Music depends on what we want to add... I tend to listen to hard rock/metal before a game to get myself into a groove and ready to jump IC. No special bands/groups, just anything with a heavy beat and rhythm. At the game sessions, when we visit bars/clubs IG... we usually hear euro-techno club stuff or death metal, depending on the rating of the neighborhood and venue. We rarely use atmosphere music that much anymore though.

I prefer something gritty and dark, and for general/street scenes I usually go with something industrial (Wumpscut, Einstürzende Neubauten, Hellsau or Die Krupps), mixing in a bit of rap (Cypress Hill, Wu-Tang Clan) and rock or metal (varies).
For the matrix I find that psytrance does wonders to represent the alien technological feel of cyberspace, I'm particularly fond of Wizzy Noise and Entheogenic here. Some of the eighties post-punk (I can't remember who suggested Sisters of Mercy, but that's spot on! I like Warsaw and Blondie as well) works as well, and Dark Ambient in particular is good no matter what game you run! There are a lot of acts these days, but my favorites are Camanecroszcope, Ad*Ver*Sary, IRM and Coil. |

David Bowie, who I've always thought sounded like he was from the future of the past.

For Imagery, I used this picture for the Free Spirit that offers Money for Karma.
For some reason, my group has never taken him up on the offer, no matter how desperate they are... |

I quite like this as both a source of imagery and music. Even the lyrics are relevant.

Slingers seems like it'll be a nice source of imagery for SR, even it's set a bit farther in the future.
In production now, supposedly. -k |

Different genres of music come out to play through the course of our play -
When I'm writing material, I use a lot of techno / dark punk stuff, with some pop stuff. This alternates between Skrillex, Deadmau5, DJ Tiesto, Daft Punk (the Tron soundtrack alone is amazing), Gorillaz, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Lady Gaga. During gameplay, the group revolves through industrial and dark metal. Lots of VNV Nation, KMFDM, old school NiN, Aphex Twin, Billy Idol, Ohgr, Skinny Puppy, whatever else my wife and a friend of ours will dig up. Then my players decided on a theme for themselves - the Turks theme from Final Fantasy VII. My wife has decided on Instant Karma for her character, a troll we've nicknamed Wrecking Ball. Ghostwalker's ended up with a taste for the Beatles - the club he runs for a little R&R he calls Revolution 9. For the ork fixer named Hollywood, I use some light rap (I dunno much about rap). |

Hamster Alliance makes a lot of music that's Shadowrun-compatible, for a variety of situations. Not to mention all his stuff is available for free downloading.
