I think i discovered a perfect KSP theme song

[gorkyporky]

I think it captures the spirit of Kerbal very well

What songs do you think fit kerbal? Or even a playlist that you listen to while playing?

[Levelord]

I actually run a theme replacer in my KSP so that this soundtrack plays:

The music makes these images pop into my head:

[Red Iron Crown]

Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone. Everywhere is the danger zone.

More seriously, in orbit I like classical as it gives a bit of 2001-style atmosphere.

[cantab]

I still maintain that this is the perfect song for KSP, and specifically KSP as opposed to any other space things.

[LethalDose]

It's just too goofy to not put here, and the faux-atomic-age style of the costumes fit my imagining of the Kerbals' fashion.

yeah, same as that. I don`t want widdly widdly guitar in a 3 minute song when I`ve got a 9 minute burn to do.

I`d rather have something like this...

[Shadow_Spark]

Pendulum - Propane Nightmares .

That is all.

[Xacktar]

The first time I heard this song I knew I had to make a KSP video for it, which got me back into making videos for the first time since CoH closed.

Gotta admit, Gorkyporky's song is tempting me to do another.

[StrandedonEarth]

Xacktar, that was a fitting song and a great video. Danger Zone is also a good choice, and of course KSP is all about the Time Warp. In fact they're all good. But I shall suggest "Ride of the Valkyries"

[SelectHalfling0]

These 2:

[LordFerret]

Pretty Lights - 'My Only Hope', from the album A Color Map Of The Sun? I keep envisioning Kerbals hopping about on Mun or Minmus everytime I hear it.

The best thing about this thread? Seeing everyone's vastly different ideas on what they enjoy. Something to be said about a game bringing together so many varied people.

i sometimes listen to classical music when i play KSP (i'm on a JS bach kick of late, maybe the technical nature of the music makes me a better engineer in the VAB, or not), but more often i run it without any music at all. the in-game soundtrack really annoys me after a couple of minutes, but that's not unique to KSP, it goes for just about every game i play (the only exception being doom).

I too listen to Classical, all the time. And, one of my favorites is indeed Bach... especially when spending half the night building something in the VAB lol. So, I'll share this...

There's plenty of great Classical stuff there, other genera too. My fav is the all Bach channel. You can listen free (click on the "Try Us" button), but have to listen to their brief occasional (not all that often) 'commercial'. Check it out, you might like it.

Come to think of it, Doom has a good soundtrack. So does Black Mesa, a Half Life remake.

Surface Tension 1 and Questionable Ethics 1 are good.

Links are really tough for me to figure out, sorry.

The original Cosmos Soundtrack is ideal to me, along with Homeworld and EVE Online.

The music makes these images pop into my head:

Little bit off topic here, but jesus. Isn't that one of the original photos they showed off of re-entry effects in one of the OLD dev livestream? I remember seeing that for the first time like back in 0.18 and it was amazing. It still is quite beautiful though.

I am bad at post making.

[problemecium]

I shall never stop trying to convince everyone that THIS should be the KSP theme:

What's your favorite thing about KSP? Mine's space.

That.. was.. brilliant. I am a little surprised that you didn't use more re-entry flames, and also you didn't feature the sun at all.

You should definitely make more vids like this.

As for what music I like, is anybody else old enough to remember a game called Elite, and particularly it's sequel Frontier? The BGM for Frontier borrowed from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (I can think of no more appropriate soundtrack for docking sequences than The Blue Danube), but expanded on it too. Those crappy old synth orchestras are just perfect for games like this...

[waterlubber]

David Bowie's Space Oddity.

I made a post about it before. Described Jeb perfectly.

WE PLAY THAT IN PEP BAND!!!!! I love that song! And I agree! Rep!

[Xacktar]

Heard this randomly on the radio today.

Very tempted to make this my next KSP video project.

[MartGonzo]

Puscifer - Holiday on the Mun

[The Destroyer]

Dammit I know that song! I like that beat, I've heard it somewhere... AGT? No.... I don't remember OH It is AGT!

[LitaAlto]

While I enjoy most forms of music, I'm a life-long metalhead and I get into some fairly extreme stuff, I admit.

That said, I like listening to this band while playing KSP, in part because of the atmosphere of the music, in part because of the samples they sometimes use, and in part because the band claims to be (evil) aliens.
