Are you listening to music just from games you've played, or game music in general?

I do listen a lot to music from games, movies and series for that emotional boost, but it always has to be something I've already played/watched and engaged with emotionally in the past. The music doesn't generate new emotions in me, it pulls on the past experiences. Listening to arbitrary soundtracks wouldn't work on me.

Ah yes, I'm heavily into chillstep and liquid dnb.

My favorites:

Chillstep, no good mixes but I've got some tracks I really like to get you started (if you're into this sort of thing).

di.fm has a chillstep channel that is my go-to.

I also listen to music from games/movies I've never played/seen.

Sometimes I do get the emotional boost from music I've never heard before, but most of the times it is from games I played a long time ago.

I'm guessing that music plays a large role in the emotions passed when playing games or watching movies.

Have you heard the album "Sun" before? It's by Thomas Bergersen, and it's quite amazing. I'd recommend Empire of Angels if you just want to listen to one song.

Quite ethereal, and though I've never seen the movie, I love the soundtrack.
