As a new dad, my little girl is turning 11 weeks old this Friday. I am looking to put together some music for her to listen to. At first I was going to do the cliche classical music, but I am thinking of putting together a mix tape of video game music for her. So any recommendations on awesome video game music....here is what I have so far.....

As someone who has listened to VGM to fall asleep for the past oh... 12 or 13 years now, I recommend just about any FF or Chrono soundtracks. Suikoden has some nice songs as well, throughout the entire series. Bad as the game was, FF7 Dirge of Cerebus has a nice OST as well. Wild Arms, another good one. Just comb through them and remove any songs that might shock someone awake...

Fair warning, once you start them on the path of listening to music while sleeping, they're likely gonna need it to ever sleep haha.

Forget the baby, I want this collection. Ha. I could listen to this stuff for years, so many memorable games and songs. Then when you tire of the originals (as if) there are remixes out the wazoo. Piano, Mario Paint, metal versions, the links above with the music box were a first.

Wow so many good choices in this. You can never go wrong with Nintendo brand schooling. I will always have this retrospect of 8 and 16 bit game deaths burned into my memory. It's has actually been on my music hard drive for years and I do not get tired of watching it. Good quality sound, tempo that play nicely with the fond memories of these smelly old games. :)
