Seeking Looking for games with really good music

I normally play games found on this site with the sound turned off because, let's be honest here more often than not, it's the same tired default asset music from the game dev engine or the same handful of tracks off the front page of the first google result for "Free royalty free game music downloads" and after the first dozen games using that stuff, well, it becomes boring.

So, yeah... I usually play with the music off, that is until this one time I forgot to do that and found this RPGM game with a relative (to most other porn games) banger of an opening theme and some pretty decent background music.

So, my request to all of you out there: What Ero game would you say has the best/your favourite soundtrack? (no, sex sounds and moaning doesn't count for this unless it's accompanied by other musical instruments)

Bonus Internet High-five Points if this music is not fantasy orchestral music or Japanese genki girl idol pop.

This one, simply because it uses tracks that have been pinched from elsewhere. It makes good use of them, at least. I doubt you'll find much quality original music in western ero-games.

Downloading now to check it out, thanks for the recommendation.

It's sad that more games don't pay attention to sound design. I get the argument that the devs don't bother because people don't really listen so there's little pay-off, but this looks to me like a vicious cycle thing where people don't listen because no work gets put into it either, and someone needs to break that cycle. Imho, it's not the players that can break the cycle because shitty sound design is shitty whether you listen to it or not.

I love trying to match music to moment; I did a little video about it this weekend for Love of Magic.

That's some really awesoem stuff, especially since I'm an avid metalhead and lover of folk and symphonic metal!
Definitely going to look at this game asap
If you love metal and folk-metal, definitely check out Alexander's stuff; amazing artist, and gives away all his music royalty free.

I really enjoyed the soundtrack in Rance 1 - Quest for Hikari (the remake/remastered version). Classic Japanese non-RPGM game music. I've heard that other games in the series also have good music, but I am just getting started on the series.

Oh man, I remember pirating that one back when I first discovered professional ero games, a little after I first learned about the Fate/Stay Night translation by MirrorMoon and Bible Black in the same forum thread. I think this was a year or two before they released the Rance remake... Good times...

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out
