DC-Saturn MUSIC fanatics -- I need your help...

[Steven]

Tomorrow I have an assignment -- a musical assignment. I need to act out 2 to 5 minutes to a song without ANY lyrics... I need to create a scene or situation by myself dictated by the music. I cannot speak BTW.

Now I have 200 Saturn games and 50 DC games, which ones have the best atmospheric music recommendations? Pick a game, its track number if you can, and I'll pop it in, give it hear-see, and see if I can't come up with a scenario for it... thanks....

Cyber Troopers VirtualOn (Saturn) - In The Blue Sky (Flooded City stage / Temjin stage / Stage 1)

My all time favorite piece of video game music, the Saturn version isn't my favorite rendition but it's still great.

Might I recommend anything from PSO ep. 1?

Sonic 3D Blast has some nice pieces, particularly the Rusty Ruin tracks (7 and 8). They hover around the three minute mark, so those might work.

DAYTONAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or go all Beavis and Butthead with a song from Sega Rally.

This is the kind of thread I always end up discovering new music from.... it's the best thing about the "long tail" and music.... before u had to read in a magazine or hunt around in a record store to find something cool -- which made the choices always subject to the "gatekeeping" of editors and music store buyers and etc... -- which would lead inevitably to mediocrity and the prevalence of "poser music" -- i.e. stuff that you want to like because you think it's cool, not because you really like it. Music journalism especially creates high-profiles for really lame stuff, because journalists are always looking behind their backs, trying to profile something that they think in 2 years people will think they were cool for liking "way back when".... I GREATLY prefer the democratic nature of threads like these, where people simply list their tastes and you can just look something up on itunes or youtube and check it out for yourself....

These days I'm really into techno and techno/rock and stuff like that -- try searching for these songs:

Thomas Falke "Revolution On The Dance Floor"
Groove Cutter "My Shooter"
Control One "Just A Little Bit"
Ian Carey "Redlight"
Kevin Weg "Dead Radio"

I don't usually go for techno but these are sort of like a weird crossover between rock and techno/trance.

Here are also some downloads with some other cool stuff too -- http://www.electricfilebox.com/tracks

Baroque (http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums.php?id=60) (recently remade for the PS2/Wii) for Sega Saturn perhaps?

The music as well as the game itself is atmospheric... in a grotesque way. The whole soundtrack is worth a listen. Best listened to while imagining a dark post-apocalyptic world filled with deformed and mutated angels and demons.

EDIT: Disregard post, 2 year old thread.

I'd recommend any track from the 1st Panzer Dragoon game. Besides the fact that the music is stunningly lovely, it's also timed to events in the game, being an on-rails shooter. (Meaning that the music tells a story for which dance or a mimed scene can easily be constructed.)

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Sonic R - Supersonic Racing. or Living in the City.

that is all.

[crazyjackcsa]

The Sonic R games have lyrics. The opening to Nights or something off of Panzer dragoon would be nice.

Does it have to be DC/Saturn??

I was gonna suggest Magical Sound Shower from Outrun, or the BG music from Space Harrier...

Otherwise, why not try a track off of Rez?
