Er, isn't a good part of Metroid Prime's soundtrack either ambient or remixes of (or at least based on) tracks from previous Metroid games? The prologue theme, Magmoor Caverns and Vs. Meta Ridley are obviously remixes, and I'm pretty sure that so are the title theme, the initial Tallon Overworld theme and Vs. Parasite Queen. Some also say that the Impact Crater is a remix of Tourian from the original Metroid, though I personally can't see the resemblance. (Probably because the Impact Crater theme is just... well, noise, as far as I'm concerned)
Not saying that Metroid Prime doesn't have some very strong original pieces of its own.
OT:
Three games instantly come to mind.
ActRaiser:
Filmore
Sacrifices
Bloodpool/Casandora
Chrono Trigger:
Corridors of Time
Tyranno Lair
Yearnings of the Wind
Mega Man X:
Central Highway
Fortress Tower
Palace Grounds
Can't really decide which I like the most. Chrono Trigger's soundtrack is much more extensive and diverse than the other two, but it also has more forgettable pieces.
