I love the DKC music as well, and I learned of the jazz F-Zero covers through Benzaie at tgwtg.com.
Majora's Mask was never my favorite Zelda cause of the time mechanic, but everything else was my favorite in the series. It was so dark, and you're right, the music helped create the amazing atmosphere.
I like Sonic music from Adventure, cause it reminds me of cheesy Saturday morning tunes. haha.
And you got to meet the creator of GGX2 and Blazblue?! GGX2 was my favorite 2D fighter on PS2, possibly ever! ANd the music was so metal! Jealous.
