Hi folks,
I was just wondering what music people of the MadMan's Café hear...
for me : System of a Down (Steal this album)
And you ?
i think there was another recent thread about music somewhere, but since i was too busy yesterday to contribute my thoughts there, i will post here :D (anyways, it's too tough to choose your 10 absolute favorite songs. it's like choosing one child over another! T_T)
KMFDMand Pig, and everything the two have ever done (MDFMK, Slick Idiot, Schwein, Excessive Force) are at the top of my list
a couple of others off the top of my head are Space A, S#arp, White Zombie (Rob's awesome but i especially love his old stuff when he was with the others), Lords of Acid, DJ Onyx
oh yea, i'd definitely love to share my music with anyone out there. get in touch with me and i'll show you the beautiful world of KMFDM

Lately been listening to a lot of 'Best of Acid Jazx' collections. I like the hip hop/dj/jazz combo.
If you've ever seen that Lincoln Navigator commercial with the yuppie guy in the SUC, he opens the sun roof, and hears a live jazz band jamming. That is actually Mr. Scruff; a dj who likes mixing with old jazz records. Even leaving in the hisses, pops, & scratches of the records he uses. That stuff just lets me slide into a nice creativity groove.
I've also been listening to the soundtrack from Unreal Tournament 2003, the PC game.
Been a fan of KMFDM since my days as a Depeche Mode fan and heard what KMFDM was 'supposed' stand for. Also like White Zombie, Nitzer Ebb, Lords of Acid, Underworld, and Orbital.
Yup, my tastes kinda swing from one end to the other

im currently listening too
boards of canada, aphex twin, autechre,broadcast, ladytron, brothomstates, plaid, squarepusher, actually, all those artist/groups are on the same label, with the exception of ladytroon, anyways....
if you're looking for some more "mr.scruff" like stuff, dj cam mixes a lot of stuff thats a lot similar to mr.scruff, though dj cam has more of a "hip hoppy" feel, and mr.scruff has more of a "jazzy" feel
theres other artists like that, i just cant htink of anything out the top of my head right now though -_-

Thanx Price, will take a look online for one or two, to give DJ Cam a try. Also will listen to Flaresound and the likes on the internet radio for him.
Appreciate it, and anyone else you can suggest. Have also been digging Thievery Corporation, but had a hard time finding actual discs.
-Thanx again.
heyy, CrazyMax, if you don't mind answering, where'd you get the UT 2003 sound track from? :D

By the way, seeems I'm the only one who is listening some metal stuff... I'm begin to understand why this music style is never used in japanese games and anime.
What do you think of the evolution of music style in fighting games ? Do you like the fact that recent games (cvs2, kof2k1...) use more techno-beat music, or are you missing the old more rockish tunes (remember Geese's theme !!!) ?

If you want good examples of techno used in games check Einhander by Square. Nice.
Super battle garegga has a nice technoish boss theme, pretty dramatic too (thanks to Rugal.)
Another good example is the Wipeout series, they actually use real rechno/trance/etc professionals tracks. I pray to dog we may never see Tejano music on a fighting game.
Edit: Network cables make nice anime tentacle monsters.
But overall it depends on the setting, mood, and characters or situations in the game for a specific type of music to fit.

Wooo hoo hoo now, CvS2 is not techno. Most of it is more like bad 70's porno music. As for 2k1, i guess is techno or something, the musician is just bad and uninspired.
Pron music... lol ! you said it !
Sort of easy listening, created by lazy musicians. Try remember any tune from cvs2... you can't ? Neither do I, because they are crappy.
Music is sacrificed in the last fighting games. It's a matter of time, space of talent ?

And you ?
Ugh... could never possibly narrow it down. Here's a smattering:
Prog rock (Tool, Floyd)
Metal (Ill Nińo, F'n GWAR!)
House ("Praise the Lords! Fuck the rest!")
Classical
A Little Hip-Hop (Busta Rhymes, Outkast, Method Man/Redman)
Brit stuff (Radiohead, Coldplay)
Game soundtracks (lately Skullmonkeys and Legend of Mana)
and Incubus (one of the only bands I've ever liked before and after they "sold out" read: changed styles)
Pretty much the only things I don't listen to are:
Country (even though most of it's pretty much pop at this point)
Modern R&B (99.9% of songs boil down to "I wanna fuck you", "Why won't you fuck me?", and/or "You'll never fuck me again")
Sugary pop music (American or Japanese... J-Pop makes my ears bleed)
Fake Punk (Insulting... like turning Edgar Allan Poe in to a Pepsi commercial)
Real Punk/Industrial (I don't think it's bad... I'm just not nearly pissed off/disenchanted/depressed enough to truly appreciate it)
Wow, that's a lot more than I thought. <shrug>

Tool, Incubus... good choices =)
I like your vision of R'n'B... Exactly what I think of it. Its like Rappers : big cars & slaved girls (in your dreams, assholes !!).
No KoRn or Manson, anyone ?
Talking about game soundtracks, I used to listen some Castlevania, but the lack of new episodes (forget about GBA tunes...) forced me to put it down (wake up, Konami, we want to kick Drac's ass again & again !).

Why thank you... Incubus has almost become a guilty pleasure for me. Their old stuff is GREAT (reminds me a lot of Disco Volante era-Mr. Bungle with a tribal edge), but I actually like their new stuff as well (Aqueous Transmission on "Morning View" is beautiful music to make love/sleep to). Tool is just the answer to the question "What if Pink Floyd was American metal?". The kind of band that helps music evolve.

Well, while I agree with you about modern hip-hop's current propensity for self-indulgence, egomania, and mysogeny (sp?), I also think it's only temporary and not the true nature of hip-hop. I liken it to the raunchy days of 80s hair metal. It'll fade away once suburban white kids flock to the next "big thing". I actually like some hip-hop (old Run DMC, Beastie Boys before they became boring Buddhists, Outkast, Slick Rick).
quote:

Nah. I lost interest in Korn once they became rich and famous and Jonathan Davis went into therapy. The first two albums were chockful of raw, powerful emotion. Great stuff. Now they're just overpaid teen angst advocates with really bitchin' bass lines. 
Manson, while I respect him as a business man (not to mention the fact that I think he's a reasonably intelligent and well-spoken man for a rock star), I think he's a terrible musician. He can't sing/scream for shit (<-- opinion) and all of his shock schtick (pancake makeup, cross-dressing, cutting on stage, mocking religion) has been done before and better by others (Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Ozzy respectively). In some ways, I find him to be like the disenchanted goth-equivalent of pre-fabricated sugar pop bands. He knows exactly who his audience is and he plays directly to them. He just doesn't have anyone pulling his strings.

Actually, I thought a couple of tunes on Harmony were pretty sweet. But yeah, we're LONG overdue for a new non-portable Drac.

I've been stuck with video game music.
- King Of Fighter's 96
This soundtrack kicks ass, worth my every minute listening to them. KOF music was at its peak till it hits 2001. I'm losing my interest in KOF music ever since.
Yes, I also agree that KOF96 had the best soundtrack. I thought 99 was a close second. 2000 isn't that bad, I really never heard much of KOF2001. I heard it was pretty bad, but I'd like to hear the music from that game arranged. I bet it would sound better. I wonder if KOF2001 on DC will have arranged music. I hope it's not like Garou either, because that wasn't much of an arrangement.
Yeah, 2000 was great too. Still it didn't beat 96. KOF2000 arranged soundtrack was better than the original. As for arranged tracks for 2001, its not going to happen as its by a different management who handled the music. The original band (I forgot its name)left SNK after its last mastepiece (KOF 2000.) The music in KOF 2001 didnt sound all that inspiring. It's so different, that it strayed away from the usual style we hear in Good'ol KOF music. I guess we won't get to see anymore arranged soundtracks or Drama CDs from the KOF series anytime soon. Even if there is, the music just isn't the same anymore. (My friend said the Tears's theme for Kyo in 2001 sucked really bad.)
In the name of God impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal Damnation. Amen.

maybe they'll be back T_T for me, 2k1 wasn't that bad but i do miss that old kof sound. that sound was a big part of kof. and as for 2k2 Tears, parts of it was actually pretty good ..... until it gets to the (i can't explain this part very well) "emotional part" of the song. they chose an odd sound for it, or the beat was off or something ..
quote:
i don't post here much, but i like a lot of music. stuff like bright eyes, mirah, rilo kiley, stereototal, supreme beings of leisure, the pillows (i love FLCL), and the gitaroo man soundtrack.
oh god the gitaroo man sound track is AWESOME!! (and i haven't even played the game yet hehehe) Tainted Lovers is one of my favorite songs (sounds like boss music). nice and upbeat; a fierce sound. reminds me of Guilty Gear X's Bloodstained Lineage
