• Torchlight OST [Sample]
  
• Diablo II OST [Sample] <(if you unpack the music folder, you get hundreds of AWESOME soundscapes too, like rain or jungle)
  
• World of Warcraft OST (I wouldnt play it but the music is good)
  
• Yoshida Brothers [Sample] Shamisen music, it's pretty awesome
  
• Machinarium [Sample] <(good Dream Plane music)
  

There is some more, but I forgot, will try to remember other ones!

I usually go to Music India Online and pick different genres to suit the game I'm working on or playing. You can make a track list from it and everything!

Just found this song in a video for returning military persons being reunited with their families. Its pretty cool!

Found a couple of new awesome soundtracks!

- The whole "Myst" series, from "Myst I" to "Myst V" Soundtracks [Sample] This particular track helped me a lot with imagining the atmosphere for a certain part of my campaign. Those are AWESOME for Shard background music in my eyes/ears!

- "Advent Rising" Soundtrack[Sample] <Not-so-great video game with damn-awesome-soundtrack!

- "Jade Empire" Soundtrack [Sample] Incidentally another great soundtrack by the awesome Jack Wall!

If you havent had a chance to check out Bombay Dub Orchestra, you should prolly do so.

Also there is some great Turkish music as well that fits nicely, although for the life of me I cant remember any titles without getting to my iPod, and then I'd be here all night.

So I second a Shard RPG CD of mood music and inspirational themed songs. And if that doesnt work, then I will add some actual titles that I use and try out those from others on this thread.

Only recently I remembered that I could use ambient pieces as "background music" for certain scenes!

For instance, at the beginning of the upcoming round there's going to be a huge storm! So I got myself some nice field recordings of a storm that I'll play (from here)

Here's another source where I got some of the ambient pieces:

quietamerican.org/

A truly awesome site belonging to "The Quiet American", who travelled Vietnam, Nepal and beyond while making a range of wonderful recordings!

I'm not sure about ambient pieces of jungles and so on that I find, there's a lot of bird sounds and such (a group of paksin exercising their voices, perhaps?)! ;D

I'm thinking of what sort of sounds would one hear in the rainforests and regular forests of Dárdünah!

Here's an ambience track of what a Rainforest on Dárdünah could sound like (may or may not be used in my campaign ;D ).
It's not perfect but I'm pressed on time. xD
I smacked it together using sounds from freesound.org, credits are all given in the ID3 Tag!
