Video Game Music composers

satsugaikaze:
Does this belong in the Computers and Video Games section or the Music Talk section? HOLY SH-*ASPLOSHUN*

List the composers you think do their job well. From any game! Obscure or not, just any game. And it can be any composer that has done music for a game, eg. Harry Gregson-Williams, who did tracks for a whole fackload of games but a fackload of movies too.

I like the most:

Harry Gregson-Williams
The Uematsu (although some overrate him a bit).


Obviously missed a lot but that's for the rest of you to go on about =D

Dimmukane:
David Wise (Donkey Kong Country, motherfuckers)
Kelly Bailey (Half-Life durr)
Steve Henifin (Silicon Knights' go-to guy)
Jeremy Soule (I know the way the music was implemented in Morrowind and Oblivion wasn't that good, but the music itself was pretty much a perfect fit)

mattgcn:
Grant Kirkhope was a fair replacement for David Wise for Donkey Kong 64.
Yoko Shimomura <3
Nobuo Uematsu
Koji Kondo

And to be wholly juvenile, I enjoy a lot of the Pokemon game's earlier music when it's sequenced with an orchestra like in Smashing, Live! (That Nintendo Power released Smash Bros concert)

Halo's music isn't bad either, though pretty much everything in Halo 3 was derivative of something in Halos 1 or 2..

Harun:
Kow Otani (Shadow of the Colossus) - dude made the music sound as epic as the game

parm:
Richard Jacques. Not only does he have a familar sounding surname, he is also a lovely man who did some amazing Sega soundtracks, including Sonic R and the hilarious Metropolis Street Racer soundtrack. And also, I got drunk with him after ECTS one time and then he did the soundtrack to the videogame we were working on at the time. The game turned out to be rubbish, but the soundtrack was still awesome.
