Listening to computer game soundtracks

[shoju]

I am not much of a fan of Soundtrack pieces. I have always wondered what the appeal was, so I've picked some up, and tried, but I guess I'm just missing out.

Movie soundtracks are a very different thing from game soundtracks. But, in general, they both share either a genre or a composer.

I was speaking mainly of game soundtracks. I just don't find them very compelling without the game visuals to add a frame of reference.
