What soundtrack did take you by surprise?

I usually listen to anime/games soundtracks when I am working in a project, and recently I started listening to Nickelodeons Avatar Aang & Korra/The Last Airbender. And boy, they did some work on these soundtracks. Amazingly well executed with unexpected rhythms.

There is a bunch of them on youtube, here's the following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7QhIwQVugo&list=PLVoHsV6PNh-_gJvALJtLO1nwja6dIh9dB&index=5

Please, post your favorite soundtracks!

The soundtrack for Shadowrun: Dragonfall was fantastic.

Heroes of Might and Magic IV, a failed game with some amazing pieces.

Snow theme:

Menu music from Nuclear Throne

One of the better tracks from Nox (Frank Klepacki):

Sacrifice

Sacrifice - Pyro's Realm

C&C: Red Alert may have won Soundtrack of the year award, but Tiberian Sun is also very good. Almost 2 hours of interesting, very atmospheric electronic/industrial/ambient (Frank Klepacki). One of my all time favourites. Rather subtle and not for the impatient.

A very good chiptune from Space Phallus (if you like it it's downloadable for free, google souleye and retrotune)

I could go on.

Nice, something saved the game.

Also from the PS2 era, Persona 3 had some amazing soundtrack. Men, I sunk over 200 hours into that game, it was one of the best Jrpg i've played.

Airbender definitely has some awesome tunes!

I know there's some amazing stuff out there, but the only thing I can think of right now is The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

Really ? I watched the movie yesterday and I don't remember the soundtrack.

Here's the intro music from The Pirate Movie (1982). The movie is crap, but the soundtrack is very catchy. Polish people know it as the intro of "Morze" - an old TV show about sailing.

Also very catchy, a song from the animated version of Lord of the Rings. Where there's a whip, there's a way!
