So what songs would you put on it - but only pick one. I'd say Fated by Matthew Good Band |

Go top 3 instead, 1st gets 5 points, 2nd gets 3 and 3rd gets 1. And they I'll figure out an 18 song soundtrack. 1 - Fate by Matthew Good Band |

1)...The Wall (whole album) By Floyd Honorable mention...definitely also like Superman's Dead by Our Lady Peace |

Old_W: Whether or not The Wall has anything to do with Newbie Terrorists... can I just say that you have superb taste... one of the best albums ever made, containing my all-time favourite PF track... Comfortably Numb  {sings} Although it would be a hard contest between that and "On The Turning Away" from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason... Nell... who saw PF at Earl's Court and wished she'd bought a ticket to see them again the next night! Awesome. Oh yeah... for the Newbie Terrorists... how about Anarchy in the UK, by the immortal Sex Pistols? "...I know what I want and I know how to get it |

Nell...Pink Floyd is my alltime favorite band going back to an album they did called umagumma.It was before the big 4 streych of albums they did starting in 71 with Dark Side of the Moon....73 Wish You Were Here .....75 Animals( which I saw them perform in Madison Square Garden...They had a giant pig float out over the audience while they were doing the song Pigs.) And last in 77 The Wall. hat was their decade for sure. And Comfortably Numb is my wife and my favorite also.Excellent taste Young lady |

Old_W: Hey who cares about going off-topic when it's a chance to talk about PF?? DSOTM has to be one of the 10 greatest albums ever made by anyone... and I have Ummagumma too! Amongst others... Well they had the inflatable pigs at Earl's Court too... actually that was the concert that was recorded for tour video... I was there, six rows back from the front! And they played almost the whole of DSOTM in the second half... it was incredible Nell... shine on, you crazy diamond... |

I was in second row center at the garden. Best concert I ever went to and I have seen a few. They played the whole animals album and about half of wish you were here. Watch out for that axe eugene. |

And might I add that all four of those albums have to be in the top ten in my book.But thats just me. |

"Hello. Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? Come on, now, Relax. Also my favorite track ever. Though I prefer the slightly redone Roger Waters version, from Live in Berlin 1990. Amazing guitars, and an oddly appropriate Van Morrison cameo. If you haven't heard it yet, Nell, I suggest you try and find a copy.

Shining...I have The Wall Live in Berlin by Roger Waters on cassette too. Anything by Floyd or their solo adventures are in my possesion. I believe Cyndi Lauper also did some voice on that album if I can remember off the top of my head. |
| Shining1 |
posted 06-26-99 11:46 PM ET
Yup. C L, Bryan Adams, Marianna Faithful, Jerry Hall, Van Morrison, and a bunch of others I can't remember. Plus a LOT of musicians. I think Snowy White makes a repeat performance, too... mmmmm. Ah. Using the internet for its primary function - worshipping Pink Floyd. |

A few "instrumental" inspirations... - The "Midnight Express" main theme (can't remember the composer) - The "Dune" main theme (Toto) - "Evacuation" from the Killing Fields soundtrack (Mike Oldfield) - For a comic note, the original Batman song (when SMACMAN appears Aredhran |

OW, Shining, and Nell: Yeah the wall was pretty good. I'd still have to say that Matthew Good Band is my favorite Band though. I must change my vote on number 3. It should be Sunday by I Mother Earth. Perfect for any scene involving me. "I'm out of my head, that was they said." |
| MikeH II |
posted 06-28-99 09:06 AM ET
Any scene with MikeH should have Lucky Man by the Verve as a soundtrack, not my favourite song in the world but a great one to describe me, especially in titanic struggles. |
| Aredhran |
posted 06-28-99 09:10 AM ET
More instrumental tunes: "1492, conquest of paradise" (Vangelis) This one is actually linked to Aredhran himself, since the soundtrack was used as background music when I was playing the original AD&D campaign (for those who don't know, my nick is actually my favorite RPG characer's name) Aredhran |
| Nell_Smith |
posted 06-28-99 10:50 AM ET
Aredhran: Is that track available on CD? It's beautiful, and I've always wanted to get hold of a copy of it... that, and the theme to the film "Starman", which I think was also done by Vangelis? Nell PS: jig: "Children"?!? No no, save me from formulaic commercial trance... it's music like that that gives trance & techno a bad name... |
| Aredhran |
posted 06-28-99 11:06 AM ET
Nell, 1492 is definitely on CD, as are all the others I mentioned above (Why don't you just stop by my place to check them out )If you're interested, I can give you the exact references. Let me know Aredhran |
| Nell_Smith |
posted 06-28-99 11:21 AM ET
Aredhran: Sure, please tell me which CDs the tracks are on... is the Starman track one of them? Please say yes, and make an old Rave Queen very happy... And stop it with those sneaky mindtricks... don't think I can't tell... it's not working you know... hmmm what was the phone number for SwissAir again? Nell... thinking that the Pointy-Haired Boss is obviously slacking, if you're online at work... hehe |

threeover: Nah, no point flaming you for the Spice Girls or the Backstreet Boys, since you are obviously joking... right? RIGHT?!?! But "Children"... come on, that sucks... there are so many far better trancey tracks out there... Robert Miles writes commercialised drivel Nell... despairing PS: OK, the PF choice is a good one |
| jig |
posted 06-28-99 05:52 PM ET
Nell: Children was great until everyone started trying to clone it and you can't say it gives trance a bad name because it's the song that 'enlightened' me about trance music. By the way, goto www.traxinspace.com and get the songs by an artist called Heatseeker, whoa! |

jig: Get yourself a copy of some of the early TranceMaster compilations... or Reactivate 9 onwards... and then tell me if "Children" is anything but a pale imitation of early-to-mid-90s REAL trance music.

Actually, wouldn't the 'Ghost of Tom Jones' (title?) by Rage be a better choice? And who the hell suggested 'Children'? Although, with that and the Backstreet (yeah right) boys and the Spice girls, I think it probably works for the middle Echelons of the Newbie Menace. "Everybody..." |

I will kill the backstreet boys, and eat their bones. Seriously though, the backstreet boys, c'mon, I could come up with better songs when I pass out from drinking too much.Anyways, I think Naveed, by Our Lady Peace, would be good for any scene where one of the ggod guys gets killed. |

Does anybody remember the "Gaia's Theme Song" thread? It was around 2 or 3 months ago in the Factions thread (I think). Anyhow, it was really funny. To circumvent the next 5 posts or so (What's that?) (I missed that!) (I heard about it, but I never bothered to check it out) (etc.), it is stored in a text file at The Arrival (http://ac.strategy-gaming.com). Look in the "files" section under miscellaneous. |

Whilst we're talking about soundtracks.... I've been listening to a lot of Hip Hop lately. Don't laugh! Anyway I saw "NWA's Greatest Hits" in the HMV sale the other day. I had to buy it just for the novelty of seeing something called "NWA's Greatest Hits". Is that ironic? I'm not sure. It's good. Makes me want to swear and shoot people and treat women badly.... oh no, wait, it doesn't. Listening crowd: You are rambling MikeH, your point being. Oh yeah, sorry. Kool Keith (don't know why I started with Kool Kieth) has apparently been recommitted to a mental institution so he's not going to be playing any UK gigs this year. Ahhhhhhh. Just because he was found trying to stare out a photograph of himself. Last time he tried to do a UK tour they wouldn't let him in the country, just 'cause he's insane and they said he wasn't a musician. Whilst I would really like to see Kool Keith I am scared of his insanity. In a recent interview when asked to describe himself in three words he chose: "Wicked, Wiley and Advanced" In my book anyone who describes themselves as advanced is a mental collossus not a madman. Those of you unfamiliar with his work may have heard him on the Prodigy's Diesel Power. I submit the whole of his Dr. Octagon album to the soundtrack as tribute. It has one track (can't remember the name unfortunately) where he raps passages from scientific papers at high speed. The best technical rapping I've ever heard. Note: All of the information in this post is dubious at best from an extremely unreliable source, not that anyone cares. Nell: you are the second person to recommend Reakivate 9 to me in 2 days, I guess that means I have to buy it. Mike: Am I still drunk 12 hours after I stopped drinking? |

Mike: Reactivate 10 is actually the best of the lot, but from 9 onwards they got really good. And 9 has the classic track Outside World by Sunbeam, with a couple of really nice samples from the Manga film "Akira". BUT... vol.10 contains the best dance track ever written... Access by DJ Misjah and DJ Tim. The ultimate slow-building acid track... Go buy, go buy... Nell... who hasn't been raving like FOREVER |

I think i'm going to revive this one. Got to it through the spy link in ACOL. I promised myself that i wouldn't post here anymore, but i'll brake my word for this. First the list: TD(hope u can hear(read) this: Ya know the music man! My choice: Freedom - RATM To all PF lovers: I think PF are gods. But lately, listening to them gives me nothing more then a simple paranoya. I cannot listen to The Wall for more then 30mins. Nell: Children might not be one of the best, but try listening more to RM, he has much to say in 23am. And a Special for Nell(The Rave Queen): F-u-c-k up Your Earz - Y.O.M.C. ( i know it's a oldie...but so are you, right?) MiKaeLe |

Nell...please don't get this thread removed? Huh, is this turning into China of the UBBs? NEway, i am NOT a true old time raver. I just had a chance to go to couple congrecains in Ibiza(Spain) were they were busting Rave, and cought on some of then new songs. I am actualy a GOA+House phreakazoid, but since lately the party atmosphere here is REALY down, have been listening to BB, Vangelis, Yani, JMJ and even Beatles!!! I don't know about elsewhere, but here i just can't feel that atmosphere that techno party gatherings used to have like two years ago. Maybe i would guess what song it is if you record yourelf singing it and post it here!---aaargghhhh...html is off...oh well..you can send it by mail |
