Music.....

[brent norton]

Has anyone compiled a list of music for this AP yet? I know was thinking classical russian composers, but I was what about Narnia soundtrack, or find some old slavick folksongs? Any thoughts.

Nope not yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8btye5whFc

That's a stage theme from .Hack. Could fit. I would like to see this grow.

Theme music that'd work:

Rock:
Snowblind - Black Sabboth
Cold November Rain - Guns N' Roses
Cold as Ice - Foriegner
Aqualung - Jethro tull

Russian Classical:
Prince Igor- Russian opera (actually used in Conan)
Tchaikovsky- great Russian composer
Stravinsky- Ditto

The Full Metal Alchemist soundtrack is pretty great.

Otherwise there's Icewind Dale and Skyrim.

[Frerezar]

The soundtrack to Eastern Promises is quite good for a grimm and slightly depressing eastern european aura (specially for Walsby)

For something more eyrie (closer to a dark fairy tale vibe) the soundtrack for sleepy hollow works well also.

Hey, Rasputin Must Die! is being released soon. I thought I'd provide a couple more ideas for this thread. (Sorry for the Necro)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCFibtD3H_k - THE INTERNATIONALE (In Russian). This was the Russian national anthem in 1918. The lyrics speak of the working man rising up and bringing down rich and powerful. In a lot of ways it is an anthem not just for Communist Russia but for Communism itself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-gI_pFog0 - Hell March (C&C Red Alert Soundtrack). This one is a bit anachronistic as technically it is more associate with World War II persay. Still I think this playing in the background as our intrepid heroes fight against Russian soldiers and tanks would be really fitting.

Really anything by the red army choir is probably good somewhere in the AP.

or the anime version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaepnWhr09U - maybe for the female revolutionary in the second module

a softer POLYUSHKA POLYE if you don't want the all male version

Don't know how this avoided being mentioned to date, to be honest...

How about using that one for the Solveig and the Heralds of Summer's Return, and this one to introduce Waldsby:

Here's something else for Rasputin Must Die!
Tachanka!

[Yora]

Skyrim should produce a lot of useful stuff.

Check out the band Laibach. I'm a huge fan and have compiled a huge setlist to play while running this AP.

[Doctor Necrotic]

I've gotten a lot of milage out of the Russian themed levels from the TimeSplitters games... and considering Rasputin Must Die, the music really fits! (In fact, my take on RMD involves a potential sequel adventure inspired by TS2's Siberia level.)

Laibach is awesome! They have more than enough variety to fit the campaign... Industrial, neoclassical, and much more!

[Slamy Mcbiteo]

I went with more of a Russian folk/choir vibe....

This is on in background all the time low
Bogoroditse - Devo - Intro - Isthmus Vocal Ensemble

This is used when i creepy...
Brooms - Intro - Isthmus Vocal Ensemble

this is when it starts to pick up during creepy
Brooms - Ending - Isthmus Vocal Ensemble

another background one low and looping in the forest and through out Irrisen
Black Raven (Russian Folk Song)

not so creepy but seemed to fit
Two Guitars - Russian Folk

another one
Toombala (Russian Folk Song)

Still going to add more but I like the Russian folk theme so i will stick with i I think....
