Guthrie, Ben Prunty...where have you been all my life, Thundara?

I don't know how I never made this connection. Video game music is the best though! So many talented composers, and so little annoying lyrics.

Some real gems in here, thanks! I guess I should add bandcamp to the OK-list, but it's harder to come up with quantitative measure for if something's under-appreciated. Last link is a clear violation of this thread, though ;)

Haha, yeah, I looked up one game's album and it had <10 hits on what.cd. But on youtube? 226k. Obscurity is relative, I still remember /r/listentothis getting riled up over reposts of their favorite artists that obviously everyone had heard of.

Music suggestion is a strange game, but occasional people find a way to hit it off!
