Anybody out there download any of the suggested music in the last Dragon? I got a few of them and MAN they are great! I didn't even think of looking into those soundtracks. I've been using Final Fantasy music. The Apocalypto tracks really lend a nice "Creepiness" to the game. The only drawback is that on iTunes you have to download the entire album. Granted it's still cheaper than going out and buying them at the store. Anyways, I strongly recomend it!

You can add individual tracks by clicking the "buy song" link next to the track name in the list of tracks in the bottom pane, below the album description. You can reach the album description pane by clicking the album title next to the album cover wherever it shows in the iTunes music store.
I generally prefer to have the whole album, myself. Just in case there's other stuff on it that might be good. I bought an entire Patti LaBelle album just to get Lady Marmalade. Sadly, none of the other songs were (in my estimation) hidden gems ;)

ON most albums yes but on these there was no option to download just the tracks. Even next to the track list it said Buy Album. That was the only option on these...for now.
Try building a Pandora station around these artists to add flavor to the party in the BWGambit. Carnival !! (dont forget your beads!)

I have an iPod speaker system in my basement where we game, and I have made a "Savage Tide Mix" playlist for use in the game.
It contains the soundtracks for the first two "Pirates of the Carribean" flicks, "Master and Commander", "Last Samurai", "Jurassic Park", and a Yo-Yo Ma plays Bach on cello 2 disk set, as well as a few other selected classical music clips. The Last Samurai soundtrack would seem, at first glance, to be out of place, but it flows with the rest of it surprisingly well.
I'd also suggest the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack which is good for splitting up for a number of different kinds of themes. For clasical stuff I am adding Saint-Saens' "Samson and Delilah" and Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherezade".
For Malcanthet's pleasure palace, I hope to have background music consisting of Everybody Wants Some (VanHalen) [although I'm looking for a way to slow it down to dirge speed], Beautiful People and Sweet Dreams (Marilyn Manson), selections from Bloody Kisses (Type O Negative), some Thrill Kill Kult, and More Human Than Human (White Zombie).
I really recommend Rhapsody of Fire to anyone who can find their stuff; it has a Celtic Metal sound and is really good for a number of the scenarios.
I never thought of Jurassic Park but it would be really good for some of the Isle of Dread parts.

Mixing in the Tracks "The Orgy/The Kitchen" from Conan The Barbarian, "Oysters and Snails" from Spartacus and "Submission" from 300 give nice decadent vibe to the pleasure palace
