Bruckner, Mahler, Holst and Williams...you won't find better space-faring music!

RAMMSTEIN, nothing like a bit of GERMAN heavymetal/punk when you are setting out on a voyage of megalomania. LOL

Right now I'm still listening to the GalCiv music, but when I tire of that I'm sure a little Dimmu Borgir or anything from WWIII music will go quite nicely with my evil empire.

Drone MP3 Radio station. Very ambience heavy music

Juno Reactor -- particularly their first CD, Transmissions. Very heavily sci-fi themed trance on that one, and they're one of my favorites.

I liked listening to all my Delerium albums during 8-hour Civ3 sessions, so I'm trying that again with GalCiv. If I feel myself going to sleep (since I usually play from 10pm to 6am - don't ask) I switch the music to something harder, like drum 'n bass.

I am currently listening to my girlfriend saying "Turn that damn computer off!". Her AI is set to Genius/Chaotic-Evil so frankly I am a bit worried.

Doves, The Verve, Crystal Method, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Wilco and some Fu Manchu during wartime to give it that "Heavy Metal" feeling.

If I'm feeling aggressive (rather, if I've taken my game in that direction) I like to throw on some death metal. Most recently, Amon Amarth. How dare those Torians think they can resist me?! ATTACK!

XTC, They Might Be Giants, and Moxy Fruvous. No, they don't really go along with the game (Well, XTC occasionally does), but hey, they're my 3 fav. bands of all time, so.. Yeah.

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!!!!
Righto Damelon!!!

*THE BOSS* Rocks it!!!

Badlands you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good

I'm listening to some Hed(PE) stuff right now from the latest album and the chorus says: YOU CANNOT BREAK ME DOWN! LOL That's the message I have for the opponents! hehe!

TRS-80 for me.

WHAT! I can't believe it, no one even mentioned Sabbath! C'mon "Symptom of The Universe", "Electric Funeral", "War Pigs", and of course "Iron Man".

I also like the movie soundtracks, especially Star Wars, Hunt for Red October, even the theme from Conan the Barbarian. I need to get the soundtrack from the movie Dune (not the mini-series).

Another odd one I haven't actually listened too, but might be handy when you're fighting off the Drengin. Theme to the movie "Flash Gordon."

Personaly, Snoop Dog is good, "Cause I never hesitate to put a Drengin on his back"

Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is perfect for GalCiv. I've a bunch of Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre tracks on my playlist too.

Does anyone remember the music in 'Ascendancy' - short but amazingly atmospheric tunes (the micromanagement in that game was a nightmare though)

~SDC~

I use the soundtrack of Ascendancy (another 4x game).

I've been playing some Paul Van Dyk, Juno Reactor, and Aphex Twin.
