I have to agree with that. I'm not a person with a lot of appreciation for music, but Klepacki's work in the C&C franchise just fits really well with the games. Aside from that, the battle themes for CnC Generals were pretty good, too. I particularly like "USA Battle Theme 1" and "China Battle Theme 1"
I don't know Klepacki had anything to do with those, but I thought they were pretty good.

Shogun Total War has a great OST
[/QUOTE]

I never played Shogun but I think some of the battle soundtracks from Medieval and Empire games are great, so it wouldn't surprise me if Shogun was good too. I feel the same way about Homeworld. The battle soundtracks were great but sitting through forty minutes of the "nothing is going on" soundtracks while you mine resources after you've killed everyone but before you make a jump were just punishing. I think an industrial-sounding track would have been more interesting. I mean, the music wasn't bad for the setting, but when it was combined with the extremely tedious wait for resource vessels to make their trips and the repeat of the same track, it got really boring. Thank God for the "quick harvest" option in Homeworld 2.

I loved the music from HOI II. The track "War" was particularly awesome when it happened to synch up with a major offensive:
It becomes particularly awesome at 2:08

The ones I can think of right now are Crimson Skies, Arcanum and Homeworld.

EDIT: Oh, and some of the C&C games too.

Not all the tracks were very good, but some were quite awesome.

Guitar Hero

Flat Out 2 has got some great music.

And of course Command and Conquer: Red Alert

Edit: Oops! This thread is about OST, while GH and FO2 are hardly "original" sound tracks

ah well, they're at least very good!

Don't know if it really counts, but the atmospheric music from the TES games can be quite enchanting.

*Oh right, .

Oh yeah

Also C&C, some of the Call of Duty games (MW2 was scored by Hans Zimmer), gawd there's so many I like. EndWar has some great backround-actiony music, I put that on all the time when I play games. Fracture (from Lucasarts awhile back) also had some good music, but they never released the soundtrack
