OT - Favorite Music?

[Atrocities]

I have used music for years to affect how people think, feel when they watch productions. Music is as much a part of life as air.

But if you want music that expresses emotion best, you should look into opera or at least showtunes.

Opera? Nooooooooooooo...........

Yeah, Opera. Waltz is good too. I remember have three discs of Strauss in the changer while playing Duke Match (multiplayer Duke Nukem 3D) for hours at a time.

Invigorating.

I think the most emotional piece of 'modern' music I've ever heard is 'Fade to Black' played by four Finns on cellos, who call themselves Apocalyptica. Very good stuff.

I like Apocalyptica and how they have covered pretty much every Metallica song. They make good use of the Cello in their songs.

Remember, the Ride of the Valkyries is from Wagner's opera, but it's a damn good piece by itself. Personally, I can't stand operas either, but I do like classical music. At least the bombastic, thunderous type of music.

There is something rather grand about having Gustav Holst's the "planets suite" on whilst playing SEIVG.

I do like going into battle with the sounds of "Mars - Bringer of War" kicking off in my earhole. It just is a bit annoying however when SEIVG seems to make the tracks jump about

Also, i have a friend who does reviews and some of these bands i learned from him.
He runs a good website with reviews on metal: Rock Report
He's busy (it's working already but not yet published) working on a rock encyclopedia. Pretty cool.

I favor almost any genre, provided it sounds good. It appears that the only exception is rap, which I have found disgusting in general.(I am younger then 20, suprisingly.)

My favorite music comes from a site that hosts the music of various authors, ranging from techno to classic pieces. They are remixes, usually altering the original form of the music used into new directions.

Overclocked Remix III

I have some particular Favorites, listed by name and under the sections they are in:

Under section C:
-The Incredible Singing Robot
-The Knights Come Marching Home
-The Trial in Concert

Under section D:
-DDR 4F73R M3(Is this rap? Or is it something else? I can't quite make out the words...)

Under section E:
-Rings of Saturn Valley
-Bus!
-Waztelands

Under section S:
-Saturday Night Speedway(I recommend using it in Grand Theft Auto III, it feels correct.)

-Secret of Spram(8-bells mix)
-Pearl Song
-Vega's Ballad

Under section M:
-Marble Dancefloor
-BrainsickMetal
-Metal Gear May Cry Remastered
-Needles
-Zero Sky(Again, use for GTA III.)

Under section T:
-Gift from Moscow
-Slavic Roots
-McVaffe Quasi Ultimix

Under section X:
-Live from the Yggdrasil
-Skyline

Under section Y:
-Mists of Yie-Ar

Under section Z:
-Pirates of Dragon Roost Isle
-Secret Seashells
-River of Time
-Ancient Hero
