Music you like to listen to while playing BTW

Post by HappyDyas »

Ive come to no longer appreciate silence in BTW because I start to stress and think about all of the horrors and all of the things i "should definitely not worry about." So i fill that void with music. But i cant listen to rock or metal like i normally do as for me it breaks immersion and then i also have a hard time hearing important sounds like the ever looming zombie, lurking creepers and waylay skeletons.

Spotify link:
https://open.spotify.com/user/exquisite ... dF7ealufNg
Spotify URL (dont know if theres a difference):
spotify:user:exquisitefruit:playlist:0QwcIeNpDmddC9McY2rRd4

a small list of songs that im ever expanding. Approaching Nirvana has an excellent playlist of songs and individuals scattered through other playlists and would 100% recommend checking them out on youtube or what have you.

I've recommended it in the past (years ago), but if you're looking for good ambient medieval-esque music that I find suits BTW really well (I often listen to it myself while playing), I highly recommend Dead Can Dance:

That song was the first thing I'd put on when booting up MC for years :)

They have a really extensive library of tunes, and most of it is really good.

That's a particularly powerful piece. So much so that I was pleasantly surprised when I realized they used it for the infamous final scene of The Mist.

I also really like Fever Ray for ambiance. You may recognize them from the theme song of Vikings:

These days, I'm listening to Mexican metal while playing, mostly due to living next to an active construction site, but I suspect that's not what you're looking for :)

I created a youtube playlist with the songs I listed above (minus Molotov ;) ), and I'll continue adding to it as they occur to me:

So I absolutely don't listen to any music or shows when playing BTW. If I miss the quiet footsteps or telltale sound of an enemy it can mean my death. For me BTW is way to hard core to add any distractions.

This just in! RTH to contain a TARDIS!

I was just wanting to listen to some thematically appropriate music while playing, so I added a bunch of stuff to the above mentioned playlist if anyone is still looking for tunes:
