guachi Posted November 13, 1999 Share Posted November 13, 1999 Does anyone listen to music while playing CM? I like Big Band music and I finally got around to listening to it while playing CM. I put on some Glen Miller. It seemed appropriate since he was a Captain in the Army, I think, and toured around playing for the troops. It didn't seem to fit, though. It was entirely too upbeat. It's kind of odd listening to 'One O'clock Jump' or 'Stomping at the Savoy' while a Tiger and a bazooka team have a gun duel at close range. I then decided to only play the music during the plotting phase and that worked a little better. When the Big Band CD was done I put on Nine Inch Nails and that worked just fine for the chaos of combat. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Foobar Posted November 13, 1999 Share Posted November 13, 1999 hey guachi, i have been working on putting together some music in mp3.format maybe 8 tracks for germany, and the same for allies. I have found some sources on the net for German Marching music (authentic) but I havent decided for the Allies yet, for the reasons you listed. CM2 would be easy; The Russians have great music to choose from, but we Americans are far too corny. If you have any sources of mp3's (legal), let me know, because I'm sending this to Fionn when I'm done with it. (By the way, NIN is graet for it, but I've got a song by Wumpscut called Bunker Gate 7, the best fight song I've ever heard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted November 13, 1999 Share Posted November 13, 1999 How about "American Patrol" for the Deployment phase. I play SPWW2. It's got a really oustanding music program that adds to, rather than dominates the game. It's the first time I ever DIDN'T turn off the music on a war game. I say you guys have a great idea to add music... I hope you'll give a listen to SPWW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassius Posted November 13, 1999 Share Posted November 13, 1999 Personally, I usually listen to "Sweet Sorrow" by Sarah Chang. Nothing quite like a background of slow, sad violin music while your Tiger shells a huddling American squad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted November 14, 1999 Share Posted November 14, 1999 Errrrrrrrr Sorry no music for me! You must be bored There's plenty of music in the game as is, ahhh of the sweet symphony of clanging metal as my opponent's Sherman brew up ;0 ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Homepage - Just updated, check out my MP3 www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted November 14, 1999 Share Posted November 14, 1999 Actually, The Sad Violin music is just how I often Feel about War in General. Edith Pilaf will work for me, too. John Phillip Souza, save it for the Fourth of July! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 14, 1999 Share Posted November 14, 1999 Hmm, the best fight music ever? I'd like to hear it, give me your e-mail and maybe you could send it over to me? The address you have listed doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Foobar Posted November 14, 1999 Share Posted November 14, 1999 lee, list your address here and I will send you the tune(s). I am nowhere near finished with the music list, but this Wumpscut HAS to be heard. My other email is lawsona@home.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jenkins Posted November 14, 1999 Share Posted November 14, 1999 "O Fortuna" in Carmina Burana by Orff. I still think it would be great intro music. ------------------ Climb to Glory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcarey Posted November 14, 1999 Share Posted November 14, 1999 Definitely O Fortuna for the intro... In Game, not sure yet - maybe depends on whether you are the kicker or the kickee in the current battle. - Bill Carey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
