MP3 music recommendations

[Keith O]

Can anyone recommend songs to use in my arcade cab for when I have the jukebox playing? I'm thinking of arcade/console game theme music and/or remixes of those classic songs from video games. I hope that made sense. I have one called something like "powerpill" (I wish I could remember the name) that is based on pac man and it's a great tune. Any others I should look into?

Also, can anyone recomend any sites that I might find these on?

Try looking at some of the music from the 80's. Things like theme tunes from TV and films that are primarily electronic. Things I can think of off the top of my head are:

Miami Vice Theme
Airwolf Theme
Pretty much anything by ELO
Some Jean Michel Jarre might not go amiss either

But that's just my choice. As to where you can get them, your local music shop should stock the CDs which you can then rip to MP3

It's all console stuff, but there are a lot of good remixes at http://remix.overclocked.org/index.php
I have also found several good songs at mp3.com. Unfortunately, I don't know of any arcade music sites.

Some of the music from some old Commodore 64 games is fantatsic.

Try and look for the music to Thrust or Commando. Failing that, anything by Rob Hubbard

Agreed, C64 music is some of the best you can get.  More commonly available in SID format than MP3's though.

I may be looking into SID support for my FE, since I like the C64 sounds so much

www.system16.com has some cool Sega MP3's like Outrun, Hang On, After Burner etc.

Thanks guys! Those recommendations are exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks again!
