When I'm farewelling a fort, saying goodbye to a treasured dwarf or having dwarves fight a losing battle, the Ice Cap Zone music works well. It's sad, calm and hopeful all at the same time.


Just music to zone out to would be

Ultra Thizz and Dreamzz by a glaswegian electro producer. It's godly stuff and I have decent speakers on my computer so it sounds epic.

300 human/elf/dwarf/goblin/kobold bodies 20 random animal/fish/bird bodies and 3 dragon bodies all in one backpack. fun stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcjPFAV1foU&ob=av3e works really well to zone to.
I do so love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Good stuff. :P

I'm building a 'Siege Music Playlist' on my youtube channel. So far it's all RPG musics, i haven't really found any others that fit DF's medieval theme.
Both of these two are really great for sieges or ambushes against a foe you've little hope against, especially the Trance Kuja song.

"Dark Messenger" (Trance Kuja Battle) from FFIX

"Boss Battle" from FFIX

There's about a bazillion others.

If I have any music playing, it's usually my rock/celtic/celtic rock mix - but I've got a ton of tracks in those genres, so that's not really unique to playing dwarf fortress.

Oddly, I find the opening track from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind to be good DF music too.  That might be from the association, the slow pan over a tapestry (engraving?  I can't remember if it was a tapestry or mosaic and am too lazy to plug up my DVD) depicting ancient disaster placed against very pretty music.  I guess that might sum up an "average" DF experience: peaceful, secure, and productive until utter destruction by fire and war ensues.  Now I want to mod in a Giant Warror/God Warrior megabeast. or start a challenge above-ground embark pinned between a coast and an evil forest/jungle... blargh.

Fire Emblem music isn't bad either, but I swear it makes me more protective of my expendable militia dwarves if it's playing while there's a fight on.

Those who have experienced Dwarf fortress without listening to Loreena Mckennitt, have hardly experienced Dwarf Fortress at all.

Mostly modern dance/electronica- plus a bunch of alternative and other misc. music that a friend had on his music library (we share a comp, so I took it :P). Pandora works, too, as well as movies and stuff that you can 'watch' audio-only.

But you never see a movie where a terrible coal plant accident causes a horrible devastation, do you? Nope, everyone seems to think that nuclear plants get their energy by smacking live atomic warheads all day or something.

On a related note there is a wonderful redone version of the DF theme here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQG7WUdPYvE

If I'm not playing that, I like to either turn on the net radio to metal or folk metal or sometimes play the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Those are great for any fantasy game, makes it feel all epic-y and stuff. :D

I listen to Rammstein, when epic battle comes, i turn on "Ich tu dir weh" which is german for I hurt you.
Song is about something else, but hurting goblins with magma seems to be enough.
Laichzeit and Weisses Fleisch for normal gameplay.

Probably thats why they are used with pentagrams on covers of Satanic Black Metal albums.

Haha, I actually listen to the in-game music, turned up to a decent volume. It's repetitive, but not distracting.

Amusingly, the music will put my girlfriend to sleep within about 15 minutes of her hearing it. She sometimes likes to watch me play -- in that case I'll change to Pandora or she'll be down before I get the game loaded.

Just heard this, and decided that when Oblivion isn't breaking my ear drums with trumpets that are ten times louder than in-game ambiance music, Reign of the Septims makes epic seige-fighting music.

I, for one, use the default music :P

Or, if I feel like it, I pull up a random Homestuck album and listen straight through. That's fun too.

This is pretty much what I do. Most of the tracks in the Homestuck albums don't have lyrics and so aren't too distracting and the songs sometimes fit quite well.
