Orchestral music played on instruments that have existed for thousands of years, in a style that's existed for hundreds: "Finally, a modern sounding ost!" so-true

You have stuff like the NES era FF that gets translated into banger orchestra suites like this that really make you appreciate the solid foundation and the limitations of the day.

When I was trying to stay sane on the ship I was editing and remastering MIDI files with custom HQ soundfonts and I really grew to love ye olde style and the possibilities it had.

You should check out some of the "Demake" stuff of Uematsu. it's all the solid foundation of the artist. Having like modern Advent Children remake in ye olde font holds ups I think.

You might like Fantasian. that's heavy synth instruments.

Then you have over the top over productions that aren't very cohesive and equavalent to mish mash. Many things aren't memorable. Especially movies or big budgets. Indie studios is where the art is allowed to live.
