[assuming you have music turned off] What music do you listen to when playing KSP?

[SpaceLaunchSystem]

I was wondering what music you guys like to listen to when playing KSP.

When I'm building, I usually like to listen to Tom Lehrer

When I launch, for some reason, I like to listen to this:

What about you?

[Axelord FTW]

Prog rock.

Alt Rock.

Stuff like Mass Effect's soundtrack (the first game, the rest are abominations) or EVE Online's soundtrack.

Sometime I can listen to electro or ambiance.

It's usually just a good time to try out and find new and interesting albums from bands I have not listened to yet. Most recent additions were Gryphon and Klaatu.

[SirElephant]

I always enjoy the building music. Kevin MacLeod's music that is used in space I also enjoy, but I often mute this. But I always keep the building mode music on for sure.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

I've been listening to Joan Baez recently. Before that I listened to some Paul Simon "Grace land"

[Abdu]

anything i just play itunes radio alternative

[xrayfishx]

I mostly listen to Nightwish and Xandria while playing. Their songs sometimes match my game so well. It's fun to, for example, have it play "Ocean Soul" when I just somehow lost my parachutes and I'm crashing into the water. Or "Firestorm" when I'm not crashing into the sea.

[RainDreamer]

I usually listen to space ambiance music. Just googling that gives me a ton of result, so I have a lot of stuff to listen to.

[Thomas988]

I listen to many different types of music, although I tend to linger around instrumental/soundtrack/ambient and techno/pop music.

[CG_Kerbin]

I usually don't have the music completely of around 20 but it listen to podcast uaslly (but only when I'm playing causally not with freinds. But some of my freinds play music even when chatting so they can't even hear you XD)

[cantab]

When I stream I have ocremixes on, http://ocremix.org/

If I'm not streaming myself then as often as not I've got somebody else's stream on.

[Flymetothemun]

I'll usually listen to Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, or Steve Miller when building, but unless I'm absolutely confident that the vehicle is rock-solid and I know what it will do, I'll leave the music off when flying so that I can listen for anything out of the ordinary and for any BS that might come along. Although, If I'm doing fighter-style flying, I'll keep the music off so that I can focus on what's going on. Kinda like that driving law where you can only have an earphone in one ear so that you can listen to traffic in the other.

KM has written space music?

Song titles pls?

[Robotengineer]

NPR... filler

[Chowderpat]

I just listen to the silent sound of playing KSP. It's creepy.

[Camacha]

No music. The stock music drove me crazy a long time ago and I am way too busy doing complicating things to be distracted by music.

[General Rarity]

I usually keep stock music on in other installs.

But...

In my Russian themed install (for example) I listen to Russian themed music. Kalinka, Polyushka Polye, Katyusha, you name it.

[Ethanadams]

This or deadmau5

[CelticCossack51]

Multiple times I listened to Wake Me Up. But I mainly listen to marches and patriotic songs from Russia, China, Germany, the U.K, and some American ones, only some.

[Bill Phil]

If I didn't have music on ( I have it on, but I would like to contribute)...

Either Dark Side (it's beginning is really good for a cinematic...) or The Wall... Maybe some foreigner and ACDC.

[Trigsu]

Tangerine Dream - Jaws..no wait...Sorcerer

ive been running a motorhead playlist for the past weak. it doesnt run out, ever.

[Columbia]

I don't listen to music very often, but I keep the music down for reasons.. I find it horrifying, especially with the chage of mood for every event.

I once accidentally killed a Kerbal after the destruction of a space station, and the music changed from "Space Whales" as people call it, to "Wizardtorium" by Kevin Macleod. It would play during a tragic disaster in space, and was very eerie, horrifying and creepy to hear suddenly.

I vowed to never kill a Kerbal in space, even if I can revert the flight.

Imagine listening to a song that sings triumph, success and space, and doing a big mistake which kills a beloved Kerbal. The music suddenly pauses.. and starts to play a song that you know was written to symbolize the point of no return, failure, and that there's nothing you can do. It's like being on the Moon, happily wandering around in a spacesuit. Mission Control suddenly calls, and tells you that there's no hope for your return, and you'll die there. All alone. They cut off communication with you, and now you're alone. You can't go back. You have nobody to talk to.

It's bone-chilling.

[Noname117]

Brand New is finally coming out with new material. So happy!

[Slam_Jones]

Lately I've been on a 70's/80's streak... I usually set my Pandora to Electric Light Orchestra radio

I totally also listen to Steve Miller!
