Laeth E'Thae/Future Prospects Music Requests!

seeing as how I have nothing more pressing at the immediate moment, I thought I would save this spot in myOtaku to mention the Laeth and OS music lists I have going. Call this an ambitious project, call it crazy, call me crazy, I don't care, I just thought I might do something different for my RPGs, and so far, Laeth and OS stick out in my mind. Well, Let's get down to business, should you want to add something to the music list, just put it here. If someone not in either of these RPGs decides to add a song to the music list, that's fine too, but reid wither of the RPGs first, and make sure you prove to me you've read them (you know, cite examples as to why youchose your music, etc.) Ok, here's my (albeit limited) uptade this week. Laeth E'Thae: The Grudge by Tool Eon Blue Apocalypse by Tool Bullets by Creed Courage by Alien Ant Farm OS: Future Prospects: Parabol by Tool Disposition by Tool Faaip de Oiad by Tool Raise Up by Saliva Calm like a Bomb by Rage Against the Machine In My Head by Pale 3 As you can tell, I recently bought the CD "Lateralus" by Tool, and that's where I got much of the music for this. The rest is older stuff. Starting with Laeth E'Thae Mcuh of my line of thinking behind these songs deviated from the normal course of the story, and sprung mainly into ideas I plan on using later on, with Madame Arcadia's permission. Therefore, these songs can only be used should my ideas work out. The Grudge is about exactly what it sounds like, a grudge. It is about nine minutes long, and works as a great fight song, with maybe some suspense added to it. I plan on using it with Kan's character, and it tells us a little about his history. Eon Blue Apocalypse is a song for Kaze, and the song itself is nothing but a 1 minute guitar solo. I like it, though, as it is relaxing and lonely in it's own way, making me think of Kaze. Bullets and Courage are both fighting songs, and they both are unique in the sense that, despite the fast pace, they convey a sense of desperation and anger, at least, according to me. OS:FP Parabol and Disposition are both songs to fit Rao's bill, so to speak, as they are both slowly moving, and convey a sense of deep thought and pain, as exhibited in the many text diaries Rao leaves behind in my posts. Parabol is a slower version of Parabola, which I mentioned earlier, and is also the prelude the the latter song. Furthermore, Disposition is technically only half a song, like Parabola, but it is quite long, and, in my opinion, fit's Rao, as it is more peaceful and relaxing. Faiip de Oiad, on the other hand, is more suspenseful and creepy, as it is not really a song, but more of a sound effect, as it appears to be a bad recording of an insane guy talking about the existence of aliens, while the static and sound effects build in the background. For this effect ot be similar, I interpreted the use of "aliens" in the story as being "SATA units", and therefore, the song fit more easily. Raise Up and Calm... are both good fight songs, since Raise was considered to be a radio rock remix of an earlier gunfighting song by the same band, and Calm is from the Matrix Reloaded St, go figure. In My Head also seemed to be a fairly natural choice, as it inspired me to do the scene where Sata enters Rao's head and replays his memories as a "replay file", which is very similar to the premise behind In My Head. Oh, and for one last strange fact before I go: "Sata" is the name of a Portuguese airline company that shuttles exclusive flights between the Azores and Canada. I used it when I couldn't think of a name, and didn't even think of the word "Sata" as being an abbreviation until I wrote it down. So long, folks, and mind your heads on the way out. -Won-daa-shot
