Do people have music playing in the background whilst playing WitP? I find it helps me concentrate; if so, what do you listen to?



Bradley7735 -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 1:52:51 AM)

Back Street Boys. Either that or Britney Spears.

(heavy sarcasm in my statement above)



Alikchi2 -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 1:58:38 AM)

Usually I listen to techno or classical stuff. I find vocals distracting.

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

Don't even JOKE about that!



Synjin -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 2:22:22 AM)

I kinda like the stock background music that comes with the game... and my fiance LOVES the mello Japanese flute music. She's said on more than one occasion that she wanted to get a CD full of music like that. I have no clue who did that tune.



Kadrin -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 2:28:23 AM)

My father and I fire up Winamp and connect to a 1920's 30's or 40's station and listen to music you'd hear during this era.



sadja -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 4:19:17 AM)

one of the tunes in background sounds like it came from tour of duty?

I listen to the NBA playoffs

Sadja



RUPD3658 -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 5:14:34 AM)

The best is the sound track to Victory at Sea.

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."



m10bob -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 6:57:26 AM)

Of the several stock tunes which came with the game,I replaced at least 4 or 5 with Victory at Sea tunes,and the game generates them randomly..IMHO we need more of the "TOKYO ROSE" type clips!!!![:D]

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 [:D][:D][:D][:D]



mogami -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 7:47:04 AM)

Hi, Berlioz "Harold in Italy" for doing turn 1.
Tchaikovski Symphony#6 if things are bad
Beethoven symphony #6 if things are good.
Rimsky-Korskov Russian Easter Overture for watching turns resolve
Beethoven Choral Fantasy for doing turns (not watching turn resolve)
Beethoven Piano Sonatas for waiting on next turn (there are 32 of them so you won't get tired of the same one)



afspret -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 8:29:01 AM)

I load up my CD player with a mix of oldies, classic rock & country. I then set it to 'random' selection and let the good times roll[8D]!



patrickl -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 10:00:50 AM)

Hi I play the Das Boot soundtrack album often. [:)] You can download legally by buying from allofmp3.com for US16 cents a song.



Lord_Calidor -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 2:09:41 PM)

Bruce Dickinson/Iron Maiden. He is a complete history, aviation and WW2 fanatic, and writes songs accordingly. So we have, for example Aces High, Tailgunner, Running Silent Running Deep, Kill Devill Hill, Paschendale etc.

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...[:D]

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...



Speedysteve -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 3:36:42 PM)

I usually listen to music. Normally whatever I like at the time. U2, Oasis, REM, Norah Jones, Manic Street Preachers etc. If I feel angry about something my opponent has done then the worst I will get upto will be Metallica. If I lose KB then Radiohead [:D]

Oh - the classics![:D]



LargeSlowTarget -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 4:24:09 PM)

My avatar should answer this question - for WitP I listen to Bob Marley songs like 'War', 'Survival' or 'Running Away' or Israel Vibration with 'Unfair Advantage', 'Hard Road' or 'Never give up the fight'. 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.



Erik Rutins -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 7:38:28 PM)

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



DrewMatrix -> RE: Music to taste (6/2/2005 7:51:16 PM)

Lots of different music from time to time, but for mood music fitting the game I like Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman.

I can't believe Caltone hooked us up with this great website for war film music!!!!!
Thank you Caltone!!!!!!!!!!1[:D]



cassius44 -> RE: Music to taste (6/3/2005 2:57:19 PM)

For some period CDs, the Imperial War Museum has two good ones: American Patrol and Reach for the Sky. Nothing like listening to "Johnny got a Zero" as your pilots shoot down some Nips.

"Johnny got a Zero, he got another Zero. Johnny is a hero today!"

Hysteria?


I like that song while before a big battle



Tiornu -> RE: Music to taste (6/3/2005 4:24:49 PM)

"Hysteria? I like that song while before a big battle"
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.



testarossa -> RE: Music to taste (6/3/2005 7:49:27 PM)

I'm listening to "Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles", Lili Marlen, etc. My favorite is Hitler has only got one ball:

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!
