Hey, folks. I was reading the GURPS Marathon website the other day, and it gave a list of music to play while running a Marathon game. Some of them I liked, some of them I didn't- and given that I can't get the soundtrack to work on my copy of M1A1, I've been compiling my own alternative Marathon soundtrack recently.
Anyway, I was wondering if you guys had any alternative Marathon tunes in mind. For my own list, I've not just gone for music that sounds good while playing- I've tried to go for stuff that really fits in with the Marathon vibe. Here's a few choice selections from my own list. Recommendations welcome.
Massive Attack- I Against I
Deltron 3030- 3030
Unkle- Guns Blazing
Chemical Brothers- Chemical Beats (Dave Clarke Remix)
Orbital- Way Out
Les Rhythmes Digitales- Kontakte
Talisman & Hudson- Leaving Planet Earth
LTJ Bukem- Horizons
All these, I think, complement the world of Marathon really well- they all have a very electronic sound to them, coupled with dense and intricate production, which ties in well with the dark, detailed world that the games take place in. Most of the songs with lyrics tend to have a sci-fi flavour to them, which makes them all the more evocative.
So, any comments? Suggestions? Hatred at my poor musical tastes? Why not seek out some of these songs? You never know, you might like them.
