Somebody already posted Donkey Kong Country's "Northen Hemispheres". My work here was done before I got here.
Best "Ice level" music?
- Thread starter Action Jack
- Start date
D'oh many have already beat me to Metroid Prime's Phendrana Drifts themes. The first one is so moving with that right balance of wonder and piece. It's definitely one of the themes I listen to often. The second theme is also a great fusion (not that Fusion) of ice and aquatic music themes, fitting since you're gonna get wet where it plays. (Both are also great soundtrack dissonance when Samus is facing those shegoth creatures that are 50% teeth or flying pirates.)
Ice Cap has great music, but like FF7, it gets so much exposure that it becomes overrated. (Hydrocity Zone beat all other Sonic 3 themes for me.)
I guess I'll add new suggestions:

The original them doesn't quite capture that ice level "vibe" without the visuals. But playing the game makes it fit, and remixes make up for it. Or you could go for X3's Blizzard(Bilzzard) Buffalo stage theme?
Wow, someone busted out some Croc. I think that's the ice theme for inside the caves. They made a lot of remixes that fit the level themes from only a few basic melodies. I really dug the desert themes.DizzyChuggernaut said:
Danm! All of the games I was going to mention have been mention, therefore I will go with an alternative. This is my favourite ice boss music!
A few of my favourites already mentioned, FFVI, Sonic 3, Jazz Jackrabbit 2. But my vote has to go to:
Well, here's some of my suggestions, not all of them ice world/stage but take'em or leave'em.

From Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix:
And just because "Ice" is in the title:

Whatever... It sounds "ice theme"-ish... To me...

If you're willing to go for a loop, try this Daggerfall track.
To me, it sends nostalgic tingles down the spine and has that echo which evokes some "mystical", archaic charm.

I personally like the above, i played that level so much i can't help but have a love for the music drilled into my brain.
I'll go with this one, from FFXII's Paramina Rift:
I loved entering this zone after such a long road getting there. Beautiful place, beautiful music.

The Winterhorn Ridge battle music from Odin Sphere is pretty good at conveying a struggle through frigid winds on a snowy mountain.
Meanwhile, the non-battle music is more grim and ominous.

{Metroid Prime} - Phendrana Drifts
{Secret of Mana} - "There is a Bell Tolling"
Those are the two I think of anyway. Something a bit more contemporary...
{Castle Crashers} - Snow World aka "Winter Bliss"

Well, if you want solemn, then have some Timesplitters 2. It still sends chills down my spine. Boy was I not ready to play that game when I did. Zombies freaked me the fuck out I tell ya.
And because this is immediately what popped into my head, the GREATEST ICE MUSIC EVER...possibly just music. Mutato Muzika was on point! *blasts music out of nostalgia headphones*

How could I forget to list this one? The HD remastered version is really good. But I don't think any remix or rearrangement has come out that can beat the original. There's just something about it, likely the subtle echo, that makes you feel like you are climbing a mighty, snowy mountain like Gagazet.SmallHatLogan said:
In fact, put this and the Phendrana theme from Metroid Prime in my top tier leitmotif folder.
here's a track from 9 that's a little more upbeat that can be adding to everyone's ice playlists.
