I love these games and I think the soundtracks are underrated as an essential part of their appeal. I'll Start with one:

Tube of Medusa from Ecco2: Tides of Time.

Personally, I think the Sega CD version soundtrack is... fine, but it has a different composer. If I remember correctly, it;s the composer from the first Ecco. In my opinion, it's inoffensive, but completely forgettable.

EDIT: I have edited the topic to include older stuff.

In short: This was the first big title to do music for Yasunori Mitsuda. He poured everything into it and got sick. That's why Nobuo Uematsu helped him out finishing the project and wrote a few tunes alongside. Here a more detailed story what happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrono_Trigger#Music
