Gaming music

[SAS]

While in a clan tribes2 match the game was in full swing. Stuck at 3-3 with both teams going for the goal, when suddenly the music on the radio (usually okish) changed to a love song ! After 30seconds I had lost the flag and the enemy recaptured it :|

I'm on the look out of a album that would keep the aderline pumping if played in the background.

Anyone recommend any?

Papa Roach, can't not kill something if your listening to them

 

[Wij]

Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed.

no other albums should be listened to - EVER !!

I find that listening to classical music while gaming/tinkering with hardware improves my performance immensely.
slightly strange tho, as i normally don't really like the classical genre

I found at I7 that if I listened to Pure Garage 4 while playing, our team always won....

Source Direct - "Excorcize the Demons"
Photek - "Modus Operandi"

Those are the two best CD's for intense gaming.

whilst playing q2 in the last couple of days ive listened to ; london calling -the clash
aqualung - jethro tull
loco - fun loving criminals
first one is great for q2! second one is great , but not for q2 (lol) third one is errr, not so great.

listening to music whilst playing impairs you massively, even if it does increase your fun/adrenaline.

if you have to play listening to music, you can't go wrong with a coupld of albums by Machine Head - "The Burning Red" and "The More Things Change..." will leave you breathless.

New Progressive Era

daft punk - discovery

and clubbers bible.

I never play with music on. I'm just saying that Let It Bleed is a brillo ell-pee

This mans knows what he's talking about. Ignore **all** other suggestions and get this

Already got it Perp but Let It Bleed is still the king

 

[Testin da Cable]

have it

My mates normally come round for some reason when I play CS and so they have a muck about on my turntables while I shoot stuff.
Having loud music blaring at me is actually relaxing and tend to play better as a result. Tunes that send me on killing sprees are New Order "Confusion" (Pump Panel mix), Push "Strange World" plus a number of banging trance / hard house toonz.
Also, a bit of Cypress Hill and Blink 182 also does wonders for my aim.

Chemical Brothers - Surrender
Especially "Out of Control", and "Hey Boy, Hey Girl"

"Modus Operandi" got me through Quake/QuakeWorld. "Exorcize the Demons" is great for Tribes1. Oddly though, neither fit well with Quake2. "Consumed" by Plastikman was the ticket for Q2.

good stuff that, yeh.

I think what made me drop flag was when someone (could have been mikey B) started singing over the mic. Couldn't stop laughing for a solid 5 mins at least . Thankfully someone else picked it up though (not sure who), i wonder what music he was listening to when he dropped and it went to SAS.

fuck guitars

Y'all want some crazy tech step dude. Fuck all that guitar crap. You playing Tribes2 or with the MTV remote control? Anything by Decoder, Biostacis Tech Itch, Ice Minus, Goldie and Teebee should suffice. Check out http://www.breakbeat.co.uk for more info.

Hmm, i play guitar, in a band (kinda stereophonics type music) so i have to dissagree with you there . Although Dance/techno is better for games

 

[Embattle]

Moby adds an extra mood level to games but then again I don't listern to music during games otherwise I fall to sleep

*YES*

Failing that, Form and Function (also Photek) is top notch fraggin music too.

 

[old.Kez]

Anything by Talib Kweli &/or Hi-Tek (Black star) is (are?) good.
Daft punk - Discovery (or even homework)
Anything trancey (with a fast beat)
Anything trancey (with a slow beat)
(HEH)
Lost Prophets - Fake sound of progress (album, not song)
Counting crows - Mr Jones (admittedly only one song, but quite leet)
