<div class="IPBDescription">NS or NS2, whichever...</div> What group or artist would you want to do the soundtrack for or collaborate with Jeremy Soule to provide to the atmosphere of the game? Would you want to go for two different artists for each side (i.e. Tweaker (music for doom) for the marines and Trent Reznor/NiN for aliens, <i>as an example</i>) or just one throughout?
What be your thoughts? Go mainstream or underground. You're only limited by your imagination.

much of the ns maps represent a cold clean sterile style, while the the infected areas are an utter about turn, dark movements skuttling out of view, the walls pulse with life, the air would be clammy with a bitter taste.
to me? this suggests 2 entirely different style of tracks a pulse based rythem, by that, when action occurs (in the same style as nolf2 but many games have repeated this) the music changes, growing more agressive, perhaps even harrassing to the user for their pulse to reply in turn and make the excitment more viseral.
but something NS has always been about to me, is ambient noises, my early plays, having a gas pipe vent steam past me, in HL it happens, you ignore it, but in NS i emptied half a clip at a wall. flood the game with ambient noise, then, cut them off, welcome them to a cold empty "you are in space" with disparaent meaningless noise blips, almost as if they are imaginary, slowing comming to focus as the pulse on some server hub.
to me sound is the oft forgotten emotion aspect of a game, the thing that brings the memorable moment forwards.
If they go orchestral again i wanna b in on that <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
That was a kick*** song.
I'd say Marilyn Manson could get on Alien music with Soule. It'd provide that atmosphere of "I'm evil and loving it" and then NiN comes in on a heavy firefight on marine with Mr. Self Destruct.
His style fits NS perfectly, just listen to some of it while playing.

Why put everyone off playing? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I don't care if NS doesn't fit his style whatsoever, it's just there should be more excuses to hear his music. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I think The Absence (a very new band) could orchestrate some pretty kick **** "run n gun" music.

QFT (& just cuz i like the bands)
It'll be a beautiful sackpipe orchestra piece with 74 tambourines for the marine soundtrack, and the aliens will basically be a masterpiece in banjo.

You mean like Star Wars?
Or Jurrassic Park?
Or (name any movie with a good orchestral piece)?

For those who don't know Jerry Goldsmith, he was the guy with the ever famous Star Trek: The Motion Picture and The Next Generation theme. He also did other film scores such as The Mummy, U.S. Marshals, The Omen, Total Recall, and Alien.
Or how about Harry Gregson-Williams? Get the upbeat in some maps that are hardcore action, and infiltration.
