Matt Uelmen’s works on the Diablo and Torchlight series are a real piece of art.
Tristram theme especially is an hymn a lot of gamers recognize from the first chords!
I do love the soundtrack of Heroes of Might and Magic series, especially II and IV by Steve Baca, Robert King & Paul Romero.
It is the kind of music I like to listen to while falling asleep…
As for more modern games, I literally fell in love with Bastion soundtrack, by Darren Korb, Ashley Barrett & Logan Cunningham.
The list goes on with (in no particular order): StarCraft + Brood War (Derek Duke, Jason Hayes & Glenn Stafford), Arcanum (Ben Houge), The Swapper (Carlo Castellano), Closure (Christopher Rhyne), Age of Empires series (Stephen Rippy), Planescape: Torment and Fallout 2 (Mark Morgan), the original Age of Wonders (Michiel van den Bos)…
