For some great music that conjures up images of Orxploitation and Trollsploitation and just about any other 'ploitation you can think of, check out the band Bionic Jive, especially "I Shot Lucifer".

Synthcore: I imagine something like Nintendocore wall of noise, and the vocals are oddly filtered like the scream in The Matrix.
Generic Shadowrun music that I'd want to play during a campaign would be cinematic, Holst or Orff style modern music at a faster pace, plus light techno and tribal undertones for atmosphere. |

It'd be fresh if someone made music for Shadowrun that is not entirely electronic sounding. With a lot of games, I use only certain tracks (fantasy, horror, -20's, middle ages, whatever the setting or genre is there's always something that goes well with it music whise). But Shadowrun is so multi-genre, and it's supposed to be in the future but still it has so many retro elements to it. I just use my entire catalog on my iPod when I GM Shadowrun. I'll play any kind of music, depending on situation. In a ganger encounter, I might play gangster rap. In a bug or zombie encounter I might play Delerium or some game soundtrack. I frequently use Crash, Royal Tennenbaums, Collateral and Donnie Darko soundtracks for all kinds of situations. I may play some country if the characters are traveling the highways. I may play Tom Waits at a shady pub. You get the idea.

Or probably because the Orxploitation section took the major events of the last fifteen years of hip-hop (ignoring the preceding 20) and condensed it into six months of SR time, added a 50 Cent figure instead of actually ripping it off completely (in no small part to sheer ignorance on the author's part close as I can tell) in CrimeTime and gave us a heaping pile of mental excrement. |

Yea, I got that impression, too, though Iīm ok with it, since music is not my world anyway.

It's kind of annoying though if one has tapes and albums going back to the '70s in one's collection.

I can totally see people getting altered and letting their trips drive the music.
For anyone who's a fan of ambient music, this man is in large part responsible for ambient music as we know it. If you're interested, start here: Ambient #1 / Music for Airports Pure, unalloyed sonic brilliance. |

There is a 'cyberpunk' performance artist out here who goes by the name 'Stelarc'. (google it.) He was into the making 'body music' thing. Using your pulse as a backbeat, adding in the breathing as a rhythm line, etc. He also had a third hand (mech) that was controlled by a muscle group in the off hand (it was mounted on one forearm, but the opposite arm controlled it (from memory, it has been about ten years since I've seen him). And he wasn't a gamer, just interested in the tech/body interfacing stuff. I suppose there would be a market for it in SR, let's face it, there's undoubtedly a market for Rap in Uzbekistan, so why not?
