One thing the Atari ST could always do brilliantly was MIDI music, and the single best known (and possibly best) piece of MIDI software is none other than the C-Lab Notator. An excellent sequencing and scoring program, you can grab via this eBay auction. It is in its complete original form with ring bound manual in hard case, 3.5" floppy and of course the dongle. The seller ships worldwide and you can find out more about the Notator here.
Though never a fan of Final Fantasy -let alone the madly popular FFVII- I must admit its soundtrack is interesting; really good even. Anyway, you true fans can grab it on CD here if that's your thing.
Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of its release, a recent upsurge in the fascination with the Commodore 64 (not just as a retro game computer) has fueled compelling interest for the C64 as an instrument in the dance-scene. Micromusic and productiehuis ON have combined forces and invited members of the Dutch Ricciotti ensemble. Together with conductor Bas Wiegers they have founded the C64 Orchestra, that focused its on the music heard on the C64. For this project Micromusic and ON approached two of the most experienced C64-composers of the 1980s namely, Rob Hubbard and Jeroen Tel. Run 10 finds the C64 Orchestra performing their music, with scoring done by Rob Hubbard. This 2 disc set is packaged in a replica of the original Commodore floppy case. The first disc contains the orchestral versions of the original tunes; the second disc contains the original game tunes themselves, plus interviews with Rob Hubbard and Jeroen Tel and more for C-64 aficionados. You can buy Run 10 over @ Amazon.com
