I liked listening to that track from Tales of Symphonia, I sometimes left the game running on those parts without doing anything just to listen to it longer.

Have awesome theme, will travel
Cars, trains, airships, buses, they're all modes of travel which we have in life, but they can also be found in video games. Many of us enjoy listening to music while we travel, but a lot of games contain music for traveling. Whether you're flying high above land in a spacious airship or across town in a bus, these are some of the best traveling themes in gaming. Well, these are ones that stick out to me. So sit back and enjoy these awesome traveling themes.
Blackjack from Final Fantasy VI/Composed by Nobuo Uematsu
I love this upbeat theme! Your head is literally in the clouds as you hear this theme play while you fly across the world map in FF6. The trumpets carry the melody most the time, with strings being the back up and a constant beat. It's one of the catchiest themes in the game, and one of the best traveling themes in gaming. 'Nuff said.
Traveling to a New Land from Legend of the Mystical Ninja/Composed by Kazuhiko Uehara and Harumi Ueko
What can I say about this song? It's so short but awesome. It has that arcade sound to it (which I love). Hearing it is one thing, but seeing the two main characters row their boat into the sunset is way better. The feel of the song is that you're traveling in style, and style is all over this one!
Aviators--Rhea Bird-- from Tales of Symphonia/Composed by Motoi Sakaraba
It's another upbeat flying theme! This one is actually an updated version of the flying theme from Tales of Phantasia, and I love it. It's catchy, adventurous, yet relaxing all at the same time. You'll never tire of hearing it; it's soothing in a way, and for that it's totally awesome!
Taking a Bus Ride from Earthbound/Composed by Keiichi Suzuki, Hirokazu Tanaka, and Hiroshi Kanazu
This theme has always stuck out to me in the Earthbound soundtrack. It sounds very shady. It happens to play when you get on a bus and ride through a tunnel full of ghosts (well, the first time; it plays anytime you get on a bus). You gotta love that bass! This is riding in style.
Space Travel from Jet Force Gemini/Composed by Robin Beanland, Graeme Norgate, and Alistar Lindsay
Rare games always have awesome soundtracks, and JFG is no exception. I think they used some kind of special sound enhancement chip because the quality of the instruments are better than typical N64 fare. This song is very adventurous and movie-like, and that's why it's awesome.
Flight from Xenogears/Composed by Yasunori Mitsuda
"Flight" and "Wings" are both awesome traveling themes, but Flight is a little more exciting, and for that reason, I chose it for this list. Once again, it's very adventurous, and the melody is awesome and memorable. Mitsuda is incredible when it comes to killer themes. This particular one gets stuck in my head all the time.
