TOPIC: Music to code by . . .

Dave Ralph has some pretty decent stuff.  He has a two disk compilation of remixes called Tranceport II that I really love.  Project Pitchfork is a German duo that creates some really cool, but dark music with very profound lyrics.  Daimonion is one of their better albums.<br /><br />Man, am I coming across as a Goth at heart, or what?<br /><br />My wife paints to these guys as well as Joe Satriani.  PP is also one of my nine year old son's favorites as well :O.  It is a good thing he doesn't yet understand most of the lyrics.<br /><br />I guess I have rapped up the award for Goth thinking, most responsible parent of year  ;/<br /><br />Dave

Joyus,<br />      Brent Spiner played Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation.  He has an absolutely wonderful voice.<br /><br />Kim

Dash did a great DJ job at SoCal...any chance we will get that at INDY?

Just personally it matters on what's going on...<br /><br />If I have to code quickly:<br /><br />  Flogging Molly - "Salty Dog"  especially (best pirate song ever)<br />  The Pogues <br />  The Tossers<br />  Black Flag<br />  Fugazi<br />  Gogol Bordello (Gypsy punk music... can't beat that)<br />  Sepultura (especially the "Arise" album)<br />  Suicidal Tendencies (like BF, and Fugazi above, sometimes you just need a little<br />                              old school thrash/punk to get you through)<br /><br />If it's a more relexed/serene job:<br /><br />  Damien Rice<br />  Rufus Wainwright<br />  Los Lobos<br />  Modest Mouse<br /><br />Just to name a few groups that I think are great listens...<br /> 

Thanks for the suggestions. <br /><br />In free time I've been checking out new names to me you all have been dropping through iTunes  and Amazon.<br /><br />Right now I've started a codin playlist based on what I have, and suggestions I was able to encorporate so far. I lookforward to looking into the artists y'all have suggested.<br /><br />Currently my Codin Playlists has music by or from;<br />Southern Culture on the Skids(have to start off with a song that can make you smile!), Garbage, Elvis & JXL, Everything but the girl, Muse, Tom Petty, Aqua, Robbie Williams, 3rd Eye Blind, Sheryl Crow, Baz Lurhman, Fatboy Slim, Sneaker Pimps, Brother, Blackmore's Night,<br />Tricky, Hooverphonic, Esthero, Delerium, Daft Punk, BT, Underworld, Balligomino, Queen, Heart,Stereo MC's, Leftfield, Orb, Prodigy, Scooter, Moby, Dimitri from Paris, ATB, Little Bitchard & Mel Function, Natalie Imbruglia, New Order, Kraftwerk, Mari Boine, No Doubt, Run Lola Run Soundtrack, DJ Shadow, Outkast, Karamix, Jori Hulkkonen, (Mario Pui', Mauro Picotto & Amel Whaby), 5th Element Soundtrack, Paul Oakenfold, Austin Powers Soundtrack(am a sucker for Spy Jazz), Propeller Heads, Hive, Bosco, St Germain, Afro Celt Sound System, Blumchen, Daniel Cox, Digital Explosion, Weezer, Transient, Yngwie Malmsteen, Hallucinogen, and Remy Zero.<br /><br />Its only 8.4 hours long so far, so I'll be sure to work in more new stuff thats been suggested.

Hokie Smokes...I said I was a Kraftwerk fan for 10 years...try 20 years...my my my.

heehhehee, and you're still adorable, although quit throwing numbers like that around, you'll make me feel old. <br />The eldest sib I noticed the other day starting to get grey. Oh no, we're getting old. <br />ehehehehehhee.<br />*cranks up Barracuda by Heart* *flutters wings to the beat* *smile*<br />

If you like Yngwie Malmsteen, try Joe Satriani or Steve Vai.  I have many albums by all three and I like Joe the best.  For a more jazz/classical/rock fusion there is always the original Alan Holdsworth.<br /><br />For other jazz fusion, Alan often plays with Bill Bruford and/or Steve Morse.<br /><br />I think I remember you mentioning Spanish influenced music.  There is an album called "Passion Grace and Fire" by Al DiMeola, Paco DeLucia, and John McLaughlin that is essentially three acoustic guitar masters sitting on stage jamming together.  Al and John also have quite a bit of jazz fusion stuff.<br /><br />All these artists were study and chill out music for me in College.<br /><br />The techno/industrial stuff came later.<br /><br />Dave

The "Mortal Kombat" motion picture soundtracks (there are several of them) are a good way to sample various artists in the techno/industrial genre.  I thoroughly enjoy them. 

Thanks for the suggestions. <br />Yeah, Ottmar Liebert is flamenco guitar. I enjoy it, have a few cds of his. Will have to check out those other guys you suggested. <br /><br />And will look at the MK soundtrack, I have song from it already 'It Has Begun' by moby.<br />Soundtracks can be a great way to have a sampling of different artist, or some interesting remixes.<br />Like I have never gonna come back from Gone in 60 seconds, couple tracks from Grosse Point Blank, a track from Austin Powers, the sound track for French Kiss, Hackers, Hackers 2, 2 Disk Phantom of the Opera, A track from Run Lola Run, a track from scooby doo, a track from shrek, a track from Swordfish, couple tracks from the 5th element, The Matrix soundtrack, Princess Bride, a track from the wild thorneberries, a track from the Thomas Crown Affair, the Tomb Raider Soundtrack, a track from Toy Story 2, a couple James bond theme songs, The Saint Theme song, Starwars theme song remixed, got a superman theme song remix, a lost in space remix, and of course Disney stuff too. <br />Its been a while since I've gotten new music. So besides MK, any good soundtracks y'all would reccommend?<br />

i've always been partial to the soundtrack from highlander. have you heard any trans siberian orchestra? a friend had it, i it kind of grew on me. i didn't see any devo in the suggestions. they were like pioneers of techo.

LOL!<br />Its not too late, to whip, whip it good! *little laugh*<br />How can you not know Devo?<br />Will have to check out that soundtrack. I enjoyed the show, never saw the movies. Cool swords and sword fights, what not to like? *little laugh*<br />Have heard them, just don't have any TSO yet.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestions.
