Certainly not me- I just haven't come across anything that fits my definitions of both epic and weird at the same time, except maybe for Heavyweight by Infected Mushroom, and that's still a bit debatable.

I'd have to say the most epic sound tracks I've encountered were for the games "Jade Empire", "Fable 1", and "The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion". I know Russel Shaw did Fable, and Jeremy Soule did Oblivion... I think the composer for Jade Empire was Jack Wall. They are the best game music composers I've run into.

Some really good ones from Jade Empire...

Here are a few from Fable...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7rWs92CK7k ... "Summer Fields"

And a few good ones from Oblivion...

I think game music has become one of my obsessions. Here's some more of the ones I've been listening to a lot lately.

Any of the MGS soundtracks are excellent -- arguably comparable to a movie.

One of my favorites is MGS3's opening theme by Cynthia Harrell:

OMG I just heard this song today, and it's one of the most awesome songs I've ever heard.

Mine's already been posted by Kimmy The music from Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice are amazing. Syphon Filter was good too.

The Halo series has pretty notable music. It probably goes without saying that any Star Wars game will have epic music
