Fitting Music?

[Lord Dick Tim]

I will have to agree, good song.

[Radigan]

Here's another suggestion, a gem off the Django Unchained soundtrack.

[VikingOfSixth]

If it's not funky, it ain't flying.

Quantic - The 5th Exotic especially
Gorillaz
Brian Eno
Shaolin Afronauts
The Lafayette Afro Rock Band
Daft Punk
Monophonics
The Doors if the mood is right

It depends on the ship really. My squid requires afro-funk or new wave grooves, my junker needs some rough sounding bluegrass to carry me through the skies, if I am flying a galley I am shouting at the AI with my mic because they won't man the right guns or repair the right shit so no time for music.

(I just assume all Goldfish captains are listening to Ace of Bass or something like that, makes them feel real pretty.)

Love these music posts, get to listen to some new stuff and see how what people listen to they can relate to this game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV3H3t6XsxU Sure there are no "roads" and it's not even steampunk, but the concept is still there, just jump on your airship and start sailing as far as you please. This is how I imagine adventure mode sailing onward into the sunset toward new adventures.

And play this at least once on when at the refinery! (Warning: Ponies involved, proceed with caution.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5HODSIpyCo

[Connor Mc.]

So now whenever I play I put on music from like the fucking 20s and shit, but like seriously, it's awesome, since the world ended at that time it fits, and it's really erie to listen to old, distorted songs while flying towards the enemy ship, and while all the shooting and explosions are happening you hear it in the backround, and when it's all over it gives you a really erie weird feeling since the music is still playing and it's usually happy stuff, but your ship is dead or something.

they all sound better on Spotify anyway

[Keon]

Some of the Kevin Macleod stuff is pretty good.

To be used when going all harpoon squid or all flamer squid.

I have to say, the Gents occasionally blast music through DJ Abrams' microphone. Mostly for laughs, but we play the main theme of Pirates of the Caribbean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWPJrSSXtww

And blame Roy's preferences for this, but the Beegees' Stayin' Alive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_izvAbhExY

Rethburn's theme tune, Drunker Sailor, by the Irish Rovers.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGyPuey-1Jw

Oh, and that reminds me, Ataris approves of the Red Alert music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDQ7hXMLxGc and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3rGO2WhZGg

Hope you enjoyed some of the lighthearted pseudo-battle music on offer here.

So you see a Galleon far in the distance and then... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_MW65XxS7s&list=PLBwYyguc6iijzDMsQ2j1I4VBkhX70BCRA&index=2

Also these two are great pieces that fit my style, but maybe not the overall theme of the game:

My first nomination: Madness, the flight theme off the Porco Rosso soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPhzp2tj_QE

My second would probably be the Ace Combat Zero soundtrack. I find myself listening to the Hresvelgr motif (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oNWGxerWsk) in tense moments, the Round Table theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl2C28hMN2U) for less cautious dogfighting, and the music from the Gelb duel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f3GZv_pjoI) when it's down to the wire.  Or if I'm just feeling like a straight-up badass, one word: Zero. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGjwXI0n5-I)

Now for some less videogame-geeky tunes: Holst's Mars: The Bringer of War is a classic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bcRCCg01I), or maybe Khachaturian's Sabre Dance if it's one of... those games. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXHOB1s56zc)

I'll post more when I think of 'em.

Anything composed by Nobuo Uematsu will, for the most part, hit the right tone for me.

Pardon? I mean, sure, he does sweeping orchestral scores and whatnot but the guy loves his 1970s Emerson Lake and Palmer-style progressive rock organ pieces too. That's kind of a broad spectrum, isn't it?
