Albums from the "Music in D&D" article


Dragon Magazine General Discussion


I am really intrigued by the Playlists featured in this article, but I find I don't know a lot of the albums. Obviously the Carnivale soundtrack was featured heavily, but I'm particularly interested in the Savage Tide playlist. Is there any chance we can get these album names?

I wondered the same thing until I checked out the iMixes are on iTunes. The albums are listed there. Unfortunately many of the tracks cannot be purchased individually, so you can't just buy the mix.

It's true that you can't just purchase individual tracks, but for the Savage Tide soundtrack, at least, I tried to keep the number of albums on the list narrow. Using multiple tracks from the same composer/same album really helps keep it all thematically similar. And in my opinion, those albums have a LOT of good stuff on them beyond what we used for the Savage Tide soundtrack, and if you're a fan of movie soundtracks, they're excellent choices to pick up. Especially the soundtracks to "Eaters of the Dead" and "The Omen III: The Final Conflict."

I'm feeling pretty dumb, but how do I find iMixes on iTunes? There used to be a tab on the store homepage, but, for the life (or iLife) of me, I can't find it now...can anyone point me in the right direction?

I followed the instructions carefully to get to the playlists on iTunes, but they don't appear to be listed - could this be because I'm accessing iTunes UK?

It would be very helpful to see the Battle, Horror & Town playlists listed in full, and also to see the Savage Tide mix album names too (as track titles such as 'Main Title' aren't too helpful).


Paz, can you bring that issue on Dragon along tommorow? I might have some of the CDs.

I particularly like the soundtrack from the remake of The Fog, it's atmospheric enough to be appropriate for dungeon exploration but neutral enough that it isn't distracting. I like a lot of Graeme Revell's music for gaming; I leaned pretty heavily on the Sin City and Aeon Flux soundtracks for my d20 Modern game.

You can get more info on Graeme Revell, including a list of soundtracks he's done, here.

Ahh...If I read more closely, I would have noticed the explicit instructions in the body of the article...

Too bad, that the mixes are only available at iTunes.
Problem is that I don't own an iPod or planing to do this.

I need mp3-songs which aren't offered at iTunes... :((
Or is there a way to purchase these songs as mp3s?

Greetings,
Günther

I really liked the article about D&D music. I found some very good and useful thrilling music. It is a pity though that I can't use the Imixes in the country I live in. Isn’t it possible to publish the lists also on the internet? At least I would like to know the albums on which I can find 'Main Title' and 'Religion'.

Many thanks,

Veterial


Paz makes a good point - last time I checked, we poor UK subjects are not able to access the iTunes US site, and the playlists don't seem to be available on the UK site.

Besides, I actually like buying my music on CD and then converting it to MP3s for my own use.

So, a listing of the albums used would be nice to have.

I'm not familiar with iTunes. Does it only synch with iPods, or can you use any MP3 player with it?


Yes, maybe Paizo could arrange for someone (maybe one of us fans?) to put up the lists on iTunes Europe.
@Guennarr: you can burn the songs to CD and make mp3 of it, ok it is more work, but that's what I would do anyway with my purchases from iTunes.
@Sean Robson: you really need the iPod to directly sync your songs from iTunes to your portable device. If you have any other mp3-player you could still use the method I mentioned above.

Thanks Belfur.

Given that purchasing the tracks from iTunes is complicated for non-iPod users, would it be possible, James, to get a list of the albums from which you selected the tracks in the Savage Tide play list so we could buy them from another source?


I'd like to add my voice to the request for an album listing, as someone else who has no access to itunes. Google answer the question for a lot of the tracks, but entries like "Main title" remains mysteries.

And that worked for you? I feel like an idiot - I swear I followed every step, typed in iDragon as listed... and nothing shows up.

Yup - still not working. I updated to the most recent iTunes. I found 'More in Music' in the music store. There was nothing labeled "iMixes" only "iMix" so I clicked that. I typed "iDragon" in the search bar - no matches found. For kicks, I tried Savage Tide, used upper and lower cases, nothing.

Is this just a no-go in Canada, or something? It's a two step list of instructions, and I swear I'm following it.


For the Canadian/European Users: In iTunes, at the bottom of the store page, there's a pulldown menu where you can change the store. Choose "United States", then at the top left, click "Music", then "iMix" and search for iDragon. Works for me (Germany). Hope it helps.

You are hereby my new favourite person.

I can't actually buy anything, but at least now I know what the lists looked like. *sigh* That was a few hours of total frustration.

So, while I can see the lists by switching to the U.S. version, my account will not allow me to purchase (nor to set up an account that would let me purchase, the option is only: switch back to Canadian store).

Still, thanks. No longer feeling totally frustrated.

I just typed in the names of the tracks on iTunes. Most of the songs come off of the Master and Commander, Apocalypto soundtracks. I used them for the first time today. only issue I had is that combat against the Brotherhood Blockaid took so long that we heard the same song like 15 times I think. I gotta practice more with how to utilize these songs in my game. My PC's deffinately LOVED the music, just got a bit repetative.

PS...on iTunes you will have to download the entire album rather than just the individual tracks.


It looks like iMixes are gone from iTunes now - any chance of getting the lists posted here? I was slowly collecting the right pieces (and have to say GREAT choices, for the most part!!!), but now cannot find them.

The lamest ninjas in the world, those who would oppose... The TICK!

My personal favorite: Ninjas attacking Paul the Samurai at the airport, and the ninjas who stand between the fight and tourists with signs saying:

"Ninja demonstration." "Nothing to see here." & "Please move along."

Ahhh, takes me back...
