inannajones got a new computer. It's sleek and black and sexy, and it has a 111 gig hard disk, a gig of RAM, and a flat screen. Now, I get the parts from the old machine, and I'll be able to combine them into a better machine than my current 64M RAM, 15gig hard disk thang. But still, I have machine envy bad. I could get one of those. I'm trying hard not to, but it's very difficult.inannajones got a new computer.

OK, let's put it to the people. Results of this poll will not, of course, be considered binding in any way, unless it happens to coincide with wherever chance and coincidence take me.
[Poll #244647]
[Poll #244647]
Something I've been considering doing for games is putting together soundtracks for specific locations and specific moods I want to set.
Moods aren't hard, but locations are. I'm not looking for "music you would hear in this location", but "music that fits the feeling of this location".
Places I definitely want to have lists for:
Baator (lawful, evil, hell)
Ysgard (chaotic, good - Norse gods and the like)
Sigil (the city between the planes, half-alien, half-familiar, jaded, cynical, cosmopolitan)
Haelthan (think of Philip Pullman's Cambridge crossed with Medieval Paris - a university town, jammed to the rafters with wizards and scholars, a place everyone goes at some point)
Setting (Helsinki/Galway - coastal, a calm city at the heart of a trading empire, with a very long history and many long-standing traditions)
Velarin (London-like city, byzantine politics, and almost all trade in the continent goes through it - or used to until very recently)
Windhowl (an academy of necromancers and summoners, pretty much evil to the core, but very civilised, if alien)
The Moon Road (a plane/planar pathway, from which dreams can be seen and stepped into)
There'll probably be more posts like this in the future, too. What I'm looking for are actual tracks, rather than just bands - ideally, I'd like to know the track, the band and the album I can get it from. And then I shall start on putting CDs together. Suggestions?
(I have to creditshadesong with some of the movement towards getting these lists together; she's posting what's effectively a soundtrack to the movie of herself at a rate of two tracks every weekend.)
