I know that I'm pretty biased because I practically grew up with this game and its soundtrack, but I love both and consider the soundtrack to be one of the most influential "albums" ever for me. It's pretty simple, repetitive, and minimalistic electronic stuff -- it was made on an old QuickTime Quadrasynth in 1993-1994 by someone without much understanding of music -- but it still sounds every bit as pure, moving, and at times eerie ("New Pacific") today as it did several years ago when I first played the game and heard the music. It just goes to show that less is sometimes more. The soundtrack includes moods ranging from the edgy and upbeat to the downright dreary and lonesome, depending on the point in the game in which they're played.
Favorite track: "Splash", but "Swirls" and "Guardians" are good contenders
Least favorite track: "Fat Man"
