Cool songs to play with KSP

[Astromoo2]

Any cool music to play with KSP? This is just a place for anybody to comment cool songs for others.

Here is a good song for landing on the Mun, or maybe a compilation:

A lot of Lindsey Stirling tracks fit really well, depending on what mood I'm in and the type of mission I'm doing, especially her instrumental only stuff.

How about some JG Thirlwell... if you're in the mood for a creepy rover drive around the polar regions of the Mun.

I listen to Com Truise and M83 , depending on what I'm doing in the game at the time.

Two Steps From Hell have some good dramatic instrumental music. I think I've actually seen a few KSP videos on youtube using their music.

[A Soviet Tank]

When you're landing or doing a difficult dock, crack on 'No Time For Caution' by Hans Zimmer to make it SUPER INTENSE!! 1!11!1!

^^This.

My life is not finished with no M83.

I also like Pink Floyd and some Classic Music here and there.

Oh my Kod! The entire The Race for Space Album by Public Service Broadcasting! They've set actual news reports and mission control recordings of major historical spaceflight events to music.

Yes, it may seem a little strange as far as music goes at first, but once you've listened to their song "Go" while landing on the Mun or making your ejection burn on a big interplanetary mission, you'll never get chills the same way again.

Just a little metal for all ya that I enjoy listening to during gametime.

I don't listen to music when playing ksp, but there are songs I've associated with certain events in the game:

Connie Allen - Rocket 69 when launching a rocket. It seems to be giving off a kind of comic optimism.

Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride during pod re-entry. I know it's odd, but the way the pod wobbles... I always end up thinking of this song.

Hair Soundtrack - Aquarius when landing passenger spaceplanes -especially large ones. Kind of ironic, since the song is about astrology, but eversince I heard this particular version during one of Carl Sagan's Cosmos episodes I pretty much fell in love with it.

Avatar Soundtrack - You don't dream in Cryo when entering Eve's orbit. I know, one would expect me to associate this with Laythe, but I consider Eve to be that siren, singing and calling you to land and stay -maybe forever

Dracula 2000 - The sun also rises in Moho's orbit -because of it's proximity to the sun and the additional heat coming with it

I don't know how many of them would be considered as cool -maybe none. Anyway, that's it

TBH this more or less sums up a large proportion of my KSP time....

 

[Kerbital]

Old school New Age and Electronica, such as Jean Michel Jarre, Kitaro... but I'm old.

I like this one for when I start my ships' main engines and send them on their way.

...and this (which I discovered a while back via a KSP youtube series) for when everything inevitably goes horribly wrong and leaves yet another floating hulk or pile of wreckage behind.

[Zeiss Ikon]

I haven't done this, but I should -- I have both of these on my hard disk.

I'm a little older than a lot of KSP players, and one of my favorite bands, Jethro Tull, dates back to the Apollo era.  Around 1969, they released a song titled "For Michael Collins, Jeffrey, and Me" -- referring, of course, to the man who was once the loneliest human in history while piloting the Apollo 11 Command Module, waiting in Lunar orbit for Armstrong and Aldrin to return from the surface of the Moon.  Much later, in 1984, they released another spaceflight related song, "Apogee".  Both of these would be very appropriate background music for KSP.

[Inverurie Jones]

I never thought about combining JT and KSP.

Given Bill's stats I think 'Thick As A Brick' is pretty much his leitmotif.

Such a great song to launch to.. coasting to apo with .. "Pressure Drop"

[ave369]

I like to listen to Russian trucker songs when driving rovers across planets, especially big cargo rovers that are essentially big rigs. Makes the trip less boring.

Additionally, today I've found that the song Don't Stop me Now by Queen is a pretty fine soundtrack for aerobraking...

[TheFlyingKerman]

Something like Mythodea or Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis

Not particularly "spacey" but incredibly relaxing when building things in the VAB.
