I love Pandora. Just learned of Empire of the Sun. Their style reminds me of the classic campy style of Sci-Fi that had existed before. Works extremely well with some Audiosurf 2 skins. Especially the Storm series (Sandstorm, Redstorm, Snowstorm).
Empire Of The Sun - We Are The PeopleEmpire Of The Sun - Standing On The Shore Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream Also kudos to playing enough Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, I learned of Klaxons.
Klaxons - Echoes (Album cover looks like one of my cats (Rock in Paradise, you'll always be missed.))
Klaxons - Twin FlamesAnd who doesn't love The Killers?
The Killers - When You Were YoungAnd a rather 80's sounding tune.
Ghostland Observatory Paparazzi Lightning Speaking of which...
The Cult - She Sells SanctuaryAlways a classic. Always reminds me of tearing ass on the test track at 220+MPH in a 787b (love the sound of the engine in the replays at those speeds), or plowing through the ranks of a Formula-1 race in Gran Turismo. That, or making a guy dressed as a Slim Jim get terribly ripped apart by a BMX bike (The worse the crash, the more points you score. Best multiplayer challenge ever made. The water park with an active ski-lift of sorts... That level = ouch (over a million points easy.).
(edit:)
Another good one
The Bravery - BelieveEDIT:
More in my updated Plug.dj list. I like how well my playlist works in music games. Even Beat Hazard is more fun with them. Some of them are outright abusive in Sounddodger+.
EDIT EDIT:
Oh right, that song also reminds me of making a
Suzuki Escudo (Pike's Peak Edition) do a wheelie, and reach speeds I never thought were possible (well over mach under the right circumstances).
