Walsingham Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Listening to Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore performed by the Opera D'Oro, and I swear I just heard a cormorant squawk/bray. I expect it was someone in the audience sneezing. But It was a fantastic image. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Azdeus Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Does anyone here have any tips about any good background music for say Warhammer 40K? Suitably epic and dark at the same time preferably. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Monte Carlo Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm currently enjoying a Killers retrospective (Sam's Town), a genuine case of "I preferred their older stuff" (esp. Mr. Brightside, one of my favourite Killers tracks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblarg Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Redemption - Something Wicked This Way Comes You know, this one song probably has more good musical ideas than the rest of this band's career put together. It's really annoying when an overall mediocre band has one truly great song, as it just leaves you wondering how good they might have been if they had written more like it.

Going to talk with the GM's about the music you suggested, the Gladiator soundtrack we already use for another game sadly. The Chaos Gate music really struck a chord with me, and I really hope the others think the same! <3 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Monte Carlo Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Honestly, try Frank Sinatra, it's surreal but kinda groovy... Player: My Death Angels unleash their heavy bolters at the Ork skirmishers! [Fly me to the moon / Let me sing among those stars / Let me see what spring is like / On jupiter and mars / In other words, hold my hand / In other words, baby kiss me / Fill my heart with song / Let me sing for ever more / You are all I long for / All I worship and adore / In other words, please be true / In other words, I love you] Player: Er, OK.

Walsingham Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Went off the beaten track on my music service today, and hit two absolute STINKERS. 1. Gilles Rawson - The Artist Formerly Known as Good I didn't notice how bad this was at first. By the end of the second track I had realised that there was a distressing lack of originality. By the end of the fourth I had noticed how screechingly terrible the singer's voice is. I mean, really, even over the tone tuning and other shenanigans you can hear he sings almost everything flat or otherwise off key. Worst voice I've ever heard in a commercial recording. 2. Thomas Nowlin Harrison 'Armored Faith' You just can't get enough hammond organ into songs about Jesus. If I was God and heard this I'd take BACK the blessing of Abraham. In celebratory terms - assuming it's a celebration of faith - I'd rank it with pissing on your birthday cake. Edited April 10, 2011 by Walsingham "It wasn't lies.

Raithe Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Trying to alter my mood by going for the slightly bizarre assortment of B-52's music.. You have to admit, they could be amusing and weird...
