Some are better than others, of course, but that's a lot of the workshop themes from the Atelier games. On the ones that let you change the background music, I often set it to Atelier Iris's theme, since that's one I quite like. I've listened to Mana Khemia's theme a fair amount, too. The one's before Atelier Iris are mostly from games that didn't get translated to english, so I've heard those rather less.

The Atelier games are generally fun, since they are all centered around alchemy...

Also, if it gives you any idea, in that list, Marie & Ellie were PS 1, Lilie to Mana Khemia 2 were PS 2, Rorona to Sophie were PS 3, and beyond is 4-5. A lot of the 3+ ones are ported to other systems as well, including pc. (And I think there might are misc ports/remakes? Mana Khemia wound up on PSP too...)
