What´s your personal civ soundtrack?

[batteryacid]

It might be a bit off topic (or not), but I think it´s perhaps refreshing to dicuss more about more than AIs, corruption, strategies etc.- so I thought about a theme all people like to discuss- miusic. I know that the chioces cannot cover everything- so feel free to write about your preferences, habits etc.

For myself I must say I hear no other musik than I hear ususally- Britpop (I´m a real Radiohead addict), heavy metal (metallica etc), Jazz (jazzanova and St. Germain) etc. etc.- everything but folk music, techno and the too commercial pop crap

So- let´s the discussion start

 

[Turner]

The Sound of Silence.

 

[digitalgoodtime]

Nirvana Unplugged, hendrix or tu-pac all work for me... I love my mp3's

 

[Kronis]

Weezer.

 

[Midnight Piper]

Movie Themes - invading and building to the Imperial March, the Theme from Red October, Patton, The Conan Movies, The Patriot, and various tracks from 13th warrior.

 

[LLXerxes]

I'mgood with the regular backround music.

I like it so much, I burned it onto a CD

 

[philippe]

i do a mix from trance to drum and bass and moslty HEAVY METAL and sometimes final fantasy songs and of course the pixies

 

[Richard Cribb]

My troops usually go to battle accompanied by symphonies from the classical period, especially those from the Mannheim composers.
And I find it hard to believe that Bach is such a favourite among world dominating villains...

 

[Gainy]

It seems i'm the only one who listens to German folk music

 

[DS_Legionary]

I listen to a mix of Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, AC DC, and Pink Floyd. I make a 30 track selection shuffles, place on reapeat, and start up a day of civing.

 

[Kalach]

Some times I just listen to the radio. Recently I've been playing old-skool rap records, PE, NWA, Run DMC, etc. Otherwise it's Hilltop Hoods, J5, DJ Shadow, Bias B. With occasional SoaD, RATM, some instrumentals and whatever else i haven't played in a while.

 

[Black_Hole]

i use the origiinal music

 

[KabeDerlin]

Techno! Nothing like invading an enmy territory while Sandstorm is blaring.

 

[Tripwire]

Sometimes I listen to the music of Bill Brown. You can download some of his music for free (legally of course) from www.billbrownmusic.com.

 

[gustavope]

I like to listen Dire Straits, Bob Marley, Eric Clapton. Sometime when the IA attack me,for not punch the computer i listen Elvis and Frank SInatra. But when they have only a warrior and start a war with me i listen Punk rock(Sex pistol, Rancid, bad religion) and i go to war against him and his allies.

 

[WoodenTaco]

I just do the default. But thats a good idea... i think i'll play Ride of the Valkyries next time I go warmongering.

 

[Bartleby]

...I find it hard to believe that Bach is such a favourite among world dominating villains...

I agree with this.

Oftentimes I listen to the radio (RTE Radio One). If I do put on a CD or an LP (anyone remember those?) it could be anything from Bach to the Butthole Surfers but usually I won't notice it finish and I'll be playing for hours in silence.

 

[WickedSmurf]

Swedish punk.

 

[batteryacid]

And I find it hard to believe that Bach is such a favourite among world dominating villains...

You´re right - sometimes I´m just tipping faster than thinling- I meant Beethoven - but I heard some of Bachs compositions for organs also in some films -e.g. Michael Caine as Captain Nemo in this TV production, or the crazy gone Dreyfuss in Pink Panther 3
I think Strauss with Also Sprach Zarathustra (you know the 2001 space Odyssee theme) would also be nice

 

[Babbler]

music distracts my CPU too much
