Haven't seen it mentioned yet, so I also want to raise a toast to the wonderful music of SimCity 4.

Yes, such an amazing soundtrack. When it was new, I mistook it for a new Aphex Twin album at least twice while my roommate was playing it.

If you love SimCity 3k/4 music, it is made by Jerry Martin and saxophonist Marc Russo.

A few great links for you: http://jerrymartinmusic.com/music_demo.php On this demo page website, you can find some original jazz samples not included in SC3k even though they are quite amazing

http://boombamboom.com/ Some website Jerry Martin opened a few years ago where you can download high-quality music from the games he worked on (Sims, Sim City etc)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1467440/SimCasino_Soundtr... Sim Casino is a way more recent game, and Jerry Martin / Marc Russo came back together to write the OST! It has a lot of feels from SC3k/SC4 music, so you might want to look into it.

You can also find one of their interviews here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1158420/view/4689895...

As you can see I am quite the fan... :-)
