[Mechanist]

Therion (from vovin to gothic kabbalah) suits very well DF

And for the lulz, saint seiya OST

[Flying Carcass]

I suppose some lazy spaghetti western or desert/wasteland guitar tracks might work as well?

Song for the discovery of adamantine?

I occasionally listen to "Geothermal" from the Cave Story OST.

[Chicken Launcher]

I posted this in another of the "music that reminds you of DF" threads -

Picture a peaceful embark site. At 0:50, dwarves arrive.

[Crossroads Inc.]

I think the problem here is that people are confusing there IMPRESSION of Dwarf Fortress with what the game actually is.
People think of all the 'fun' and the deaths, and killings, and explosions and the magma, and they think "Yeah! rock music! Head banging! Totally dude!"

 But Background music in a game isn't meant for that.  The original guitar instrumental currently works PERFECTLY for the game as it is, because despite what WE do to the game, at its heart its a game about simple Dwarfs, out in the wilderness, trying to lead simple lives.  The very elegant guitar music perfectly complements this.

If you WERE ever to add additional music to the game, I would suggest a system where the music changes as your fortress grows.  That is a more logical approach then heavy rock Music blaring when you are milling around with 10 or so dwarfs...

You could have different music from when you goto Hamlet, to town, to City and finally Metropolis.

My own music suggestions?
Well if oyu mixed: THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biaFj0S1jcs
With THIS: http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00638/
I think oyu would have a real winner. Both of them convey a busy growing city, without breaking frm a fantasy/medieval music feel.

As ofr a Metropolis sized theme, oyu can always do : http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=BA68851B2FAE6A27&search_query=koyaanisqatsi+the+grid

I like playing it with Bluegrass, mostly guitar and banjo.

[proginoskes]

when my dwarves become embroiled in a tragic spiral of rage and mourning, this seems appropriate.

i am in excessive agreement regarding Ecstasy of Gold

[FrisianDude]

Rammstein - Sonne and Grieg's Hall of the Mountain King.

[Caesar]

A playlist containing seventy-three songs which were at one point regarded epic by moi.

Or sometimes 'The history of the soviet union through the eyes of a humble worker arranged to the melody of tetris', by 'pigwiththefaceofaboy'.

[Gzalzi]

I think the music that is in the default soundpack for soundSense is really good. Sometimes I listen to some guy's MineCraft Playlist on YouTube, that has some pretty good selections.

[Bulwersator]

You guys should consider that DF is not primarily about violence/alcohol, it's a citybuilder at heart.

So I suggest Song of Durin (from the LOTR) - I like this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pISzxdEgDCU

necrodisclaimer: replying to old thread is better than creating a new one, and I planned this.

I think the music from the first Stronghold game fits DF quite well.  The siege music fits, and the ambient music fits most forts well (until the inevitable end, or if you're doing science experiments or something).

Next time a siege rolls around, I'm breaking out the Stronghold siege music.
