I listen mostly to thrash / black / death / heavy / doom metal but I'm also a big fan of good old 70's classic rock. Martial industrial / neo folk are fantastic genres, too! Aaaaand I love soundtracks and ambient songs. Traces of classic and progressive songs can be found in my song list, too.

 

There are too many bands to list them all up but some stuff is rather extreme while other bands are really quiet. I play guitar, bass guitar and drums and I'm active in one black metal band and in one band called "Staub" which makes some kind of gothic metal / rock.

I'm the fucked up bass guy in this one. :D

@Loa4ever: Yeeeah! Celldweller is a beast! Love his stuff.. Do you listen to Blue Stahli also? (His buddy and sometimes co-worker.)

 

But yeah... I used to be a big metal head (with the long hair and black clothes and stuff) but then I discovered that I just can't like one kind of music and ignore the rest (due to genre differences and the usual crap cliques usually complain about) and I started seeing a pattern in other music that I tended to like in metal and I started listening to more and more electro/techno music.

Electro music is pretty much the largest chunk I listen to nowadays. This is usually because the music is monotone (and often lyric-less) so I can easily work to it.

But it doesn't stop there, I listen to pop, RnB, Hiphop, Ambient, Classical(sometimes), Rock, Punk, Black metal, Techno metal, Noise, Dubstep, UK Bass, Moombahton, Death metal, Thrash metal, Heavy metal, Chiptune, 8-Bit, Hardcore, Gabber, Emo, Screamo aaaaaaaand pretty much whatever else there is. Let's just say I listen to everything becaaaause: I think that: If the song is good, the song is good. No need to worry about genre or anything of the sort, can't deny what you like, right? :)

These days I'm getting into indie bands.

Generally I guess I like industrial rock and electronica (also ambient electronic), folk metal or goth metal, some jazz (& some hiphop if it's jazzy. I play jazz piano too), on Pandora I often put it on the Deep House genre station, very chill ... postrock, some folk. I'll listen to almost anything quality though...

 

NIN, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre, Air, Orbital, Depeche Mode, Thievery Corporation...

Eluveitie, The Birthday Massacre, Alice in Chains, early Foo Fighters...

Josh Ritter, Sufjan Stevens, Uncle Tupelo & its descendents Wilco & Son Volt

Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Built to Spill...

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Been listening to this track today. Although it was added in 1997, it was made in 1991. (internal texts say so)

 

I feel he should have done more with the guitar at the end. That's a good sounding sample.

Sorry just to respond to you now XD, about Blue Stahli not really but I can give a try :). And yes we shouldn't ignore the otehrs styles and respect others personal likes, but you have to admit nowadays the music isn't in good. A person can be famous very easily not having good voice and like a explosion you alridy famous.

Some soundtracks are good, nice reference guys :).

In England a huge chunk of our saturday night TV is taken up by talent shows that have people singing well known songs. Most of these people sound the same and bring nothing new to the table. The people who win are lucky if they get a No. 1 hit and stay famous for a year. After a year they are forgotten about (and rightly so) and we're on the next flavour of the year. Instead of trying to create a legacy and doing something new in music they just care about being famous. This is the unfortunate state of poular music in the UK. Quite a step down for the country that brought you The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. I can't speak very well for other countires.

 

For me personally I've been through lots of stages in my life where I listened to various genres of music. I now a have a huge catalog and listen to anything depending on my mood. The last couple of days I have been listening to Rachmaninov, Depeche Mode, Skunk Anansie and Skinny Puppy to name a few.

That cases are very rare and I agree with you. That just happen with people with real talent but after a few years or enven months disapear like nothing.

I'm really enjoying Blackgaze at the moment which is a cross betweeen black metal and shoegaze. I'm listening to Alcest and An Autumn for Crippled Children at the moment. I also find that their progressive and atmospheric qualities makes them really good to work to.

Yeah Alcest is some Black Metal from France - and it really sounds like that too xD

 

How do you mean? Apart from the singer singing in French I can't hear anything that really defines them as French.

As a side note the only language that I speak is English and I absolutely love it when a band sings in another language. I get a completely different experience from the music when I cannot understand the lyrics and I wish more non English speaking bands would do this. I guess it's because I can attach my own personal meaning to the song instead of the singers. The singers accent also sounds a lot better when they sing in their mother tongue. Maybe they think they won't be succesful but this was never a problem for Rammstein.

Its a great remix, but I still say the piano part was better in the original version. This can be found at 2:53. The original had a louder piano with only one note playing at a time, making the melody easier to distinguish.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
