Floex did the soundtrack for Samorost II, a Flash game, and it's very fun if you like his upbeat brand of orchestral-electronica.
The best game soundtrack to my ears is the 2½ hour version of Amon Tobin's Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory OST. There's also a 5.1 mix of this that I'm eager to try out once I set up a surround system.

Definitely have to agree with the Amon Tobin ST. Quite an interesting soundtrack to be sure. And Samarost has got to be one of best flash game's I've ever played, not to mention an amazing soundtrack.
I don't think anyone mentioned the Legend Of Dragoon OST done by Dennis Martin. It's one of my favorites, either through nostalgia, or just being damn good. It's my favorite JRPG soundtrack, IMO better than any FF soundtrack. FFX has it's moments such as Burning Sands, Seymour's Ambition, Lulu's Theme, Silence Before the Storm, etc.
One of the most overlooked games I've played was Psychonauts. Its soundtrack matched the wacky/dark/ridiculous/jaded feel of the game. Very odd, which is perfect for a person bored with the usual orchestral soundtracks.
The very first Ratchet & Clank game's soundtrack was fantastic. They never officially released it, but you can find all of the games soundtrack rips

It's lively, electronic, and very fitting to the nature of the game. Kyzil Plateau would be one of my favorites. It's the opening theme of the game; very playful, and very unique.
Logging Site Eudora, Gemlik Base, and Robot Plant Quartu's Main Themes are very good also. They all have a lot of atmosphere, and really helped shape the uniqueness of the game.
Edit: Have to agree with you on the Metroid games MaZa. Metroid II's soundtrack still haunts me. The ending theme just gets me all teary eyed every time I hear it! *sniffle*
