Too funny reading this post right after doing a search for SR music. Check out Harmony steels site and her tune for Dantes Inferno. Also brought a smile to my face to see another old Helloween fan, just put some on my Ipod other day. Have a friend who made a CD with about 20 SR themed songs all with Shadow in the title. Need to see if he can post em.

but when I am writing about shadowrun(which I'm supposed to be doing now) my play list looks something like this:


Is it wrong that when I write for SR I'm usually listening to either Bluegrass or Motown..? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

We haven't played with music on in the background in forever, and when we did it was just background music and not part of any theme or anything. Our group did put a CD together for a DnD group once; all the characters had a themesong (everything from C.R.E.A.M. by Wu Tang to Ironman from Black Sabbath and even Hall and Oates' Maneater) and the group as a whole (Bad Company by Bad Company). I even threw Who Let the Dogs Out on there in honor of the ranger's many animal companions who were killed by area affect spells (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Some songs have seemed perfect for razorgirls and gangs like the Desolation Angels. These include "Celebrity Skin", by Hole, and "I'm Only Happy When It Rains", by Garbage.


I had a recurring NPC razorgirl who was a member of the Ancients at one point. Zombie By the Cranberries was the inspiration behind her.

One of my favorite PC's was inspired by If I Ever Leave This World Alive by Flogging Molly.

When I run SR, I tend to pick out music based on location. For example if my runners go into Infinity I'm partial to playing Daft Punk's Alive 2007 cd and i have some live Crystal Method sets. I like that you can hear the crowds in the back ground and it gives the club a little more life to it.
For general non-specific background noise I really like Shiller's Prologue EP ( I think it's out of print, but you can find it on pirate bay) has ambient background noises mixed in with the keyboards and isn't distracting.

I have various mix playlists of Synthpop and Industrial if they want things a little more upbeat that aren't vocal heavy.

I've also found the String Tribute Albums can be a pretty good background music depending on which group is being covered and whoever composed the quartet. I'm partial to the System of a Down, Tool and Depeche Mode albums. These also work well for D&D and the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack is fragin' fantastic for most RPG's.

LOL, I tried to mix that in,Fortune,but like Sara Mclaclan's"out of the shadows" It sounded really out of place. also had to dump "Blinded by the light" by manfred mann since it didn't have "shadow" in the title (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

For the new 4th edition game that I'm starting I'll be going to my roots, to the music my GM used to use when I started SR. I'll be mixing in a fair amount of Nine Inch Nails, Static X, and some other intelligible metal with a smattering of Chemical Brothers and The Crystal Method, possibly some Daft Punk if I find some good live sets. I try to ignore music with lyrics, so that it can just sit in the background and fit the whole mood of the game really well. I'm also considering the Soundtracks from the Armitage Anime's, but I'd like to hear them with out having to buy them, lol. I've heard good things about them, though. All in all those examples represent my theme for the game, which I think should be real exciting.

Here's my massive SR playlist - it's about five and a half hours long, mostly because I designed it to be session background music.

I'll see your five and a half and raise you a little over a hundred and four. Let's see if the forum software allows this.

Oh, and given the in-character chat from April, I would expect people to add Fatboy Slim's "Ya Mama" to their mixes.

I listen to a lot of industrial, Skinny Puppy, Wumpscut, Das Ich, Laether Strip, Unheilig, VNV Nation, Apoptygma Bezerk, Front 242, Eric Fish, Die Form, Emilie Autumn, and so on.

I listen to the also when gaming, but more often tan not I just put in the soundtrack to Reservoir Dogs.

I tend to think of my campaigns as a TV series - one that would probably be on HBO or Shoetime because there's no way it would ever be on network TV. Nevertheless, I tend to imagine what songs would be played in the episode. As such, I try to give a good mix of themes and feels. Of course, I am biased. Here's my choices in no particular order. Some of them odder than others, but bear with it.

1) Change the World The Offspring (mostly the beginning)
2) Dead Man Jars of Clay
3) Zombie The Cranberries (I know it was here before, but it's that good)
4) Queen of the Reich Queensryche
5) Personal Jesus Marilyn Manson
6) Oops, I Did It Again Fell (a death metal cover of the Brittney Spears song. Damn creepy, but fitting)
7) Stay Hungry Twisted Sister
8 Saints of Los Angeles Motley Crue (just heard it, maybe I need to run an L.A. game)
9) King and Queens Aerosmith (for walking through catacombs of a suspected hive)

More as I think of it.

Isn't Zombie by Cranberries about a historical insurrection that took place somewhere in the British Isles? It seems kind of off-topic for Shadowrun.

People don't pay attention to the words, just the feel of the song (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It freaked me out when my GF was trying to get me to dance when they were playing it at this concert we went to oh so long ago... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

That always irritates me. Much like the protagonist of American Psycho, I feel like if someone likes a song they owe it to themselves to read the lyrics so as to better understand the intentions of the artist. Besides, it makes it more likely that you'll pull a Stephen King by inappropriately blurting out some Ramones lyrics while being chased by a Blood-esque supernatural entity.

This morning an old friend of mine emailed me asking me where I was and if I were "chasing any girlies". I replied that girlie chasing was something which I was "historically unable to do".

Def Leppard lyrics are proof of this

"rise up gather round
rock this place to the ground.
burn it up,go for broke,
watch the night go up in smoke.
rock on! rock on!
Drive me crazier,
No serenade, No fire brigade,
just a pyromania!"

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) its like a bunch of catch phrases strung together. I still shudder every time I hear it. I mean how can you even try to rhyme "crazier" and "pyromania"?? someone needs to have their poetic license revoked!

Black Holes was one of my favorite albums to come out in the last few years, but I really don't think it fits Shadowrun very well.

My favorite thing to play during my games is the System Shock 2 soundtrack. Its a wonderful mix of creepy, atmospheric and angry electronica.

I still have my Alex Cremer SR CD & the Harmony Steel tracks on my computer.


Speaking of which, has anyone heard from Shev? He/she used to post here, but after inquiring about the very subject of this thread, there's been no response.

I try to use film scores and such to augment my sessions because I've had SR sessions devolve into music discussions when people tried to listen to the lyrics. I use location and situation based soundtracks though, so I got a few exceptions though.
For example I got a few short playlists for certain types of nightclubs 'n bars the runners might visit.
I'm severely lacking on Orxploitation stuff though. I imagine it to be similar to hardcore rap or crossover, so I tried to find some bands of these genres who sing in Russian, Arabic or such to get an "orcish" feel by using a lagnuage noone at the table comprehends. Closest I got is Molotov but the feeling is ruined for anyone who's ever been educated in any romanic language and even those without can easily spot that it's Spanish, not Or'zet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
