For instance my in game music folder currently contains this album:
Biosphere: N-Plants

I always keep the legends intro theme as default becuase I love it. the other music in the game is good too but becomes too repetitive after a few hours.

SO lets see it what do you guys listen to?

I'm pretty varied, but I generally listen to rock while playing...just sets the mood.

Some examples from my soundtrack:
Under a Red Sky
Akat Mountains
Surplus of rare artifacts
Hidden Mementos
Exploration
Long way ballad "Space trucker theme" as I like to call it.

I like good rock and heavy too, but SciFi games need proper ambient music if you ask me.

Company/Music Group:
Two Steps from hell (Songs: Freedom Fighters, Invincible, etc. Theyt got tons of beautiful music to listen to and admire...latest album nero is fantastic)
Audiomachine (Unfinished life, etc)
Epic Music
Brand X Music
Groove Addicts

All great. Very motivational and just overall quite moving.

Don't get me wrong. I like my music but endless loops of it during games sends me gaga. If I want music I'll put on a cd or turn on the radio.

When I buy a game what I want is a game to play - not fancy video cutscenes, not slick muzak, not flashy graphix or sexy pow-pow noises... Trouble is I usually get a sh*t load of these and very little game.

p.s. J HG T loved the space trucker ballad - same mob that does the Cities in Motion soundtrack if I'm not mistaken.

I am using good themes from Galactica Civilization 2, deep space exploration is really stunning.

Here few epic soundtracks can use...

There are so many of them, some good ones i have recorded myself and cant seem to find it. Keep looking maybe you will find what you are looking for, it may take awhile to put all this together. By the time you finish your project, would be a masterpiece of your work while playing.

good luck

The music that is packaged in Baleur's mod made by AlienHand is excellent, if you like something that is mostly ambient then the cold/desolate theme is a superb fit.

Anything by John Serrie is also great in a similar vein, mostly atmospheric but also very musical and he's made countless albums and work for some of the biggest companies around. Check out something like this. I hit upon him by chance, I had no idea who he was.

and i play music like this....

Here's one song from the album...you GOTTA check it out if you like something a bit....different.

In my most recent epic game, I've gone down a more folk route, listening to the Fleet Foxes and Neil Young. But it doesn't really feel the same

AlienHand is really good too.


Even if some of the rock music is in my humble opinion bit out of theme for DW its still good to listen to it in other contexts.

And all the suggestions are very good as well thanks guys I will spend the next weeks going trough each of them one by one! I dont have a set preference or style that I am looking for, just post whatever you like and you feel fits with the game. The more choices you have the better you are off its always good to try out something new.


Keep em coming! (ill post some of my other stuff later on)

But sometimes I start up Bolero from Maurice Ravel on repeat (it´s ~17min). That´s so relaxing while exterminating the other races.

And sometimes Imperial March from John Williams.

Both above mentioned played by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
