what's everyone listening to these days?

Music! Nah, but seriously a bunch of mixed cues from different scores and some pieces of electronic music, but i'm very selective when it comes to that ;>)

GOOD Music

THE LODGER
new music for the Hitchcock film composed by Nitin Sawhney

Is this the forum to post this?

Nine Inch Nails

....LOTS of scores

Portman, Amar, Isham, Kaczmarek, Doyle, Preisner... but also Zimmer, Djawadi, Jablonsky...

and then...some Rock/Pop/New Age/Classic/Jazz stuff

Dare (the new album), 3 doors down, 80ties stuff, Muse, Milow, Sarah McLachlan, Kitaro, oh yes and the fantastic 3 guitar meditation albums by soulfood, david arkenstone, david darling, enya, gandalf, ben webster, charlie haden, earl klugh...

Last Samurai recording sessions....

Random stuff on my PSP 3000 model - mostly random FF tracks (OST and arranged versions/fan remixes), but also a fair few Castlevania tracks as well.

I can't really remember what else I have on it without loading it up though, other than miscellaneous 70s, 80's and 90s rock and instrumental stuff - I don't put whole albums on my players but individual tracks, as I'm picky like that. ;)

Also, welcome back Sparky. :D

The soundtrack to Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the betrayer

a bunch of noir jazz musice ive gathered around the web.

I haven't added anything new to my mp3 player in over 2 years.

What I mainly listen to off of it is video game OSTs like Silent Hill 2-6, Hotel Dusk: Room 215, Chrono Cross, and Shadow of Destiny.

Some anime OSTs like Gankutsuou, Ghost in the Shell: SAC & 2ND Gig, and Blue Submarine No. 6.

Metal like Dethklok, Scar Symmetry, Meshuggah, Devin Townsend, Gojira, and LOG.

And some more independent, underground favorites like Poperratic/DEUXO, Schpilkas, and Juxtagon

I'm a Japanese music junkie, so a crap ton of that plus OST's, a few mandarin artists, techno.. mix of everything.
This nerd is nothing without her iPod. XD

hmmm.... Michael Jackson, Nujabes, Esbe, Avens, Yellowcard, Thomas Prime, 2cellos, P.O.S., among many others.

Bands like Hammerfall, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Indica, AC/DC, Paramore, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Manowar, Amon Amarth, Halestorm, Disturbed, DragonForce, Disturbed, Rob Zombie, ZZ Top and WWF/WWE entrance themes.

chrono cross ost is da-bomb!...my favourite!...

i also love resident evil 1, 2 & 3 ost, such a classic horror...

currently i'm listening to Brandy - Two Eleven, great album...

I've got a bunch of video game music. Mostly Nintendo and Bemani stuff. I also have some anime music from Wolf's Rain, Baccano!, G.I.T.S. S.A.C., and some J-Core like HARDCORE TANO*C, and Sketch Up! Records. I love psytrance so I've got some of that too. Mainly full-on and night. Also have some non vgm and anime music, but not much since I'm very picky about what I listen to outside vgm, but it's mainly psytrance and electro music.

video game music and anime music and some random techno albums i downloaded

Yes is "Shining" I know...but so...good inspiration I think, :) !!!!

Am�lie-les-crayons albums, We Bros. X and White Sun/Black Moon by salvation by faith records, couple of DDBY releases and Monster Hunter Danceable.

I never listen to them though, I'm not too fond of listening to stuff when walking/cycling/taking the bus or train etc.

Total nerd playlist, I downloaded all the Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Prince of Tennis anime OP and endings on my phone. The rush of nostalgia that hit me almost makes me sad. It's like listening to music from the 90s. Other than that I've been just listening to the latest music. Pitbull's Feel This Moment using samples from aHa's Take on Me is really catchy right now xD

Soundtracks and Scores in FLAC player !!!

Persona 4 Golden OST and some random OST from FF.

PSP - Mainly video game composers (aka. Soundtracks), GACKT, Angela Aki (not really all of her stuff), Ayaka (at this time only 'Why'), Koda Kumi, The Black Mages, Voice Actors (JP) from Dynasty Warriors 7 and 8

For some reason the instrumental version of Eyes On Me doesn't work on my PSP, but it does on the cell phone's audio player.

Battleship soundtrack =)

Loads of New Order, bit of Scritti Politti, AiM, Aphex Twin, Tales of Vesperia soundtrack and a bit of the Onegai Teacher Ortensia stuff.

I got the Black Mages albums on there, also Most of the dragonball z us music from the show and the history of trunks special (which took forever to find), A bunch of newgrounds artists Paragon X9 mostly though, and a bunch of other video game scores from castlevania to zelda.

also old school rap like ice cube nwa etc.

Damn zune hd.

Future World Music - A Hero Will Rise (2012)

All of the cues are short because it's production music.
OMG it's so beautiful!

FWM is great for their cues.
They can really depict adventure in the mind's eye.
Solid percussion too when it permits.

Yeah they are one of my favorite production music providers. :)

Some Queensryche at the moment.

Some Queensryche at the moment.

What album? They are my favorite progressive metal bands of all time...well before the American Soldier album anyway.
They shot themselves in the foot getting rid of Chris DeGarmo who was their chief lyricist and after axing Geoff Tate they are dead in my eyes.

I think we're practically on the same wavelength. Spooky.

I had all their stuff up to Take Cover. I've given some of it away since, including Take Cover. I have to admit, although I don't like Bono, QR's live cover of Bullet the Blue Sky was awesome - the best thing on that CD - and a better rendition than that done by U2! Go figure.

Op Mindcrime and Empire were mega. But after a dry spell of, what, five or six years, their Promised Land album was a bit routine. I think they made too much money on Empire and put their feet up.

The last thing I bought, and kept, was the Remastered Queensryche album. It has the four original tracks, nice and crisp, plus 10 bonus tracks recorded live at Nihon Seinen-kan, Tokyo in 1984. [If you haven't already got that, it wouldn't bother me to upload that for you, and anyone else who fancies it].

The last Queensryche product I bought was the Revolution Calling (http://rateyourmusic.com/release/comp/queensryche/revolution_calling/) boxed set and it was fantastic! It had every studio album from the Queensryche EP to Promised Land and each disc had bonus tracks. It also came with an interactive PC game called Promised Land but I never played it. Those bonus tracks you mentioned are indeed the same ones on the boxed set version of the EP.

To elaborate on my last post, I have been a QR fan ever since hearing the EP on a cassette a friend of mine had way back in 1982. I have seen them live twice...1986 on their Rage for Order tour and in 1990 on their Empire tour and they were one of those bands who really shined live. When I heard that Chris DeGarmo left (not Michael Wilton) I knew it would be a bad thing for the band an I was right. The lyrics became overly repetitive which I cannot stand from any artist and it was clear that the chemistry had changed. Then when the voice of QR left last year I threw up my hands and said that was it for me. A friend of mine sent me a youtube link showing the new singer doing nothing more than imitating Geoff Tate and to me since two key members have left it's nothing more than a tribute band.

Well that's interesting. I think you knew 'em way before anyone I know - if you know what I mean. Excellent.

You can't have those two guys leave and expect the band to be the same. These things happen. You never know maybe he/they'll come back in 20 years time in a similar fashion to Rob Halford.

I know it's a bit odd posting here, but hey, we are in the NOW. If you haven't heard the first Roko album proceed to download it... (Personally, I think it's a gem).

Joel Goldsmith - Stargate stuff. :sad: RIP.

Joel Goldsmith - Stargate stuff. :sad: RIP.

I thought you did the RIP bit for Stargate, but looked it up - Joel's gone. WTF. Wasn't it his father that died nine years ago, also of cancer.

Got Seiken Densetsu 3 and Sword of Mana music on my player currently. Hoping to get more at this wonderful place. But I get a lot of classical music.

Nightwish.

All of it.

Just added Balance and Ruin to my PSP...and I love it.

Speaking of which I'm listening to it now.

Sorry for putting this here, but this is where I got it (for free): http://ff6.ocremix.org/ - I give these guys an A+ on these versions of Final Fantasy VI songs.

It's horrible!
I'm guessing that's why no one at MGM wants to touch the SG franchise.

We can always get Michael Giacchino.

I have the Lord of the Dance musical soundtrack, by Ronan Hardiman, very cheery Irish music, you can�t go wrong with that

Miles Davis,The Partridge Family,Molly Hatchet,Sweet, T-Rex,ELO,Genesis,Foghat,Howlin' Wolf,John Williams,Rolling Stones,Dio,Black Sabbath, AC-DC,Black Tide,Dario Marianelli,The Doors,The Beatles,Lynyrd Skynyrd,Bernard Herrmann,CSN,Graham Nash,Neil Young,KISS,Duke Ellington, Count Basie,Ben Webster,Frank Sinatra,Bing Crosby,David Crosby,Grateful Dead,America,Howard Shore,Perez Prado,Ennio Morricone......the list goes on and on 80GB of music on that thing now and I'm always rotating stuff.

just added:
Brian Eno 1983 - Apollo (Atmospheres & Soundtracks)
Brian Eno 1988 - Music for Films III
Not exactly driving music, more like acid dream stuff. Dark Ambient. Holy Crap my wall is full of stars!

MP3 Player?

I threw mine away once I discovered FLAC. Now I'm on a hunt for an official FLAC player >_<

MP3 Player?

I threw mine away once I discovered FLAC. Now I'm on a hunt for an official FLAC player >_<

These all have FLAC capability:

Samsung Galaxy Player
SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip
Iriver P7
Iriver LPlayer
Sony Walkman F800

If I were to move to a portable FLAC player I would pick the Sony Walkman F800.

Flac in a portable player is about as important as a child seat in my Jaguar F Type.

Coby has a decent line of portable players for a decent price.
Price kicks iShit's prices.
Coby USA website: mp3/mp4 players (http://anonym.to/?http://www.cobyusa.com/?p=pcat&pcat_id=2001)

I have the Coby M828-8GB thingy.
Supports FLAC, AAC, MP3, other formats.

Even has a really cheap video player but it requires all videos to be converted to 25fps and some other junk.
The video player was not as great as I had thought.

Save your money on video playback and get their regular line.
Unless you like touch-screen.
Had mine for a couple years and still kicking good. *knock on wood*

EDIT: big downside to Coby: no real support.
It's not easy finding documentation.
Keep the cardboard display that's part of the packaging because that's literally all the info you need.
There's no real manual or online support.

Just play music. The end.

LOL makes sense to me. I just listen to my FLAC files here at home but when out and about it's my Phillips GoGear that goes with me.

Oh cool. I have a Phillips GoGear too. I don't store FLACs on it since they take up like 5x more space than an mp3 file. But with my new car, I can hook it up to it, so I might have to try to play FLACs to see if there's a difference. I have 8GB with about 1.25GB left so I might as well try it.

I have lots of Rap and Hip - Hop tracks on my psp. Composed of A$AP Rocky, Tyler The Creator, Childish Gambino, Kid Cudi, Eminem, Kanye West, etc. I only have one soundtrack and it's MGS3 Snake Eater.

I love classical music and I have so many cycles of Beethoven's 9 symphonies that I don't space for much else!

If you like old Queensryche and Dream Theater, you will love this band. ;)
