Some game soundtracks you may not have heard:
It's all good, but tracks 1, 2 and 5 are the best.
Now most of the soundtrack is atmospheric (very, very good, but not really appropriate for this thread) but there are a few more standard tracks.
So you're watching the population be devoured... But at least it's to good music!
Most of their music are scores made specifically for movies or games; the exception being the 'Illusions' album which was a personal project for Bergersen.CrazyGirl17 said:
Awesome stuff; it was actually somebody here on The Escapist that lead me to them from another music thread so keep it coming guys.
Other music I like includes..
Im a very big fan of instrumental music so post-rock is a perfect fit for me though there are some special musicians outside of the genre that also catch my attention.
And please, don't listen to just one of my songs and move on, I did try to get a decent variety of different sounds when selecting which to post in this thread.
Okay keep the thread going? Hmmm....bahumat42 said:Thank you for that playlist some real tunes on thereFieldy409 said:

Heres some Lindsey Stirling, a hip hop violinist with crazy skills to dance and play at the same time.Cute as a button too! Shes gone a bit viral with crystalise but I like some of her older stuff better.
Watch the shadow!
Crystalise has made her way more famous than she was. Its how I found out about her.
Vegeta! What does the scouter say about the cutness level?
Oh and heres a dubstep song I liked, soon to be a free download if they lose the contest they are in.
Well hey, there was a lawsuit over the Joe Satriani thing (fun fact: google's spellchecker wants me to correct "Satriani" to "Satanist", maybe it's telling me something). The verdict was coincidence. This youtube comment on the video sums up my thoughts:Scrumpmonkey said:Viva La Vida? You mean "If i could Fly" By joe SatrianiOhJohnNo said:
On the subject of the song; Its called not being passed through a billion studio filters to take the actual sound out of it. It sounds ugly because Coldplay is essentially the equivalent of over Photoshopped music, no character to it. Perhaps listening to some more live music is in order.
I can see a little bit of resemblance in the main riff (though only a little bit), but neither sounds very much like a rip-off to me. What is it with
And by the way, I have listened to Live music. Reading Festival 2011 was one of the best experiences I've ever had, Muse are just totally brilliant live (as were Warpaint [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMkqbY0oGKQ], it turned out, despite never having heard of them before). Yet more reason to love them.
Don't get me wrong, though, I like Radiohead. Sometimes. The Bends, OK Computer, Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows are all great - they all provide songs which aren't afraid to involve themselves emotionally, like Street Spirit, Nude, most especially Exit Music (though I would say Coldplay actually top this with things like Amsterdam [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vblNj75hUpM] and especially Easy to Please [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiiOpHEAda4]). And Hail to the Thief is the most successful example of musical atmosphere-building I know of, even greater than OK Computer - it goes beyond "depressing" and actually becomes downright oppressive, which is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness (I need to be in a rather resilient mood to listen to it). It's just a shame about their other 4 albums, which basically sound (with the odd exception [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAF8D0ugyVk]) like nothingness made into noise to my ears. Except Pablo Honey, which everyone agrees is just crap.
And after all that, the song links in the small wall of text above still make this post on-topic. Cool.
