What music do you listen to while playing KSP?

[katateochi]

I listen to music when building; Infected Mushroom has been my choice recently. Once I'm blowing things up / traversing the inky blackness I prefer silence. It mostly for the emersion of space, and partly 'cos I like to be ready to hit record if something wonderful/horrific happens.

Occasionally I do listen to music in space and then I tend to go for liquid drum and bass or the more mellow end of the dub-step spectrum.

My current fav artist is a guy I found on soundcloud called RamesesB. He's stuff is just sublime and quite varied (ie drum and bass to classical), I've used his tracks a lot in my vids.

This is a link to an 8 hour play list of his work; https://soundcloud.com/ramesesb/sets/rameses-b-full-discography, or just go to his stream

Personally I listen to Pink Floyd while in VAB

Yea Pink Floyd all the way!

I listen mainly to that, Metallica, Iron Maiden, ACDC, Guns n Roses, and other various rock/metal bands! \m/

[cadaverific]

I generally enjoy starting with these two, they're both good to get into my playing mood

THEN

I also absolutely love Approaching Nirvana. These 2 are my favorite to begin with before going to the rest. (Evolve is currently my fav album but the new one is growing on me)

A friend recommended this thread to me.

After reading it top to bottom, I see that there are many enthusiasts out there that prefer engine noises over music. As a veteran, I can honestly say that engine noises may be exciting at first, but after clocking hundreds of hours, listening to the same pitch whine or roar gets to be anything but exciting. Then again the smell of a clean burn or the feeling of flight it self makes that noise quite enjoyable. Even if it is just "pure noise".

As a test, I will let you be the judge, by viewing the following videos.

The first two are exciting engine noises without the thrill of flight. "You can even try to listen to them with your eyes closed".

The other two are music scores with visuals. "Look at them and don't think of engine noises".

"AS A SIDE NOTE" to your post on this thread, you can answer the following question. Could you honestly say that you prefer to listen to hundreds of hours of engine noise or music scores.

GE-F110-100C - Motor Test

Ares 1 - Motor Test

Best of Web 4

Les Chevaliers du Ciel

SIDE NOTE: I will take a good music score over an engine noise any day. "Just as long as it is not an overplayed music score".

can't think of anything more appropriate than carl sagan and his starship of the imagination.

Oh man, how could i forget in my last post... some good old IDM...

Access to Arasaka (for all you old school pen & paper rpg players, yes - that arasaka is meant )

And of course... Geomatic with their fabulous album 64 lightyears away... awesome in every aspect

Stendeck is an awesome band as well... spherical soundscapes meet nice dancable baselines (no oomz oomz... for those who fear)

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cNYP8jp3MHc?list=RDcNYP8jp3MHc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

All 3 bands are under contract of Tympanik Audio... search them on youtube for more of this awesome sound

Enjoy!

[Tantalus792]

Anything from Daft Punk.

Discovery makes a great.soundtrack for KSP IMHO.

Also become quite fond of putting Bowie on too, whether it's Let's Dance or Starman, goes quite well I think!

[Cmdr. Arn1e]

Just discovered that Primal Fear has a song called 'Lightyears from Home'... guess what the theme music for my Jool Mission has become?! xD

[PenguinLord]

Personally I always enjoy softer music like folk and some indie stuff, though occasionally a rousing sea shanty, or should I say space shanty gets me all sorts of excited.

[Joshwoo70]

Probably popskyy... (thanks das)

[Curveball Anders]

Cygnus X1 from Hemispheres is a good space tune for long travels.

 

[Candlelight]

I know this is going to be really weird...but i listen to WWE themes, especially The Miz' theme.It's not that i like WWE or wrestling in general, i just like their entrance songs.

[el_coyoto]

I like metal (Metallica mostly nowadays), electro (Daft Punk, Télépopmusik, Kavinsky, Gorillaz) and a bit of various stuff (Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, etc) but these days I'm totally stuck on Carpenter Brut : I listen to him whenever I play Cities Skylines or KSP. The guy is known for his participation the Hotline Miami OSTs.

He is usually classified as "Outrun" or "horror electro", but I don't know how to describe it better than "the perfect O.S.T for any 80's video game or movie" : I typically don't like 80's stuff (despite being 35, but too shiny, too loud, too kitsch), but his tracks have a perfect balance of light, quiet ambiance and dark, furious crescendos.

Awesome youtube playlist with a few other "Outrun" tracks from other guys at the end :

After a few months, I muted the KSP music ans started playing classic rock.  Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion, the who - eminence front, Def Leppard, John cougar Mellincamp, Ozzy, Billy Idol, etc. 

They seem to fiit any moment whether it's launch, while in space or landing on any surface body.

That's not very metal, it's more like mainstream pop (says the 50+ yo Sabbath head )

I have a very extensive playlist, but my favorite is "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!"

Fairly appropriate. My 1.1 download is finishing in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
