Lately: Propellorheads, Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ian Pooley, Fatboy Slim, Amon Tobin, Hikari from Kingdom Hearts, Overseer, Ayumi Hamasaki.

I think one of the radio transmission sounds (when a cv group is spotted) is taken from the movie "Midway" when Strawberry 5 radios in that they've "sighted main body."

I've got a few of the Victory at Sea mp3's and they are great for WitP. If anyone's interested, I got mine from:

Victory at Sea Theme Music

Of course if you don't already have it, the DVD's would make a nice Father's Day gift, better start dropping hints

Nice choice of music

Just add Holst The Planets particularly the fist movement Mars the Bringer of wars and Carina Burana and the collection is complete

I'm VERY sorry for this, but... "fist movement"?!?!? I know you mean FIRST movement, but still...

Orff's Carmina Burana IS extremely excellent, especially the fourth movement.

As for myself, I'm going through a 70s-80s phase at the moment, so I have a playlist including Depeche Mode, Erasure, Aerosmith, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, The Kinks and Sting. It works...

And then there are also Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Max Romeo, Black Uhuru, Sly&Robbie, Lee 'Scratch' Perry etc. The laid-back Reggae and Dub music helps me to relax after the tension and strain built-up during the combat resolution phase, especially after carrier battles.

Hi, Right there can't you read "Tchaikovski Symphony#6 if things are bad"
I have the same birthday as Tchaikovski and Brahms. May 7th.
I like Richard Wagner "Tannhauser" among others but how does that make me less eccentric? It would require pages to list everything I listen too. I have well over 600 peices in my collection. I am not a big opera fan. I prefer piano/violin sonata's/concertos and symphonies.
Concerning Holst I prefer "Jupiter" but I'm not really into the English composers.
Beethoven,Mozart,Brahms,Sibelius,Dvorak,Tchaikovski,Schubert,Schumann,Berloiz, Mendelshon get most of my attention. There are many others but these are the main composers I like. I also like Arlo Guthrie, Greatful Dead and David Allen Coe.

Status: offline 		After all this time, I still listen to the in-game background music. It just works for me. If it weren't that, it would probably be something large, complex and classical, much like Mogami's list. That seems to fit War in the Pacific, which is a symphony of its own kind.

Regards,

- Erik

That's my favorite Muse song. Chris Wolstenholme is a bass god. ["bass" as in the musical intrument, not "bass" as in "large-mouthed"] When he hurt his hand, they couldn't find any stand-in who could play Hysteria without slowing the entire song.

Hitler
Has only got one ball,
Goering
Has two, but very small
Himmler
Has something similar,
But poor old Goebbels
Has no balls
At all!
